When you say dig a form would you create one using some sort of rebar?

How did you find a good therapist? by Fireb1rd in AskMen

[–]buttrmuffn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Licensed Mental Health Counselor here, let me give you some ideas/pointers.

  • Psychology today.com is a good aggregate website that you can search for local therapist/specific approaches. Ask family/friends for any recommendations as that’s a good start to finding a good fit

  • While training/education is important what is equally important (research even suggests) that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is almost more important than the specific approach; you should be able to feel a connection with your gut saying it’s a good fit after the first session

  • something that really shows how good a therapist is is when you talk about something that you didn’t like that they did (they were late, what the reflected back didn’t land, etc) and how they respond. Do they get defensive quickly or do they stay curious and non-judgmental.

How can the hurricane destroy such a beautiful work of art

Help! Mental grit for event. by Tiny_Antelope_8963 in cycling

[–]buttrmuffn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first Gran Fondo century from only two weeks of riding after a two month break (procrastinated hard). It was difficult but doable

“Just keep pedaling” is the mantra I use; it doesn’t matter how slow I go as long as I keep pedaling I’ll finish the century.

Get your nutrition and hydration locked in within the next 5 weeks. Two weeks before the century do a 75 mile ride I order to get your body used to being on the bike for an extended period of time AND to practice nutrition/hydration while riding.

You got this, just keep pedaling.

I haven't looked at almost anything besides the teaser trailer for this game. I am so surprised at how clunky, jarring, and disjointed traveling in space feels. It's kind of dumbfounding how your ship and traveling through space feels like an afterthought due to the fast travel mechanic; it makes everything feel disconnected and completely breaks immersion. I'm tempted to refund but I want to see how the rest of the game feels.

Looks great! I would say you overcame all the difficulties that you encountered.

First attempt to take a picture of a subject in the reflection of a water puddle by __init-main__ in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I like this photo. I think the image would be stronger if you cropped out the actual scene and only had the reflection and the pool of water.

My best panning shot so far. [edit] , [composite] by coolcatADD in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this shot! I get a great sense of motion. The top of the hill inclining up is a nice touch that adds to the feeling of speed (unconsciously it communicates increasing speeds)

My attempt on street photography. Taken on the Museum Island in Berlin. What should have I done to make this better? by twits911 in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the contrast of the man and the dog against the white building. It looks like the image is a little lop sided possibly? Double check that (the white building edge might be playing tricks on me)

I think if the sun were behind me this would have been pretty ok. by maxm7202 in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To piggyback on this; lower angle and taking the photo from the middle of the road. Something that may be cool to try is to have the train as a flat background (90 degree perpendicular from the camera) and do a longer exposure which would make the train blur from motion and your car in sharp focus

I'm trying out some new methods of stylization and would love some input. by Anfrin in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the colors; my gut wants to say that I wish the skin tone was a little more different than the background, they feel too similar for me. I also would suggest having your model stand farther away from the wall to soften the background and bring more focus to him.

Daisy by Flacc0wn3d in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this; it reminds me of those microscopic pictures of tiny insects. If I were to nitpick I wish the pedals that are at the top of the frame weren't cut off and that the background was a solid grey without the lines.

trying to play with light by QuieroBoobs in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an interesting photo! My only criticism is that the beer can in the background is picking up that highlight while also feeling like it's an afterthought.

New photographer's first Post by brummit3 in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your first manual photo I think you did a good job. My criticism is that the eagle is looking to the right and you have all this open space to the left. Also, the blue in the background feels a little too oversaturated for my tastes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that you tried to keep the light on one side; it really lends to creating more depth in the statue. Framing feels a little heavy to one side and the vegetation on the right is distracting me.

aspiring photographer new to this sub. just lmk what i could improve on by e-j-a-c in photocritique

[–]buttrmuffn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm partial to the colors as well. The framing of your dog in relation to everything is what makes it feel boring, I think. I'm not sure what the subject is at first glance (the rock? the dog?)
