    It’s a combination of megapixels, lens quality, and focus ability, all in increasing order of importance. I truly believe I could have gotten just as good of a shot at 24mp, everyhing else the same.

    This was a Nikon Z8 with the “kit” Nikkor Z 24-120mm. I toyed around with different configurations but this lens was the sharpest and fastest to focus. My cheap f/1.8 lenses looked smeary in comparison.

    I have done similar hummingbird shoots with my D750 with it’s Nikkor N 24-120. You CAN get similar shots but the focusing will be 10x harder. Most of the pictures I’ve posted on this account were taken with that camera and I still consider it a treasure


  • Microsoft is a collection of fiefdoms, each led by a Lord (Product Manager) who drive projects which have two possible motivations: 1) promotion 2) bonus. Quality is not a factor and hasn’t been for decades. Cohesion? No. The lords sometimes fight amongst themselves. They serve the line go up. Everything is line go up. There is no bottom to the products. Line must go up








  • I get where you’re coming from. You could revisit the contributions you’ve made and the messages and replies you’ve received. The difference is that those ARE meaningful and hopefully in a good way. I think Reddit actively pushes the concept of karma because it’s an great engagement metric and they love that.

    My opinion is that Reddit is captured and driven to push engagement for advertising revenue at the expense of meaningful interaction. Lemmy is a platform where that engagement metric is only intrinsic to the individual. People are here because they want to have meaningful conversations? Maybe I’m dreaming
