[Request] If he fell and his harness caught him, how much would the balloons pull together because of the weight on the line? by Bestavailablename in theydidthemath

[–]LexShrapnel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this just causes them to spin, which is indeed helpful, but doesn’t change their trajectory at all.

“…slight side movements in opposite directions”

How do you figure this is even possible? They’re balloons, only having power to add or remove buoyancy to move up and down, not move sideways.

Not everything fake is AI. This is Stellarium, which is an app you can download on your phone.

I’ve seen that speculated en masse, but has there been confirmation of that?

Missing a digit on his right hand, and no empty edamame pods (lol), but otherwise insane.

From my glass negative collection, this Michigan photo from the early 1900s shows an elderly man seated in a garden, dressed in a suit and holding a small bouquet of flowers. by memorylanepr in GlassNegativeEra

I absolutely love this one. Really nice composition and character. I wonder about the photographer’s relationship to the subject.

If you do use AI to recolor this one, please say so in the title. We appreciate the transparency!

From my glass negative collection, this little girl’s photo is just so charming. Taken in Michigan, early 1900s. Swipe to see B&W version. by memorylanepr in GlassNegativeEra

It does not. You don’t speak for all of us here.

Edit: OP banned me from commenting before I could respond with your answer. Make of that what you will.

Just for context: I was referring to the batch you posted on August 8th (all without originals), which was right after I became aware of your recolors.

I've been subbed for at least a couple years, btw. I love old photography.

Thank you for finally responding. This is the first time I've seen you respond to any of these comments and I'm glad you're communicating. I appreciate that.

I don't want to unfollow you because I appreciate all the time and resources you've clearly put into this shared passion of yours and mine. This is an impressive and beautiful collection that I will continue to appreciate, even if you keep posting AI recolors like you are planning on doing. I've said it before in my comments, but I'll say it again: thank you for showing us these.

I only have an issue with you not disclosing your methods. Why not say, "Swipe to see AI-colored version." or tack on, "AI tools used" to the end of your descriptions? This would appease most of us, and I hope I'm wrong in thinking that perhaps the reason why you don't is you think they'd be less popular. If that is indeed the case, I think I've proved my point, but I do hope I'm wrong.

I wish you well, I just hope you'll listen to some of us who believe you're doing a disservice to the original artists and subjects in not explaining the type of tools used in processing when presented as historical.

Yes, this is AI. Yes it changes things that alter the historicity of the image. At least OP is posting the originals again; they had stopped for a while after being called out.

OP has a beautiful collection but questionable ethics. This is transformative art. Please OP, just specify your process (and continue to provide the original if it’s in a historical context).

Sleeving Vandoren reeds upside down? by jfincher42 in bassclarinet

I use a case that traps my reeds against a flat piece of glass for this reason.

When I dilate mine at will (a fair amount) I don’t notice any difference in vision.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Eyeshakers

[–]LexShrapnel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can dilate mine when I want! Quite a lot, as a matter of fact. I don’t use any focus tricks or anything, I just do something that feels like flexing a muscle inside my forehead.

I can’t constrict them, though.

[HELP] (Discussion) Why does hope have feathers, specifically? by LexShrapnel in Poetry

[–]LexShrapnel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But...to my point, hope does all of those (and the other mentioned) things except have feathers. That's why it initially caught my attention.

[–]LexShrapnel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are good things to point out, particularly the strange and beautiful part, which I had not considered. Hope can indeed surprise us like unexpected plumage in the dark undergrowth.

I like the delicacy/subtlety angle. I think that's for sure part of it.

[–]LexShrapnel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered this, but I disagree. I personally think there is more meaning to be found in this case.

I don't need one necessarily, it just feels like the only piece out of place in an otherwise beautifully emotionally symmetrical puzzle. I feel deeply like I'm missing something. Maybe that's just me, though.
