• 1 mi ≈ 1.609 km

• The ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers Fₙ₊₁/Fₙ tends to the golden ratio φ ≈ 1.618 as n increases

So Fₙ mi ≈ Fₙ₊₁ km

*This is how I do it

🤣 today's Reality Check!

Good Moaning! 😉 ☕

Had some time to go to the nearby to the wildlife reserve and shoot some birbs yesterday!
#birbposting of mom and her young'uns - grooming, looking for food and prepping for sleep.
Surprisingly decent shots for my first proper outing with the 800 mm manual focus.

🎉 📷 🔭 🎉
Finally have a nice setup going for the 800mm lens!
· Had to drill and fit an end-stop screw to the T2-F-mount adapter
· Got a lens-hood (105mm ⌀ !)
· Also a circular polarized filter to try out
· A lens mount for the tripod (had to file it down to accommodate the large diameter)
Now I can balance the setup in its center of gravity to reduce vibration and eliminate droop. The hood should improve quality a lot according to people.
Time for some tests and #birbposting ! 😎

I feel personally attacked!

This #legroom post goes out to @nm!
Won exit row lottery for the MUC-HEL leg. 😊
And now for some nice Lufthansa 🍺!

Is it time to bring back #legroom photos?
HEL-MUC and onward to POZ

My new desk ornament for the office has arrived.
This will solve all the problems, ONCE AND FOR ALL! 😆

Heh, interesting timeline coincidence…
@HerraBRE

It's a really nice spot in general though (Espoo, Nuottaranta – see also EXIF coordinates).

Getting exposure completely wrong and fixing it to a degree in post… kinda.

So yeah, took the new 800 mm lens out to get some #birbposting content. Really hard to get it sharp. Doesn't help that the adapter ring is missing an end-stop and the lens keeps falling out. 😑
Look at the little ones though! 😍

HAVE YOU HEARD LIISA? @tbr IS NOW TRYING TO TAKE #BIRBPOSTING PHOTOS JUST LIKE @sophia . BUT DAMN DOES HE STILL SUCK AT IT!

Heh, Helsinki metro 🚇 info Screens run Firefox or some derivative.
At least judging by the crash reporter on this screen.
