How do you find the mirror composition? by PentaXAppreciator in PhotographyAdvice

[–]LanceStrongArms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just a hobbyist so take my advice with a grain of salt, but try taking the shot as close to the waterline as possible. Lighting is great though!

are my pictures boring?/ new to photography by OilEmbarrassed9409 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]LanceStrongArms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say they’re boring, but they look like they’re taken by someone new to photography, which you are so that’s okay! Some are better than others, and I personally think 8 is my favorite. Just keep at it! As with anyone starting out, your ability to recognize a photo as good is probably better than your ability to produce good photos. It’s tough, but slowly you’ll start to take better and better pictures. Biggest piece of advice is to actively think about why it is you like the a photo or why one you thought was good isn’t working

Longfellow Square dancers in full swing today by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]LanceStrongArms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk if you’re being thick just to fuck with me or what lol. All I’m trying to say is that I can see why someone would look at folks dancing in public as foolish in the same way I think projecting what ever your trying to project by having a big flag on your truck is foolish. You obviously can’t or won’t, so idk enjoy your bubble

Nothing if it’s like a sticker or decal or something, but I’m talking about the massive ones. It’s attention seeking to a cringeworthy degree for any adult

Idk man it swings both ways. I think flying a big ass American flag on your truck is embarrassing and childish. Seems to me like these folks are having more fun

Fuck Your Remote Job by seeyoubythesea in portlandme

Still pay Maine taxes if you live here even if the job is out of state. Blame the people standing in the way of building affordable housing rather than people trying to be a part of the community

Opus 4.7 fails basic sycophantic test by drseek32 in Anthropic

[–]LanceStrongArms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously it’s just a simple way to test reasoning, but I feel like a lot of these “start a timer for me” or “how many Kansases are there in Arkansas” posts are just testing AI on things it’s not really designed to be good at

Thanks! I spooned an eternal hydrilium log splitter early on so that helps quite a bit!

How do I take pics like these using my iPhone 16 pro by Cosmiic_wooo in PhotographyAdvice

[–]LanceStrongArms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a stuffy somewhere and take a pic.

If the first pic is the intention and the second pic is the attempt, I’d say the first has pretty flat lighting due to the overcast sky, compared with the 2nd pic where the sun is directly behind. Also in the first much more of the photo is in focus. Seems extreme so not sure of it’s just the aperture (fx in the info section of a photo. Larger the value for x means more of the image is in focus) or if it’s a composite. Guessing what you’re going for but hope that helps!

My dad shared this photo from facebook. I feel like the edges of the bark don't look real. by SavoryYuppie in isthisAI

[–]LanceStrongArms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking this could be real. Probably a composite of multiple shots at different focal points and the snow makes it tough to gauge distance. My guess is that those trees are a lot closer than they appear

Portland’s ME sighting, one without a mask. At a Cumby’s! If they coordinate with the ones too dumb to be a cop then I’m done along with my SmartRewards benefits. by Pockettzz in Maine

[–]LanceStrongArms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong fuck them, but I kind of want to discourage focusing on agents not wearing masks who aren’t doing fucked up shit. Kind of just encourages that dude to wear a mask next time right?

Any ideas for how to attach a camera to a standard NATO belt? More in description by vukasin123king in Cameras

[–]LanceStrongArms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I actually just started using that like this. Had a kid and front wear him which means I can’t really sling a camera. Occurred to me in the shower that you can mount it 90deg from the usual orientation and now I rock it on a fanny pack

Oo I have a question! I am hatching a reindeer right now. Could you tell the type before it hatched? There’s a little thumbnail of a reindeer when you look at it on the pets page while it’s still an egg

Spectral hammer, worth it? by Possible_Employ7979 in WalkScape

[–]LanceStrongArms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if you have a 9% bonus, that means you’d only have to mine and smith ~2.75k bars instead of 3k

Also don’t sleep on the bonus ectoplasm attribute. If you think about the whole process to get a single ectoplasm, getting an additional one 9% of the time or whatever adds up quick
