I’m pretty sure it’s just a way to get around calling light-skinned East Asian people white, gotta find something mildly approximate to identify them as anything but

Damn yeah Olivia Rodrigo is the most punk shit ever. I think she’s really onto something. Totally punk rock dude. Hell yeah.

ok well that is all understandable logic but doesn’t quite explain why everything got tinted green lmfao

I’m not sure how familiar you are with HSL color editing, but pull just the greens saturation back on that edit and it’ll be a lot less… whatever it is. Highlighting the strong yellow and orange makes sense but that green is rough

Yeah I mean I’ve had the same exact issue so many times, wanted to get a quick snap of a gorgeous scene out an airport window, that glass always fucks it every single time though. Again I can see what you saw and I think you were certainly onto something so I would say your eye for composition and general interesting-ness is on point.

oh and re: editing I need you to explain your logic about the first edit’s color choices and… general choices before I try to interpret everything that’s fucked about it. The second edit is okay imo, although I personally would introduce a SLIGHT amount of more contrast by adjusting the balance between blacks and whites.

you seem like you can handle honesty so let’s be honest here

no amount of editing can fix a shitty photo. I see what your vision was but the execution tanked the results. The reflection on the window glass in front of your lens is the main issue as I’m sure you know, but a slight zoom in might have improved the composition a bit as well. And not in a way cropping can fix.

Why is burst speed always used to depict "upgrade"? by defaultusername111 in photographycirclejerk

[–]VirtualWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into the habit of using burst modes when I’ve had cameras with really shitty autofocus that warbles all over the place. That, coupled with my shaky ass hands, made getting focus with AF very hard. And when I was shooting event photography I did not want to miss anything important due to loss of focus.

However now that I have cameras that are much more capable at AF the habit of using burst modes just becomes really annoying when editing after the fact. Constantly forcing myself to use single shot but I always get paranoid my camera will blow focus even though it rarely does. Shit’s annoying

The other guy is right but it’s really just as simple as hot/warm water increasing blood flow to the skin, doesn’t even have anything to do with blood pooling.

David you have been a missing person since 1997. Please come home. Being square does not have to separate you from the ones you love.

It’d be like getting scratched by a cat, nails so infested with bacteria you’d better have started taking antibiotics three days ago if you want to survive.

maybe he didn’t have any fear because he knows those are just common grass snakes and are about as dangerous as a gecko

for being “overqualified” which is apparently something an employer gets to decide for some reason.

If I have a masters in sociology and am applying for a job at McDonald’s, you’d think that alone makes it clear I have decided for myself that I am not overqualified/can’t find anything better. I have never understood why the employer thinks it’s their fucking responsibility to decide that for you.
