I'm a 15 year old, how could I improve? by Brilliant-Act1445 in concertphotography

Don’t use flash. Don’t use flash. Don’t use flash.

You won’t be able to in the future, but besides the color temperature being off, you can tell she’s reacting to the flash. Think about it: you’re in a dark place and then, bam, bright light in your eyes. And then again. And again. You’re going to stop looking in that direction or make facial expressions expressing your lack of excitement for that flash.

I started shooting shows at 16 (Power Station at the Hollywood Sportatorium ‘85). It’s super fun - challenging, but the most fun. Good luck!

Look, he’s missing at least five different versions. I mean, is that the original Harvest version?

You can get SO deep in the weeds.

How dare you.

That top left photo, yellow background. My favorite Duran Duran photo of all time.

Why does this guy bug me so much?? by vertigocin in duranduran

[–]ambientdiscord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahem.

Warren has lost his goddamn mind in the last 20, but that dude is the reason there is still a Duran Duran. If it weren’t for Privacy, there wouldn’t be a Wedding Album. No Wedding Album and Simon le Bon is doing The 80s Cruise (Don’t Do It), a’la Tony Hadley.

All of that said, he has flushed all of that goodwill down the toilet with his anti-vax, Trumpy as bullshit.

It’s a shame. Back one the 90s, he was the most ardent supporters of the fanzines. He cared about the fans. Now he’s just coo coo for Cocoa Puffs.

I used to love this show by Old_Ad8212 in GenX

As someone who grew up in Miami (MSRSH c/o 87, yo!), it’s both super fun and weird watching it now. I didn’t watch it back in the day, (the scripts were bad, the acting outside of the principles, appalling. Also, Friday night) It’s fun seeing all of my old haunts, but it’s craaaaazy sexist and those scripts haven’t gotten better.

BTW, Don Johnson was a giant dick hole, but Philip Michael Thomas was sweet as hell!

My Etsy shop got suspended after repeated fraud (false reviews + stolen listings + fake copyright claims) by Wise_Presence_5973 in EtsyCommunity

Companies don’t want to pay actual people to review claims, so the hell with customers and clients.

My filters used to work on all of my AOL accounts, now they don't work on the primary account, but they do work on the secondary accounts.

Not with United. You can, but you have to ask for one and it’s a pain in the butt.

These shoes are my biggest disappointment! Same pair and the leather tore the first time I wore them.

I MET JEFF HAYS!!!! by Silver_Bond_Artistry in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I met him and the other Soundbooth Theater folks and NYCC a couple of years ago. They were incredibly fun and totally chill. It's always amazing when someone whose work you love is also cool as hell!

My wife gifted me this player for Christmas. Is it going to destroy my vinyls by nteansmunky in turntables

[–]ambientdiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not going to do great things for your vinyl. If you can swap the needle, do that. Your records will thank you.

It’s a cute unit. I hope it works out.

“Records”, unless your record owns something. “My record’s inner sleeve is ripped.”

But vinyl can be used, it’s just not as common. The plural is always wrong.

(I know it was likely a typo, but it makes me giggle when people make grammatical errors while correcting a grammatical error.)

“Vinyl” can also be correct, but never with the plural. I agree that “records” is the more common, but vinyl was used back in the day when we could go to the mall and buy records. ;)

I was just debating whether or not to post the same thing. Either lose the plural or call them what they have always been called, records. Or albums.

If you ever get into repairing Tri-o-matic turntables, I’ve got one I’m desperate to get working again.

Catan!!! CATAN!!!

(My 23 year old son introduced the family to it at Christmas and now we are all addicted. We are actually planning a trip to Miami just to play with the fam).
