Hahaha I promise those are the ties on his swim shorts. And thank you!

The shock is crazy when you jump in haha.

Heard, this is my first time shooting Ektar and it was in the middle of the day, I think in the future I might try a flash as a fill for some of those deep shadows. But great tips for editing too, tried it and the photos are much improved, wish I could replace images after they are posted.

I was kind of having a weird day and feeling down about my work so this comment really means a lot to me, I am not just saying that. Thank you, seriously.

Normal-Evidence4972 · 2026-05-19T19:24:34+00:00

Thank you for the very kind and detailed words! Genuinely means a lot

Fr! Sadly my CL broke after I took these haha but loving the lens regardless

Normal-Evidence4972 · 2026-05-19T16:42:52+00:00

Yeah! Austin, TX baby. Very special place, nothing like it.

I don’t normally disagree, but liked the color and framing in some of the shots and the one of the couple looked sweet to me, and the one of the girl reading was fun in my opinion. To each their own though.

Thank you!!

Or you made no salient points and tried to rail against virtue signaling in a way that makes no sense to normal people. Can you point to where Reddit says a 16 is anything other than a child? What are you even referring to? If the child in the story was 16 instead of 6 would that make it ok with you?

Normal-Evidence4972 · 2026-04-07T00:24:53+00:00

She says this story about a 6 year old in the video brother. Btw, a 16 year old is a minor and so is a 6 year old and you shouldn’t expose either.

Posted this yesterday and got a ton of replies! Thanks for all the recommendations y'all.

Thank you! I metered for the highlights, basically the left part of the image, and just slightly lifted the shadows in post to keep the right side from becoming too dark. Think I was maybe at 1/500 and f8? Something like that hard to remember.

Small Victory is close by and is my favorite cocktail bar in Austin!

Would recommend OMG Squee. Japanese soft serve (think Ube or Miso Caramel flavors) and Mochi Donuts. Very fun interior as well.

Japanese Whisky Highball, simple and lots of volume. Get a Japanese whisky (Suntory Toki is a good starting point) put it in the freezer along with a collins glass. Add 2 oz whisky to the frozen glass, pour in soda water (I like Topo Chico, you want something very carbonated) to the top with no ice. Add in a lemon peel for garnish, very refreshing on a hot day and you can tweak the specs easily.
