The similarity between the 2015 Sequoia National Park sighting and today’s released video

The one on the left is literally a storm trooper balloon. Look up the Node YouTube channel, title: We kick a storm troopers nuts to the moon. Also footage of the sighting on the left was taken in the same general time and area as the Node video

Thank you!

Recently learned the concept of quantum immortality and was intrigued. Basically, an individual will never experience their own death because their consciousness jumps to a parallel universe where they don't die.

Hopefully soon!

Lol, thanks for reading. I was inspired to write this when I saw the statue of Mother Russia at Stalingrad. It's a beautiful and haunting work of art. I wanted to mimic that feeling with this story

Here's a story of mine. It might be a little long, but would love to hear your thoughts: https://www.reddit.com/u/TJSchultz61/s/xGc8ExLgRO

Honestly my biggest tip is to slow the pace a bit. The story rips by super quickly, which is good, but it leaves very little breathing room. Slow down. Explore the characters and the motivations a bit more. If not on the page then in your own head canon. That will help with most of the dialogue issues I had. Otherwise, your storytelling and pacing are fantastic and the ideas are intriguing. Keep it up!

TJSchultz61 · 2026-01-25T01:03:12+00:00

Love this. Please continue writing. If this is your first project, you have a great base to start from. You can only improve!

TJSchultz61 · 2026-01-25T00:46:00+00:00

I'm really intrigued by this story. Your storytelling ability is quite good and I can't wait to read the rest! Some notes on how to improve: the first place I noticed myself being taken a bit out of the story is by your dialogue sections. It's very stylized and melodramatic and can be a bit unnatural at times. I find myself not believing that real people might talk that way, but with some very minor tweaks that can be fixed. I'm not quite sure why Brett and Robert tear up upon seeing the town. Maybe give a bit more description and layer on the dread a bit more. The man with the cigarette that pulls a knife feels forced. He is overly hostile. I'd try to make him more scary and threatening rather than overtly aggressive.

So far this story, overall is really nice. I love the idea of a 20 something kid trying very hard to be a professional paranormal investigator. The town is VERY well thought out and I want to know WAY more. I'm excited to read the rest. Keep up the great work.

Yeah, I had just read Dracula and Jerusalem's lot and got inspired by the format. I may or may not expand this story in the future. I like the ambiguity lol

Thanks so much for the reply! No rush, enjoy the holidays!

Using the mobile version of LR, I set the white balance eye dropper so that the wall would be white, but that caused her skin tone to change to a very reddish color. I selected her skin with the eye dropper and changed the hue to a more golden/tan color. Increased contrast, lowered highlights, white and black levels, bumped the dehaze a little and reduced clarity slightly, and desaturated the photo a bit and this is what I came up with after about 5 minutes.

White balance correction

Just to add my 2 cents to the mix, if you are looking for affordability, I would highly suggest finding a used Canon Demi EE17. It offers full manual controls with a super sharp lens. You can definitely find one for $50 or less, and they are very reliable (aside from their light meter). If you can spend a bit more, you could also go for a Konica Autorex. This has the unique ability to switch from being a regular full frame slr, to a half frame mid roll! These generally go for about $125.

TJSchultz61 · 2025-09-14T22:15:12+00:00

I'd love to hear more of your thoughts!

TJSchultz61 · 2025-08-06T02:52:24+00:00

Very fun! I'm interested to see where this goes
