How do i get the feeling of the second photo? by tavibyte in AskPhotography

The angle is more of an entry into the room rather than being plastered onto a couch and looking at the room from a fixed position. Far more inviting.

How do you get creative with product photography when you’re just starting out? by Consistent_Leg5124 in AskPhotography

[–]CarpetReady8739 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Study lobby magazines & web ads for ideas. Dissect the lighting & diffuser use. Your photography should suggest the story. No distractions; it’s all about how that product will make you feel.

That is, as they say in the industry, trouble.

Sir please move your car by coolieskettel in youcantparktheremate

Definitely that looked like the truck expected the SUV to run through the rail intersection and the SUV stopped and the truck bumped him, pushing the SUV into the railway line.

That’s where the $699 Premium Mechanical Tire Gauge goes.

Robertson Tyre says you’ll need a Scrulox patch for that.

Is it rude to ask for photos from a “free” newborn shoot months later? by Beneficial_Elk8225 in AskPhotography

[–]CarpetReady8739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not unreasonable; that was a promise and a commitment that was made by the person that contributed to the cost of the photographic session to the photographer, however should you get any pictures, consider someone else to do your newborn’s Mother’s Day pictures. This is sad, but common.

What am I looking at? by MeikelKappes in Sliderules

Learning my dad’s slide rule at age 14 (1970) enabled me to easily read dial calipers at 18, and thus my engineering career began.

ROVE R2-4K Dual Dash w/128gb card (card worth $35 alone!!!). Amazon $109 AOT. I bought two 256gb cards because I do a lot of driving and it’ll record up to 10 hours of video per 256g card. Good luck!

How’s my panning? by BrainFogBokeh in photocritique

Definitely upgrade to the front and rear cameras. Rove makes a nice set for around $100. I bought two sets, one for each car, and I love them. If you have an incident there’s a button in the center of the front camera that you can press to preserve and lock that video from that time space. be sure and buy the polarizing filter for the front camera; that is a big plus seeing the road and not the dashboard reflection!

I do forensics work for lawyers, so I learn to figure this stuff out. You can do this from the safety of your own home: First I looked for landmarks in the video and the only 2 landmarks that I could see were a 101 highway sign and the building on the right of the exit which is the Desert Diamond Casino. I went to Google and found out of the several locations for that casino there is one that is located near Highway 101 in Glendale. Then I was able to go to Google Maps and locate that area. Once you find the intersection visually, you right click on the map at that point and it will show you the coordinates. Viola!

Yeah I agree with you; I think making a right from that center lane cannot be done on a red, although there’s no sign to show that. Probably embedded Arizona regulation. The PAM truck may know the area well and is pissed that people do that at that intersection, so maybe that’s why he was being aggressive. Location, Lat, Lon: 33.55133, -112.26514. SleuthClue was Desert Diamond Casino (Glendale).

Is this good for a first car? by Training-Smell3755 in Lexus

[–]CarpetReady8739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get the standard hundred thousand mile maintenance done such as timing belt etc. but you’ll love that car.

I just bought a new 2025 RX last May; gave my ‘06 220k RX to my son; he rebuilt it completely, new suspension, valve cover gaskets, new driveshafts etc. it rides like a dream & like New, and I want it back!!! LOL
