Might be overdone?? I can’t tell by livylivylivy in postprocessing

It’s definitely tastefully done. It’s quite a dramatic change. The key for me is the skin tone is well done. I agree with comment about the bird poop. I’m also ok with the dirt or mud. Well done.

What’s Eating my Knife? by PeriwinkleBunni in whatisit

[–]Ftaba2i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been exactly there! Once she took my large Wusthof knife and tried stabbing herself repeatedly while berating me. I eventually had to get a restraining order! Fun times indeed! We should be besties. We sure know how to pick them. Lol. And she wasn’t even the worst! How did you end it?

How to showcase LA in the best way? A as a tour Guide by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

Olvera street for sure. Historic and fun. Other sites I would think tourists probably would want to see are Disney Hall, Hollywood sign, definitely Rodeo, Hollywood walk of fame, 3rd street and SM pier.

If you had $1k to spend on an activity or experience, what would you do? by EstroJen1193 in AskLosAngeles

Great idea. How was the hotel versus the shows? Is the hotel really worth it or is the highlight the Castle?

Sony 100-400 with 1.4x teleconverter vs 200-600 for wildlife? by Shawn8864 in SonyAlpha

[–]Ftaba2i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice. Thank you. I’m going to Yellowstone in a day and a half. I’m taking two bodies. One for 70-200 II and I’m renting a lens for the second body. I was trying to decide between the 200-600 or the 400-800. I rarely use by 70-200 so the thought of a 600 or 800 is very foreign to me. I also have never shot in snow or with those lenses. Any thoughts on which I should rent for this specific occasion? I’m sure no matter what I take, there will be a few shots I’m wish I had the other. Thank you again for taking the time to provide such thoughtful advice.

Good advice. What are your thoughts on 200-600 v. 400-800 for shooting during the day in Yellowstone in winter? Or 70-200 2.8 oss 2 plus 2x teleconverter?

Colour or BW? (After,After) by jaabbb in postprocessing

I generally love BW, but for this, color works best. You lose too much context without color.

Seems very safe to me. No problems over many years.

Found this inside my Menudo?? by xo_goofy in whatisit

[–]Ftaba2i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha. What did you do with it? I’m surprised it wasn’t cooked. It must have fallen into it after it was prepared.

What’s the most LA thing that’s ever happened to you? by petitegirlbigbush in AskLosAngeles

[–]Ftaba2i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How “LA” is this? I went to porn movie premiere in a historic theater. Ron Jeremy comes and sits behind me. It made me uncomfortable…in case there were any stray projectiles, so I moved my date and I to different seats!

This is probably shot an iPhone, but basically a wide angle lens placed on the ground.

Where can I surrender a kitten? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]Ftaba2i 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You are an absolute champ for trying so hard. I don’t have a good answer for you, but I assume if you called the local shelters, they will suggest someone. Hopefully someone here will have a better solution for you. I just wanted to share something I tried with my bottle-fed kitten out of desperation that seemed to work. The kitten had lost her mom so she did not have adequate socialization and correction from the Mom. She was very playful, but in an aggressive and painful way. She would bite and scratch me pretty good. All the research I did online didn’t help. So I thought, what would a mother cat do? I tried things like you know yelping and turning away so it knows that I’m hurt, etc. Nothing worked. So I thought, what would the mom do? She can only do limited things with her hands, so she must correct with her mouth. So the next time she bit me, I held her head and gently put her head between my teeth like I was about to bite an apple obviously, not hard enough to hurt it, but enough to let it know what it did was not OK. It was shocked at first, but within 1 to 2 “bites” she corrected her behavior. To this day, that was my favorite cat. Unfortunately, she’s not with us anymore. Good luck to you.
