How do I take better pictures of myself. I found out that this is a bit of a skill.

I've noticed alot of people spending months to years focusing on this and getting better pictures for instagram ect. When you see them in person they just seem average at the most. (Some look nothing like these pictures in person)

I would like to learn how to take good images like pic related and get a good collection of pictures.

I always noticed I like the image I see in mirrors whether its gym or similar. When I take photo's (iphone 12 selfie camera) I get depressed and look like shit.

I've always seemed to get a positive reaction in person and people think I'm good looking (get mired, get complimented ect ect)

I take selfies with my iphone 12 and I always look like shit. I also never have put in effort into photography so I might be missing some stuff. All I know is when I take selfie pictures 1 out of 50 are good and the rest are pretty bad.

Is this because I'm ugly or am I retarded at photography?

I've always thought that men taking photo's all the time is gay but I gotto get with the times. I would like to take pictures like the image I've posted.

Is the mirror more accurate then a camera selfie. (I know its not because I keep seeing really fat gross girls and their social media makes them look sporty and nice and they're like the type of women you hide from your friends, like 130kg + and they don't look anything like their pictures.)

Just saying how do I learn the arts of photography? Is this the right place to ask?

It's your twice weekly gear thread! The most active discussions on /p/ right here!

I'm currently in the market for a new macro focusing rail, my current one is just a cheapo off amazon you need to loosen to adjust.
I see Sirui making decent items all around, and they make a focusing rail for less than $120 but I wouldn't mind some input from other anons.

I'm trying to seriously learn about photography as art, and I'm reading, but I just don't get it
Take A Sea of Steps for instance, I'm reading this primer and it says:
>"Remarkable for its composition and sense of light and space, the photograph conveys the climbing up the stairs, as if analogous to ascending toward the divine serenity symbolized by the illuminated archway"
>"he vertical lines of the columns rise out of the curve of the steps that seem to flow and swell like ocean waves; what Evans' called "a sea of steps."
Like, I don't get it. I just don't get composition, what they mean by form and structure, I DON'T GET IT

What is the "medium format" look? I hear gay retards say you can't get it on 645 which makes no sense to me because 645 is bigger than digital medium format and only slightly smaller than 6x6 so it wouldn't make sense to show up in 6x6 and not 645. the thing that I thought was the "medium format" look I guess is really a large format thing? The thing I think of is wide angle but shallow DoF like a brenizer method portrait to me is the "medium format" look. because if its just normal shallow DoF there are 35mm/full frame lenses with apertures as wide as most 645/6x6 lenses and there are full frame digishit and 35mm slide films that are around as grain/noise free as 120 film

so Alaris owns the rights to sell all Kodak stills film and respoolers have caused Kodak to require proof someone is making an actual film before they sell them any vision 3.
So why is Cinestill and Lomography allowed to sell rebadged vision 3 and disposable camera film and why have they been allowed to do it for like a decade + and why are they still allowed to do it, but the other respoolers are a problem?

Did I genuinely fuck up buying MFT or does gear autism make you think you're always wrong?
I wanted a decently compact but still powerful camera, with durable weather sealing, good low light and light astro.
MFT seems to fit everything so I got it, but now reading more about how people hate it I wonder if I made a huge mistake.

I'm looking at MFT data for my lenses I own because I want to know the sweet spots. sometimes the the aperture with the highest resolution is also the one with the highest contrast and sometimes contrast and resolution peak at different F-stops.
What is the difference between resolution and contrast?
Which is more important?

so I was watching this boomer's vid and this boomer is a professional photographer with xboomer number of years of experience and he was arguing that the compression on the 75mm olympus m43 lens was the same compression you would see on a 75mm full frame lens. like he was saying the working distance was 150mm equivalent but the compression and distortion on the model was 75mm worth. this doesn't make sense to me, isn't compression based on angle of view or whatever and not focal length?
also this boomer for some reason shoots fucking olympus m43 for client work and edits it on his ipad. he must work for temu or wish or something because I think he said its ecommerce and his argument is they can't tell the difference anyway on the images since its social media posts for clothing and he shoots in front of a backdrop anyway, but its weird as fuck to me that some dude who gets paid for photos and is doing fashion photography voluntarily chose micro43 to shoot in a studio. and the dude I would think has money or full frame cameras since he has a fucking studio to shoot at and was using whatever is the flagship 25mm that olympus sells.

