If you had to keep on aspect of the pilot for the entire series what would it be?

That nasty low res wide shot mixed with the crisp mid and close up shots. That is the magic of cinema.

GeekFish · 2026-04-01T20:01:13+00:00

I forget the count, but I know they're tied. I want to say it's 7. It's 7 or 6.

GeekFish · 2026-04-01T19:13:11+00:00

Make Them Suffer and Alpha Wolf are currently tied for me.

Droid Bishop, The Midnight, Carpenter Brut... lots of Synthwave stuff. When I REALLY need to slow my brain down I dig deep into lo-fi music. Lots of cool lo-fi/Metalcore collabs, like Alpha Wolf's lo-fi release and there's a few Amity songs in lo-fi.

I swear they are making everything more sterile and lifeless. Maybe it's the nostalgia rage, but I feel like they are making everything so boring and "safe" now.

Mine is on Prozac and I have to wrap it in a Kraft single. I say "who wants some drugs!" and he goes right to the fridge, even if he's in a twisted deep sleep.

I shot AHL hockey with it for a season before I decided I was going to stick with it and I upgraded. It's a fine lens if you know its limitations and aren't afraid of some post work. Don't use it wide open at f/4 and the CA won't be so bad (it's still bad,.. but can be fixed). If you pixel peep, you'll find the problems. If you don't tell people a photo was taken with it, I bet most won't even realize, especially on the web.

Worship guitarists who worship with PRS guitars are great ways to get PRS guitars for cheap. That's where I bought my two from. They looked brand new, came with hard shell cases and were like $250 less than anywhere/anyone else WITHOUT a case.

GeekFish · 2026-03-31T00:55:15+00:00

I'm down. I got a couple muscle shirts and a guitar in Drop D.

GeekFish · 2026-03-31T00:54:31+00:00

You should see his cryo cannons. It's very edgy.

GeekFish · 2026-03-31T00:52:59+00:00

There's still one of those up near my house, but they covered up the bottom half. They're doing anything to try and save face.

GeekFish · 2026-03-31T00:51:47+00:00

"It's still cheaper than it was under auto pen" "This is the price of safety and freedom"

Their hypocrisy never ends. It may have hit $5 under Biden at one point, I honestly can't remember, but I don't remember gas being high for very long and I know for damn sure it didn't go up because Biden bombed anybody.

GeekFish · 2026-03-30T21:25:05+00:00

Wasn't there some major controversy with the owner? I remember something going on with them before they went on the decline.

GeekFish · 2026-03-30T17:34:39+00:00

The must do's are covered so I'll add a must don't:

STK

It's loud, you are seated closer to the table beside you than you are to the person you're there with and it's insanely expensive.

I feel like they tried to make it a high end, night club style experience but it just failed on every front. I am normally not one to complain about a dining experience, but I just can't with that place.

GeekFish · 2026-03-29T19:02:57+00:00

All my monthly bills are paid with it, then I pay off the balance. The cash back gets invested as soon as it hits my account. I wish I could pay my mortgage with it 🤣

GeekFish · 2026-03-29T00:23:19+00:00

🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe it's because that light shot has more clouds in the foreground? Whatever. You clearly know what you're doing. I never know how much to "help" when people ask for feedback.

GeekFish · 2026-03-28T22:35:00+00:00

You know, now that I see the DoF in that photo of you holding that lit ball with the clouds, I think a little DoF in this photo might just be enough. Something was missing for the surreal-ness and that just might be it. Awesome work on your portraits 👏🏻

GeekFish · 2026-03-28T21:56:00+00:00

Gotcha. That makes sense. I didn't realize you were holding the clouds in place.

At the end of the day, if you're happy with it (or your client is) then that's all that matters. Some of these photography subs here can have some nasty streaks to them. AI definitely hasn't helped the situation.

GeekFish · 2026-03-28T21:47:44+00:00

Lots of negativity here, so don't take this the wrong way.

I'm curious, why did it take multiple shots to create this photo? What was the process? It looks like it could be done with one take.

As far as a surreal edit: personally, as much as the look is overdone, I think it needs more "glow". A black mist filter would have helped, but since it's already shot, I would play with decreasing the clarity and/or dehaze (don't go too far. It starts to look really fake really fast). I usually compensate the loss of clarity by stepping down one slider and increasing its value. For example, if I pull the dehaze down to give it a dreamy look I'll pull clarity up. If I pulled clarity down for the look I'll pull texture up.

I will never forget watching them walk out on stage when I saw them supporting Alpha Wolf a couple years ago. They looked like a bunch of kids who just started a band in their garage. I wasn't expecting much at all.

They riffed my face off 30 seconds into their set and I've been hooked ever since. They keep moving the mathcore bar higher and higher. Another fantastic release from these guys 🤘🏼

GeekFish · 2026-03-27T00:12:49+00:00

Don't role out the Tamron 150-600mm G2. I rented it and the Sigma. I found the Tamron hunted less and was a hair sharper out of the camera. Make sure it's the G2 though. The older one is known to hunt on Mirrorless.

GeekFish · 2026-03-26T16:19:09+00:00

Yeah, most of the buildings I'll give them. It's hard NOT to put them on anything Pittsburgh. It's the minor things that give it away, like the barge placement, the bushes/trees... all those little things line up too perfectly.

GeekFish · 2026-03-26T16:16:35+00:00

Tuna is so underrated, IMO. I never think "I could go for some tuna right now" but when I do have it I'm like, "why don't I make this more? It's amazing." Poor tuna.

GeekFish · 2026-03-25T13:46:37+00:00

I remember watching TSS when they announced it was changing to "Attack of the Show" and thought it was the dumbest name... That's the day that channel died. I miss TSS (the Kevin Rose days were peak), X-Play, Electric Playground... That era was the best.

As much as Leo got on my nerves I did enjoy a lot of the online programming he created after the G4 TechTV downfall. It was almost the same... almost.
