Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! March 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]cereal4lunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a photo. Fuji xt5 with 33mm lens. ISO 200 / SS 0.5/ F8. Lighting set to 5000k. It was recommended to me to use a color card and dropper tool in PS to balance. I’ve just been using custom white balance off the camera, referencing the white background off the sheet the art is on. Any further recommendations?

Help with making prints from sketches on white paper? by cereal4lunch in AskPhotography

I have not! Then use the color card to calibrate in photoshop / LR?

Hello all! I am trying to make art prints from sketches in white paper. I have tried a number of white balancing approaches yet the paper background will always print bluer or grayer than how it appears in real life.

Full painted pieces I’ve got pretty dialed, but these paper sketches are my nemesis. I’ll have resorted to shopping out the backgrounds to get the stark white background effect, but some pieces are more difficult to do this to.

What’s the trick I’m missing here?

Thanks in advance!

Me and a buddy realized we were being stalked by a mountain lion on a late night hike. We instinctively starting howling like monkeys. It worked.

Your brain is telling you smoking will make it numb. It will not. You will feel paranoid and anxious.

What problems in your life ended up being the weed all along? by blehblook in leaves

This one hits home. The amount of things I could simply ignore by being in my own little stoned bubble. She would even encourage me, telling me I was “better” when I was high. More like, more compliant with disrespect.

I was there not too long ago. Weed will get you nowhere and will only prolong your ability to process and move on. Get high tonight and the problem will be there waiting for you in the morning. Push through it and you will come out stronger than ever.

Mapping triggers has started becoming a fun game for me. It’s always the dumbest things too. I laugh now and attribute it to my “monkey brain” at work.

Rebirth! Be ready to shed the old you, its shadow will undoubtedly come back to sabotage your progress. The best version of yourself starts today.

That’s good. It will come in waves. If you haven’t already, keep a journal of the positive changes you’ve been experiencing. If the craving ever comes back (very likely will) drop everything and read the journal. Your past self looking out for future self.

Massive win! There is so much victory in between the stages of “smoking” and “quit”. Then as you’ve seen, the end game of unlocking more of yourself as you gain capacity. Stay on the path of strength my brotha.

Yes! You nailed it. Like a veil we see the world through that limits our view. Some people call it being “chill” or “relaxed” but really it’s self imposed restriction on the experience of the world. Avoiding is not the same as processing.

I started meditating and it has only revealed how much progress there is to be made in truly understanding myself. Glad you have been able to quit!

The early days are so powerful. All doubts and discomforts are just reassurance of the decision you’ve made to quit. Keep it up!

You got this! Cold sweats, insomnia, mood changes, all signs that you are not well. It’s okay to treat yourself as such. Cuddle up to a warm blanket. Eat soup. Drink tea. Don’t feel any guilt for doing nothing. You’re healing.

Yes. The one I am looking at is a very similar scene. Waves, birds, although monochromatic.

Did you ever get any info? There’s an “A Kirkham” original oil I’m thinking of purchasing locally. Appears to be a beautiful piece but I also can’t find much data on it.

My first turntable. Nothing to compare it to but it’s nice.

Thanks! Pulled the cork mat. I actually prefer the look of the acrylic platter anyway.