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

Quick FAQS
>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?
The blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k, or the Panasonic gh5 (can pick one up for like 500 bucks atm)
>what’s a good beginner video camera?
Anything that works, shoots at least 1080p and preferably has interchangeable lenses. Any recommendation beyond that will cause arguments so read the fucking sticky if that isn't satisfactory.
>What's a good sound solution that won't break the bank?
Zoom h1
>Can I use a zoom lens for video?
Yes
>Do I need cine lenses?
No
>Do I need 4k?
No. 1080 looks great on a cinema screen. 4k looks better.
>Can someone tell me if my video is any good?
Yes, but be prepared to receive harsh criticism. If you're going to waste 5 minutes of our time with a shitty out-of-focus montage of nothing then we'll tell you that it's crap
>Is it okay to dox myself?
...Personally I wouldn't but what do I know?

The film aesthetic needs to die already.
fuck_film
For decades boomers held back the evolution of photography. Now hipsters have joined them. Today modern digital cameras are still designed as if it was 1995. Billions of dollars over the past 30 years has been wasted by corporations designing digital cameras around designs of 1950s film clunkers. The world of photography should have moved on from film and its janky designs twenty five years ago. Cellphone companies certainty figured this out. Now they are eating camera companies alive. How embarrassing.
Fuck retarded photographers and camera companies for not pulling their heads out of their ass. There is literally no rational reason to be using film today besides hipsters shitting themselves over bygone aesthetics. This is especially true since 99% of their shared film photos are DIGITALLY SCANNED AND UPLOADED TO THE INTERNET!!! There is certainly no reason for cameras to be be clunky monstrosities either besides boomers nostalgic for the past and retarded corporations catering to them. God damn, film and its antiquated designs still hounding photography. Film and its lingering stench need to die already.

If your not a self hating sensor size queen doesn't this seem like the perfect everyday carry? Nothing can replace film but at least for digital shooting this looks perfect for most use cases not covered by the OM-2 Mark ii.

What are the best and worst filn stocks you've ever used?
IMG_20250208_185007 (1)
Best one I've ever used so far was Kodak Gold 200 due to the vintage look and warm colors and Ilford HP5 for contrasty street photography.
Worst was Fuji 100. While the vibrance is okay, it's way too blue and green.

I don't get it. when it comes to image quality, the single most important thing is the lens (at least for film cameras where you can swap the sensor at will). Why do people prefer the 1970s manual chase the light meter cameras to the 90s blobmeras that take EF glass and have modern metering, auto focus and programming controls? EF glass is going to kick the shit out of 1970s glass

Graffiti Photography
DSC05557
Any tips for graffiti or so called "street art" photography? Give me your harshest criticism.
I've started taking photographs only recently and I'm mainly interested in demons, usually in urban areas. Basically anything occult or disgusting. Poverty, prostitution, drug addicts, all that sort of stuff.
Other subjects such as buildings, landscapes, animals, etc, I don't find too difficult to frame although I'm still in the process of learning this new hobby.
But those graffiti ones, which I find are my favourite since the subjects are mostly being drawn by schizos and vendalists, are more difficult. They always come out dirty or messy to some degree, or maybe that's just in their nature.
I'll post some that were taken on Tel Aviv. I'm about to embark or a journey throughout Europe, where I'm told this phenomena is 20x worse than in here, and I want to be ready since my time over there is very limited.

How do we save photography and ourselves bros? Media has gone completely schizo and there is no way one single image of literally anything, not even hardcore porn can compete with what short form video has done to 99% of people's brains. The output of our hobby is decimated because of over-stimulation and information overload.

Is there anything that can be done? Do we have to all get into video ASAP and accept that stills are dead? Do we start writing on blogs again like it was 2012 to go with our photos? Walling off into Flickr did not work as that platform is even more dead than Instagram. We have some of the most realistic, smartest autists online on 4chan, I am sure we can come up with a logical practical solution.

