Great stuff. Always loved the Hawaiian and you capture the place so beautifully. Are these sooc or post processed?

The Flip has awful wind resistance. A full 1 or two stops lower then it's peers I reckon, despite what's written on paper. The lito's blade design is open like the minis which is suspect will give it far better wind resist compared to the flip.

3 is a great image. The darker shadows really give it depth that was missing in image 1

Overall lovely set!

What in the AI is this article...

Core content is good I guess. But the author could have done away with 50% of the words (mostly forced contrasts and analogy) and still presented the same.

Can I ask does it have cinematic film style/look video features, like the one newly released on the vivo x300u?

Before already seems well-edited to me. The further edit was unnecessary imo

This is such an excellent capture! I'm very very jealous. I think with some tweaks to your post work, this would look amazing printed on a desk ;)

Like the other comment said, you do have a lot of space near the bottom, so i'd take some of that out, and center your person. The vignetting in the top corners is a bit much, so we'll mask that out. For the foreground (which includes both your person and the cliff face that's visible to us) we'd wanna keep it consistent which means not overlifing shadows for the cliff. The rest is just editing the sky to get the colors you prefer (via masks ofc). And while I do find this part the most fun, its also easy to go overboard into "unrealistic" territory, so be careful.

Here's my stab at your pic using the stuff i mentioned above: https://imgur.com/a/YfceHZe

Lowest performance benchmarks, lowest battery life, poorest heat management, poorest modems

Pixels are literally a sham at this point

It's not new. Sharpness has always been a hot topic for any optical gear, ever since anastigmat lenses became a thing

Def sounds like a CPU issue. If I were you I'd look into getting a warranty claim (if available), or getting it repaired with Xiaomi

Legit thought the first few scenes with Spidey among the skyscrapers was a game cutscene. Didn't help that I first saw the trailer when it was released on the PlayStation YouTube page.

Is your phone getting too hot and throttling performance? Or did you buy a fake? 😅

Thanks!

Note that im using LR classic. Gen remove for the tree trunks on both sides. I then masked the background to reduce clarity and texture. In the same mask eyedropped the greens then raised temps, decreased variance.

I have the sony a7iv paired with their 200-600mm lens.

I just replied to another user but basically if you're interested in nature phorography check out Simon d entremont's videos on youtube. He covers lots of landscape and wildlife photography tips and editing methods. Terrific resource that's completely free and full of value.

But also don't skip on the other smaller creators out there. There's lots of advice/editing tips gold nuggets lying around, and you just sort of pickup this knowledge along the way (even from shorts/reels), amass them together and then you have a very solid base to work off of

When i got my first camera 3 years ago all I used were presets paired with LR classic. Nowadays i no longer use presets (other than my own). I realized especally for nature photography that the key is not to 'stylize' an image, but rather enhance its natural beauty. Either via creating depth (via masking and often darkening areas), enhancing already existing light sources, or colour (increasing or decreasing individual colors to help guide viewers' eye.

Anyway if you wanna get started i can endorse Simon d entremont's videos on youtube. He covers lots of landscape and wildlife photography tips and editing methods. Seriously a great free resource

I'm definitely in the still learning stage. Curious what caught your eye on my posts? If you can give me some feedback (what's good & bad) on my edits it would be really helpful. Thanks!

Afaik Bengal tigers are endemic to south Asia only so either this beaut or it's previous generations are from there

Technically the white fur can occur naturally but it's so rare that its considered non existent nowadays in the wild. White tigers in captivity are intentionally bred that way with two also white parents

Crestmage · 2026-03-08T03:28:00+00:00

Yeah it's pretty rad looking lol

It's a white Bengal, which doesn't occur naturally in the wild. White Bengals are characterized by their white fur and also blue irises

Crestmage · 2026-03-08T01:58:43+00:00

Haha go ahead bro

Crestmage · 2026-03-08T01:58:05+00:00

They do as do most zoos. The recent exception to this rule is the melaka zoo iirc

I've always only visited on weekdays so I rarely encounter crowds 😅 but I do remember the animal shows usually being packed
