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.
Hoje não peço muito para o Benfas, um joguinho sem história, aquelas vitórias aborrecidas por 2-0… ⚽
Uma pessoa pode ser boa a “vender o seu peixe”, a “esticar a cena ao máximo”, podem ser muita boa nisso até, mas muito dificilmente será o Fernando Pereira que ainda continua a fazer a vida a imitar o Thriller do Michael Jackson!
…aaaaaand one more trip around the sun…
Not leaving home today!
Wrapping up a meeting earlier today…
Manhã pelas ruas de Almada, atrás de algumas das fotos da exposição organizada pela Narrativa a comemorar os 50 anos de elevação à cidade.

Whoever said that printers are hell never tried to configure an enterprise VPN…
E hoje houve mais um pouco de Rebecca Gaal, depois do Exodus Aveiro Fest no fim de semana hoje foi na Narrativa.
Kinda bummed, but not really surprised, that Instagram is phasing out Guides. It was a neat and different way to showcase work, that sadly never took off. Maybe because the Force is strong in the Scroll of Doom.
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.
A pensar em algo profundo no Exodus Aveiro Fest. Ou em cerveja. Um dos dois!

The kickoff message of this year’s #exodusaveirofest. It’s going to be a good weekend!
Literally back to back meetings the entire day, one project release, another project kick-off and yet another project refinement. Hope your day will be as fun!!
Travel to a far away place is cool and all that, but these photos won’t cull themselves…
Returning home also means going back to one of my favorite walkaround setups, and one that I rarely travel with: X-E3 + 27mm
Returning home also means returning to #commute photos
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…
Doing a full work week after so long out of office sure feels damn long! Oh well… Tomorrow’s Friday.
#twittlis day!!!
