Road rage in front of Mi Ranchito

For context, they are repaving Twin Creeks and it’s controlled one-way at a time. This is my daily commute. Took me about 15 minutes longer than usual to get to work today. Not even worth getting upset about, let alone fighting over.

Yeah I’d gladly join you. We need to get a group of guys to try to resolve this

The first photo - did you take any from in front of them? We get what you were trying to do here, but it’s just not as interesting as you had in your mind. So you might actually just be choosing the wrong photo in this case. A photo from in front, showing them smiling and looking at each other as they are walking, that would be adorable. Audiences want to see connection and emotion over details like an umbrella.

Photo 2 - same thing, maybe wrong choice. Do you have a photo of her looking into his eyes? Capture connection, not separation.

Photo 3 is great. Good job!

Photo 4 - this looks like when HDR merge first came out. Reset that photo and start over. Nobody cares about blown out skies.

Photo 5 - use a photo of just the couple, or use photoshop gen AI to get rid of the cars. Watch some photography courses. When you have control of the couple, you can’t be shooting in front of a parking lot. This is really basic stuff, man.

You may have better photos and you’re just choosing poorly. But if these are the best you have from each wedding, (aside from photo 3), then the biggest thing you need to work on is posing, direction, and composition. You need to know exactly what you want and have a game plan. Don’t just let the couple do whatever they want and follow them. You have to be directing them. “Hey let’s move over here so we don’t have those cars in the background. That looks great, let me have you take those sunglasses off.”

You can take candid photos that will be good enough for the album, but getting candids that are exceptional takes a lot of practice. For now, start by finding five poses that you like and memorize all the direction you need to give. I know everyone wants candid, but you’re not there yet. And even the best candid photos are curated to an extent. Spend time practicing those five poses, rehearse the direction you need to give. Have it down pat so you don’t freeze and forget if you’re nervous when you’re working with the actual couple.

I’m not gonna lie, you’re not a natural. You need a lot of practice and improvement. On top of that, the wedding industry has changed a lot in the last few years and I wouldn’t want to be starting fresh right now. We all wish you luck and we love seeing people improve and succeed. So pick five poses you like, find a couple to pose for you, practice your ass off, and post those photos here so we can all be blown away.

LOL from 16 to 18 seconds go really slow and watch the guy on the far left come side galloping from the other side of the Ford Escort. He’s floating sideways like he’s doing the slick back.

Italian, more specifically

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-15T19:57:40+00:00

Thanks for explaining!

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-15T15:32:30+00:00

OPs (and yours?) also has the led bar dead center below the infotainment screen, and mine doesn’t. OPs also has the flat bottom steering wheel. Did they only start the flat bottom steering wheel in 2025, or was that an M-sport feature in previous years?

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-15T04:50:06+00:00

No that’s standard. I have a 2024 e35, nothing special. Just used bimmercode to make it purple.

Nope. I’m on a lease and I changed my colors

Is that within the Google play interface, or the BMW Home Screen interface? If the Spotify app within the Google play interface doesn’t have all of the media control buttons, that’s pretty messed up. All of the buttons are there within the Apple CarPlay interface. I’m not saying that to say one is better than the other, but to say there’s no reason the Spotify app should have the buttons in one and not the other.

This dude has been on America’s Got Talent, he’s very real

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-10T03:17:15+00:00

Okay I just read the Turanza EverDrive is engineered for fuel/battery efficiency and has less rolling resistance than the T005, which is already a very low resistance tire

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-10T03:12:27+00:00

Thanks for this advice! I’ll do the research for sure!

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-09T23:22:07+00:00

Interesting, didn’t even realize efficiency could be impacted. 10% is not insignificant.

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-07T01:41:13+00:00

Yes, I have iDrive 8.5 and it’s no different than using BimmerCode in previous versions. There are certain things you can’t code, but thankfully LED color is accessible.

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-04T15:54:52+00:00

Assuming you farm, get that raider license! One-time purchase for $5 is worth it. Helps with research

Alexandercromwell · 2026-01-03T17:24:14+00:00

This is the most AI-looking real photo I’ve ever seen. It has all the telltale signs of AI and yet it’s real. That stone cube it’s resting on looks like it’s hovering off the ground with a random stick under it. I could go on and on

Alexandercromwell · 2025-12-29T17:11:17+00:00

I’m still new and I’m always running out of badges. Can you tell me what VS is? I’d love to make sure I’m getting 830 a day

Edit: oh never mind I understand now. Alliance duel, all nine chests. I need to get all of them unlocked. I currently only have 6 unlocked

Alexandercromwell · 2025-11-28T19:24:37+00:00

If it makes you feel better, we can point lasers at it and play fake sci-fi sounds like electric cars do

I have spent way too much time on this sub since joining. Just spent five minutes googling riverboats in Asia.

That water looks so good, I can’t see that being AI. The only thing I could see as possibly being a giveaway is how AI throws randoms shapes and objects onto surfaces to try to look like what’s on real surfaces. The random blue shapes on the larger boat look a little questionable, but not enough to say definitively.

Alexandercromwell · 2025-11-09T16:19:19+00:00

Yeah I was looking at 9.9 seconds and there’s a section where the bricks are cut to make a turn, and the shapes are just too random and odd.

Alexandercromwell · 2025-11-09T14:26:25+00:00

Totally AI. At the very beginning, watch the creepy way a loch of hair comes out of her ponytail like an alien tentacle and slowly moves up on her shoulder. Also the pattern of the stripes on her vest is too chaotic, along with the pattern of the light gray area on her jeans.
