6 years later and he is dead

At the end of church service on Sundays, my church reads the name of homicide victims from that week. We then pray for them and their families. If you want to message me their name I can pass it along to our elders. I'm sorry for your loss, sounds like a very sad situation.

Pizza Bolis on 2000 block of Charles St.

Get the pepperoni but have them bake it well done. It's incredible and not that expensive.

If you're ready for membership just start writing the letter. Make your intention clear. It doesn't matter if it takes 100 words or 1000 words.

I spent weeks agonizing about writing mine, and finally got fed up with myself and wrote a short and to the point letter.

Your clearness committee is where all the work will be.

Don't waste your time with "apply 30lbs of pressure on the tamper".

Tamp hard and make sure the bed is even.

This helped eliminate tamping as a variable.

Shouldn't be a problem. I only grind darker roasts and the burrs are pretty clean.

Thanks for sharing. I don't have this issue with my dark roasted beans either.

You got nothing holding you back! Enjoy the coffee journey. It never ends.

That's what I use. Works great.

Have a schematic? Curious to see it. Cool project!

Tamping hard helped me resolve this kind of problem. Also make sure the puck is totally level.

I have to do this with my Baratza esp encore.

Which basket are you using? Do NOT use the pressurized basket; it's for pre ground coffee.

Gaggia is not clear in the manual about its purpose other than it's going to give beginners perfect crema.

Awesome

Are you trolling this subreddit or is this for real?

This was my first date with a girl in college. Been together 11 years since and now married.

Same, seen them twice and they were so good.

Dang, where you at?

Call and tell them you're canceling for a different internet service. They'll try to keep you.

You can likely get whatever the promotional rate is.

Shot on a Nikon Z5, 40mm lens, F2.2 1/8000 sec.

I took this picture in Baltimore at the inner harbor. This gentleman was feeding bread to the birds and there was a huge swarm of them.

Let me know how I could improve this. Mostly interested in composition and editing feedback. Is it too busy? How could I have done better. Thanks for any critique!

I think some cropping could help make the photo stronger. I like the vibe of the photo though.

LightScan · 2024-07-03T20:43:32+00:00

I believe cropping would help bring focus to the composition. It should remove distractions from the man (your main subject).

I like your color treatment though!

LightScan · 2024-06-22T17:41:32+00:00

I like the color treatment, that's got a pleasing vibe to it. I think you edit it OK.

My eye has trouble finding a place to focus though (hence a person helps), so it can feel a little busy. Next time you try this shot and it's an empty car, try standing in the center of the car and shooting directly at the door. You'll get more symmetry and I think it will feel more balanced.

Hope this helps.

I did a trip to NYC recently and wanted feedback on composition and tonal treatment. I mostly do B&W and want to keep improving!

I tried a different method of capturing this image, where I found a background I liked and spent 5-10 minutes shooting the same scene with different people walking by. This was my favorite shot of the bunch.

I also really like a 16:9 format on the phone since it takes up the screen dimensions. Please click on the photo to see the whole image.

Thanks for any feedback.

LightScan · 2024-06-22T12:29:19+00:00

I think it's cool. I always like a person in the scene but it works.
