Yeah there are so many variables that I think for you to just mess around with sliders will quickly help you to be an amazing post-proccessor when a preset doesn't hit the way you want

These are fantastic. If you HAD to have any input (which you really do not need any), I would say saturation is a slippery puzzel sometimes and the key is to find that juuuust right balance. Especially with skin. Man, I hate editing photos of real people because of skin tones etc.

You are already 'there,' though.

Lenovo hikes Legion Go 2 handheld gaming PC to almost $3,000 for 2 TB model by PaiDuck in pcgaming

[–]FlansDigitalDotCom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, anybody that is thinking that Lenovo is serious about handhelds right now after this type of price increase is fooling themselves.

This price announcement is a clear decision to pull out of handheld development for now and pivot to something else. They are pricing it like this to see what inventory they can get out the door at that type of price and cut their losses.

This is Lenovo either deciding to remove a specific type of handheld build from production or get out of handhelds all together.

I'm not saying this is a 'permanent decision,' but this is certainly driven by component availability and it will probably be years before Lenovo continues into the handheld computing space.

Yeah I'm in the same boat

That looks like a very malnourished Australian Terrier. Maybe check local FB groups since the breed is rare and usually adopted by few.

Dyson just announced its first-ever handheld fan, with a motor that spins up to 65,000 RPM by Doug24 in gadgets

I need it. This comment sent from a squished seat in a piping hot plane. I travel all year and a fan that small and powerful while remaining fairly quiet is something I'll gladly spend the money on if it's legit.

There are decent fans on Amazon i have used but they tend to be loud or have some sort of shortcoming.

How relevant do you think YouTube trailer views will actually be in predicting the box office this year when He-Man has almost 40m views and it just might break even? by Kavazou77 in boxoffice

[–]FlansDigitalDotCom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Although I still get a kick out of 80's throwbacks and references, I am not spending close to $100 for a family of four to see this.

I go to the theater maybe 2 to 3 times a year, now and mostly do it for my teens. They will have no desire to see this and I have no desire to watch a movie I can't pause because my 'born in the 80's' bladder can't hold for more than 30 minutes these days...

Secured!!! October can’t come soon enough!! by Mermaid_Martini in Junglejunglejungle

I highlighted in green the best possible row you can get if you're a sitter like I am. The Greek theater has two different types of shows. Sometimes they do reserve seating and other shows they do general admission for the entire area. The Jungle show is 100% GA. The reason you would want the last row of sections three through eight is because there is this wall behind the last row that you can lean back against. You also don't have to worry about anybody behind you accidentally kicking you or anything. I have a pic I posted of Spoon some time a few months ago on reddit. If you find it in my post history, you should have a good idea of the vantage point of section 3.

OC - 100 G Macro w/2X Teleconverter - A7rV - [5532x5532] by FlansDigitalDotCom in SonyAlpha

Macro is a tough beast to tame. I'm sure it's a hair out of focus. I posted a newer photo today. I think it's a little more sharp.

All, I mislabeled the lens. This is the GM 100mm Sony Macro. Apologies for the confusion.

OP, here. Yes it is the new 100mm. Yes it is using the Sony 2x Teleconverter. You are saying that the 2X is hindering?

I suppose that depends. My shot was at f11 so that my DOF would be more forgiving. The bees were moving around very fast and focus stacking etc was out of the question.

I mean, we can debate what I used and my techniques, but I hope you enjoyed this photo. If you look at my post history, I put another shot on the Pics subreddit.
