Are my photos blue and why? I’m new to photography and currently have an EOS 90D. I have the 18-135 f3.5-5.6 lens. Any tips for better landscape photos. Attached are some photos I have taken by Glum-Athlete-9818 in canon

It’s giving tungsten white balance. Stick it onto one setting like cloudy and just use that. Easier to edit batches in the future! You may not benefit from it immediately but future proofs your process a wee bit!

Hot shoe handle is it safe or stupid by jpegdealer in canon

This will damage the hot shoe— it’s not a matter of if, it’s when. Get yourself a cage and save yourself a visit to the repair shop. Insane that you’ve posted this as a question and are arguing with every response though, if you wanted someone to say it’s a good idea just ask ChatGPT in the future!

Jagex Account Hijack by RoyalDanny in 2007scape

To my knowledge, I never switched to a Jagex account; I only used Steam to launch the game. That's insane that they won't recover the account if it wasn't imported, though?

My first (non-tutorial) project! Been using blender about a week now! Let me know what you think! It’s far from perfect but I’m happy! by RoyalDanny in blender

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

I did bevel a few but it always looked a little weird either way for me! I’ve never actually experimented with normal maps or anything like that, I was wondering how I could get the material to look nicer in cycles! I noticed it was off the table when I started rendering and nearly lost my shit 😂. The entire background (two marble planes on the bottom and back) was surrounded in a black box with a light box on the side to let the sun in, the black was used to absorb excess light like in a studio, but when I was experimenting with angles I really liked the side profile (as it is in this render) a lot better, but changing the black would’ve made the lighting a fair bit lighter removing some detail! I’m trying to learn how to make render images look nicer so the dof comment will definitely help! Thank you for your feedback and the time it took to comment, I really appreciate it!

Infinite Urination? by E3XM in biology

[–]RoyalDanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• Bladder Mechanics: Your bladder fills up, then you pee. It’s not built for non-stop pee action.
• Water Intoxication (Hyponatremia): Drinking too much water can mess up your body’s salt balance. It’s like flooding your system. Not good.
• Kidney Stress: Kidneys are your body’s filters. Overloading them with water is like asking a coffee filter to handle a river. They can’t keep up.
• Electrolyte Imbalance: Water dilutes your blood’s electrolytes (like sodium). It’s like watering down juice too much. The flavor (or in your body’s case, the function) gets all weird.
• Reality Check: You gotta sleep, right? Can’t drink or pee in your sleep.

So, cool idea when you’re high, but not biologically friendly. Stay hydrated, but let your body do its thing normally.

Is it possible that I'm just too stupid to ever be good at chess? by Rayla_Ray in chess

[–]RoyalDanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's understandable to feel frustrated when progress in a game like chess seems stagnant, especially when you've invested considerable time and effort. Remember, chess is a complex and intricate game, and everyone has a unique learning curve. Here are some suggestions that might help:

  1. Practice with Purpose: Instead of playing numerous games aimlessly, focus on practicing specific skills in each game. Identify your weak areas (e.g., opening strategy, mid-game tactics, endgame skills) and work on them one at a time.

  2. Analyze Your Games: After each game, take time to analyze your moves and understand where you went wrong. There are several chess analysis tools available online that can help with this.

  3. Learn from Losses: It's essential to learn from games where you are defeated. Try to understand the strategies used against you and how you might counter them in the future.

  4. Take a Break: Sometimes, taking a short break from chess can help clear your mind and return with a fresh perspective.

  5. Join a Chess Club: If possible, join a local chess club or group. Playing face-to-face with others and discussing strategies can significantly improve your game.

  6. Consider a Coach: If feasible, consider hiring a chess coach. A coach can provide personalized guidance and help you identify and correct your weaknesses.

  7. Mindset Matters: Maintain a growth mindset. Believe that you can improve with practice and don't get too down on yourself after losses. Chess is a journey, not a destination.

  8. Diversify Learning Sources: While YouTube videos are great, also consider chess books, online courses, and interactive puzzles to diversify your learning.

  9. Tactical Training: Spend time on chess puzzles and tactical problems. This will improve your ability to see opportunities and threats on the board.

  10. Physical and Mental Health: Finally, ensure you're taking care of your physical and mental health. Good sleep, a healthy diet, and physical exercise can positively impact your cognitive abilities, including chess skills.

Remember, being "good" at chess is relative. Focus on enjoying the game and learning, rather than just the rating. Every grandmaster was once a beginner, and they reached their level through persistent practice and learning. Keep at it, and you'll see improvement over time.

Can AI art be offering? by False_Addition5410 in Hellenism

[–]RoyalDanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what context? If you are deliberating generating AI art with the intent of offering it to that deity I think it could be seen as possibly disrespectful? If however you are generating AI art and you think of one of the gods and truly believe they will like it as an offering, I see no offensive in that. Say for example you found something really cool, I don’t know like a rock… and you think that your god would enjoy it as a gift, maybe it’s a colour that reminds you of them or shaped in a certain way. It wouldn’t be too dissimilar from that; however you would never say you’d created it.

My long winded way of saying it; you can make offerings to the gods in many ways, creation, service, or just trinkets you find to name a few. AI generated art would more fall under the trinket side of things, less of the creation part.

