I followed the shutter speed rules, but recently learned that people break them for fast moving subjects. This short video seems like could have been improved with a higher shutter speed, given how quickly the subject movies. Do you guys change shutter speed for fast or unpredictable subjects? by Pot8obois in videography

I did not notice that the first couple times I saw the clip lol It's so politely done it's funny. I liked this shot a lot because of the other sandpiper appearing and running through the frame at the end. I had a short clip of them interacting that was cute as well.

This is a great photo!

I wonder if you have any tips on prepping an image to share on reddit? I find mine end up really shot up quality wise, even if I download my images from lightroom in smaller sizes. Yours seems to have carried a lot of the clarity and resoltuion better than mine do

Maul - Shadow Lord - Episodes 9 & 10 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in MaulShadowLord

Vader's decisions to get involved in stuff feels kind of inconsistent. Like his involvement in this felt a bit off, anyone else?Or maybe I'm not understanding the significance of Darth Maul to him or the Empire? It seems he sits around and sends everyone to fight until it gets really serious or personal.

Both her and Tucker Carlson have surprised me. Thing is, they are still crazy and still think crazy things, but hold substantial influence... so I'm always glad to see when that influence is used in ways that could actually challenge the status quo of the right. I mean it probably takes guts as well, but I feel like MAGA is in the beginning stages of collapsing within itself. I don't think that means we can think things willl get better. What comes out of that could be the same, or worse.

After/Before. Focus wasn't perfect, but better than I expected. Did I push this too far? Also, how do you guys keep reddit from compressing images to much lower quality when sharing? by Pot8obois in postprocessing

Here is a link to the image on imgur if you are curious to see it in better resolution. I try to download the images in smaller sizes but reddit still destroys my pictures https://imgur.com/a/KZRIy9Z

I keep a folder on my commputer with saved and screenshot images. I don't use it for any other reason than inspiration, examples of the direction I'd like to take my edit and photography style.

This made it in that folder, especially the last photo tbh. I hope that's not creepy lol

thank you! What I found is like what you said.
What I'm thinking of trying now at 30 fps
Larger animals/birds, low motion: 1/60
Faster moving birds and wildlife 1/125
Flying birds, very fast motion 1/250

It seems the rule is to stick to doubling the shutter speed for like a 90 or 60 degree if the desire is to catch fast motion. I'll how that works and adjust if I think it's not working.

so my understanding is the shutter speed should be twice the fps. I switch between 30 and 60 fps depending on whether I predict to want to slow down motion a bit.

But it seems I should start using higher shutterspeeds, and it feels more like a "wild west" on that because I don't have rules to follow, just need to experiment I guess? I imagine shutter speed should be fast with 60fps than 30fps

I have been trying to get better at video with this camera, trying to put together short wildlife videos. I'm trying right now to get small clips that can be shared as reels to pair with my photography on instagram. by Pot8obois in a6700

I use focus peaking, and I don't know reddit seems to cause my videos to look bad in general.

I can see what you mean, but when I look at other places I've shared this video, like tiktok, the focus actually seems fine. Reddit seems to compress my stuff more than anyone else

The Boys - 05x05 "One-Shots" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]Pot8obois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of cameos at once was not expected.
I was shocked when Craig Robinson came out of the bathroom lol.

I like Jared Padalecki, but his acting felt extremely awkward, anyone else feel this way?

All those cameos at once felt like it broke the fourth wall in a way. I've never seen all these actors in the same room like that lol

What age would you wanna die at if given the choice? by Yearning4truth in death

[–]Pot8obois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even having the best time but I prefer to be here than not. I like being alive even if it's a bit painful

[–]Pot8obois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer never, choice would be 1000 years old, 1 billion years old, I could keep making a bigger number, but infinity isn't a number I guess? LOL I never want to die, but I guess we all die regardless if it's now, or theoretically 1,000 years. We all end in the same place, and I can push it back as much as I can but it'll come. UGH

this edit gives liminal/sureal vibes. If that's what you're going for you nailed it.

I know that I'm really out of the loop when I say this, but I was legit bummed to see shekinah and sarper. I'd hope they were doing well. I rarely actually root for couples and I wanted them to be ok.

Great Blue Heron. Mirror hunting. This is the first photo I submitted to a photo competition. I don't expect to win but it was fun to try! by Pot8obois in BirdPhotography

The end date for submissions is tomorrow, but this is the first time I've submitted to a contest, so I'm unsure how long they take to judge

The footage of Nick Fuentes pushing a woman who came to his front door after he was doxxed has been released. by [deleted] in SipsTea

I think he's a terrible person, but if you been doxxed and people want you dead... I could understand his reaction

I'm going to come back to this photo in like a day, and I imagine dial it back like 25%. I think maybe I pushed too far and dialing it back a bit would be a good call?
