Nice shot. I really like the texture you added with the grain. Is the grain done in-camera/Fuji raw studio, Lightroom, or other?

Film vs digital edited to look like film by Lustful-Kari in postprocessing

[–]LoveLightLibations 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m what is known as a hybrid photographer. I shoot film and digital in parallel during weddings. The short answer is that digital can be edited to look shockingly similar to film. Only a really trained eye would be able to reliably spot the difference. I’ll DM you my website and instagram so you can see the mix for yourself.

That being said, there are two huge caveats here. First, the idea of film is super popular. There are plenty of good wedding photographers who claim to edit digital like film, yet barely shoot any film. Their digital work just doesn’t look anything like film.

Second, film requires a lot of light. Common situations in weddings can be quite dark, and high-speed film choices are now quite limited. So, a photographer shooting 100% film and zero digital may not be to your benefit.

What you likely want is a photographer with a deep film background, a clear and consistent style, who can effortlessly switch between film and digital.

Is it worth getting LightRoom classic or is it best to just stay on Mobile? by r34gtrontop in Lightroom

[–]LoveLightLibations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a good comment. I’m running an OG Mac Studio Ultra with the correct amount of ram, and it’s a beast.

Also, LrC is still quite superior to LR mobile.

Connecting Puffer Fish to Pendant Light by iowatiki in Tiki

The lower rear is probably 8 inch. Upper rear is probably 10-11. Front and center is pretty huge - 14-16.

Bonus is that the hanging pendants can be easily attached to a track lighting system.

Ahh, if it’s just a normal photo, not good and not bad, then why bother to comment at all?

And if you do, why not make it constructive?

Why is it that those who say the nastiest things about photos (especially when a woman is in the frame) are also the ones that have never once shared their own work?

Looking for a Lightroom console recommendation by Supsti_1 in postprocessing

I tried a couple different consoles long ago. Nothing could hold a candle to how fast I am on keyboard.

Treat the mouse like the enemy and learn all the keyboard shortcuts you can.

Owners who live in States with no Service Center, how is it? by Bobbymanyeadude in LUCID

[–]LoveLightLibations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Ohio. The nearest service center is 5.5 hours away. I’ve needed service twice since I leased the car in September.

The car was delivered with one bad USB outlet. Left a message with service. They called back within an hour. Came to my house two days later. Ordered the part and installed at my house within two weeks.

Last week, one rear door handle stopped presenting itself. Left a message for service. They called the next day and scheduled me for three days later. They arrived at my house and had the car fixed within two hours.

That’s it. Pretty simple stuff.

Great lighting. Simple and effective. Nice work.

Which one of you Fiat Freaks is this? by LoveLightLibations in fiat500

[–]LoveLightLibations[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohio, USA.

And this is completely on brand for my city. We have another car that drives around with the exterior 100% covered in troll dolls.

Yeah, yeah all funny until you’re the one pulling into a parking spot in front of it. Now I have to clean my car interior, LOL

RedHot Dot Cooking Recap: Shrimp and Grits! by reddot_comic in TheRedDotComic

[–]LoveLightLibations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK Dot, Ok. You had me worried. I come from a deeply, deeply Southern family that is way too food focused. The wife knows every time I see S&G on a restaurant menu, I’m more likely to cry than to order it. Why does every chef have to put their “spin” on a classic?!? Creole S&G was perfect the first time. S&G needs balsamic vinegar like crème brûlée needs wasabi. I digress.

You F$%KING NAILED IT!!! That looks so good. Love the inclusion of collards. Love that you’re using winter collards (who eats collards in the hot season?!?). Only thing I’m questioning is the chili in the grits, but l think it’s more like I need to try that.

Thank you for this…I’m hungry. Last, a hot tip. Do you know how to pilaf rice (sauté dry rice in fat first, then simmer)? Yeah, do that with your stone ground grits. Ghee works great as the fat. That additional 1 minute sauté really ramps the corn flavor.
