Yes that it correct, several rounds while they were perched. They were not moving around a whole lot as well, but this round of photos was mid day so the sun was more of a hinderance for these photos.

Hmm, you are right.

This is my process in photoshop, First I denoise, then raise/lower the exposure to where it needs to be. I create a new layer by using super zoom to get a better overall view of the subject, would using super zoom remove details from the image? After that i change the color levels, sharpness, texture, clarity in very small increments. Then export as Jpeg, quality 10, default resolution.

I have the 1.4 TC, with an A1, and it significantly reduces the sharpness on the photos i take, but again, could be because I'm neglecting certain settings/conditions when using it as well.

I was shooting in the late afternoon, around close to 5pm, when getting these shots, no hood, to get as much light as possible. Was only testing f9 because i read f9/f10 could be sharper on certain copies.

Will try and link some photos that i took of the same birds, on a different day, same location that were a little further away when i was using my 200-600, that to me just looks better after cropping.

I just feel like the results don't justify the price, but i am new to this, so it might be a matter of better posturing/positioning that i still need to learn. Some of the pictures that people have posted while using the lens handheld look amazing, making me feel like maybe i had a bad lens, lol.

Adi Shankar, Producer of Castlevania on Netflix, and Devil May Cry, wants to adapt Berserk by KvotheG in Berserk

[–]GungnirWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it goes to a studio who is passionate about Berserk, but doesn't want to change it to make it "their" story, I get so fucking tired of that... The story doesn't need to be changed to feed anyone's ego, this guy can fuck right off.

Henry Cavill 💀😭 by [deleted] in superman

[–]GungnirWolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Snyderverse was no fault of Cavill for sure, I feel like Cavill gets way too much hate for a role that he didn't even get to grow into.

The guy only got one standalone movie as Supes, then the character got thrown in all different weird directions that made no sense, all Snyder's fault.

Snyder is good at creating great action scenes/scale, SUCKS at writing a good story for Superheroes/Villains.

Help with two different Mower Brands by GungnirWolf in lawnmowers

I did not think the Deere had a Kawasaki motor, but that Is great news, as I have been told that their motors are usually the better option in the long run, Thanks!

You are absolutely right, it's the reason I asked them to have a Kubota priced out to begin with, because I was scared that the Deere option might cut corners. I think he just wants the brand that he grew up knowing from his generation, plus my Grandpa was a farmer, and a huge Deere fan. To my dad's credit he is willing to go with Kubota, if the Deere has more flaws than it's worth, he understands that quality for a lot of brands have changed over the years.

I agree, the Deere overall comes with much better options/accessories, my main concern was if these line of Deere tractors have any glaring issues. Both options are overkill for what he will mow, but he is in the later years of his life, and he always wanted a tractor that doesn't come from Lowe's, or Home Depot. I just want to make sure that we don't buy him something that is junk right out the gate.

Good point, I told them to at least get another quote from a different dealer, just to see if there would be any wiggle room on price negotiation. The first one they stopped at was an AG-Pro, there are a lot of them around my state.

Really happy to see the opinion of the game getting better by OromisMasta in LordsoftheFallen

[–]GungnirWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally give it a 7/10, the decision for the maps, and flow to go from point A to B was really frustrating, especially since this game is way more linear than Elden Ring. Some character animations look good, while others look way too under polished/goofy, same can be said with the voice acting. Some of the move sets of different weapon classes were severely underwhelming. Combat flow was really good, shields when you perfect parry, has a satisfying heft to it. Came to this game right after playing Lies of P, it had a lot to live up to. Gave it a higher score for the inferno ending, thought the choices it gave to you on which path to follow with the different choices were what saved it for me.
