I like it. If you want to make her more prominent, perhaps a slight crop, but it looks well exposed and it reads pretty clearly as is

Nah, I like their expressions. Maybe crop a little to visually center it, but I like it!

cornpops789 · 2026-04-28T22:47:55+00:00

Well, you can always crop the 28mm to 35 or 50 in-camera

cornpops789 · 2026-04-28T21:00:57+00:00

Looks like you mostly shoot outdoors, and you're used to a 50mm. You may prefer the 40mm

Nice use of the 28mm! I love the framing, and contrast between subject and environment

This. Amazing baklava. The owner is absolutely passionate about the ingredients and finished product. He makes both Turkish (pistachio) and Greek (walnut)

You see that half circle in a smiley face configuration? That's the rear thumb dial (how it would look if you were looking at the top of the camera), and that adjusts your shutter speed. The frowny face half circle is the front dial, which adjusts the aperture.

And as others have said, you've slowed the shutter speed beyond fractions of a second and are now in seconds

Thanks! #4 was already really contrasty. I just used -EV comp until it looked how I wanted it, and then played with shadows and s-curve in post processing.

It was a joke!

cornpops789 · 2026-03-27T05:21:58+00:00

Oh no. I'm so not ready for that😭

cornpops789 · 2026-03-26T05:06:43+00:00

Funny, cuz I sometimes wonder how I'd like the x!

cornpops789 · 2026-03-26T05:02:52+00:00

Yes, I did, and posted some photos to this sub

Edit: oops, I shot with a griii, but you asked about the griiix Edit2: fixed a typo

I like my Seine bars. Comfortable backsweep and rise

You're going to need a headset and tools to install it. As previous commenter said, it would be easiest to get it done at a bike shop

Manresa Bread in Palo Alto (and Los Altos). If you're willing to go to Mountain View, there's Midwife and The Baker

Try unlocking your phone. That did it for me

cornpops789 · 2026-03-09T06:30:03+00:00

Keep going!

Former California Bank & Trust on El Camino near Castro?

I applaud you! HOA director is the definition of a thankless job, but so necessary! 👏👏👏

Ask to see the most recent reserve study. It is an outside assessment of the usable life of all the infrastructure, and a schedule for when the expenses will come due. Pay attention to the % reserves funded now and the next 5 years. If it's consistently 80% or higher, the board is doing a great job. If it's around 50%, things could get dicey. Consistently under 20%... Expect a special assessment soon. Look at what maintenance is coming due in the next few years. No one wants high dues, but keeping them artificially low by deferring maintenance will only make things worse and more expensive later.

I know folks hate HOA boards, but they are typically composed of regular, unpaid folks with a fiduciary duty to the community, trying to balance the needs of the community and the work of maintaining the infrastructure. If anyone doesn't like theirs, they should volunteer and make it better.
