What a fucking cop out of a comic.
In what way?
Here’s a tip. If you’re in a group, record people reacting to the fireworks, not the fireworks themselves.
Our Obsession with Taking Photos May Alter How We Remember Things
Taking photos of an event rather than being immersed in it has been shown to lead to poorer recall of the actual event—we get distracted in the process.Get yourselves married man its the best. Your wife takes all the photos and documents everything obsessively. I can enjoy the moment safe in the knowledge that shes on the case.
I noticed that even though I don’t take a ton of photos, I never seemed to look at the ones I took. Ended up just using my whole camera photo album as the standby screen on my TV so it just shows random photos and I finally got some use out of them. It’s been oddly fun to see random photos taken like 15 years ago pop up that I completely forgot about.
Same, iphone has a setting to rotate the lock screen image with photos from your library, that’s the only time I’ve actually looked at any of the pics I’ve taken
This is why I have a bunch of Nest Hubs. Right now they’re cycling through pet photos and it’s nice to look at them randomly and be like “oh yeah I remember that”.
The hubs are also nice sometimes for googling things and having my data stolen I guess, but mostly the photos
I mean, he’s recording them at professional quality…
Meanwhile my firework photo:
(It was hours before so not much to see even with a telescope, but still)it’s more to flex on friends and post / share it
If you don’t share it on social media, did it really happen?
I agreeeeee but i have taken photos of fireworks because they make nice edited pics. Lots of colour, light and abstract shapes to work with.
If you do, please tag what show you saw.
I love finding videos of shows either my friends or I have put on. Pyros do search for their shows.
Last time I did that, the family was on the river in our little 10’ boat and the downtown fireworks were very nearly overhead. Wild! The boat was full of shell fragments! This year they moved us back. :(
As someone who does it professionally. There is a very real risk being that close. We have shells that go up and don’t explode, we have hang fires where it doesn’t launch when it’s supposed to and then does when the smoldering paper finally touches the lift, and we have some that don’t reach apogee and explode at the wrong height.
It’s a thrill, I know. I love watching them launch and being that close. But it comes with some dangers.
