What would be a good camera body and lens(es?) for a beginner?
I want to move up from my phone and have something that gives me more control over depth of field and don’t degrade the quality when I zoom. Bonus if it can handle video but not must.
Mostly take photos of architecture and street scenes (so not many close range photos)
Not sure where to start looking do any help is appreciated

@npub12jg…0gha what do you mean? Isn’t diverse languages an emergent property of people trying to explain things to each other in separate communities?

North America is wierd when it comes to transportation. It’s important to remember when reading things about #urbanism and #mobility that American baselines about how things work are not the same as yours.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 yes, there is a difference in how projects work and the role of government in the anglosphere and the rest of the world.
I follow this blog on public transport and I’ve been trying to find a post that goes into detail but this might do as an intro: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2023/08/27/britain-remades-report-on-construction-costs/
In the anglosphere government buys the design and implementation of the infrastructure but in other countries the government

@npub1tel…4v4v what strikes me is that there is no idea of justice here. There is no idea of “let’s investigate and if things turn out to be out of order actions will be taken but otherwise things will be fine”
It’s individuals who are personally opposed to each other.
These people have no trust in lawful due process
