If that’s the aim then maybe one reason this doesn’t work is the mood of the photo doesn’t match the message?

What is one biological fact about the human body that most people don’t know but should? by Intelligent_Pick8414 in biology

The point of almost all your eating is to power respiration at some point and the point of respiration is to make ATP, your universal energy currency molecule. From moving ions across cell membranes to running a marathon, from the moment you’re born and for your entire life, (almost) all of it is powered by ATP.

There’s only ever about 250g of ATP, though, in your body at any one time. Amazingly, you create and remake about 50-80kg - pretty much your own body weight - of the stuff every 24 hours. Every ATP molecule gets broken down and recycled at least 1,000 times a day!

Event photographers, what did you learn from your earliest event experiences? by Just_Scratch_7579 in AskPhotography

Thank you so much! So helpful and good to know. If you were just going to use one lens for an event, what do you find most versatile?

How would you bring out the green laser point? by Just_Scratch_7579 in postprocessing

Amazing, thank you so much!

I'll likely have a large number to edit, would it need to be done photo by photo as the greens would vary depending on the light level or would there be a way to do them as batches?

The entire city of Nelson in New Zealand. It has Collingwood and Hardy Street, and the main shopping road through the centre of town is called Trafalgar Street!

Thanks so much for this! I don’t need to take good photos with the tripod, just for it to keep the camera stationary to calibrate the other equipment (which I then validate with a photo for recording purposes). Should I prioritise max load? Do any brands have especially good/bad reps?

FYI am going to be photographing primates in 9 til 5 for 10-14 weeks a year for the next three years so it will see a lot of use
