I have the XPPen 24, used similar Wacom before but couldn’t justify the cost, really pleased with it overall, the macro keys and wheels are very useful. Software wise just Photoshop, and occasionally Corel when I want to mess around with digital painting.

Very cool toys, hadn’t seen a one wheeler before

Is that a ground penetrating radar wheelbarrow?!

My time in Northern Thailand made me want to explore over the border. It seems the closer we got to the more remote border regions the more beautiful the landscape became. Some of the Burmese food around Chiang Mai was amongst the best I’ve ever had. Kao Soi in particular, although maybe this is more Burmese influenced than actually Burmese?!

Add advanced augmented reality and teledildonics, shit is gonna get weird.

Are they gaudy and bejewelled?

You’re expecting privacy in a public space?!

Crofting refers to the land ownership system which is unique to Scotland, and a croft is technically a peice of land, but I’m talking about a crofter’s dwelling. There are a huge number of these derelict centuries old stone buildings which would’ve traditionally housed both livestock and people. They often have a cow shed at a lower level connected to the main dwelling so the heat would rise from the animals.

Farfalle, because its also a firework. If im not taking fireworks into consideration I’d have to say rigatoni, they have a good heft to them and take on sauce well. Good with butter and hot sauce.

One of my favorite apps (not updated, doesnt work very well anymore), but I still have it installed:

I can wiggle my little toes independently.

Any modern mirrorless will have better autofocus, but that shouldn’t be a concern as a beginner. The main reason I’d go with an older body is to allocate more budget to lenses. You’ll see a far bigger impact from investing in decent glass vs a modern camera body.

Because its an older body and the article authors wouldnt make affiliate income from the links.

Any RF mount camera will give you great results but you will be locked into a relatively new and expensive lens system with fewer options for third party lenses. A cropped sensor can be good for wildlife but will also restrict what lenses you can use. I’d recommend something like a 6D which gives you the benefits of full frame sensor and can use EF mount glass without an adaptor.

When you say nature photography are you thinking of landscapes or wildlife or both?
