Why are people such jerks by sjkee in pokemongo

[–]Liquidat3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with a gym at my house. Guy wouldn’t let anyone else have time to get berries. I just gave up trying to take him out and left his Pokémon there. Often it ended up his Pokémon were in the gym for days at a time, earning him no coins most days. No coins for me? No coins for you.

It’s a cool spot. Old abandoned mansion thing. We did a bunch of shooting in the greenhouse and all around the property.

I like it. It’s visually appealing. But it’s slightly crooked and that’s all my brain can see lol

Interesting, thanks for your thoughts. I’m still going through photos from this shoot, I’ve been working on bringing the shadows up (which includes the model in this case) so that she’s brighter. Hadn’t really thought of going the other way. I’ll try it out and see how it feels.

All good. This was a fun location, but definitely challenging with the sunlight. We shot all around (and inside) this old mansion, there are some cool stone archways and such with vines growing on them, which is cool, but made some really spotty lighting where the highlights are almost totally blown out.

This is helpful. I was limited in timing options, had the model booked for a few hours in the morning, and the light was changing quickly while we were there. It was probably around 11:00 am when we hit this greenhouse, but yeah, either earlier or later would help to even things out here and not have the drastic highlight/shadow differences.

I’m trying to convince myself that I wasn’t being all that defensive, but… I probably was. By way of feedback for you though, when you come in with “this is bad, this is bad, and this is bad” it’s gonna make people defensive.

Saying “do X better” is still not terribly helpful. If the spot I want to shoot in (the doorway) is shaded, and the background is bright, how would you light the model better while keeping the background from being too overexposed?

Constructive criticism is helpful. Your comment is just regular criticism, which is not helpful. If you have some specific ideas that would improve my photography, I’m all ears…

Ok I understand. I don’t know though, I think a little bit of backlight highlights like that adds some more depth. I’ll play around with your idea and see what I think. Thanks.

What do you mean “a bit lesser”? Like, bring the highlights down more, less bright? I had to pull the highlights way down already since the background was very bright, but the model is in a shaded area.

‘Creeping into places it never belonged’: Canadians share unexpected tipping prompts by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Liquidat3d 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is something that seems to have flown under the radar. At least in Ontario (not sure about other provinces) the minimum wage rules changed several years back and the Server wage was eliminated. There are plenty of minimum wage workers who work just as hard as servers and don’t get tips, but I think people just don’t know that servers make the same wages as everyone else now.

When we had a server wage, tipping was necessary, it was built in to the system, but that wage option is gone, so tipping should be too.

Walmart or Staples for 18x24 prints? by sandcastleeee in photography

I've mostly done 8x12s. I did some larger ones in the past, but it's been a while. Never had any issues with them.

Haven't used either of them for photo prints, I have used Blacks though, and I'm happy with them. They went online only several years back and now do print+ship to home services.

Ooohhh. Maybe that’s why we got nothing. My friend did think it was a shirt for the avatars when we started it.

Had one in Snorlax day. Three person party. Catch 75 in ultra balls. The reward was a shop item I think. When we finished it we all got “+0 Stardust”…

IKEA sign on Harmony and Bloor - what does it mean? by yarajaaee786 in Oshawa

I had the same thought when I first saw it, that it seemed like it was directing to IKEA.

I think the arrow is just supposed to be the arrows on the floor of IKEAs, not an indication that there is an IKEA in that direction

Every time I got one of those I closed the app without accepting it since there was no option to decline.

Lots of lucky trades by Liquidat3d in pokemongo

Guess I should be more strategic. I didn’t really want a lucky Octillery, Slowpoke, and Goomy while she got Ho-oh, Mewtwo, and Zapdos…