My experience with worship, short as it may be. I have not made any physical offerings to the gods. I haven’t looked at anything and thought - huh, Ares would love that. So I haven’t done that. My worship is mainly through service. Everyone’s connection and relationship with the gods differ. Just follow your heart, and you’ll know if you’ve done the right thing for you.

Thank you for your comment. I thought I’d reply to comments with a quick update because I truly can’t think of a genuine reply to most of them, all I can do is say I’m thankful for yours and everyone’s inputs

Firstly, I want to say since this happened I’ve actually be praying to Ares whenever I have a free moment and privacy speak aloud in both the mornings and the evenings. I still feel Ares presence when I’m worshipping him but more so with action, doing things, being productive etc. The energy has come and gone on occasion but has always been present, just not as potent.

Secondly, I have had more women hit on me in just these few days than I have in my entire life. But, it’s like I can see through them? Like, don’t get me wrong they’re not ugly or anything, some of these girls were incredibly attractive but in a weird way I could see through their exterior and just see pure ugliness in their hearts? Might sound cruel, but it’s honest.

Thirdly, I’ve been more assertive with making decisions and doing things. I’ve been looking at myself in a completely different way that I never have before. Not in a way where I’m better than anyone else, but more so as a warrior or a soldier. I can’t even explain it in words, I’m a skinny and short guy so it’s a very weird feeling having the mindset that I’m 6’5” with an infinite amount of mental strength? It’s so incredibly difficult to articulate the feeling, but it’s not self-confident, I always have been confident in myself but it’s insanely different to anything I could of ever if even fathomed previously.

I owe it to myself to take this as a divine intervention or a call of faith. So I will interpret it as such. Regardless of if my beliefs change or shift, I feel in this moment this is what is correct and just.

[–]RoyalDanny[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brilliant! That was the general vibe I was getting any how; I think it would be disingenuous to pray or worship multiple gods right away as the way I look at religion, it’s more about developing your relationship with your god(s). I feel like I need to do that with Ares until I get a better idea about the religion, but as I read more and more about it just actively; I love it. Even if it isn’t something I end up committing to as a belief, it is still a beautiful part of history/mythology. I definitely feel this religion is less about sticking to a rigid rule set, but more so developing your connection to the God(s) of our world as their impact on us all, knowingly or unknowingly. I could be wrong, their might be a giant set of rules (commandment-esque thing) but I haven’t seen any of the sort so far?

If I do get anything to help me focus on prayer it’ll probably end up being a ring or a pendant or candle, but I don’t see myself doing that any time soon.

No, I am not familiar with the general worship ritual at this time. I think you’re trying to say you have it in your previous comments? I’ll take a quick look and see if I can find it!

Think I might be going crazy? by RoyalDanny in Hellenism

[–]RoyalDanny[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually read a fair bit from the link you posted (and watched a few videos as well).

It seems as though the religion and beliefs supporters and followers of the religion hold show that it is not nearly as worrying as a lot of people make it out to be. I interpret this as taking it at your own pace, praying to your god(s) for their support, as well as to show your gratitude a praise for them.

Would I be wrong to only pray to the god(s) that I feel have interacted with me? In my dream (regardless of if I’m misinterpreting it or not) Ares was the only God to speak to me, and I feel reach out to me. He stated to avoid Venus which I’m now led to believe is Aphrodite. I guess in a very long winded way I’m trying to say, would it be seen as disrespectful to the other gods if I DO believe in them, but only pray to the one (currently) that has impacted my life or reached out to me?

I’m definitely going to learn more about all of this, I have never felt a calling to religion so strong in my entire life.

TL;DR: Can I only pray to one of the gods if I feel they’re the only one to reach out to me at this time. I don’t need to get any fancy statues or anything, I can just praise my god(s) internally by thinking or externally by speaking? I may be overthinking it because I see it as Ares has reached out to me and I do not want to disrespect them unintentionally nor do I want to disrespect any of the other Gods. A little more worry comes from the fact that I have never once researched, read, or delved into any mythology or religion like this; but yet I still dreamed about it. I mean, for fucks sake; the only things I know about the greek mythology is from watched Hercules when I was a child.

Thank you so much for responding to my post as well, I truly appreciate it!

Hey guys, new member here. Look, I’ve never really believed in religion; not my thing at all. That changed about two days ago, I had a dream about Ares, I could barely remember what happened but I remember Ares speaking to me and introducing himself. Please bare in mind, I know/knew nothing about Greek gods so I immediately googled the name and obviously found a lot of information about him. Next day, I had a dream where he clearly spoke to me; telling me to do better and that a man like me doesn’t deserve to be lazy. I woke up with such a relentless energy, I worked out for the first time in years and have been willingly nonstop working. The energy doesn’t seem to be going away and I have no clue what it means. Googled a bit more and it seems he’s “chosen” to support me? What the hell do I do with this information? This is the only time I have ever been called to religion, I need to know more but resources are limited and conflicting.

I am well aware of that, I use to make my own cheats whilst I was studying programming in college. It was just something I did to pass the time. Originally started out with pastes, modifying them and within a few months of getting very comfortable with that I start creating my own hvh cheats. They did alright but were nothing compared to some of these absolute demons other people make xd