3. Get a flash of some kind if you're doing handheld macro, get a softbox if your lighting is too harsh (it is)
4. 1x magnification can be overkill. Nobody cares if you hit 1x or greater, if it's framed like shit
5. 200mm for bugs, 100mm for all-purpose, lower focal lengths are memes
6. Extension tubes are cheap enough to dabble. Stick them on something between 50-200mm and go to town
7. Gear posts are allowed but keep it on topic
8. Any macro is encouraged. Bugs, plants, textures, minis etc. all welcome

There is this thing that happens in photography, (particularly in porn) where the magic veil of the medium is pierced and I realize that what I'm actually looking at is; a man paid a sex workers to take photos of her in a cheap hotel.

Why though? Why does the illusion hold sometimes but not others? I have the vague sense that it has something to do with the depth of field, but that's not all of it. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly causes it, but I've definitely experienced it quite a few times looking at photos. Any thoughts?

I really want to know because it is currently the major fear holding me back from doing shoots with women. I don't want this weird uncanny effect showing up

Just saw a pixelpeeping comparison between a Leica and a Voigtlander
last100
A Noctilux 50mm f1 and a Nokton 50mm f1.1.
Turns out the Nokton is sharper in the center wide open, but has ever so slightly busier bokeh. The Nokton is priced at $400, the Noctilux $6000. It strikes me how autistic you have to be to justify such a price for what is now an antiquated lens that gets mogged by any modern first party 50mm F1.2 anyway.

Pic related is a "special edition" last 100 Leica Noctilux in a wooden presentation case that can be yours for just 26000 euros.

Why do so many youtube photographers take such ass photos? grainydays and his friend who is even more insufferable just take photos of trash. Matt Granger, despite having asian porn stars in his photos takes all these horrible hassleblad photos. Like the sumo photo he brags about just looks like pure ass. The only one who consistently takes good photos is that kiwi chick with the fat jaw who looks green in that snoy pic. I'd say its just because she takes photos of hot girls, but considering all the others taking ass photos that can't be the reason. even peta pixels take portraits of the camera guy where the lighting looks like ass

So I get sticking your camera right up in someone's face looks weird because too close so generally people want 85mm-200mm for head shots. but beyond that, if you are taking nonhead shot portraits, what do the focal lengths do? is it just a matter of you choose closer to 35-50mm if you want the background around the subject and you chose like 105-135mm to use the compression to isolate the subject from the context of the background and the only other big consideration would be how much physical room you have to shoot?
IE if you are shooting at a park and have room and want the background to fuck off, the compression of 135 mm or 200 mm will do that the best, where as in a studio with a controlled background you might pick 50mm or 85mm because lol no space to get the 2/3rds or what ever % of the body in shot you want?
Let's say I want to do cowboy (mid thigh up) framing, 40mm, 50mm, 90mm and 150mm would all work fine and it would just be a matter of how much physical space I have and how much I want to show the background vs use compression to isolate the subject from the background?

I hate using my tripod. Setting it up is fiddly, shortening the legs is annoying and when I clamp down my ball head it moves the composition slightly. Don't even get me started on trying to use it for macro, getting the tripod to lean right is such a huge pain.
How do I buck up and learn to love my tripod? What head do you use? What genres do you shoot with it, which do you do handheld?
I appreciate what it does when everything goes right, composing with a camera that isn't moving around a little all the time makes my photos better but damn it's so annoying.

Why does it suck?
Ren Cockwell
Why does carrying around a camera suck so much? Am I doing something wrong?
The problem I have is that the camera is always this irritating foreign object dangling from my body. When I carry it over my shoulder, it keeps swinging around, annoying the fuck out of me. If I shorten the strap so it's less annoying, suddenly it's so short that I can only hold it, like, four inches from my face, which is even more annoying. What the hell do I do? Just use pocket cameras like my GR II? Anything I have to carry on a strap literally gives me high blood pressure from how irritating it is while walking around.

Not sure where to ask, so I figured /p/ could help. It's about microphotpgraphy and microscopy, so I'm hoping it's on topic enough.

Any opinions on the Swift SW380B? I plan to get one with a 5 megapixel camera that goes in the eyepiece slot, and using it connected to my laptop or phone. I've used college lab microscopes for a couple years when I got my associate's degree, and I just want something for hobbyist use at home. I have no idea what brands I used in college, but I know this one has an abbe condenser. A camera that hooks to the phone/computer would make it cool too, never had that before.

