Can you show us a cool photo you took recently? We wanna see what you found cool enough to take a photo of. We usually take photos of things we’re interested in or are unique enough to put into a reference folder we have for art and well we’re wondering if anyone had any good photos to share! :3

Thank you!

Also the photo on this post we put up is a train we saw in the Train museum here in Spain! We had so much fun and think this would have to be the one of the more impressive ones (tho not our favorite haha)

Edit: Hoi peeps!! We love all these photos and this post got WAY more popular than expected haha! We’re wanting to reply to everyone, but it’s gonna take some time - so we’re not ignoring you and if we accidentally miss you aaaaa we’re sorry (there’s just so much @w@)! Thank you again everyone, this has been lovely seeing all these cool af pics!! :D

Had to try the capabilities of a zoom lens :)

Edit: Haha, even the moon is upside down when seen from Australia... I mean of course, I just never thought of that

My shitty brain is trying to figure out what it would like like at the equator. Would it be flipped 90 degrees? If so, cw or ccw?

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

It would depend on if you were looking at it from the rising side or the setting side. It would be turned 90° and then would flip 180° as it went overhead from your perspective.

I mean they are literally upside down it's just upside down is upside down too making it right side up again.

EDIT:

Take that flat earthers.
