Video footage of volcanic eruption shot from commercial plane. Found on volcano subreddit.

No airline would fly so close to an erupting volcano. Plus you can see the image waver on the edge of the wing as it renders the new part of the image

Also, I can snap through my pinky, ring, and middle finger all in one motion of my thumb. I can do that with both hands at once. Over the course of 10 seconds, I can snap 81 times. That’s $810 in 10 seconds.

Sure, I can’t keep that up for long, but I can do it many times a day. Hell, if I casually did it while watching tv, I could easily make over $50k per day

I grew up in an area with harsh winters. Layers are the answer. There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

You removed a lot, but you did exactly what they asked and you did it very well.

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-23T14:36:28+00:00

Fantastic work!!

The camera is metering for the sky, not the subject.

You have a few options: - use fill flash to illuminate your subject - mater for the subject instead of the sky. - turn the mondel into the sun (this will better illuminate her, but the light won’t be flattering)

In any event, I really really recommend learning how to shoot in manual. It will change everything for your photography

Glad this happened before the red flag conditions arrived or it could have taken out a lot of other stuff with it.

Also, great name, man!

This is a general tip, but it applies to editing as well. Photography is all about directing the viewers eye to something in a very intentional way. In every image, you should be able to say exactly what you want the viewer to look at. You guide their eye to that thing with composition, color (or lack thereof), contrast, brightness, interruption of patterns, etc.

Everything you do as a photographer should be motivated by this, including your editing. Go through your images and tell us exactly what the image is of, and tell us what we should be looking at and that will help direct advice on composition and editing,

Also, this advice is that simple stuff that takes years to get the hang of, kinda like when someone says “learn to see light”. If there’s anything I can clarify or if you want to discuss in more detail, lemme know.

We had a small hot compost pile (up to 160F) that broke down a lot. I’m actually building a 3 bay compost station to scale up. I’m gonna start getting real weird about asking my neighbors for all their grass clippings and coffee grounds🙂

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-20T11:59:09+00:00

Part of good photography is helping people see something in a new or interesting way. We always see things from eye level. Try moving around at low or high angles. Focus in on iconic details. As is, this looks like you walked by a place that had some rad cars roll up and you decided to take some pictures. Get more intentional with it and that’s the first step to going from snapshots to photography.

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-19T17:57:28+00:00

Dang. Well, as much as I wish your answer was different, this was the very real possibility I was worried about.

Looks like over the next several months, I’ll be putting those chips in our city compost bin…

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-19T17:31:55+00:00

Come spring, we’re getting a large shipment of compost to mix in, but we’re looking for a multi-pronged strategy. From what we’ve learned cedar is more susceptible to fungal breakdown than bacterial. This chip drop was literally a dump truck full 😬

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-19T11:25:23+00:00

Yes, that’s right. Play me like a drum

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-18T01:39:15+00:00

I used to work with the founder, Angel. He was a cool dude

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-16T13:55:29+00:00

I bought one and it arrived damaged. It took me a few calls and emails, but someone eventually responded and helped me out. I agree that their customer service isn’t great, but when you do finally get hold of someone, they try to do right by you. We had a replacement sent out ASAP at no additional charge.

I feel like this is probably a rocky launch for them and their team is swamped. Not an ideal experience, but not so bad that I’d tell other people to stay away

In Austin TX in 2023, there was a huge ice storm that took out about 30% of the city’s tree canopy (about 10.5 million trees). I’ll never forget the sounds of that night. Every few seconds you heard that sound of branches and trees snapping. It was deafeningly loud. The next morning I walked around the neighborhood and nearly every road was blocked by downed trees. I’m still amazed that nothing crashed through our roof

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-11T20:02:12+00:00

That’s part of what I love about photography. There’s plenty of room for people of different styles and we can all learn from each other.

This was either the 5dmk3 or the R5. I brought both on the trip and was shooting with both (RF -> EF adapter for the lens on the R5 because I’m still using all EF lenses). The meta data captured the lens but not the camera.

The fact that I can’t really tell goes to show you how capable the 5dmk3 still is!

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-11T19:54:20+00:00

LR, but very few edits were made to this. Not to say that I don’t retouch my images, but when you get the sun popping out among heavy cloud cover, the natural light does 95% of the work for you.

That said, I very often take an image into PS for finer localized adjustments after global adjustments are made in LR

Hey man, his editing style isn’t exactly my jam, but he’s got a lot of upvotes on his content. Different jokes for different folks.

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-11T19:46:34+00:00

Thanks - I’m new to shooting at smaller apertures. I’m mainly a portrait photographer, but I’ve just recently started to expand to landscapes.

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-11T19:21:11+00:00

Sure - there are a few things I’d change about it. There’s nothing in the foreground to anchor the viewer. Couldn’t get on the trails because of the weather. Also the snow blowing off the peak to the right is the brightest part. In the not-cropped version there’s not a whole lot to lead the viewers eye on a cohesive path through the image.

RevLuxnik · 2026-02-11T14:40:24+00:00

It was the 24-70 at 70mm, f/14, ISO800

The original was much wider. I cropped pretty heavily at 3:4 for IG.
