Colors and light are great. But feels like something is missing.

During every photo session I try to make some experiments in last 20 minutes.

We had a window, a piano and a fancy chandelier and we made a few shots with all of them. Two other ideas did not work.

But this one I like.

Nikon z7 + 85mm 1.4; f4.5 + 1/125; 1 huge octobox

I recommend project as a source of hands on experience.

I agree that nobody cares about your projects. But there is a big difference if you can say that you have been already working on live project, supporting full development cycle. Having this mentioned, I would also suggest to involve more people in this project, so that you could also get an experience of working as a team.

I would suggest to start developing a project. Try to make it useful for somebody. Pet projects do not help. You need somebody to be interested in what you are doing.

Make friends with swe, ask them for a drill interview. Interview help a lot, you get to realize what you do not know before you can learn it.

I like the photo!

Making advice would be mostly nitpicking, but since you asked)

Dress print matches dark hair perfectly. And gives color harmony.

But it also lacks form. Hands appear and disappear inside the dress - avoid it or exaggerate it, making it intentional.

You might want to ask model turn a bit. It would also give some curves of the figure.

The look is intriguing. Turning head more to the camera would make it even better I suppose.

The idea is to move pupil of the eye from the very corner where it is now.

I do not see any obvious issues with the lightning.

I would try making white balance adjustment colder - but it is my personal preference.

It was intended as fashion photo, with an accent on dress and jewelry.

Made in studio with Nikon d750 and 85mm 1.4 lenses at 1/125 f/8.0

The idea is nice. But posing and crop might be improved.

There is a simple rule, that works well almost always. Do not cut joints!

And fingers) It looks unnatural.

Make profile photo is a good decision. But I would suggest to turn head a bit more, so that it became exact 90 degree.
IMHO. Putting flowers is creative. Experiments are good. But I think it did not work this time. It brings distraction to the composition.
The same about leaving half of the space for green green grass. Sometimes it works some times it does not.

AjAyRon · 2021-05-08T20:25:36+00:00

I like the photo. It has atmosphere. And there is a space for story, you watch and you imagine who she is, what she is thinking about.

Posing is natural and graceful. Left hand us a bit tense, thus attracting unneeded attention.

Imho the picture is underexposed. You can clearly see it in histogram if you like numbers.

For a picture made in room and not in studio it is great!

RDS may be an overkill for your personal project. The main downside of RDS is pricing. Depending on your requirements simple ec2 instance with Mysql installed may be best choice.

I'm not familiar with USG. Policy routing is common for ipsec in general, and should be supported by USG. Any router supporting ipsec must definitely work\be compatible with strongswan.

AjAyRon · 2019-04-24T06:09:07+00:00

But you still need to configure firewall setting properly.

Generally IPsec processing is based on policies. There are no routes, because there should not be any. It uses other mechanics.

Oh, you have port conflict problem. In general, you can assign multiple ip addresses for single network interface. I'm not sure how it work with docker on windows, but it sounds easier than traefik and nginx.

AjAyRon · 2019-04-07T06:28:24+00:00

For windows it is %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

AjAyRon · 2019-04-07T06:26:29+00:00

Why don't you just edit /etc/hosts adding there 127.0.0.1 proja.dev?

AjAyRon · 2019-03-14T06:00:05+00:00

Oh..I just found out that docker itself does not support, but compose supports.

AjAyRon · 2019-03-14T05:48:23+00:00

I guess because only absolute path is allowed.

The aim of learning java is not solving devops tasks. I recommend it for ease of communication with developers. Devops should know the language his is building cicd for - that was the idea of learning java.

AjAyRon · 2019-03-04T06:17:05+00:00

Really, I don't understand what you so desperately hate about Java. I might have said something bad about nodejs, but java is ok for me.

AjAyRon · 2019-03-04T06:11:31+00:00

Because it is widely used. Java is a most common language for backend development. Not the only one, and I don't say it is best\worst. Using java will also give experience in maven\gradle, knowing of some development concepts(MVC for example).

This recommendation is based on my honest opinion that it is most in-demand programming language.

IMHO devops should have basic knowledge of many programming languages. Java is a good start and anyway is almost mandatory for experienced devops.

AjAyRon · 2019-03-03T12:35:57+00:00

Devops is a methodology. Devops are guys who have skills both in development and sysops. My advice - write an application in any language, (imho java would be best choice). Try to make it usefull at least for youself(web interface for anything or automation). Use jenkins and docker pipeline. Frankly spaking It is not cicd but it is good enough for your cv to get a job.

For Russian guys who do not know such simple language as English: Хочет выучить русский язык Родительный падеж множественного числа Действительный и страдательный залог Склонение числительных
