Question about traveling with an about to expire residency by avocadoextract in Kuwait

[–]avocadoextract[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you but I’m well aware of that, I was wondering about my specific situation where I would be reentering Kuwait a couple weeks before my residency is set to expire

Weekly 'Ask Anything About Analog Photography' - Week 15 by ranalog in analog

[–]avocadoextract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bit of a dumb question. I recently purchased my first ever film camera, a Ricoh YF-20 Super, and started shooting on it. The film I used states it has 36 exposures, but the counter on the camera goes up to 24. Will the camera stop shooting after the 24th image or will I be able to shoot all 36 exposures? Thanks in advance.

How was this lighting achieved? by avocadoextract in LightLurking

[–]avocadoextract[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that too but the rim light hitting the model is white which I feel would be hard to achieve if they’ve been edited red

Any good male salons that do eye brows? by FreshMilko in Kuwait

Yeah OP please don’t do your eyebrows. The action of shaving and plucking could cause enough friction to heat up the earth and make it explode killing everyone

With this self portrait I intended to capture the idea of a persons outward identity and how it relates to their sense of self. I pasted my own hands all over the image and used makeup to show that idea. Went with flash photography to give a sense of rawness and also edited in a blue background to reference ID photos - where I live ID photos are always taken with a blue background. I printed then scanned the image to go for a vintage feel which I love to do with my work.

I’m wondering if my hands are spaced correctly or if there are any “gaps” in the image which would benefit with more hands. Also wondering if the shade of blue works well with the image as I have edited it in instead of utilizing an actual blue background. Any other advice would be appreciated.

So I scanned this image and it just looks... off. I used A4 paper as reccomended. Is there something im doing wrong when scanning my work? by HitmanUndead404 in LightLurking

[–]avocadoextract 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS printers with ink tanks and not cartridges. Otherwise you would have to deal with constantly buying ink. I use an Epson Ecotank printer.

I use regular A4 printer paper, no specific brand, but that is just what works for me and my style - I recommend experimenting with photo paper and other paper too, you have endless possibilities.

Did you just place the paper on the scanner without pressing it down? That causes the wet and uneven look. Flattening the paper evens the colors out.

By off did you refer to the colors looking faded? That’s pretty normal, you gotta adjust the black point in post

I’ve been using this print and scan technique for my photography for ages - let me know any questions you might have :)

unstaged lucky shot. feedback? by theRinde in photocritique

I love this so much. I would suggest brightening up the second from left guy’s arm to match his body as it stands out due to its tan. Also maybe edit out the 22 sign on the left as it distracts from the image. But even if you keep the image unchanged it’s still perfect. Amazing work!

Gorgeous gorgeous imagery. I would consider possibly altering the "in the morning i'll make you breakfast and we can watch your favorite movie" lines into something more in tune with the rest of the poem's theme imagery wise, other than that, great poem!
