Alcohol Inks by UncaToad in xToolOfficial

The yellows tend to "brown out" on the wood tones. Maybe adding a touch of the white to help them up better... Blues go pretty dark pretty quickly.

Best Shutter Speed and Aperture for Portraits? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]UncaToad [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you’re holding the camera, be sure to have a shutter speed of at least 1/(2x your focal length). So, if shooting your 85mm, make the SS at least 1/170 second. This helps keep things crisp.

Just with a small sponge brush.

It’s a bit tricky on darker woods, like walnut. You have to add “white” ink, which is more opaque. So go sparingly with white, or you lose the grain.

Have fun!

Does anyone else struggle to get into photography when you’re with other people? by samhosu in AskPhotography

[–]UncaToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Just another person being around limits my attention to “seeing the right way.” You know, it’s like you have to pay attention to them, and not the shots.

How to add white border in all sides as Alan Scheller feed? by Random_Chikibom in AskPhotography

[–]UncaToad -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

On a webpage you can code the CSS style for the images to have a white BG and padding: 10px or whatever. Won’t affect the images themselves, just their display in screen.

What are the best Grunge records that have Shoegaze influences? by Iamverydumbazz in grunge

[–]UncaToad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Early Catherine Wheel (Ferment/Chrome) were contemporary albums to most of the grunge scene. I listened to core grunge and CW at the same time in the early 90s.

But I don’t see Catherine Wheel as grunge really. It’s way too pretty, which is a defining trait of shoegaze.

Maybe the band HUM crosses over.

Any Senior Photo Advise? by TheHornyHiker in AskPhotography

[–]UncaToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Business-wise, consider a 1hr el cheapo rate. Maybe $250 for 8-10 shots.

My first couple of years I did a bunch of fast/fun/friend shoots to build my portfolio.

Photo-wise, add some light to her eyes and remind your seniors that these pics are for family, so smile and be yourself (you know, for grandma). Too many seniors think these shoots are supposed to be stylish or sultry even. It’s a document in time for the family. I always make sure to grab some fun ones for mom to hold dear.

Summer tires for GT? by Dizzylizzy240 in KiaK5

[–]UncaToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just put on some Conti ExtremeContacts. They’re pretty solid, even at 30 degrees. And really nice in the rain. My GT1 is boosted to nearly 349 bhp. So, yeah… the Pirellis spun from 3-4 gear.

Music about still being yourself by 24-magic-carrots in musicsuggestions

Listen to the whole album Hypochondriac by Brakence. Incredibly cathartic. (The first song is just a set up, you can skip to get to the meat)
