MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

And with craft hobbies it's "lol, I have to hide this from my husband hehe"

Jesus on a hovercraft, you earn your own money and can spend it on hobbies as you like. If your partner controls your income, that is abuse and not a joke.

Ofc irresponsible spending yadda yadda but that's not the "joke".

One of the tiredest tropes in most hobbies is "man hiding or lying to his wife about his purchases." If she doesn't truly support you it's a bad relationship! If you buying it will legitimately cause financial strife you haven't discussed with her you're a bad husband!

This is excellent stuff. it's always so hard to work with such intense reds.

I just always call out this behavior when I see it because a few generations just treated this as if it was normal and expected and boy it shouldn't be

Been listening to a lot of the ultra heavy beat. Was reminded this doodle exists.

A rough digital illustration in an ink and wash style. A man stands on the hood of a car shouting ‘you government hates you!’ into a bullhorn. A gathered crowd replies back in unison ‘so hate your government!’

Paintings from 4-6 years ago for.... reasons probably

An abstract oil painting with a tan background and a large white multi-armed monster filling the middle of the space. One long arm that mimics a highway with cars on it extends to a vignette of a white man with a ball cap and sidearm holding a sign saying "I'm not a racist" and the white monster is adding a small sign that simply says "but." Another arm holds an assault rifle in a field of dead blody children labeled with 'thoughts' and 'prayers.' The back of the monster feels cramped, and a rendering of the statue of liberty feels like it's being shoved out. It has also been defaced with a derp expression. One arm holds a sign in front of it saying "Closed Keep Out." One arm holds a football. The monster's 'foot' is a realistically rendered hand grabbing a pile of money that's on fire because of an eagle dropping bombs. The eagle is being carried by drones. The monster's tongue is spiraled like the snake from the Gadsden flag. it's not a subtle piece.

An oil painting of a wooden puppet being controlled on strings with a bad yarn toupee in front of an upside down American flag with the stars replaced by the bars of the Confederate flag. The words "WHAT THE FUCK" have been partly graffitied over so it now reads "WHAT THE FAKE NEWS." In the upper right brown figures are behind bars while white figures storm with torches. In the left side is the clearly legible inscription "White nation, beholden to God, with liberty for men and justice for the rich." It is above cartoon-y diary heart with "RU" and "NK" in the main one.

An oil painting divided into two fields. The left field is about 1/3 of the width, and absolutely filled with color and people. In the foreground a couple of women embrace each other, holding one another's heads. A third woman reaches out to comfort them. In the background someone holds a sign reading "Our America." The right 2/3 is mostly empty, Caucasian flesh-colored space. A cross is implied by bloody splatters around the edges of the form. Close inspections reveals partially legible slurs white-washed over. Barely visible in white letters on the off-white field through the center bar of the cross is 'Their America'

Everything is easy and you'll be able to do it in less than a half hour probably, but, it is all very dependent on figuring out why with the shutter open in bulb you say you can't see through the lens. You should be able to. It's the only way to properly fix your focus, very small tolerances matter.

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 17h

But they are pictures, so the shutter opened. When the shutter is open you can see the light on the ground glass. The only way to know how much you need to move the focus scale is to open the shutter and use the image on the ground glass to figure out where the lens is in focus.

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 17h

I'm afraid I once again don't understand then, you got those images from it right? So, the shutter does open. Does it only do so at some speeds? On some level not being able to see through the lens with the shutter open on bulb sounds like your actual problem to address.

1

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 17h

If you can see through the open lens, put it on a tripod, open the shutter in bulb with a locking cable release, put the ground glass in place, then throw a dark blanket or shirt over it and look. Outside bright light is easiest. You'll want about a 5x or so loupe to check precise focus.

1

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 17h

Without the ground glass or back in place, if you open the shutter in bulb can you look through the lens? If so, another ground glass won't help much, a simple ground glass without a fresnel doesn't vary much in brightness from any other.

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 18h

The tolerance of your modification and the tolerance in the focal length variation of the lens have to be adjusted to a number that's only right for that combination, unfortunately.

1

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 18h

This isn't really a guessing game sorta thing. I'd figure out what's up with viewing the image. Wide open aperture and set the shutter open in bulb and you should be able to see the image. f4.7 shouldn't be crazy dark but it'll be dim, a dark cloth does help. But you can't just guess collimation.

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 18h

I'm... not sure I understand? If you've got a ground glass you just set the lens until something at infinity (a mile away or more) is in sharpest focus using a loupe and that's infinity. Mark where that is and then move the stop so the lens comes to that point. Closer distances will sort themselves.

terroriZED @behindthebluemotel.com · 18h

And just to confirm since it doesn't photograph in a visible way, the ground surface of the glass is inside closest to the lens yeah?
