In the latest video of Framelines (https://youtu.be/Sd41x2vp0fM), Josh Edgoose goes on a small tangent from the main topic: lenses should use the full-frame equivalent focal length, not the real focal length.
Why should the full-frame equivalent be the base reference? I understand the conventions and all that, but feels weird to put a focal that’s not the actual focal length, and, more important, it gives the sense that full-frame somehow is the “right one”, and the others orbit around it, which for me isn’t the case (all sensor sizes have their place, from tiny smartphone sensors to large format).
If it’s to get an universal measurement, then I’d rather jump head first to thinking in lenses in terms of field of view angle, and not focal length, something I’d loved lens makers displayed more prominently.
Chilin’ with your mates, checkin’ what’s going on at the Lisbon Photo Book Fair, roamin’ on the streets taking snaps. To sum it up, a nice Sunday afternoon!
De volta do Exodus Aveiro Fest, meio que ainda a processar tudo do fim de semana: as palestras, os reencontros de caras conhecidas, os bons hábitos que se foram criando ao longo dos anos.#exodusaveirofest2023
On fear and travel.
It’s funny how often the questions towards a traveler are kind of projection of the doubts and fears of a non traveler: “Where you scared?”, “Was it dangerous?”, “Don’t you think you can have an accident?”, “What if?”, etc.
This is neither good or bad, or it might be, depending on who’s asking. But there are much interesting answers when the question is realigned to things that were actually found, more than the things that could have happened.

I’m becoming a grumpy old person, and still kind of getting back to the everyday routine after returning from Nepal, so take this with a huge pinch of salt. But I’m getting so tired of most of the travel content being created nowadays, we somehow lost the joy of curiosity and discovery.
When did the travel stuff switched from the displaying the best of a place to “hey, look what I am doing now!”?
Why do most of the travel content creators now put themselves between the reader and the place they’re at?
Why do so many of them kind of play around with the readers lack of knowledge of that place to not be entirely honest about it, so it conveys the narrative they’re building?
I think I know the answers to all these questions, I guess this evolution to a more lifestyle driven way to do things never really caught on me. But again, I’m just a grumpy old guy…
Almost forgot to post this from my Annapurna trek: my arrival to Machhapuchhre Base Camp, with the weather really getting worse as we went up!
One more nepali taxi!
Finally time to give Bhaktapur its well deserved slow place, because good things don’t like rushing out. #bhaktapur #kathmanduvalley #nepal
Panauti, a quiet, slow paced, no frenzy Nepali historic town for a change. #panauti #kathmanduvalley #nepal
