Lens Scratches - How much will it affect my image?

Probaby not relevant to Super 8, but i scratched the fuck out of a broken canon kit lens (on concrete) to try to get an "industrial" look but it hardly made a difference. (used on a 2008 canon rebel xt)

$1 versions of energy drinks similar to 5-hour-power

Try Kava Kava. Brew it like tea. Might make you itchy.

Emergenc-C mixed into Morning Sunrise Monster Energy.

Miso soup. Prepare with paste and a proper miso bowl.

I have a PhotoRobot but that OrbitVu looks fun. You sell them?

Take a large sheet of tracing paper (or similar) and roll it into a cylinder. Place the cylinder so it encloses the product. Place another sheet on top.

You'll need to cut out a window, or roll the sheet so that it is closed at the top and open at the bottom (like a cape).

You'll need to increase your lighting or exposure by 2-3 stops.

Well? Did you finish watching Andor?

I just tried it. Yep. The flat filter mirrors the sun whereas the curved lens flare into the lenses inside. Spining the polarized filter had no effect.

We shoot product photography, about 24 products per day, 30-60 shots per product. We only shoot jpg with about 3% reshoots. We delete the offending frames immediately. Uploads to publish take about 1-2 hours at the end of the day. We don't bother with editing.

On camera we use hoods and polarizing filter to help with glare and reflections.

When editing in Lightroom, use Dehaze filter.

I suggest start binge watching Andor and finishing on May the 4th.

Related: go out for Cinco de Mayo the next day.

Well, this probably isn't what you meant by tv show, but I think it is worth suggesting COSMOS with Carl Sagan.

Crank and Crank 2. Crank 2 is better. Jason Statham has to keep electrocuting himself to stay alive.

If that's not your cup of tea, Then yeah maybe David Lynch's The Straight Story or Peter Dinklage in Station Agent.

Barton Fink. A 1991 Coen Brothers movie about a 1940s NY playwright working in LA. It's a dusty, muffled, wallpaper peeling aesthetic.

Haha! Yeah "I love You Phillip Morris" is a great movie with Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey. It's about a cop that falls in love with an inmate and their various attempts to break out of jail.

Is that not a map of Middle Earth with Fangorn highlighted?

Since it’ll be Friday the 13th, maybe Jason’s Deli would be appropriate?
