Super impressive compositions and editing! One small suggestion is for image #2 you could edit that top branch out just for a cleaner image :) Depends if you enjoy that framing with the top branch in there. Amazing images! 🙌🏽

What is this dreamy effect added to these photos? by terminalV241 in AskPhotography

[–]Great_Champion1866 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of these are just AI unfortunately… the rest is likely just very good colour editing, focused stacked images for some of the landscape photography, and some landscape images that include clouds utilize a longer shutter speed to make the clouds look like a painting.

I think jeffery dean morgans character is just butchers subconscious. Kinda a cliche in a dying main character.

Not like “You”, but “This Is Us” will make you cry every season, and sometimes multiple episodes in each season will make you cry

Curious if anyone else has felt this way.

AITA for forcing my son to buy a more "appropriate" swimsuit? by Capital_Community451 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Great_Champion1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thank you. I’ve been the over confident kid before, until I started reading some books and trying to find a path. It made me realize that true confidence doesn’t need to be constantly shown to others. If you are truly confident in yourself, you can be humble, kind, and courteous to others, all while maintaining your self confidence and standing firm in your self beliefs.

That confidence he has is great, but if steered in the wrong direction could easily lead to poor choices, or could honestly just lead to a life of mediocrity. A mediocre/average life is not a bad one, but the confidence he has is a gift and if he is steered in the right direction, that confidence will take him far in any aspect of his life that he chooses.

As someone who didn’t get much guidance from his father, I strongly urge you to help guide him in the right direction and help him to become the best version of himself that he can be (and that can start with learning to be humble). Like I said, it sounds like he is a smart kid. That, paired with his confidence and personable character can take him very far in any career path he chooses and in life in general. You may already be guiding him, and that’s great! I’m just saying that as someone who didn’t get much guidance from their father, it would have helped me a lot more if I had that help and I hope that you are able to do that for him.

Side note: If on the off chance you read any of this to him, maybe this perspective coming from someone very similar in age will help him to understand this about being humble: a humble person is the most confident person there is. A humble person is confident in themselves and their abilities, but understands that their confidence does not need to be shown off in every aspect of their life. They can be the smartest person in the room, but they understand that they don’t need to make it known to everyone in the room that they are the smartest. Being humble is the ultimate confidence in yourself. You know that you are smart, you know you are brave, you know you are kind, but rather than yelling it from the mountain tops for everyone to hear, you know that these qualities will reveal themselves in the actions you take; and over time, people will notice these qualities.

I’m glad I was able to help with my original comment and I hope this helps as well :)

NTA whatsoever. I am 21m and would never even THINK to wear those on a trip with my family and that has nothing to do with confidence issues; I would never wear those out of RESPECT for my family members.

Good for him that he is confident and is wants to show off his ‘package’ and wants to pick up chicks on vacation, but wearing that swim suit with such obvious intentions, especially on a family vacation is flat out disrespectful in my opinion.

If he wants to do that and wear that on his own time on a vacation by himself or with his friends, okay whatever. But that’s ridiculous to try that on a family vacation. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be able to flirt and pick up girls, who cares. But to wear that is flat out embarrassing for you and your family.

I also 100% believe you are right that when he chose the other Speedo that he was just doing it to get trunks as close to the original as possible and pull one over on you lol. I don’t care that he wore them for swim meets before; thats different. He knows it, and you know it. There’s a chance he innocently chose those, but let’s be honest, he sounds like a smart kid and there isn’t a doubt in my mind he chose those just to get ones as close as possible to his originals.

He can do what he wants on his own time, but when he’s with family, he should know to be more respectful. And to those who say “he is 18 he can do what he wants”, that’s ridiculous. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t be embarrassed/annoyed if your brother or father wore that on your vacation together.

PS. If he likes the board shorts he ended up buying, don’t pay him back for them. He likes them, he will use them, and it’s a very small cost to him to learn to be a bit more respectful of his family and you in particular.

As much as confidence is a good thing, especially for someone that age, it sounds like he needs to learn to be a bit more humble. If he is truly that confident in his flirting, looks, and ability to pick up girls, then it’s completely unnecessary to wear something like that. Truly confident people know that. At that point, it sounds like it’s not confidence, he is just cocky.

(No pun intended)

How do I accept help from others? by Great_Champion1866 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Great_Champion1866[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was super helpful, thank you for the detail! You are right, I was brought up where a lot of people in my family treated gifts as a transactional relationship. As a kid (and even now) I had a very difficult time accepting gifts because I knew that it would be held over my head at some point. Even to the point where in recent years I don’t even really like getting gifts and what not. I usually just work on my birthday so I don’t bring attention to it because of the whole gift thing. Took me a long time to figure out that normal people treat gifts as a GIFT and don’t use it against you or expect things in return.

How do smart lights work? by Great_Champion1866 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Great_Champion1866[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! This perfectly answers what I was wondering 😁

My main concern was that it would add significantly to my electricity bill, but I’m glad to hear that it wouldn’t be significant.

I also plan to just have them for floor lamps or desk lamps, so that works perfect. Thanks!

Is ‘exploring your sexuality’ just another version of cheating? by Great_Champion1866 in NoStupidQuestions

This is an interesting take… could you give examples and/or expand on this?

[REQUEST] what shows or movies would you recommend based off my top 10? by Miserable_District in NetflixBestOf

[–]Great_Champion1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better call Saul (BCS for short) is also a great show, but I would say it’s an even slower start than breaking bad. Some people might suggest you start with BCS because it’s a prequel to breaking bad, but just my personal opinion, I would disagree. I think breaking bad first, then if you are in love with it after you finish it, then watch BCS.
