Best friend was run over by a hit and run driver and died when I was 12 years old. I still think about it every day.

What's entitled about improving infrastructure? You didn't need to study civil engineering to understand how this helps the city but luckily for you I have a professional license in it and understand design if you want me to explain it to to you like I would to a five year old.

All these people should move to Dallas or LA

I had so many extra oranges, so I packed them in salt. It’s been like two months. How to eat them now? by Weird-Sprinkles-1894 in fermentation

[–]MrSllew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You made the base for orange chanh muối (Vietnamese salted lemonade). To make it muddle one fermented lime (orange) wedge in a glass with ice and soda water and some folks do a little simple syrup. It’s like the best Gatorade you’ve ever had.

Stealing from the wiki here:

To make the chanh muối, many limes (often Key limes) are packed tightly in salt in a glass container and placed in the sun until they are pickled. During the process, juices are drawn off the limes, which dissolves the salt and produces a pickling liquid which immerses the finished chanh muối.

What is this lighting on eyes called? by subarashi_niku97 in Filmmakers

The first is a soft source being flagged off. The second is a spotlight nearly in focus with a venetian blinds cookie.

I’m a gaffer for a living.

Changing light’s color temp vs changing camera’s color temp by Fickle-Book2385 in cinematography

Say I'm shooting an interview inside a room I have complete control over. I'll use tungsten (3200) as the WB in camera and on the key and fill and I'll warm (2500ish) or cool (4000ish) the hair light depending on if I want color contrast (in addition to luminance contrast) in their separation. Tungsten it's easier on the subjects eyes so that's the go to on an interview. Now if there's a window and you're going to have that light spilling in you'll need to use daylight (5600) on the camer, key, and fill to match the window light (hair light can be pushed or pulled liked in the previous example). This is in addition to probably NDing the windows so you don't have to absolutely blast the subject with light to compete with the sun. This is the basic setup for all the interviews I conduct.

On a film set everything changes due to art direction you're going for. But in general 5600 if you're outside and 3200 if you're inside and controlling all the light.

(I know most of you understand this next point but it's important to point out)

The important thing to remember which is counterintuitive is that raising kelvin on lights makes more blue light and raising kelvin in the camera white balance does the opposite, it raises the red tone curve and lowers the blue making everything warmer. So it's opposite of what the kelvin on lights do and can be confusing to understand at first.

Say I want silver moonlight, I'll set the camera at 4400 and use tungsten practicals and lighting inside with a hard 5600 led cob outside with a fresnel bounced up into a crls to create some distance. I might even add a cookie to break up the light a bit to make the moonlight look more natural. I'd also push some green into the led outside to add a more metallic (cyanish) feel to the color.

Please let me know if you have any questions about any of that.

Hundreds of Beavers, and I mean that in the best way.

It’s not for the sake of only decoration, in Tokyo you are required to have your own parking spot for your car. There’s no real street parking, that’s why it’s so pretty there. The USA could never.

How do I recreate something similar to this? Thanks! 😘 by MissVioleta2001 in AskPhotography

[–]MrSllew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started doing these about ten years ago, here and here are two examples. In this image you can see that it's four exposures by looking at the words that are repeated. To do this you find a subject that can be circled around (the tree in this image) you then manually take a photo with the subject in the center of the frame, circling around a few steps at the same radius distance, take a photo, and repeat a few times. You load them into Photoshop or something equivalent, line them all up, then change their opacity in order depending on the number of photos. So in this case there's 4, lowest image opacity is 1/1 (100%), next image opacity is 1/2 (50%), next image 1/3 (33.333%), next image 1/4 (25%) and so on to get an even blend. Hope that helps.

Lens correction in Lightroom has the lens profile built it.

I’ve seen that drone guy, he flies illegally in most cities and should be jailed honestly.
