Not a time loop game but has one of the best time loop levels of any game I have played - Titanfall 2.

Was only lit from below. It was a stock image from a duck duck go search - something like neon desktop background.

Sure:

Many many thanks! First time I have won a photo competition. Lovely to be a member of such talented people and love this little corner of the internet.

Congratulations! Well deserved!

Oh I agree with you and am not defending this practise. Was just trying to explain why it’s done.

All four seats are heated for free if the battery explodes… /s

Hi! That very kind of you and I am pleased, as an amateur hobby photographer l, that someone gets pleasure from my ‘pratting about’. Thank you for taking the time to post! It’s the small gestures that often give the most. :-)

Because it’s cheaper for them. Building all the cars the same simplifies production and inventory management. They don’t have to configure each car for the end users requirements; they just use software to turn these features on.

The question that should be asked is if they can put these features into the car and still make a profit why are these added features so expensive as all the fees are 100% profit!

That really is a great tree.

Thank you very much. We were really happy with it too. :-)

Thank you. We took many images during the shoot but this one stood out for its uniqueness. A happy accident. :-)

Check out the extension ‘cookie autodelete’. Enables you to set safe sites and will automatically delete all the other cookies when you navigate away from a page of close the browser. It’s real simple to configure and works a treat. It’s also available for chromium browsers. (I use it in Edge for work purposes)

I thought it was supposed to be the best privacy browser but after reading these comments my view has changed completely and have switched all devices to Firefox.

Smartdns is your friend for iPlayer and other UK geo fenced public tv services. Been using it for years and years…

That really cool! Congrats! These and dragonflies are my favourite insects. Fascinating and great to photograph.

Deleted all my comment and post history from there when I was directed to Lemmy. Zero regrets. Have not looked back. Find the engagement here far better; proper discussions without the trolls. Loving it… Also tried Mastodon and enjoying that too even though I never used twitter.

Used to spend hours each day on Reddit and was active contributor on the subreddits I subscribed to. Hoping we get some of the less popular and specialised communities here so we all got to make an effort to support the smaller ones by posting and commenting.

Thank you again.

WOW… My first ever photo award. Am honoured! Thank you!

Sure. I used a lightbox with a blackout curtain (sound flasher than it really is; it’s a cheap foldable plastic lightbox that has a few coloured inserts and led lights around the side and top. (I paid about 15€ for it). I put in the black felt insert as not to get any external reflections. You could do the same with a carboard box with the inside painted black). Placed the tablet inside (Was an iPad mini thing) and put some images on full brightness and full screen.

I used a Sony A7 iii camera with a Sony 90mm Macro lens on a tripod. As I wanted the bulb to fill the frame I was quite close to the subject and wanted everything in focus so stopped right down to F20, ISO 100 and exposed for the blacks which gave me an exposure time of 6 seconds. (I am sure the same kind of results could be achieved with a more open aperture and less exposure but I didn’t have a whole lot of time.)

I increased the luminosity and saturation in lightroom and lowered the shadows to make it “pop”. Then spent twenty minutes removing all the dust spots.

Hope this helps!
