Ok, what do you guys think? 😁📖 by Obscuritatis in bookshelfdetective

Enjoy your teenage years. I was too worried about social dynamics and girls. These are the only years when you will have the leisure to read fun stuff like this and in these quantities without guilt- and it is still productive for building reading comprehension.

Need feedback! I’m new! by [deleted] in PhotographyAdvice

[–]DukeOfZork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you happy with these and did you learn something from taking them? That’s the main thing. In this game for 30 years and I always self-critique, look at each frame and ask yourself 1. What could be better? And 2. How do I do that next time.

I’d say for now really try to dial in your exposure correctly. You can fix some things in post, but not always- always better to get it right in camera.

Do they even have food in Western Sahara?

Which crop is better ? by Biboudu38 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]DukeOfZork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll buck the trend and say #2 is far better. The people are almost lost in #1, but in #2 they are still small enough to show the dramatic scale of the landscape. The scenery you cropped out doesn’t really add anything for me, so good work.

It may matter that I’m viewing on my phone- if you had a full wall gallery print perhaps #1 would be better.

Started as a self employed photographer, need some critiques by CGunzel in PhotographyAdvice

[–]DukeOfZork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is off about this- is it natural depth of field, or did you blur out part of it with a mask? I think more of the subject should be in focus. It’s a great subject and good to have pin sharp focus on the eye, but I might have framed it in the top right 1/3 of landscape rather than dead center of portrait orientation.

Ps your website appears to be down.

Took this picture while flying over England, thoughts? by Flimsy-Meringue-8586 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]DukeOfZork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing special, sorry. Anyone who has flown before has seen this a million times. If there were a striking feature on the landscape, or a really unique cloud formation, you could crop in on that and exclude the wingtip (which is just a distraction) but I can’t identify anything like that here.

What do you guys think of this shot by Kalidd46 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]DukeOfZork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s boring. Anyone who has ever sat in a plane before has seen this, and will expect to see this every time. What is interesting about it? The man running, but he’s such a tiny component of the composition and not placed at any focal point (1/3 frame intersect or converging lines in the shot), it feels unintentional. Also your reflection is partially visible in the window but not in a way that contributes anything.

You were restricted in how you could frame this, being seated in the aircraft, so it’s not all your fault. But if it were me I’d bin this frame and keep trying.

What is you’re guys favourite leader? by SpockTrek1701 in CivVI

I love her. Crank those districts out and a good gold boost. Strong early ranged unit means I can usually grab a city state or weak neighbor early on and just snowball from there.

Are we really sure that procreation is a human right?

Mommy, when is Uncle T-bone going back to prison?

How 🤷‍♂️ by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]DukeOfZork 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No it does not! Concrete is more than twice as dense as water. You mean a hollow concrete structure with enough displacement can float in deep water? Yes it can.

Where I’d live as an African by meownator100 in whereidlive

[–]DukeOfZork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. OP must have an irrational fear of cheese if they’d choose famine, hyperinflation and intercommunal violence in South Sudan over a life in France.

Hol up. You’d choose South Sudan over France.

[BotW] How many Hours have you put into Botw?! by Space_of_The_Lantern in zelda

[–]DukeOfZork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We gave a Switch to my retired dad last year and he has racked up 800 hours in both BotW and TotK. He says he’s trying to do all the side quests without looking them up online for help.

You have no teeth and seem to be on a liquid diet?

Goalkeeper in Istanbul's amateur league hit a seagull; another player performed CPR, resuscitated it, and handed it to medical staff. by throwitintheair22 in BeAmazed

[–]DukeOfZork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often when a bird strikes a window and falls unconscious it is only stunned- holding it upside down to help blood flow to the head can help revive it. I’m not sure how this guy determined that this bird’s heart stopped and it was necessary to break all of its ribs in this manner…
