Best part is that birch trees turn yellow, not orange so they didn't even fake it properly.

That combination of hashtags is a work of art itself. Can we just permanently append "#wanderlust" to the thread title?

Never heard of Eric Kim, is he another Ken? Since this dude is currently deleting himself from the internet I took samples of his shots anywhere I could get them.

It's phenomenal how bad taste it is. I suppose this is what you get when you give someone who takes "moving" photos of the local homeless sleeping in a park too much money and a Leica.

This exchange in a local camera club Facebook page amused me. The photo posted was your usual super generic, spur of the moment group portrait thing. No real care given to surroundings (I remember there being the back of a car in shot), no lighting etc. Standard snapshot, and didn’t look like it was trying to be another other than that, so no ego or anything which is refreshing at least. Had been over processed as is expected, but the conversation under it gave me a surprised laugh at least.

Tag yourself, I'm the dude doing the mirror selfie with my camera up to my face and the pop-up flash on. I have a story of, maybe not a bad photographer, but definitely a very 'special' person. I got a FB message from some random dude a while ago. He'd seen me post in a local photography group and realised he lived close to me so wanted to know if I was up for a drink and some camera chat. I said sure and we met up, he was a nice enough guy, shoots mostly 6x6 medium format with a nice Hasselblad setup, seemed pretty chill. I told him about a place I'd been to recently with dead trains rusting away on a railway siding and he was pretty interested in going out there, so I gave him detailed instructions on how to get there and what to expect from security etc once there. I get a Fb message from him a few days later which was basically, 'hey I'm at that place you told me about and it's nothing like you described'. I'm like, ok, unless they literally dug the whole place up and replaced it in the last two weeks I don't see how that's possible. I ask him to send me his location, which he does, and he's in a completely different place. Like, not even on the same railway network. I point this out and he comes back with 'well there are trains here, I thought it was the same place!'. I spend an hour of my life that I will never get back trying to get him to understand that trains can be found in different places, and that just because he stumbled over trains in one place, that doesn't mean that there can't also be trains in a different location too.' I honesty thought he was winding me up because I didn't think anyone could be that dense. It wasn't a language barrier thing either, he's a native English speaker and so am I. A few weeks later, he contacts me again. He's heard about Helios bokeh and wants to try it out. Do I have a spare Helios 44 that I can lend him? Of course I have a bunch of them so I invite him over, lend him an M42 to EF adapter (he wants to use it on his 5D4), a bunch of random Soviet lenses and explain to him how the preselector ring works because he's never seen that before. It takes a while, but he finally gets it. The very next day he asks if he can meet me at lunchtime because it's an emergency - my office is close to where he lives so he can be there in a few minutes. I go down to the lobby to see wtf. He tells me that the adapter (just a dumb mechanical adapter) is stuck. He can't get it off the camera. I take a look, and he's somehow managed to put it on upside down. It's a super cheap Polish bit of cast metal, but it has the EF/EF-S red dot/white square registration marks on the body side - just like every lens that he's ever attached to his camera - and it has laser etched text on the front that is the right way up when it's mounted properly. By applying a lot more force than I'm really comfortable in using on a $4000 camera that doesn't belong to me, I get it off and explain to him how to mount lenses. He is honestly astonished by this, it had never occurred to him that lenses would only fit one way, or that adapters would fit exactly the same way as lenses do. Apparently he had to hammer it on to make it fit and it didn't occur to him that this was a bad thing. Today, I get another message from him asking how he can 'switch focusing' with the Jupiter I lent him. I ask him what he means. He says that when he uses his Minolta SLR, there's a split prism in the focusing window, but when he puts the Jupiter on his 5D4 it's really hard to focus, Can the Jupiter lens have that same split prism? I ask him how the lens can have those focusing aids without it being visible on the image and he tells me that's what the mirror is for.

I reached this part prepared to be sympathetic...i have an m42 to fuji adapter, and it can go on wrong, it just won't click into place....so if you put the lens on without looking, it can just not be on right, and i could see someone jamming it too hard to try to get it to engage. Nope, you've got a winner there. If I could offer some small advice? Stop lending him gear.

They are now friends forever. This is probably for the best because he would likely hurt himself trying to remove lenses he hammered on to camera bodies without someone to help and never have a true understanding of what trains are.

It’s like the old warner brother cartoons where the cat and the dog were shackled together, only it’s two people trying to pull a camera and an adapter apart.
