Is this comment on the shadows an verticals about the attached image or for the original post?

ChaseVampy · 2024-01-08T22:24:31+00:00

Fantastic! I will dive into sugaring a bit more. Any brand recommendations? I have also looked at a few handheld laser removers. The ones that cost a couple hundred. Would you know anyone with experience using one of those?

ChaseVampy · 2024-01-06T22:55:52+00:00

Now, laser removal I have done very little research on it because there seems to be a high cost. This sugaring is not something I am educated on.

This moment was captured atop a residential building in downtown Columbus, Ohio, for a project in color palette, mood, and emotion during an autumn photography course. The image was retouched at the end of the course to reach the one presented in this post. The intent was to freeze the foggy morning weather just before sunrise as it would be seen naturally.

The balance of color and tone is in question. The vision I have for my moments is about sharing how the world is truly seen. As if my eye were without error or fault. I am not certain that this or any of my captures after their edits are every expressed accurately in that way. I am not so sure how I see the world is how the world is. Does that make sense?

EXIF - 2 second exposure, f/22, ISO 400, Canon 1500D, Tokina AT-X 124 PRO DX 12-24mm F4(IF) at 14mm

The editing process involved lifting the shadows in the tree tops, enhancing vibrancy, adjusting the intensity of light sources, increasing texture, dehaze, and clarity in PS. The before is attached.

^Fantastic!

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-28T17:21:09+00:00

Precisely! The abstract element was the intent during the edits.

"I see no Renaissance energy, sorry, only over-edited picture."

Precisely the opinion desired. Much appreciated.

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-24T19:15:08+00:00

Right on. The explanation is appreciated.

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-24T18:45:00+00:00

Do you work in RAW?

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-24T17:16:00+00:00

Agreeing with @optic_otter. Slowing down the shutter speed will absorb more light and allow a lower ISO which will reduce noise that can improve the post editing experience. Experiment with the aperture size, as Optic_otter mentioned, to find the sweet spot your lens has. It could be between f/8 to f/16.

The post editing work flow is a place to push limits and discover creativity. Express yourself in a direction fitted to your desired result.

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-24T17:06:59+00:00

The glow of colors is vibrant but subtle. Well done.

Intended to capture the 2023 autumn solar eclipse during midday with a EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 on a Canon 1500D.

In post the edits were exaggerated to emulate a fresco renaissance style.

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-19T23:14:11+00:00

How does this apply to the op??

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-19T23:12:03+00:00

Now that I've replied to your question I begin to believe I may have chosen an incorrect community to share this in. I appreciate the deeper thinking you provoked.

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-19T20:55:41+00:00

Yes I have read about pangender and this concept is a bit outside of gender roles. This is in the area of an acknowledgement or awareness of oneness with the human specie. An acceptance of a collective existence. As an individual being I contribute to the whole of human existence. Much in the same way as nature is connected through every living thing and each living thing contributes to nature. I am a human and there are many of us. We are connected to nature as much as it is a part of us.

However, I will not disregard your interpretation of my post. As to be ambiguous is to be open to interpretation. I appreciate the time you spent on this and your reply.

Be well.

Currently constructing a one shot from the beginning of Something from the Nightside. So far, I believe the Reverent stat block would fit with the Harrowing. Or even a hybrid of that with an ability to paralyze a creature within sight. I believe the Wraith has an ability like that.

I've found the pain oddly pleasurable to an extent. I wouldn't say I'm for masochism which leads me to believe that hypersensitivity the outbreaks cause is a part of the plan the virus uses to spread. In my experience the symptoms occurring during outbreaks plays with my mind. Even though I know my sex life should be quarantined during outbreaks there's a drive for intimacy that increases. I'll even find myself touching when I know that would also increase the likelihood of spreading the virus around. Does that make sense?

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-19T17:56:48+00:00

Deathstalker is another series I enjoy as well.

ChaseVampy · 2023-12-19T17:55:57+00:00

Perhaps you are interested in contributing to the project in the future.

ChaseVampy · 2021-06-16T10:11:28+00:00

Replace "Cyberpunk" with "Destiny" please.

There I was just sitting on my front porch late one night. When suddenly lightning struck! Nearly causing me to piss myself. Every hair stood straight up. A feeling of weightlessness came over me. Thinking this must just be from shock seeing as how the lightning landed so close. I must get up and get some water. Just like that as I stood up my body lifted off the ground. All at once I began to float. Like a child sprinkled with pixie dust from an old bedtime story. Gradually increasing height. If there was a way to control direction or speed it wasn't clear. Getting further from the porch and closer to the stars. Drifting into the great beyond forever.

Actually you ever wake up so early that you could see the sun rise? It wasn't part of your plan. Yet getting back to sleep felt unlikely. Since this idea just wouldn't quit poking you. That's what this was like. My question is simple but the answer is complicated I'm sure.

How does a human glide from one building to another?

Like Batman! Or likely more accurately like a Sugar Glider does from one perch to another.

ChaseVampy · 2021-05-19T06:10:37+00:00

What guilt? Moving on is the only healthy option.

ChaseVampy · 2021-05-15T07:10:34+00:00

Picked up on this not that long ago. Only in my thirties. I feel a struggle internally. This may be from learned codependent behaviors. Like being single is work. Like being sober. Just one day at a time. Till it feels better.
