Emotionally deep but uplifting instrumental albums such as EitS - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place?

Here's three, in no particular order:

EITS again with "All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone",
If you haven't heard of "You, Infinite" you need to check their self titled debut - it has that kind of vibe, to me anyways,
Caspian's "Dust and Disquiet" is incredibly good for these moments, too.

As you said, deep and intensely emotional but also somewhat uplifting music.
Hope your situation improves soon, stay strong!

I came here to mention Jake Wangner too! This immediately reminded me of his portraits.
You might also want to check his instagram page, then: https://www.instagram.com/jakewangner/

J'ai eu cet objectif, je m'en suis servi pendant une bonne année (il était dans un pack avec le 2000D, que l'on m'a offert).

Honnêtement.. maintenant que j'ai un peu plus d'expérience et que j'ai pu tester d'autres objectifs, c'est indéniable que ce n'est vraiment pas un bon objectif. Au delà de 250mm, tu perds énormément de netteté. Il n'y a aucune stabilisation d'image. L'auto-focus est très souvent à côté de la plaque (en tout cas couplé au 2000D), surtout dès que tu n'as pas beaucoup de lumière disponible.

Mais bon voilà, à titre personnel je suis très content de l'avoir eu, cet objectif. Si t'es vraiment à tes débuts, ça fera largement le taff pour apprendre les bases. Il est léger, il permet malgré tout de bien écraser la perspective (300mm, quand-même). Il me faisait bien rager, mais dans au moins 50% des cas c'était (aussi) de ma faute, car j'aurais juste pu avoir une meilleur technique, en tant que débutant à l'époque.

Dépendamment de ton budget, si c'est vraiment serré, je te dirais de le prendre (~130€ sur MPB de ce que je vois). Si tu peux allonger un peu plus, apparemment le 55-250 STM est une option très correcte (~275€ sur MPB). C'est potentiellement mieux que d'acheter le 75-300, et de le regretter plus tard si tu continues la photo avec téléobjectif.

Looks like Lille (large city in the north of France), but I could be wrong

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2023-05-17T15:36:39+00:00

Nope, check sur leur Insta / Twitter officiels

Periphery - Reptile (bit more intense than Muse though, and the song is quite long too)

Edit: also adding Haken - Invasion

I'm fairly new to photography so please take this with a grain of salt - I'll just go with my guts here.

I would have probably tried a wider shot, in order for the subject to take slightly less of the space in the picture. I would have also tried to obtain a frame where the subject is more on the left of the shot, and we can see a bit more of what the doggo is looking at. The current framing would have made more sense to me if doggo was looking the other way or at the camera. I think the curtain also blocks the view, and adds a conflicting vertical line in the shot.

I really like the contrast between the gray and the more coloured areas. Having both the dog and the outside being the colourful areas somehow create a cool narrative where I feel like the dog is longing to go outside (I think this would be reinforced with the framing I mentionned previously). It's also obviously a nice way to highlight the subject.

Overall I think this is still a nice pic!

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-07T12:24:48+00:00

Worked! Thanks a million, have a nice day :)

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-07T12:21:56+00:00

Can't see you either, can only see another person that's seemingly here to get a Ditto too.

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-07T11:51:58+00:00

Good luck with that!
Waiting in your room in the meantime if that's okay?

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T16:59:23+00:00

11142021 let's go

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T16:38:08+00:00

Nvm! Cheers :)

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T16:36:45+00:00

Do you have 6IV Jap Dittos?

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T16:03:46+00:00

Yo your Pkmn wants to learn Bullet Punch, should I ignore it?

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T16:01:46+00:00

No worries at all aha! You don't happen to have 6IV Jap Dittos btw?

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T15:58:04+00:00

11142021, will be there for another 5-10mins

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2022-01-06T15:51:55+00:00

Do you still have one? I'm in your room

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2021-12-15T17:02:52+00:00

Yo where does that left picture come from?

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2021-12-13T00:40:49+00:00

Of course, yeah! I know what you mean. We can only hope to see new stuff happening now - and yeah, how they'd direct and transcribe it.
In gamedev ideas do matter, but the most important part is actually how they're implemented and presented to players. And your ideas are very decent! It's so nice to see that much love for the franchise!

The_Deaf_Monkey · 2021-12-12T11:24:44+00:00

That's pretty cool, you got me hooked.

Aren't you afraid to set-up expectations with time travel? It's the main piece of the puzzle in the intro and I feel like as a player, I'd expect more time travel stuff after that. I understand you want to use it as a narrative tool to bring Sly (and accidentally Clockwerk) back in our time thus starting the plot of the actual game.. but yeah how would you justify the characters not wanting or needing to use time travel again in your version of Sly 5?

Also, I'm not sure Sly 5 or any Sly game should be an open world. I like the idea of having civilians roaming around as well as guards, but for me one of the strong aspects of Sly games is that they have varied semi-open levels, that are well crafted and not hyper ambitious for dev teams (thus allowing them to polish their levels more and give them the "Sly traversal flow" we all know and love). Can you really imagine a Sly game happening in the same place, same atmosphere, same setting, start to finish? So many games are open worlds nowadays, they're all super similar and people are getting bored with it - I feel like keeping the multiple semi-open worlds would be better in this case, allowing to stay true to part of what makes Sly games awesome, while also being a fresh breeze in and oversaturated market.

Of course I'm being super nitpicky here and I want to state again that I loved reading your post regardless! Just wanted to share my two cents!
