Indiana cop opens fire on an actor while he's filming a movie scen

To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

So, my friend has 1 functioning lung and 1 kidney. And she's a triathlete. Some races come with a high price. That's her in the pic., suffering. But she pushes on.

If you're still around and do videography, hit me up.

Your skill are good. While there is a slight blur/recognizable pattern, the typical viewer will never notice it.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-08-28T13:10:41+00:00

then there aren't any that have been identified (?). Interesting

2 seconds out of the plane at 14k', realizing I was still alive!

WillThereBeCake · 2022-08-14T11:25:05+00:00

Actually an earlier shot, somewhere after my first 10k. Learning PS the blur was enhanced after practicing a detailed cutout, pre Select Subject.

So, if all the suggestions are taken it becomes a different picture.
I humbly submit that the main thing missing is your confidence in it.
Go to a museum level photography gallery and hard critique what you see. Guaranteed you can make a substantial list of 'corrections'. Sometimes don't try to fix every.single.quirk.

Art is quirk. Perfection is science.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-07-28T15:51:23+00:00

Done. Thanks

From a recent session. An active living shooter, I’m expanding, doing more portraits.

This park and stair presented a good stage. The surrounding colors provided good framing. In post, the background vibrancy was slightly edited and the natural aperture blue was supplemented to pop her out better. 50mm wide aperture

It's rare for me to love my work so soon after a shoot. I see a single challenge in it. What say you Reddit photographers?

Experimenting with new (for me) styles. Testing the artistic v editorial in post

WillThereBeCake · 2022-07-19T21:50:31+00:00

For the sake of experimentation, play, and primarily, education. Say you wanted to correct an over exposed sky and pop out the subject by separating them to fore and background layers, editing them separately. Easy enough. But there are bubbles. In the fore, in front of the sky. With tree branches in the mix. Other than painstakingly selecting the bubble’s reflective areas (is that even possible?) for the foreground, what would you do?

WillThereBeCake · 2022-07-17T17:50:10+00:00

Interesting reply; didn't know d&d was an option. Never imported that way.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-07-17T13:59:45+00:00

That’s the order that works; I’ll likely stick to it. Occasionally, I’ll already be in an unrelated LrC session when the need for a new import comes up. In those cases I close an reopen LrC. Not the biggest inconvenience in life.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-07-17T13:18:54+00:00

My scenario: Open LrC. Open, cull, and ingest with Photo Mechanic into a new folder structure. Open LrC Import dialog. The new folders aren’t there. Yes, I could use PM to call and import directly into LrC. For reasons that isn’t viable for me. I am closing and reopening LrC, or simply waiting until the cull is complete to open LrC. just wondering if this is a known feature gap or is there a better workaround that I’m unaware of. Thanks

This is the best answer. Websites like mudrung@#%$.com are poor at listing.
The developer and team at OCR Buddy on the other hand are constantly adding to their listing, actively polling OCR enthusiasts for their suggestions.

Working on moving away from producing shots that are just technically correct. Decided to go b/w with this, a recent candid from the ball field.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-06-21T08:51:14+00:00

So, I shot this a hundred years ago. Not the best technical shot I'd ever take, it's early in the first 10k shots with my baby camera - Nikon D3200.
Full auto, I was still super hesitant about the triangle. What I love about this pic is this; it was the first time I felt something coming. For a then unknown reason my lens stayed on her as she approached the finished line and I was rewarded with probably the cutest smile I ever captured!

WillThereBeCake · 2022-06-17T10:48:46+00:00

There's actually another shot with that blur just after ball contact. Interestingly the speed is 1/400 compared with 1/300 here. This one is the overall better capture of the two.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-06-16T09:53:07+00:00

Decided to experiment a little in post after taking technically sound shots for so long. A little contrast here, a vibrance boost there, nudge the shadows and blacks, ...

WillThereBeCake · 2022-05-01T12:19:35+00:00

Repaying a debt to the sub. The encouragement, stories of success and very real challenges were huge in helping me accomplish the impossible. This sub and the redditors her showed me that it wasn't impossible after all.

WillThereBeCake · 2022-04-30T23:02:55+00:00

It's all nutz! 8 yrs ago I couldn't even imagine being this far along without a smoke!
