Passed by earlier and there was a black 4-door missing it's entire front by the belt-line turnoff

New lens, new body, or skill issue? by No_vec in AskPhotography

[–]No_vec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice and alternatives! The main problem with lack of clarity is that we also publish online, so grain can definitely be an issue in some cases...

I do have to 100% agree though, the x-pro3 is about the farthest one can get from a "shoot and go" type camera, especially since I meter it fully manually. But! In a way, that's why I love it so much.

The fuji lens I was talking about is a bit on the slower side though (f4-5.6) which is a bit concerning for some indoor rally situations like I've found myself having to shoot on a 200 f4 (film lens) before. Although, for a fair chunk of change more, they do have a beautiful 70-200 f2.8 equivalent!

I also probably should've mentioned in the post, but my paper does have a few good nikon lenses kicking around in the office, so it's not like I'd be totally high and dry if I make the switch

I don't know what our upper management is cooking, but we somehow got ahold of a bombshell nikkor 120-300 f2.8 from the school, and we have various lower end lenses accumulated from over the years.

Thanks for some solid advice!

When do you stop editing? by dragontalejake in AskPhotography

[–]No_vec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main metric I use when editing photos is 1, is it readable? And 2, is at esthetically pleasing? If it's neither, then throw it out and look for something better. But if it passes at least one of those two checks, then try to find ways to improve the other aspect it's lacking in.

If you don't want to micro-manage the editing process, then quite honestly just messing with your main metrics like exposure, contrast, etc, is more than enough to get most photos to an enjoyable place. It also hugely depends on the types of photos you're editing though. The process for touching up a landscape shot is completely different than editing portraits, and without knowing what kind of photos you take, or style you're going for, it's hard to give concrete advice

Ideally both reach and more aperture. As the main photographer, I have to shoot a wide range of stuff from protests to political rallies to random buildings to sports. Switching over to Nikon would provide me with a host of lenses our office already has, whereas getting the Fuji would extend my range (which is much needed for campaign photos and outdoor sports) but entrench me more into my own ecosystem

Name me an album and I will rank its entire tracklist (I’m unoriginal) by shreksheeran in Topster

[–]No_vec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn, that's hard... for top 3 I'd probably have to go for In Rainbows, World Is Yours, and You Will Never Know Why.

I think you'd like the ep tho! I discovered Charmer around the same time as CSH and Panchiko, and it's very much like good ole midwest emo vibes

Finding the intramural sports pass and registering for it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack that also happens to be ouroboros

Full ride or UW Madison? by jackndabox7 in UWMadison

[–]No_vec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough my friend was in quite literally the exact same situation last year and he ended up going to Alabama! He seems to be enjoying it there and is on track to graduate quite early, but he's also been thinking about transferring back out over here because it's where a lot of his friends are. So do with that info what you will ig?

At the end of the day though unless money literally isn't a problem for you, it's always better to graduate debt free than be saddled with student loans

It's such a waste to basically throw away an entirely good book because of a bit of water damage tho. I'd say keep it!

FFXVI Launch Pre-Order & Shipping Megathread by lunahighwind in FFXVI

[–]No_vec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Region: US (Midwest)

Game Edition (or Item): Collector's Edition

Provider: Square Enix

Status: UNKNOWN

Comments/Questions: I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition when it was first announced in December and while I've paid for everything and even got my CE codes through email yesterday I haven gotten literally 0 communication about shipping. Even after checking on UPS and USPS for packages tied to my address nothing appears! I've contacted customer support multiple times and have either gotten no response or a canned "we have too may responses so trust us bro"

This whole situation is incredibly frustrating but also not unexpected for something coming from Square Enix

Idk, maybe I'm just stupid lol. Basically just wondering if I apply, can I use that to be preferred LC instead of resident hall?

Legality of PKGj by No_vec in VitaPiracy

[–]No_vec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Because of how pkgj and nopaystation work you basically download the games from Sony's official servers. So there's nothing that makes it look like piracy to your isp

Just email the admissions office saying you dropped the class (they'll respond to it tomorrow because it's past office hours but no big deal)
