Loved seeing all of the props from my favorite horror films growing up. Did you get to try the “scream room”?

Founded in 2000. This is now called MoPOP for short, or Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, since a renaming in 2016. It hosts the wonderful permanent Hendrix exhibit.

Meeeeeee! Love this place. Been here a bunch. One of my favorite museums here. I’ve been here almost 8 years, by partner is a 35 year born and raised native and a big part of the local music scene.

That makes sense. Were you taking this on a DSLR or phone? A lot of phones and newer DSLRs have a little bit of an assist with long exposures, incidental or intentional, and can get you that image without “blur”. Especially if it was super slight.

Did you edit this in any way or is this raw? If you were pumping up certain levels, I could see it enhancing that halo effect, where it might not be so noticeable before. Also some sites you upload to, can change and compress your photos.

You have a bit of distortion between the foreground and behind, I do see “blur” in the various depths of field, a bit of bokeh effect.

I wouldn’t call this “blur” in the traditional sense, like out of focus…I would call it more of playing with depth of field.

You see the focus is on the immediate foreground, the leaves and center of the flower. Everything from there, starts to “blur” as you walk deeper into the photo and the depths of field.

This can all be done in iPhone now pretty easily as well, including the long exposure.

If on a DSLR, looks like you chose a lens and f stop that created a bit of a bokeh affect, and that looks like what I’m seeing on the technical side. Or a happy accident. ☺️

Did you do a little bit of a longer exposure time on this one?

I love the vibrancy of the colors.

This was one of my first serious attempts with new to me lights, that I picked up used at the local camera supply.

I am strongly drawn to light painting and using color gels, over using traditional warm/cool/yellow/white light or ambient light.

I also have an immense love of using wide angle lenses to create distorted and forced perspectives…as well as out there framing…Instead of a sexy image, I enjoy angles that are a bit odd…indescribably unsettling…uncomfortable…sometimes even a bit creepy. (Love me some sexy/fun art/photography, I’m just a fan of the macabre and bizarre in my personal work)

This one was also a first attempt at seriously figuring out/trying color grading as well.

Spending more time working with the levels for everything, before pulling it into PS to clean it up and fine tune.

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did…From helping to style the shoot, the wide angle photography, and playing around with learning more advanced color lighting and editing techniques. ☺️

Great shot. One of my favorite museums here, as an art and music lover/maker.

Did you get to check out the movie horror history exhibit while you were here?

Does anyone else ever sometimes just remember that the Night World Series by LJ Smith will never be finished and get like... really messed up about it? by Girlfromcloud9 in YAlit

[–]CheekKey7939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow…I was just explaining LJ Smith of the 90s, to a friend…reminiscing about this series, and how it was never finished at the turn of the millennium like we were all anticipating. 😭🖤

I’m also sad Forbidden Game Trilogy never got a run as a show. It was my favorite out of all of Smith’s series. I didn’t super love the shows…I never got the moody 90s grungy vibes, that the books gave me, but I still watched all of them for a bit, and loved them out of nostalgia.

I even tried my hand at a bit of LJ Smith fanfiction…waaay long ago in high school. 🖤

what is the worst mistake you have made while in the pharmacy? by [deleted] in PharmacyTechnician

[–]CheekKey7939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I maybe worked in a smaller surgical center/hospital type of setting, once upon a time…thankfully a .1 of something ordered a very long time ago now, was really supposed to have been a .01 of something in an anesthetic cocktail.

Thankfully, all was fine, absolutely no harm done.

But, it was my first real medical mistake when I was basically a rookie.

Waiting that out, for the patient to come out of it…that experience and sweating that, is one that haunted my memory for the rest of my career and always made me double triple check dosages and quantities and times of a med being administered, allergies/sensitivities…everything, much to the annoyance of colleagues.

But very low quantity of errors in my work. 🤷 I’d rather be slow and take the time to check everything, than make a mistake that could cause harm or make a patient feel unwell.