Of course I'll be getting emission oil, dyes, and some accessories separately. I thought about getting the tripod version as well so a camera can hook in without interfering with the binoculars, but it's like an extra 100 bucks that doesn't seem like a huge change in convenience.

How did photographers for nat geo shoot slide film? did they carry external light meters? Did they bracket everything? did everyone use to bracket everything during the AE-1 and k1000 and kodachrome days? the only time I ever shot slide film I had some images exposed fine, but a decent number under exposed by less than a stop. something that isn't an issue on that camera with negative film and an issue I've only had with negative film when using disposable cameras or shooting in a dark concert with a point and shoot (and even then most of them that were in focus were fine). the thing annoying about that specific SLR is the meter displays in full stops and the shutter is in full stops, so to bracket I'd need to shoot manual so I can change the apertures by half a stop while maintaining shutter speed. And if I bracket I get 5 shots instead of 15. That is the one thing good about shooting digishit instead, I can just hold down the shutter and not care

why is it just boomers and browns? the 20mm pancake and 75mm are pretty convenient on the smaller bodies.
>muh dof
the compression on the 75mm alone can give you good enough separation from the background for portraits. its a 150mm f/3.5. tons of people do portraits with 70-200mm f/4 lenses or 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses stopped down a stop
the 20mm isn't even bad either considering all the people who jerk off to their contax t2
20mm f/1.7 is 40mm f/3.5. A contax t2 is a 38mm f/2.8 you literally cannot set to f/2.8 and I'm sure the way that thing is programmed its shooting at f/8 or f/11 when in auto mode and only dropping the aperture when the shutter drops below 1/125th or something

I've been messing around lightroom, trying to edit some photos I took from my father working on the house, but I just don't understand what am I doing or what I want to do. How can I develop some sense of to go for when editing? To me it looks kinda cool with all the unrealistic editing, but maybe that's just because I don't understand what a solid edit is.
Also did the tree back there ruin the photo? Can I edit it out or is that cheating?

Canon EOS R8 used
Would I be retarded for buying this for filming?

I borrowed a Canon R8 and 35mm f1.8 for my YouTube channel. I absolutely loved using it over my old EOS-M.
I had zero complaints after filming about 4 hours of automotive repair footage.

I made a shutter speed tester
1420340826
It's essentially a copy of the PhotoPlug that doesn't cost €35, it plugs into your phone's 3.5mm jack and masquerades as a microphone while using an app called Shutter-Speed. I'll show you how to make it for less than $10:

What you'll need:
BPX38: https://a.aliexpress.com/_ooNVS3N
3.5mm male 4-pole (TRRS): https://a.aliexpress.com/_okCBOkR
4.7k ohm resistor: https://a.aliexpress.com/_oCb7WGP

Instructions:
Step 1: Take the 3.5mm plug and bridge the sleeve (mic) and ring (ground) next to it with your 4.7k resistor.
Step 2: Your phototransistor has an emitter, base, and collector lead. Snip off the base.
Step 3: Solder the BPX38 in parallel to the resistor. Make sure the emitter is connected to the ring, and that the collector is connected to the sleeve.
Step 4: Cut off the cable strain reliever and screw the plastic cover back on.

There ya go, enjoy not having to worry about exposure guesswork with your mechanical film cameras anymore.

Attempted to self scan my first roll of film. The light is not 100% even as I used a diffused flash.

I used a Minolta SRT 101 and an MC Rokkor 55 f/1.7 lens with a Fuji 100 film.
Overexposed all shots by 2/3-1 stop and edited the RAW on Lightroom, taken by a macro lens on a DSLR.

>buy a R100 with adapter
>it's kinda meh but my Tamron works with it

>fuck yes, I can finally go full frame
>buy a RP
>regret it shortly after it arrives
>28mm is way too wide
>40mm is ok, but faces get really distorted when I get up close
>also have a 90mm macro lens which I rarely use
>it's actually great on FF, on APS-C the FOV was too narrow
>that's like the only upside of buying a FF camera
All this happened in about 6 months and I ended up with a gear I don't like shooting with. Shold have stayed with 200D. So yeah, think before you buy something.

