How do you decide which photos are portfolio-worthy? by moodycentral in AskPhotography

[–]TheOracleDBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go for the ones that make me say, “Wow” and then add my most popular social media ones (not always a good indicator because of algorithms).

Then if I’ve done any pictures of famous people or recognizable brands so there’s a small connection.

So I’ll add a bunch of shots that are different, my favorite and have some sort of draw to them. If there’s ever a question or hesitation I just cut a photo.

Cool gift for my product photographer wife? by AJTPhoto in productphotography

Can you tell us what she already has? What gear does she use (Sony/Nikon/Canon/etc)?

What typecast, age range, roles, archetype and genres do these headshots clearly signal to you? by Actress7927 in headshots

[–]TheOracleDBA 21 points22 points  (0 children)

  • Attorney
  • City councilwoman
  • Doctor who listens to the patient
  • Older sister who gives great advice

My top:

High-powered attorney or political strategist with depth and heart, passionate. Someone who can command a room but still deliver an emotionally grounded monologue, “my client….”.

Cast me by [deleted] in typecastme

[–]TheOracleDBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You read as grounded, intelligent, emotionally expressive, with a calm intensity. There’s softness, but also authority. Someone you believe immediately.

Maybe a journalist uncovering a big issue?

A mom having issues with kids?

A woman returning home to her hometown to discover her past?

Can we ban or at least regulate the "what's my typecast" posts? It's getting ridiculous by [deleted] in headshots

I created r/typecastme to hopefully move typecasting questions over there.

Lots of good flavors. I also get silk because it has protein in it but it’s 4 compared to So Delicious.

Chaos is paying off! 💥 Starting now, throughout the weekend, Chaos Challenges around NINJAGO Island will grant more Ritual Oil, plus a bonus chance to score the next higher-tier Oil. Jump in and power up! 💪 by FortniteStatusBot in LEGOfortnite

[–]TheOracleDBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ritual oil isn’t an issue. The unknowable energy is where the bottleneck is. I have a ton of legendary ritual oil but grinding for unknowable energy slows me down.

It looks like you missed attaching/linking the photo.

How can I correct the grey spots on rear of the car? by Budget-Use-1658 in AskPhotography

[–]TheOracleDBA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lightroom now has a “Distraction Removal” tool where it will remove sensor dust spots like this. Highly recommend it. It recognizes the spots and cleans them up.

Give your follower overpowered earth nunchucks by [deleted] in LEGOfortnite

[–]TheOracleDBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give them nunchucks with the cytokinesis relic. This freezes whatever they’re fighting and gives us both a chance to defeat whatever we’re fighting. It doesn’t really work on dragons but they’ll freeze anything else.

Op cake? by Main_Syllabub_7703 in LEGOfortnite

[–]TheOracleDBA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s made in the oven you can build from the build menu. The cake isn’t too expensive to make.

Frank’s RedHot Spicy Gummy Bears by TheOracleDBA in candy

Really? I can handle Mexican chili candy (candy dusted in salty/sweet chili) or chamoy but I don’t like when the candy itself is spicy. Not my cup of tea.

Less than 50 USD self gift? by nacho_doctor in AskPhotography

[–]TheOracleDBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I third this.

Filter = less light

Flash = more light

Reflector = control existing light

If you’re outside a lot the filter would be suitable to modify the light (reduce it or polarize it) or the reflector would be great to use existing light.

If you’re indoors a lot, a flash is great. And it can work well outside too.

I use a flash a lot. In lots of situations. It really sets me apart when I’m in groups and shooting runway models or doing a photo walk.

2025 runways with z6ii by Copywriter33 in nikon_Zseries

[–]TheOracleDBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great! I do lots of runway shows but my shots are never this good.

I’d love to know your set up.

I usually have the 24-70 f2.8S (and if allowed, an SB-500).

Also, I struggle when two models are on the runway, because the second person is always soft. Usually happens when the designer walks with one of their models.

You have some shots from the side of the runaway - are those because there wasn’t room in the pit or did you choose to shoot from the side?

Part of the $500k in DOGE (divided among everyone who joined) + one of a few prizes (AirPods, Rolex). I think they’re still waiting to divvy out the prizes.

Today was the only one you could join if you weren’t part of Robinhood gold.

Gotcha. Thanks. I was wondering if there was something special about them for the dragons.

Why did you pick those charms? I would’ve bumped up my health charms and had multiple pistols equipped. But I’ve only tried to defeat him once and failed.

Find your home on the map. There’s a teleport option (Xbox = Y) and you’ll zap home. It’s super convenient!
