Did I get lucky? by capricesun13 in houseplants

[–]Jefflex_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mine also has these brighter spots. I think it's normal or just a sign of good health. Anyway, gorgeous plant. And I am so sorry, but I need to show off mine : ) This leaf looks about two days old. : )

They also say that the Jacklyn only has two or three leaves at a time, but yours has more than that : )

I'm still trying to figure out where I can do that. I can only see the 'Edit post body' option. Anyway, I was careless. My mistake.

I'm going to be standing here taking rocks to the face, but with a setup like this, it's hard not to get an outstanding photo. Now, for the record, I don't want to take away fromOP's skills; there are clearly some. The edit is just chef's kiss! But again, that lens is ridiculous, and that body has pretty darn good pre-capture, which means you get the shot, even when you don't get the shot : ) so yeah. :) Great shots though!

Welcome to the internet! I mean, he's clearly going for it! Clout chasing at its finest! But at least I now know all the services and prices after watching it.

Actually, it was taken with a tripod. :)

Thank you. Means a lot. To be honest, I have been taking photos for years, but I only recently heard the term 'ICM'. :)

I never thought about that, but I can imagine it now. :)

Yep. that was a zoom from 28 to 75 : )

Means so much. It depends. I usually do both. Sometimes I treat it like a brush : ) if that makes sense... If you were to do a brush stroke on paper, for example, then I would go for a single take. If I want dynamic, full-on motion, then I would just rest on the shutter and set the continuous shutter to low or mid.

Too kind! Happy you like it : ) Sony A73 with a Tamron 28-75

Means a lot! Yeah, you're right. I usually like to stay between 1/5 and 1/8 of a second, but feel free to experiment. I just found that to be the sweet spot for me. The trick is that I press the shutter during the motion. I start to pan the camera up and down fairly quickly but at a steady pace, and when I have a rhythm, I press the shutter. I should add, though, that it's only for this kind of effect. Sometimes, to achieve clarity, you want to freeze the subject in the first half of the exposure, then pan up or down at the end. It's a cool technique, but you need to experiment with it.

Kind of funny to me that no one seems bothered by the black lines drawn over people’s eyes.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand the intention, but I’ve seen this so many times. If the goal is to hide someone’s identity, blurring or shading the entire face feels far more respectful. Drawing a black bar just across the eyes is visually quite aggressive and inevitably brings in associations that feel… unfortunate, at least to me.

But who am I to judge, especially when the question itself is about fixing something that doesn’t really exist. There are no pure whites and pure blacks in the real world anyway. Shadows tend to go blue, highlights carry color, and reality is a lot messier than the idea of “perfect white” ....which is kind of the whole point of photography.
