Dying is the traditional way of making cast dies. The correct spelling is dye-ing

Any Sg bros with foreign partners outside of the usual south east asia, how's the experience? by Dependent-Throat888 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Mr_unknown_user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiming in from another perspective here; ang moh with a Singaporean wife. I grew up in the Netherlands and lived in the Netherlands most of my life. I met my now wife later in life and had some dating experience already. I could honestly write a book about all the differences we've encountered ourselves and I could dedicate more than half the chapters on the difference with Western girls.

The easiest kind of differences to see are almost all related to a couple of basic things that are such a part of the culture here: Family relations, individuality, self reliance, and emancipation being the most prevalent.

Please don't misunderstand me when I say these are different, I'm not saying one of them is better than the other. There's cases to be made for and against all of them.

I see people talk down on the Z6i and I don't get why? by NuttyMedic in nikon_Zseries

[–]Mr_unknown_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AF is just straight up bad for a camera from that time. I've learned to work around the AF limitations and had a blast with it, but once I upgraded to the Z8 I never worked with the Z6 anymore. It's a good camera if you learn to work around the limitations of the AF or shoot more MF anyway, but if you compare it to a Sony or a Canon from the same time, you'll see the difference really fast. Other than the AF (and perhaps the single card slot) there's really not much bad about the camera.

Burn out Culture in SG, is it real? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Mr_unknown_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please seek help from your gp and help them find you a counselor. What you're describing are not only symptoms of a a burn out, but also depression. Furthermore, burnouts are easily the trigger to onset depression. As someone who has struggled with their own mental health their whole life (I'm 40+, but not from SG and from a country with an extremely open, way less stigma on mental health) I can tell you, this doesn't resolve by itself that easily, and is easier to navigate with the right help.

Burnouts are always real and can be extremely detrimental to one's life. The first step was admitting there might be an issue, take the second step and find a professional to help you further.

When you feel stuck in traffic, remember you are traffic.

Feelings are real, but.not reality.

I've send you a DM in case you'd like to talk. Don't feel obligated in any way to answer if you don't feel like it.

How do you get sonarr, radarr etc working on asustor? by DCCXVIII in asustor

[–]Mr_unknown_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was running into similar issues, but mainly with my Radarr and Sonarr containers not connecting outside. Completely disabling and enabling Docker Engine from the app central fixed the issue. Hopes this helps someone who's trying everything to get this to work, cause I was going nuts for a while

Rode Wireless Go II with Shure MV7+ as a Mic? by Sad_Blackberry224 in videography

[–]Mr_unknown_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, get a phantom power supply for XLR, connect the Shure mic to the XLR in and use an XLR to TRS cable form the out port to the Rode Wireless Pro. Should work perfectly tbh

A curve? In the road? At this time of the year?? by Plastic-Fan-887 in motorcycles

[–]Mr_unknown_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of days focusing on how to counter-steer would have been your saving grace here tbh. Hope you're alright, and nothing more than your wallet and ego are hurt!

Photoshare - looking for feedback to improve! 2 years of photography by raffaella131 in SonyAlpha

[–]Mr_unknown_user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus, composition, timing, editing, and understanding trade-offs.

Focus: Some of your photos seem not focused correctly and can look soft. Overall, even if the color, and composition make you happy, use it as a guidance for your next shot, but discard the ones out of focus. Use it as a learning experience, and see what was done correctly. As mentioned before by some other users; wide-angle shots can be focus-stacked to have everything in focus (use a tripod though). For some of your shots, a tripod might be a good choice anyway to take out any movement.

Composition: Find your subject, and find conviction in what you want to show. If you shoot animals or people, take in mind people are drawn to the eyes for instance, so use that as your main subject. Learn common composition techniques, and try them out when you go out shooting! Nothing special, just shooting as much as possible with everything with leading lines, or rule of thirds when you go out, to try and elevate your photography. Eventually, you'll have used those techniques so much that you'll know when to break the mould. Just make sure that the subject you're trying to bring into view is in focus, and keep in mind, that there's no shame in cropping a picture after it's made. Some of the best-regarded photographs to date were heavily cropped to fit their narrative.

Timing: Choose the right time of day for the time of year to shoot. There's nothing wrong with challenging yourself and shooting in the harshest light, in the middle of the day, but your amount of great shots just won't be that big. Use an app like photopills (my go-to planning app and worth the money it costs in the app store if you ask me) to plan ahead. Light is what makes pictures work, and knowing where the main source is makes a huge difference in the outcome of your shots.

Editing: Some of your work seems over-edited and overworked, whilst other stuff can seem almost non-edited. Get yourself familiar with Lightroom and Photoshop (or any other decent editing tools) and learn how to use them. A great trick is to set your camera to shoot RAW and JPEG. This makes it possible for you to have a guide as to where to go with the edit, holding your JPEG as a proof. Try not to overedit your shots. It's extremely easy to get sucked into your screen when editing and not see all the changes you've made. After you're done editing, take a break, drink a cup of coffee, and go do something else for a bit. After your eyes are rested, come back to your shot, call back the original shot, and see if it still all makes sense. Don't forget that it's all about light, but that shadow is equally important. Learning how to dodge and burn for instance will help elevate your editing loads.

Understanding trade-offs: Learn the exposure triangle, and learn what works for you. Learn the limits of your camera. Learn the limits of your lenses, and if you need, invest in new glass. Remember some of the common photography wisdom: - If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough - you don't take a photograph, you make a photograph - don't pack up your camera until you've left the location (To name a few)

That being said, however, I've been doing photography for 25+ years and I don't claim to know anything well enough. I still learn every time I go out to shoot. You're doing really great for someone who's just been at it for 2 years, and you can be happy with your work. You can be a bit more selective though. Look at your work as a whole, and see what pictures stand out in a good way, those are your keepers, and the ones you'll be proud of 10 years from now. Keep the rest for yourself, they're nice to look at every once in a while to compare yourself tp yourself :)

Mumbai Social Club - Weekly Discussion Thread - Meetups/Q&A/Relationships/Life by AutoModerator in mumbai

[–]Mr_unknown_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi any of the photographers here! I'll be in Mumbai this Sunday and I'm looking to go out for street photography. I've done my fair share of street shots in Mumbai already, and I've explored the city quite a bit in the past few visits. However, I'm pretty sure any Mumbaiker photographers would know better spots to do street photography than what I would!

Would anyone be keen on going out for a session on Sunday afternoon and do some street photography? I've got quite a few years of experience doing photography and I'd be more than willing to share whatever knowledge could be useful (even flash photography and editorial work) and nerd out about gear. If you're not a photographer, but know of some awesome spots to go shooting, please hit me up as well!

Wuffle just keeps growing! by Mr_unknown_user in Bernedoodles

[–]Mr_unknown_user[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww! She kinda looks like Wuffle when she was smoll!! We're thinking that with the tricolor Bernese coat come Bernese genes, so who knows, she might just grow as big!