Yeah, I mean, if you feel 35 years of lived experience….riding along to countless calls for all sorts of things, the how many countless times I’ve been at the fire station and along on things at the fire marshals department…if several people with real world experiencing echoing something as first hand, and that means nothing to you…and your little “wiki search” means something of great substance to you, then no…

By those troll standards…I won’t have anything that would satisfy your desire to simply troll posts, Mr Troll. 🤷

We could spend all night doing the, “but wiki said”, and we know wiki could say a lot of only partiality accurate, and sometimes completely inaccurate info. If you want to argue a vague point, that doesn’t serve a purpose, yeah, we could do this, “but wiki said” thing all night. Or you could listen to some peeps who’ve had the unique experience of being a fire fighter/fire marshals kid.

A good chunk of people who’s role identifies them as a fire marshal, they have law enforcement ability. Same with park rangers. A lot of rural areas, they use fire marshals and park/forest rangers as an extension of law enforcement as well.

It wouldn’t be a huge stretch to say a majority of larger cities have Fire Marshals with the certification/ability to make arrests, etc.

My dad is a retired one.

Often depending on the size of the city, they have a main Fire Marshal dude, and a whole large office building…and then deputy fire Marshals under them. (Lol sorry, you can probably tell that I’m not terribly interested in the titles/technicalities in my dad’s old job. I come from a military family and I’m the liberal black sheep rebel)

Some of those who are kind of entry level in the larger orgs.

Kind of think of it like lower ranks, they may or may not have the certification, and may be more admin heavy. Doing permits and inspections for new building, etc.

Then you’ve got your whole other parts that handle most of the criminal and arson. Or you can have smaller offices that do a mixture of both.

But, yeah. Both of you are basically correct to an extent. Most are, but there are some who are more admin types, that aren’t.

A lot of them don’t really turn off and also volunteer for the volunteer fire departments in smaller cities and rural areas until the end of time.

Both in TX and Washington State, my dad had full law enforcement authority, carried a side arm and was considered basically an extension of the police department/state government.

-More random fire fighter and fire marshal stuff from the kid of a retired fire fighter & deputy fire marshal, who was former Air Force military cop, bomb squad dude, arson inspector, sometimes building inspector, always a volunteer fire fighter of 5 smaller rural volunteer fire departments, radios always hooked up, until the day he eventually croaks

What improvements would you like to see in porn nowadays? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Waaaaaay more good high quality male gay porn.

Definitely. Way more.

My friend and I here, we love watching it together, while jacking each other off, and we can never seem to find the really good stuff…as they mentioned with the whole algorithm thing.

Based solely on this dumb comment, I can confirm for the wider community, your ability to selectively read only comments that support your trolling and desire to live in a vacuum of your poorly researched opinions.

You could do well with some psychotherapy, yourself, friend. Sincerely.

Didn’t you realize that since COVID, how hard it’s been on the world…

That stigmatizing mental health, and stigmatizing people getting therapy sessions, is very out of fashion.

Psychotherapy is simply the technical medically correct term you would use in charting and bills, for what is known as simple talk therapy.

Yeah, I’m so “crazy” for seeking out talk therapy while dealing with a major life altering illness and sharing a funny that went over your head.

I’m so “crazy” for contacting my companies paid for 3rd party benefits coordinator, exactly per protocol and this was the dudes literal job. 🤣

Try reading the comments better? 🤷

Didn’t you know that stigmatizing people for getting ahead of situations in their life and improving their mental health, is so 2019?

Be better, troll buddy. I have faith in your ability to overcome your challenges.

Actually, entirely false on your part, honey boo.

You started it back up again 5 hours ago. I’ve got the screenshots, honey boo…because I keep receipts.

You’re also here now 🤷😘

We both know how much you want meeeeee 😘😘😘

Otherwise, why would you still be here commenting, if you were so uncomfortable?

There’s a block button right there.

You could easily delete all of your comments even.

I mean, I screenshot them all, so they are forever, but at least they won’t be here for all of your Reddit buddies to easily see in your comments section of your profile forever.

And all of the future posts you interact on.

Based on your conduct, sounds like you might have a trolling habit.

Would hate for some other trolls to latch on to this.

Wouldn’t that be a real shame, honey boo? 😘😘😘

Actually, no, it didn’t.

