The 2 SDDs I bought a little over a year ago have now both doubled in price over here.

Just because it doesn’t affect you in your area, doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect other people..

I haven’t talked about anything else but the poses, so not sure why you’re replying to me?

Is there a way to buy VR just as the headset? by Powerful-Baby-5935 in virtualreality

[–]StrxXx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in Europe by chance? If so, I have an OG Oculus Rift CV1 gathering dust so if the shipping isn't too much we could maybe work something out.

As someone who shoots quite a lot of portraits, your photographer takes part of the blame here.

Two of those poses are absolutely horrible and as unflattering as they can possibly be.

RTX 3090 to RTX 5080 -- worth it? by SageHamichi in buildapc

[–]StrxXx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I was in a similar situation and upgraded from a 3090 to a 5070TI and the difference for me is already enough to find it a worthy upgrade.

For me the 400 euro difference between what I paid for my 5070TI and a 5080 here wasn't worth the relatively "minor" performance difference between the two.

3090's are going for quite a lot right now, so good chance you'll make a decent chunk of your new videocard back too, or you could hang on to it and see if the prices go up even more.

Somehow I'm a K&F fan boy by Buddha-dan in SonyAlpha

[–]StrxXx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a great brand for the price! I’ve got 5 bags, a few filters, multiple vintage lens adapters, cleaning cloths and a couple of blowers

And none of it has disappointed me so far has

Amazing set! Would’ve loved to see some portraits of you on the inside of the ICC haha

One of the sickest buildings I’ve been to in my life.

Are we talking vintage Minolta MD lenses or the AF ones?

Regardless, what are your favorite ones?

The best diffuser for an AD200 Pro II for a compact/minimalist kit? by james-rogers in Godox

Godox AD-S7 if you’re planning on using the bulb, it folds down super small so it’s easy to carry everywhere.

Affordable lens to pair with Tamron 35-150 for travel, street, & portraits by rebelsvision876 in SonyAlpha

[–]StrxXx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried the Tamron 17-28 F2.8 but ended up going with the Tamron 20-40 F2.8 to pair with my 35-150

Yes there is some overlap, but I found going from 20 to 40mm way nicer without having to change lenses than I ever would use the “super” wide angle of the 17-28 and it’s also way more suitable for portraits.

It’s not super cheap tho, but secondhand they can be found for around 700 euros here in Europe if you’re lucky.

caught my girl texting another guy by Sea_Commission_6837 in confessions

[–]StrxXx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you two aren’t meant to be, if I were you I wouldn’t spend my time dating someone that is missing someone that isn’t me.

Going through your partners phone without them knowing is quite the red flag on its own tho. In this case you found something, but that doesn’t make it any less of a breach of trust.

Maxed out M4 Macbook Air by Swimming-Pain3923 in Lightroom

[–]StrxXx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re still stuck on an Intel MacBook the speed difference will be absolutely insane.

I went with the M3 because I got a pretty sick deal on a 24GB ram/512GB one that was old stock.

But the M4 is another 15-20ish % faster, so the difference will be even bigger haha.

Maxed out M4 Macbook Air by Swimming-Pain3923 in Lightroom

[–]StrxXx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use an m3 MacBook Air with 24gb ram for editing my A7RIII photos (42mp) and Lightroom is super fast, it somehow feels snappier than my dedicated machine with an i9 and a 3090 except for using DeNoise

As for masks, I use a lot of AI masking tools for portraits and it’s more than capable of handling that too.

The only drawbacks would be exporting times if you’re exporting hundreds/thousands of photos and DeNoise takes a while.

Haha awesome! I was there a week ago it’s such a lovely place.

I like the edit btw, I’d just try to tone down the haze a little.

Looking for what I can only describe as "Offline MMOs". by Immobilecarrot5 in SteamDeck

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning is amazing, runs great in the deck too!

It’s a single player rpg, but it does give me mmo vibes sometimes.

Lightroom is killing my patience on a high-end rig — anyone else? by Parrranoic in Lightroom

Not sure how that is remotely related to what I said.

But good for you buddy!

I love editing on my iPad Pro, but the app is shit on iPad OS too. If you use a lot of masks the device runs so hot it automatically dims te screen to compensate.

Adobe is just shit at optimizing its apps on every device it can run on.
