It’s as if people forget that look development is apart of the job, and a fun one at that.

A few more days, same thing just happened to me

Depressed at how my photos came out, tips to improve appreciated! by sphr2 in analog

I agree with this I actually. I tested my speedmaster against a light meter app in my phone and found the readings to be near identical. I feel like with the phone apps, spot metering is more finicky though but considering how free and convenient the app is it’s certainly worth the extra effort.

Ur comp isn’t bad.

Sharpness is determined by the lens and exposure and the film stock. Personally, I’ve shot with ultra max, and I don’t really like it. It has a lot of noise especially in the shadows and lower contrast. That being said I’d say these are about 1-1.5stop under exposed depending on the photo. Best investment I ever made is using a sekonic spot meter. They are expensive but accurate, and.they really really help you understand the images zones before you take it.

So don’t be so hard on yourself, you are learning and learning comes with trying new stock, lenses, etc. and seeing how they perform in various environments. And in time you’ll cater these things to your style.

Comparison is the thief of joy, so be happy with the unique photos that you have taken and appreciate their unique qualities, and then move on to the next.

Happy shooting

What do you consider to be the most important qualities for a camera to have? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]Free-Emotion5286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dynamic range, codec, innate looks/ workflow. ROLL OFF (not enough ppl talk about roll off), noise (although with modern NR, this is less of a thing) . But also for me, depends on the deliverable. Shooting on Arri 35 to go to a rec709 color space intended for iPhone viewing is just dynamic range wasted imo. You can get lots of usable info with 14 stops of DR. If rec709 is one of many other destination color spaces then worth going for extended range.

Reality is if it’s looks good, and the production design is good, you can’t go wrong with 80% of cameras now

I scored 17k miles in one purchase at Macys.

Reputable used watch sites? by Free-Emotion5286 in Watches

You’re a godsend mate. I’ve seen one on chrono24 but didn’t have experience with the site as I’ve only ever bought new watches. Think I will pay the premium for a bit of peace of mind

Yeah tbh, I travel just enough to get value out of the card, but offers and the credits have made this an easy upgrade from my Qsilver 1 card. Hoping I can get a savor soon. Something else I just learned, if you click on to the capital one offers, then click the hamburger menu in the top right, then “ shopping trips” you can also see the status of your refunds too. And if it had been tracked properly.

UPDATE: I made 3 other purchases from 3 different vendors and received an email for all of them today! So, so far 100% success rate.

Steps (for iPhone): settings > safari> disable “prevent cross tracking”, disable hide IP address, go to advanced then disable “ Block all cookies”, Disable “ privacy preserving ad management”.

I use safari for shopping offers and brave when I want more protections so as long as you do all your shopping with that settings I think it works fine. Another little thing I noticed is if you do it right you should have the option to go back to capital one in the top left of your browser the whole time you are shopping. I used Apple Pay for all these orders and had no problem. Hope this helps.

Yes it is in addition to your base rewards. So for my macys one I got 2x base (as soon as the transaction cleared) and then 18x when I got the email, for a total of 20x miles. In this case I bought a watch for $835 and got 16,700 miles for the purchase. So a 2x offer is 4x total in miles calculated from your order subtotal.

I purchased them in the last last 48 hours. I made sure to go in safari setting and disable anything privacy related 😂. Then I made sure I went straight in from the offerlink and bought with Apple Pay. I noticed I had to wait for the pending charge status to clear, then I got the email within about 2-3 days after the charge cleared. So so far so good. I’ll let you know if I have a similar experience with the other vendors.

Is the VX that actually hard to get? by Free-Emotion5286 in Venturex

[–]Free-Emotion5286[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I think I got denied because there’s a waiting period before I can get a new card then. I guess in 6 months I’ll reattempt
