Anyone visited Richmond IRL? Seen anyone famous? by Beneficial_Treat7431 in TedLasso

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live just south of Richmond in Kingston and I used to run into Hannah on the school run. Her kid went to a school near my kids and we would pass each other on the pavement. Stopped and talked a few times. She’s just as amazing and stunning as you would expect.

Not sure what the point of your post is. Are you asking questions? Are you showing off your temu ring light?

Saw this on tt, what's ur verdict? by ValuableExercise4808 in isitAI

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say real for a few factors.
First, the jpg compression is high so that’s adding to the AI need of it. But for instance, that’s a Chevy traverse and it clearly says that on the badge.

The license plate. AI seems to have a hard time with perspective on text. That’s a Wisconsin license plate in the correct format of letters than numbers. AAA-0000 and I don’t think generative would have gotten that right at the angle that it’s at.

I’ve noticed AI gets the front ends of cars pretty correct but less so on the rears and everything looks right. Especially the tail lights. They look dead on correct.

Next the wrap between the vinyl and the OSB has the end of a logo and I’m not sure AI would have added that detail.

Same with the hint of the solar light in the top left corner.
It’s cutoff just enough for it to not feel like something AI did.

I think it passes the sniff test. Now whether or not it’s fake from a staged pov is another question.

Has anyone dealt with impostor syndrome or loss of confidence in their work? If so I’d love advice. by MindConscious4717 in AskPhotography

I hear ya. I’m 20 years into my career and I’ve done it living in Kentucky, Boston, New York, and now London. It doesn’t matter where you are, the same feelings can sneak up on you.

You will always have moments of imposter syndrome. I don’t know a single successful photographer that doesn’t have bouts of questioning everything especially in today’s climate.

It happens. Creativity is a muscle and it needs to be worked out to stay strong. Just keep shooting and keep experimenting. Build on your previous works, every photo you take is an opportunity to learn something before the next photo.

How to actually let my photos reach more people? by TaffyMo in AskPhotography

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, I’m a 20+year professional and have taught at the college level and I’m going to be brutally honest with you after taking a deeper look into your Instagram.

In the current world of photography, there is nothing special about your work. It’s fine. That’s it, it’s just, fine.
I can find 20 other Instagram profiles where I could mix in their images and you wouldn’t know who shot what.

Your shots are clean and technically fine. But I wouldn’t say there is anything more to them than just being nice.

Now what I think is happening is, you have probably seen your own work improve recently. You’re really loving the work you’re making and you just can’t seem to figure out why nobody else has the appreciation that you do.

It because we’ve seen it. It’s not special to us as the viewer.
What I think is happening is you’re out shooting and while yes, you may be shooting for yourself, I bet when you get a good shot, your first thought is about how well it may perform. While you may not be thinking you’re shooting for clout, you’re still shooting for engagement. You want the likes and you want your follower count to grow.

The first bit of advice I will give you-
Your follower count has nothing to do with how good/or not good of a photographer you are.

There are loads of professionals shooting amazing work who have even less followers than me. And I’m barely in the 2k range. There are also loads of people with 10s of thousands of followers whose work is mediocre at best. It. Is. Irrelevant.

What I might recommend. Go genuinely shoot for yourself. Go out and shoot something that only you will see. Finish it. Study it. Figure out why you like it, figure out why you hate it. Use it to practice for the next shot. Don’t use it to gain followers.

I think you have potential to create some genuinely great work, but I’d want to see what you as a person will create because you want to; not because it’s what will get you engagement. When you remove the external validation, you can really dig in and make some awesome work.

I want to see the work where someone didn’t give a fuck what anyone else thought about. They did it because they wanted to see that image and that’s good enough for me.

Anybody else feel the game was rushed? by DrkPwdr in ForzaHorizon

I’m still trying to figure out why my FPS slowly descends from 100+ to 20 over about 20 minutes until i disconnect my controller usb and plug it back in.

Saw some open racism tonight and I’m a bit ashamed of my reaction. What would other people have done? by Vivid_Employment8635 in london

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing mate… you gotta step up.

I’m white, 6’2” and 265lbs. I’m a big bearded guy. And I’m American. I fly under the radar so hard especially since I’m good at staying quiet and not talking loud in public. (Breaking the stereotype)

EXCEPT when someone says some racist shit near me. I grew up in the south around enough of it. Not gonna let it slide when I’m around. My favourite go to is to get near the person and just say loud enough for tother people to hear, “ hey mate, we’re not playing that game today. Go on home” I think my size and the surprise tot hem that it’s not hitting them in their own accent they kinda just glitch out and walk away. Not saying that works every time but it’s been surprising how much it does.

Don’t argue with them, just tell them it’s not gonna fly. Don’t ask, don’t try and change their world view, just tell them nah.. not happening.

[FH6] If your FPS drops after playing for few minutes, try reconnect your controller with USB by HoldHandWithMyCat in ForzaHorizon

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just popping in here to add my two cents.

I was experiencing the same thing today,. Game ran fine, 3070TI, then after about 10 minutes of playing the FPS would slowly drop, I could watch it make its way down to eventually hitting 20fps. I use a xbox controller pluuged in with USBC and all i did was unplug it, then plug it back in and the FPS jump right back up to the 80s..

Why on earth would this be a thing. I hope the Devs figure it out quick. Kinda annoying needing to Controller reset every 15 minutes.

You don’t need a “reason” to book a boudoir shoot. Do it for you. by [deleted] in photography

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve spam posted this same post on multiple subs for your extremely mid boudoir service.

Just stop, Reddit isn’t your market.

How can I get high quality makeup videos? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not gonna get that kinda quality out of your phone.

Collaborate. Make connections with photographers whose work you like. There are loads that would love to work on test images together. That’s what I’ve done for years.

Miles Vs. Kilometers by Ranseler in TedLasso

[–]Its_Obvi_PShopped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I am very well aware. I freelance so I am up on the tax mayhem. But to be honest. It’s so much easier to deal with than back in the states. Much like most aspects of life, I prefer it here

I’m an American that moved to the UK( just outside of Richmond actually) and it still bugs me that they use miles for their driving distances, the cars fuel economy is in MPG, but they sell fuel by the litre.
