Sure, I didn’t want to talk you into buying an e-p1 or something, just wanted to let you know how i felt about the gx80 compared to the oly ones. In theory the gx80 should be basically perfect for me, but somehow it just doesn’t feel right. Got it for 180€ incl. kit lense, flawless condition.

I have the og e-m10, later bought a used gx80 and a pen e-p1, both for real cheap. While the gx80 is probably now my “best” camera, it is currently collecting dust mostly, and i just kept using the e-m10.

And the e-p1, while certainly not up to date, i just love that one as a a walk around camera. Feels a lot smaller slimmer than the gx80 too, and i was already thinking if i should buy a newer of those pen style cameras. Maybe an e-p3 😆. Bought both those cameras from an ebay type platform.

I did not give the gx80 its fair chance yet (as in use it a lot for a while), but i would recommend the pen style oly’s, they’re fun, just miss the viewfinder, which the gx80 has. But somehow it does not feel as fun to me.

Sadly, there’s hardly anything here, here are some relevant communities:

!camping@sh.itjust.works
This is sadly the most “active” comm i guess, i liked posting there.
!outdoor@slrpnk.net
I wanted to say there’s hardly any original content there, but it seems like it picked up a little lately.
!outdoors@lemmy.ca
Not much going on.
!bicycle_touring@lemmy.world
Not hiking, but camping and outdoors.
!caminodesantiago@jlai.lu
Basically ran by a single person, but i guess there’s going to be some 70 more posts coming, haha.
!ultralight@lemmy.world
Dead. But it looks like somebody posted something three weeks ago, no reactions though :(

There’s some more or less dead hiking communities too. That’s all i got.

World, because ee does not want you to upload images.

Saw a flock of thirty around col de la cayolle, was so nice. Quite some vultures in france!

Very cool, and nice to see rousset in the snow too. Hope the bird is OK. And yeah I think they’re all griffon vultures around there. Love the vultures.

That’s interesting, I did not see it that way because I was there I guess, but it was maybe 14°C, so not really cold. And he certainly enjoyed being in the water, he kept just sitting in the dish for what felt like 5 minutes or so.

Downvotes bummed me out, not gonna lie. F.e. I was posting totally fine desire paths to the desire paths community, before it “blew up” because of some blahaj post, (now stuff gets quite a lot of upvotes there) but I always had people downvoting it.

I don’t know, just a bummer to have zero interaction but downvotes coming in (although upvotes still outnumbered down votes then too). Pretty clear that it was from people not interested in desire paths, still, if you post into the void it sucks the fun out of it kinda, makes you wonder what you’re even doing.

But less worse than some of the negativity snipers, who actually take time of their day to tell you that your post was not up to their standards but you never see them contribute anything positive to the niche.

I believe its catalogne in French.

Ah. Yeah i passed through St-Jean Pied-de-Ports last year on a bicycle trip and ran into a bunch of pilgrims, one of them told me that he started from le Puy doing that kind of group start, i did not know it was a thing then.

Did you start from the church then? I heard there is sometimes a mass in those starting point churches and then a whole lot of people start walking together.

Thanks for sharing!

Sorry i was throwing you under the bus there 😆 I had no idea that it was such a fauxpas to not do a meta post but ask people you trust in private if they’d be down to mod. I don’t get why that is, but that may be just me.

Having completely identical communities active at the same time on the same topic splinters conversation.

Then why are you now creating another community on the same topic? Because the other mod did not want to do a metapost but ask people in private if they’d be willing to mod?

Nice. Do you know what naturehike tent it is? They’re really good value imo.

I like drinking coffee in the tent. I use regular coffee and do pour over with those paper tea filters, works really well for me. I brought my aeropress a couple times, but found it not worth it, tea filters seemed good enough on a trip.

I also stopped bringing soap some years ago, especially since corona i found that wherever you’ll find a bathroom sink, you’ll find soap too. But yeah, no big deal to bring some either.

On warmer trips i now bring some Keen clearwater sandals as my only shoes. I will keep doing that, i think they’re really good. When it gets cold obviously with socks (also merino), gives extra style points too 😆

Aw man, i was about to go on the first weekender of the year today, but something came in the way. Hopefully next week.

Sweet. Sounds like snoopy is being a bit more obedient towards you then 😆

You made it seem like they were asking people in private, i don’t really see anything wrong with that. Your new fediverse community also only has one mod btw.

they told me they prefer to not have meta posts on that community

I hope you dragged them into one of your beloved drama communities for that. The nerve of some people to have a disagreement with you.

Yes, exactly. Thanks.

I was just saying that it really was the first time that i observed a wren when it showed up in my flower pot 😆 It disappeared for 5 seconds in the depths of the pot, then it appeared and for half a second at some random spot, haha. So it was kinda tricky to take a snap of it.

BTW, did my reply from my wren post reach you the other day? I posted it from pixelfed but it did not show up here. I deleted the pixelfed account now, but would be interesting to know if it maybe reached you as a dm or something.

When i first saw it, it was sitting on top of the feeder. I saw a tit bump against my balcony door from the corner of my eye a couple minutes earlier and wondered why that had happened. Then i realized the sparrowhawk was there. It was then observing the feeder for probably three hours from a tree. The photo was taken after its second failed attempt, so yeah, i guess you’re right, haha.

I did not see it in the following days, but the lil birds kinda stayed away from the feeder too for a while. Also have not seen the baby pigeons after their first flights, maybe it got lucky there.