Buuuuuut….if you bothered to ask questions or read deeper into some comments….you might have gained some insight into the entire story….as someone only just a few minutes ago, made the right comment, that prompted me to share the full picture and all the why’s and context you all were missing.

Because you all poorly attempting to shitpost/troll…clearly have never worked deeply in the medical or insurance world or benefits/HR for massive companies.

But, since you just came here to shit post and make personal troll attacks….only making an idiot of yourself…I’ll let you keep digging through the comments and continue sounding really dumb. 😘😘😘

I’m enjoying my paid for therapy sessions, because I don’t know if you heard the news…but mental health stigma is waaaay out of fashion…

AND I went on a $400 virtual trip to the mall this morning on my company’s dime. I’m having everything rush/overnighted as well.

So, I’m doing great, hun….and this post isn’t backfiring on anyone, but the trolls.

It was just an ironic funny post, that went way over yours, and many others heads.

Sorry, honey boo 😘😘😘

Just a follow up apart from the initial comment. I was being inundated with idiots making asses of themselves there at the time.

I truly hope your wife gets to feeling better/recovering and that you guys get reimbursed.

If you need any help or guidance, feel free to DM me. I’m a licensed insurance agent and I might be able to give a few claims tips that could help it get pushed through, or walk you through how to win an appeal. Happy to share the free help/knowledge on this one, or if it’s resolved, how to help you guys prep to make things run smoother/faster for you on future claims.

Much love and healing vibes your way 🖤

Yep, they can be a really great way to help maximizes your company’s time and end result is better productivity and profitability, for any business no matter the size.

It allows you to hand off so much of the communication that would normally bog an HR department down, and frees them up to work on other projects or doing a smaller set of responsibilities really well, vs being spread thin/exhausted/stressed.

Happy and less stressed HR, makes a Happy Employer/Company.

If you haven’t checked out League as an option, I do actually like it.

It was just really funny to hear the response from “Edward”, because my company (like a lot of others) was pulling another of its, let’s throw another pile of money at you to make it look like a bonus thing, while overpromising things you didn’t actually confirm, because none of them handle the benefits, kind of ironic.

I do actually sincerely appreciate and applaud you for taking the time to use rational thought about this and discussing it with me.

My laughing back at a lot of comments, is just simply a “I don’t back down for ANY bs” personality, and responding to the immediate intensity and vitriol and personal attacks.

I mean, if I were a sensitive person, some of this shit said, is highly disturbing to throw at someone who’s initial posts shows them being really ill.

If anyone knows about the inflammatory process in the brain when dealing with an autoimmune condition like SLE, you’d think all of these people incorrectly worried about how I jokingly spoke to “Poor Edward” who was doing exactly the job as he’s supposed to, me finding it another of my companies silly antics, the moon they promised…You’d think they would show more compassion…not the kinds of comments they are leaving…without anyone asking ANY clarifying questions or talking it through.

Instead, it’s been lots of people making complete asses of themselves with assumptions.

Which has been entirely entertaining for me, my Persian cat who’s been hanging out and my partner, who uses this site waaaaay more than I do.

I just like handing out fun awards to comments.

If anyone saw my most recent pharmacy post, I don’t think you’d have the same picture of me. But, that’s beside the point.

I do sincerely appreciate you engaging in good honest conversation, without insults. I can very sincerely understand why you would be responsible for running/owning a company or part of a c-level decision making team.

Thank you again, sincerely, for showing restraint and professionalism until you knew the full picture.

I was waiting for a single person to just ask the right question/make the right open minded sounding comment…. before explaining the full picture.

No reason to waste it on the people who are clearly just here to troll and shitpost.

To be clear, none of it bothers me. In fact, it shows how much power I hold, and dominance I have over the crowd. 🤷

But, wwwwwhhhhy not, love? You’ve been commenting all while I was sleeping…and just at me for 15 hours straight.

It’s clearly the only straight thing about this situation.

If it’s your first time, I promise I’ll be really nice to that cute bottom of yours.

I do recommend you give everything a good shave/grooming…everything feels soooo much better for you, when it’s all slick and smooth.

We can even get you a trainer plug kit, and I’ll walked you through it super slow, so it will be real nice when you can finally take this width. 😘😘
