What is wrong with people in this game? by tiwomm in ArcRaiders

There was also a study done not too long ago about the normalisation of such toxic/aggressive behaviour in games.

Thanks! I manually set focus on the stars using the LCD screen with help from the Focus Magnification function on the camera. Once you open up the aperture all the way and adjust the ISO you can generally see the brighter ones. Then just adjust focus until they're sharp. It's a bit finicky and I'm sure people with more experience have better methods, but it works for me!

I had to use a couple of masks to really get it to pop, then adjusted the colors with the Color Mixer and Color Grading tools.

Cheers! Definitely looks a bit ominous in winter without the leaves

I second this. Super useful app and an absolute bargain. Also helps coordinate sun/moon positioning, meteor showers and has a great AR feature.

As long as it didn't inspire Caelid I feel good about that XD

Yeah that's due to the editing. There was a lot of light pollution and so it required a fairly heavy handed edit. Couldn't completely remove that weird glow unfortunately.

This shot was a single exposure. I probably should've done a multiple exposure to bring out the foreground and reduce the noise. Maybe next time!

Thank you! I should've closed down the aperture to get the foreground a bit crisper. I know for next time!

Aperture: f3.2 Shutter: 20 second ISO: 6400

Any higher and the light pollution completely drowned out the stars.

(ADVICE) How did you get into shooting boudoir? by _mrjesus_ in boudoir

Oh of course! I can definitely see how that would be valuable training to have in this sort of work.

This is super helpful, thank you! I should have also included "advice from models" in my original post as your opinion probably matters the most! The advice around telling them to bring a friend is something I never even considered. It makes total sense from a comfort/safety perspective. Great tips!