Alright fagboys, convince me why should I sell my pen-f and buy a worm machine? the upgrade 100% does not seem worth it
pancake (in FF equivalents)
M43 is a 40mm f/3.4
Fuji is a 41 f/4.3
so Fuji is a half stop slower
Telephoto prime
M43 is 150mm f/3.6
fuji is 138mm f/3.1
so again, what is that, half a stop? 1/3rds of a stop?
Macro
m43 has the based 60mm f/2.8, does fuji have an equivalent? the 30mm is only a 46mm equiv so shit working distance compared to the 60mm (120mm equiv). the fuji 60mm is only 1:2. the Fuji 80mm is equivalent to the olympus 60mm (about the same focal lengths) and 1:1 but the olympus was like $500 so it will sell for like what, $300 if I am lucky vs paying $1,000 for the fuji lens.
I really don't see any reason to "upgrade"

Explain optics to me.

I have collected bunch of shitty cameras.
>Canon SX160 IS (1/2.3" 28-448 mm eq F3.5 - F5.9. Slowest aperture F8.0 no ND)
>Nikon S32 (1/3.1" 30-90mm eq. f/3.3 - F5.9 aperture options: F6.6 and ND)
>Sony HX100V (1/2.3" 27-810mm eq. F2.8 - F5.6 Slowest F8.0 + ND)
>Fujifilm S4200 (1/2.3" 24-576 mm eq. F3.1 - F5. 2 aperture options F5.9, F8 and F20 (ND) )
>Phone (cheapo $200 1/3.1" 28mm F3.1)

And I've been testing things out.
If subject is far away (say from infinity to aprox 15-20 cm away from the lens), best camera is probably sony, followed by canon, then nikon and phone then fuji.
BUT! When shit is really close, say 3-4 cm away from the lens, all of a sudden fuji performs the best. Followed by sony, canon, nikon, phone.
Why? Makes no fucking sense.

Sony is sharp with chromatic aberration controlled very well.
Canon is shap-ish with chromatic aberration not controlled at all, not it seems to be corrected by the camera. (no aspherics from what I understand, which probably leads to chromatic aberation)
Phone is sharp-ish with chromatic aberration probably corrected by software and in lens too (phone lesnes are usually fully aspheric with like 10 elements inside)
Nikon is sharp-ish and from what I can see chromatic aberration is either controller really well, or just corrected really well in the software.
Fujifilm is a blurry piece of shit, with chromatic aberration being blured by overall shittiness of lens... Except when object is really close. Did they make a microscope by accident?

Thing definitely has its uses. So many people say you don’t need a flash but I’d say it just as essential as a tripod. Wish I got it way earlier.

first digital compact camera
photo_2023-04-05_13-51-43
So basically I'm looking for a digital compact camera, i own a canon dlsr with that custom fw but ima be honest i never take this huge bitch with me. But I also don't really want to use my phone because idk the pics simply veeeery rarely manage to capture this idk what I remember seeing in my head. there seems to be this e CHDK (Canon Hacker Development Kit) thingy I assume thats something I want ...

but at the same time I honestly really don't mind this old look cameras. I know too little about this to really tell where this sorta look im thinking off comes from if its the lens or the sensor or actually software that matters the most.

Whats interesting specifically for me is:

-I guess some flexibility with the file format this outputs and no super stupid firmware problems like being restricted to very tiny sdcards (I ideally never want to worry about swapping sdcards unless to extract). Raw may be cool as a concept but im not exactly sure if I will actually make use of that but still a non shitty firmware does seem appealing

- something that doesn't require very calm hands to somewhat reliably produce somewhat sharp pictures. I know there is no perfect image stabilisation and that it also depends on the amount of light you want/need to capture but I'd still like it if I could somewhat casually take pictures

- (not forced but would be useful) something that doesn't like produce sounds or red notification lights before taking a pic. The best pics i took of my friends were without their knowledge so like I'd appreciate that if it can't be disabled to always make a sound or flash a light that it at least does that AFTER it took a picture <if it plays a sound via a speaker I could solder that out cleanly probably assuming it can't be disabled>

[more dunno preferences/requirements below] <pic related is a random picture taken with some old samsung as its the only file I have rn that remotely captures the sort of feeling>

I'm trying to put some JPGs that I'll be using as reference for a wedding that I'm shooting onto an SD card so that I can look at them on my camera instead of pulling my phone out for different poses/shots but for some reason JPGs don't seem to show up on the SD card when I'm viewing it on the camera's galley?
Anyone know why this is happening and how I can get it to work?

