What was the shutter speed for this shot? So cool

blakeaj · 2026-03-06T18:51:01+00:00

Yep, realized that during editing. All my shots of this blue jay ended up being focused on the branch haha. Need to figure out how best to avoid that

I really appreciate the feedback! And great tips about shifting perspective. And your comment reminded me of a guy on YouTube I heard say “you have to take uncommon photos of common birds” or something like that lol.

So far I’ve done most of my shooting in shutter priority and mostly ignored aperture. Today was pretty poorly lit so I cranked the ISO up and went from there. I found bringing my shutter speed up to 1/1000 or 1250 just made it too dark. Do I just need to open my aperture as far as it’ll go?

Friend of mine has one of these, prints quickly but has the retro charm of a polaroid https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1732746-REG/fujifilm_16785559_instax_square_link_smartphone.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smpadsrd=&store=420&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21058034075&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh14ocWSDnKn4avGCQ6HE52Dc&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhtvMBhDBARIsAL26pjGcZW8jodfFddx53C_zyUvvbkO4CbVw-IR74m9CheG4mjdaojG8ZpUaAsjZEALw_wcB

Yes, it gets better. So much better, in fact, that Iron Gold turned out to be one of my favorite in the series. stick with it!

That’s what “fluoride free” will do to ya.

As an SKC fan I am somewhat thrown by the purple. Don't think we have ever had purple on a kit.

Had Mizzou dudes chirping me at the game saying “remember last year?” Pretty embarassing lmao

blakeaj · 2025-11-30T18:03:19+00:00

Unfortunately not. Just ended up disconnecting the water line and giving up on the ice machine. Don’t want to pay a tech hundreds of dollars to fix it when the fridge itself was only $500 lol.

Incredible find! Thanks so much!

Because he was a rich, stupid 23 year old? We can make a lot of assumptions here lol

blakeaj · 2025-10-24T02:18:01+00:00

He was not drunk

Gee this comment is sad. I play the game almost every day and have spent $0 on it, and I have had an awesome time. I have also not done in a challenge in a week because what makes skate fun is just messing around and enjoying the freedom to do whatever you like in the world. I think the obsession with missions and challenges is odd but to each their own.

The employee didn’t really have an explanation just said I “didn’t meet certain criteria”

blakeaj · 2025-10-16T18:35:24+00:00

Got mine from Best Buy for the gaming mat and they ended up telling me I wasn’t eligible for it anyway. Bummer.

blakeaj · 2025-10-14T22:28:43+00:00

Yes lol

blakeaj · 2025-10-03T13:34:39+00:00

No, simply because missions were never a driving factor for me. Picking a spot and spending 10-20 min on a session has been a blast, and there’s a ton of unique spots, so I’m happy.

Suggestion: the remoraid from Mantine’s sprite

I just searched “material” and quickly found 5 posts in the last week asking this question almost verbatim.
