HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights June 07, 2025

I just wanted to go to the village for my cousin’s traditional wedding. A simple weekend getaway, abi? But from the moment I stepped out of my house, it felt like the devil and Murphy’s Law held hands and said, “Let’s follow this one”. it's more like something we call Village people here ...

Zara adjusted her sleeves for the tenth time, exhaled deeply, and whispered to herself, “What could possibly go wrong? ” It was her first day at her dream job a place at Cloud Mark creative agency, finally after going through so many interviews in different companies, she really hoped she wasn’t going to mess this up. Sun was still rising as she stepped into the sleek glass building downtown, nerves bundled tight beneath her crisp new blazer. ) The elevator chimed softly as it arrived on the twelfth floor ...

It started when we traveled with my dad once; on the road, he brought us so many plantain chips that we dreamt of it that entire period. On the way back, he did the same thing, surplus plantain chips, and we loved him for it. So we got to the house, and we were still thinking about plantain chips, and the huge bunches of plantain in the store just added more fuel to the fire; then my senior sister brought up an idea—you know what is better than buying plantain chips, making it yourself. That period was a very busy period for the adults because everyone was busy with a very big burial they were preparing for ...

Today I’m going to share my experience of my first ever iftar + dinner buffet at Ibn e Battuta, a restaurant that claims to be a "unique theme restaurant" that’s their slogan written under the name. But is it really true? That’s what I want to share with you all through this post. First, let me say that I’ve never had an iftar buffet before, mainly because Shabhai is completely against buffets ...

Hello Hivers! It me again. 👋 I wish everybody well! It's already the middle of the week and it seems class the opening of classes is fast approaching ...

Hi Hivers! Welcome to Part 3 — and yes, this is the last part — of our Discovering Bantayan Island adventure blog! 🏝 Are you looking for a budget friendly and family friendly resort? You should check out Northville Beach Resort! ...

When I stepped out on my deck to enjoy a little fresh air and sunshine a couple days ago I noticed one of the local deer across the street staring me down. While it is not unusual to have the deer in our compound of about 100 one acre lots be somewhat curious about us humans, this seemed to be a little different. As it kept watching me it began to move closer to the little fenced area I was sitting in. I quickly decided to go in and grab my camera and see if I could get a few shots of the unfolding event ...

Una introducción necesaria Una de las preguntas que más he escuchado en mi vida ha sido si existe la felicidad. Esta se ha convertido para muchos en una obsesión de su vida y han dejado este mundo sin encontrar la felicidad o, al menos, así lo han pensado. Para algunos la felicidad es sinónimo de riqueza material, para otros esta prioriza la riqueza espiritual. Para quien escribe, la felicidad no se aparta del criterio que tienen algunos y está diametralmente opuesta de las opiniones de otros ...

Hablemos de instintos. Dejémonos llevar por la dinámica de @damarysvibra; fluyamos sin barreras. Sentada en el parque, justo frente a mi casa, pienso en los primeros instintos que nos visitan en la vida. Y allí, en ese momento, recuerdo el instinto de jugar ...

Hola mis amigos de esta maravillosa comunidad. Errores. Esos errores que cometemos en nuestra vida y nos la cambian por completo. A veces para bien, como es mi caso y nunca me voy a arrepentir de haberlo hecho ...

Greetings friends Country kids play with less, but feel more. They don't pay attention to their phone notifications, but to what surrounds them: a chicken, a lizard, the mud and anything that catches their attention and with which they can have fun. Every time I visit them, I leave convinced that, although hard, life can be very beautiful in its purest state, so today's series is a tribute to these simple, strong and clean hearted people, with their shy laughter and their silences full of dignity. Los niños del campo juegan con menos, pero sienten más ...

Looking down at the city from above... The houses look like toy building blocks, cars like little beetles, and people are completely indistinguishable. Some photos have clear landmarks that make it easy to identify the city. But if I cropped out those landmarks and left just the blocks of buildings, would it be just as easy? ...

She hasn't been able to get the blue flowers in her garden. It has all colors, but the blue ones specifically are not available. It can be excess sun, or excess shade, the same thing happens with the water she water them with, the fertilizer she use to nourish their roots. Blue simply does not occur in her garden ...

Track cycling is a brutally honest sport. There’s no room for hesitation or distraction, every pedal stroke is a statement of intent, and every split second can define triumph or failure. To photograph it is not merely to press a shutter, but to learn to breathe with the athlete, to anticipate their acceleration, and to translate speed into stillness without losing the emotion of the moment. For this series, I worked primarily with two lenses: a Canon 70–300mm, perfect for panning shots from a distance, and a Prakticar 135mm f/2.8, a fully manual lens with an old soul, demanding patience, intuition, and deep respect for the craft ...

A few days ago, my husband and I went on a small vacation... You could say it was our honeymoon after a year of marriage. We visited several new places that we found out about through social media. One of the places we visited was the Mangunan fruit garden ...

This is a post where you can appreciate beautiful architecture but also street photography, the avenues that are on the Plaza del Congress in Buenos Aires and something about day to day in this área. In this last week I have had the opportunity to take some photos with an 18 250mm lens and I really liked it but also has its negative things, I think it is surely because of the type of lens, the model or the brand (Sigma). Compared to others the focus rate is not very fast. I have tried much better lenses with good focal distance that are incredible for street photography (70 300mm) to be a kind of "spy" 😂 But the ideal would really be fixed lenses and 50mm is my favorite :) This is one of my favorites on this set ...

Greetings friends, I was reading the feed a few days ago and saw information about the Phone Photography Contest. I was immediately interested, it seems to me that already in a few years there has been a real revolution in photography: for a significant number of subjects and situations the smartphone is even better suited than a DSLR. I use my smartphone most of the time for photography after all, it's what I carry in my pocket on a daily basis. That's why I immediately decided to take part in this contest, especially since this contest is organized by a community I'm subscribed to but haven't posted in for a long time ...

Good morning , It's still raining outside and i want to keep the camera dry today , so i had to bribe Jinx again for some caturday pictures . She is not so keen on the flash light but it does help to bring the details in her black fur to live on the photo. The lady on her throne , from where she can over see the neighbourhood since we are living in an appartment one floor up. And playing with one of her toys will always get you some attention But it remains a lady with temper , and before you know it ...