Can some camera nerd tell me what camera they used from the part 0:24? Is it some old camcoder? Or how could I achieve this effect?

https://youtu.be/Nbe-h8Skv3Q?si=IFav2GXXMtajdvBa

Also general camcoder thread I guess.

I took this photo on July 28th of last year 2024, at approximately 4:36 am. That day was one I looked forward to with excitement, because I was going to be alone in my house for the entire day. Due to problems that I had been carrying all year, I could not communicate with a person whom I love with all my being, since my parents disapprove of our relationship. They are strong believers in the Catholic religion, so you can imagine what they think.Going back to the previous point, I woke up as soon as I heard the door close, I sneaked out to make sure they left,Once they were gone, I proceeded to write to my beloved, I lasted until 3:46 am, telling him about the problems I was going through at that time,About how supposed friends had left me, and above all, how much I loved him... When I finished writing to you, I spent the rest of the night playing on my government laptop (Canaima), mainly Roblox, since it seemed appropriate to play classic experiences or with few players, mainly those furthest from the hand of God, in my opinion it is... simply beautiful, But I am straying too far, immersed in my melancholy, waiting for a response from my beloved, I turned to look at the landscape in the window, That purple sky, with the light of the rising sun, I was mesmerized by such a beautiful scene, I remembered that I had a song suitable for the moment, No surprices of Radiohead, I put it in my player, opened WhatsApp, and played it, that scene made me cry.Sorry, well, that's how I took this photo, thank you very much for reading, this photo is very beautiful to me, and I hope you feel the same, thank you.

Melanistic Penguin

This is a melanistic penguin. It is extremely rare.

It has a mutation that makes it entirely black due to an excess amount of melanin.

Anyone have trouble with this Camera
images (1)
I am having a very major issue with the x100vi, I have tried troubleshooting in every way I possibly could and now I am not sure what to do. The first issue is that I am unable to edit/save/ or do anything involving making custom film simulations. The second issue is I am unable to reset the camera in any way, when I click reset, it does nothing.

So far I have tried the following: Turn off and on, remove battery and SD card, switch SD cards, update firmware. Charged it, let the battery basically run out.

I am stumped on what to do next, I tried searching online for hours but found no one had similar these same issues. I am wondering if In should return the camera.

Do you have a photography studio or mobile setup? I've been wanting to do shoots with more creative sets and I'm considering setting up a home studio.

What are the essentials? Do you have any tips or budget options for light diffusion or backdrops?

I shoot newborn and portrait photography and plan on starting with a 48in softbox but would love input from anyone with more experience.

Got a Canon T90. Wondering if it fixed itself.
t90
Long story short, saw a cheap listing in the local classifieds section for a T90 and a Canon FD 200mm F2.8. I bought it mainly for the glass which turned out to be a turd that needs cleaning, but then I had a look at the T90, put in some batteries and fired it. Seemed to work, but then after a few clicks i got the EEEE error and it would not fire, took out the batteries and put them in again and got it to fire once more before the same EEEE, this process could be repeated predictably. Batteries out and in again, fire, then EEE. Tried googling a bit and found suggestions about bumping it and whatnot, but it didn't seem to do anything so after a while of doing amateurish testing I just put it away in the hoard of other faulty cameras, then fast forward a couple of months and i decided to take a look at it again and whaddaya know.. it now fires every single time and without issue.
So my question, was it perhaps just some capacitor that needed to be recharged?

This whole thing about booms and busts in the used camera gear market is a new thing, no?
frogposting
Collectorfag here. Got into photography a couple of years back so don't have any reference points beyond that. I have seen booms and busts in other markets, but with used camera equipment this is probably something new or am I wrong?
Thinking more specifically on the vintage lens craze that saw a peak some 2 years ago and has been declining ever since.
