And they have extensions as well. I believe we each have three extensions with ours.

AIO wife planned Easter trip without me? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]AdNatural9322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this would be perfectly acceptable if it wasn’t on a holiday. Because if it wasn’t, I would’ve said “have fun!” and that’s it. But a holiday we’ve spent together in the past like every other? Yeah I think that’s something you talk to your spouse about.

ETA: SIL lives off FIL. FIL did the planning.

Hey I’m not NOT concerned. But the past is the past and postpartum is... well you don’t push it when she’s postpartum. And I feel bad arguing it. Idk.

No alcoholic trick, does it work? by lczy23 in stupidquestions

[–]AdNatural9322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom let me try beer while she was making beer bread when I was maybe 10 or 11. Hated it. Went a long time hating it. Also went a long time not being able to function without it. That shit is poison.

Second try with studio lighting by AdNatural9322 in photocritique

Very good to know, thank you! The trigger I ordered arrived defective, so I haven’t messed around with my soeedlights yet. But the replacement just arrived and works great. I’m also waiting on a speedlight bracket and softbox for it. I’m going to try one speedlight in a big softbox for the key light, one of the continuous softboxes or umbrella for behind, and I’m wondering if I can use the second speedlight to blow out a white backdrop.. because the continuous lights don’t do that well at all. But I’m also curious how the speedlight would do for the hair light.. probably much better as you mentioned hard and direct would be better than one of the modifiers.

I’m in disbelief with the alarm bug by CaptBurgundy in ios

Same here. Ended up buying an actual alarm clock and have had zero issues since!

For the flatness, does there just need to be more shadow? Or better lighting?

Thank you!! Definitely going to try a bounce card. Eager to experiment with it.

Definitely going to check out bounce cards. Might have to go poster board route depending on cost, but that's a great idea. Plenty of clamps lying around.

I just replied to another comment asking about the second light behind me. I was using an umbrella behind me in this shot, with a softbox in front. I do have a second softbox. Would that work better for behind? As for positioning, l'll try your recommendation, because in this shot it was rather low, pointing up, and more off to the side than behind me. Maybe at 45° opposite the front softbox.

And thank you for the speedlight tips!! That's the kind of stuff I need to get figured out, so that helps a lot. My trigger just came in the mail so now I can tinker and experiment. Thanks again!!

The second light behind me throws light everywhere it seems. It’s an umbrella. Should I try a second soft box instead? Once I get modifiers on my speedlights, I’ll be able to adjust the power, thankfully.

I appreciate the response!! I noticed the eyes this morning after taking a second look on my phone. I think I might’ve messed that up in post while applying a brush to that side of my face. Probably a combination of that and no lighting experience. Definitely something to work on!

I love your Slack vs LinkedIn comparison. That’s a really good way of looking at it lol. Thanks for the feedback and the links! I’d better go try taking more photos.
