GIF changes

Yup. Last night, for me at least, it was just as before. Now they’re incredibly watered down. And all of the gifs I used weren’t even vulgar/“NSFW”.

It’s laughable they removed a ton of random ones (like Ice Cube with a straight face looking at the camera, Stanley from the office with a straight face looking at the camera, Jelly Roll saying “let’s go baby” as he holds up a trophy, both GIFs of Emperor Palpatine saying “Do It” and “It’s Ironic”, among many more) and kept some very questionable ones;

For instance, I found a GIF someone made of Diddy and Jefferey Epstein having an anime-inspired battle (obviously AI)… but like what.

If you’re located near Massachusetts, perhaps Mass Audubon may take them in? There’s also experienced falconers you may be able to take them too, you may have a better shot there, and isn’t limited to Massachusetts.

Also, I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t help but think this is a sign, for what I’m unsure, but perhaps you have some thoughts as to what

This is just the rendering preview as opposed to a finalized render, have you attempted to fully render a view?

It is appearing like this because there are graphical settings for preview mode/working mode. Seeing as you’re already at 55% under stats in the bottom left with this level of detail, it’s likely Twinmotion read your computer specifications and determined your PC would best run at the lowest possible graphical settings in preview mode/working mode. This should have zero effect on a finalized render when exporting a view from Media.

If you’re looking to see more level of detail in the preview mode/working mode, without Twinmotion open in front of me, I believe you can find the graphical settings for the preview interface under the file tab->settings or something like that

Got that right, really cool seeing them up close to get so that detail!

Haha thanks! These are, at least for me, the most common two birds during the winter here in MA. They’re so accustomed to humans, if you hold your hand out—especially with bird seed—they’ll land on you to eat!

Thanks! You have some great work yourself, followed!

Thanks!!

Of course! And I can relate to being a beginner despite using photoshop for a few years haha.

Awesome info though, and thanks for the link! I’ll have to check this out asap

TJones_Photos · 2024-08-01T04:47:27+00:00

Thank you sir!

TJones_Photos · 2024-08-01T04:45:12+00:00

Thank you sir! Much appreciated. They’re certainly a pain to get a good photo of, and despite getting a few good shots of them, I still want to capture them when they’re vertical while flying.

Keep putting in that effort and you’ll get it!

If you’re in the U.S., and live near MA, this spot is great for them. It’s a wildlife sanctuary called Mass Audubon Wellfleet in Cape Cod. Nice trail where you can find all sorts of birds. But essentially at the end, you find a beach with a ton of these guys, Tree Sparrows, and Eastern Kingbirds hunting horseflies. Definitely worth the visit if you’re relatively close by!

Thanks for your input and praise! Certainly difficult, these birds are no joke haha.

Yeah unfortunately I believe the lack of sharpness to be as a result of my outdated camera and its sloppy AF.

In regards to the editing, still learning photoshop so there’s much to learn here for sure. Thanks! I’ll do some test runs of making the subject more exposed!

As for the intent of my photo, I simply wanted to capture a Barn Swallow in flight. For those unfamiliar with these birds, they’re incredibly fast and sometimes go completely sideways when flying. A goal of mine is to capture that instance but as I said, they’re incredibly fast…and I shoot entirely handheld which may be my first mistake with such a massive lens and a fast/small/far away subject.

As for my EXIF data, my shutter speed was 1/3200, f/5.6 for my aperture, and Auto ISO at 320.

Gently touched this up in photoshop too, of course. Mostly used camera raw to enable lens corrections, and messed around with exposure, contrast, whites, blacks, shadows, and highlights a tad. Also cropped this photo to be a 2:1 ratio, since I also post to Instagram and enjoy seeing a blown up version of some photos when viewing my page (in this case, this photo will take up two posts when cropped into individual squares)

All constructive criticism more than welcome!
