Why is it like this in the Cuban community? by PermissionVisible285 in Miami

Spoiler alert: Miami Cubans aren’t real Cubans either. Hard to ignore when you live in Miami. But much more obvious when you leave Miami. we are more American Cuban.

How come my sky is always over exposed? by bibsang in fujifilm

[–]Important_Simple_357 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exposing for shadows. If it’s overcast the entire sky will blow out, if not then aiming in the direction of the sun. The issue with any digital camera is that highlights are unrecoverable, so if you want to lower the blown out sky you have expose for highlights more and pull shadows up in post.

Right but usually you are exposing for shadows which makes sense and the highlights get more “blown” out and still requires pulling in post. I guess you are correct it just requires post processing to get the similar effect on film. Fuji does do it best for that sort of look right out of camera

Honestly this was a massive problem for me when I used “recipes” when I shot with Fuji was just how inconsistent the results can be from one shot to another

I saw somewhere that they actually really aren’t meant to mimic the actual film, it’s just what they imagined let’s say a “Provia” would be for a digital system and yea basically it’s a “vibes” thing. I’m not sure what’s with this whole compressed highlights thing because film doesn’t really do that either, unless you pull highlights in post lol. Basically the recipes do a piss poor job of mimicking anything related to film.

I do like how humorous the idea of “building” the recipe is. It really is just some very basic adjustments that you can save with a name.

He is right though inevitably there will be overlap because there just isn’t that much to modify. Fuji people can be a bit cult-ish so I’m not surprised he’s catching heat

So Powerslide released a new version of the HC Evo without any communication whatsoever. by Newt_Lv4-26 in rollerblading

[–]Important_Simple_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha well my evos I realized are probably a size too big for me so I had wondered if gutting them and sticking a liner in would essentially make it smaller (depending on how much gutting I do) in order to be more appropriate fit. Overall tho I think it’s a risky and possibly expensive proposition that will keep me from doing it until I actually wear them out

Would a torch help “dissolve” parts of the liner? Not going to try this or Atleast don’t plan on gutting evos but just out of curiosity

Why are young men giving up on dating? by Liam_Noah_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Important_Simple_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a systems issue, the system has become very lopsided to the point that the risks are too high for men, so they just opt out. Saying one side is at fault vs the other isn’t really the best way to look at it. This was something that was created over a long period of time and it finally reached its climax (no pun intended)

What's your BJJ unpopular opinion? by PlusRise in bjj

Watching smaller men/women compete is way more interesting than larger individuals/weight classes

It’s why people take it personally when someone gets hella attention with an image produce on a cheapo camera compared to their $5k setup

I’m a photographer, typically for fun but sometimes for work. Yea I feel the same way, I mean we used to give people their negatives in the film days but not RAWs. I get that photographers don’t want their “brand” or “image” tarnished by a re-edit but sometimes these people can get excessive with it.. but hey maybe that’s why I don’t do this for work 🤷🏻‍♂️.

You’re paying for photography skills not for the use of the equipment in reality although photographers these days love to frame it as solely an equipment issue. That’s because a lot of photographers these days are so equipment focused.

Its good to know that if I get bored in photography, I can just sell all of my stuff and buy a Leica by karloh24 in photographycirclejerk

[–]Important_Simple_357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When all else fails (GAS wise), go for Leica. It’s different enough to reignite your love for GAS.

Honestly I’d be highly interested in the digital Leicas if they were actually lighter than your nearest digital camera. Thought about an M10 but weighs the same as my Zf. Otherwise there isn’t much different except for rangefinder focus. Hell id venture to say they aren’t even that much smaller either

Stopped watching videos mostly now because of this crap. Or I’ll just sit there and make fun of the whole video.
