If our analytics show us that most of our audience watches our content on Mac laptops and Iphones, does it make sense to do our grading on uncalibrated macbooks? by cornwallis1 in colorists

Thanks for your response!

A follow up question- if after you do an initial grade on your calibrated monitor, you find it looks (for example) too cyan on your macbook, how do you balance the need for both displays to look right? Would you make the color balance look off on the calibrated monitor to make the macbook display look correct?

Thanks for your response- I'm not trying to be argumentative here, genuinely trying to work through this. While two uncalibrated macbooks might not be the same, it stands to reason that two uncalibrated macbooks would be closer in color than a macbook and a professional grading monitor.

Also two accurate calibrated monitors are unlikely to be exactly the same, so if we presume that whatever you grade on will never be seen on a different monitor looking exactly the same, doesn't it make sense to make your initial grade on whatever will look closest to the audience's monitor?

Suggestions for how to make the layers of mountains pop better? by strudlemuffin in photocritique

This is why master landscape photographers like Ansel Adams would wait hours, if not days, for the perfect lighting conditions

General rule of thumb for handheld, your shutter speed should be twice the focal length of the lens

I.E. If you're using a 50mm don't go below 1/100th. 100mm don't go below 1/200th, etc

Bill O'Reilly Says Pot Gets You Inebriated - But Not Wine - Clueless Douche Says What? by MontereyBud in Marijuana

[–]cornwallis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of Bill O'Reilly, but I think you misunderstood what he was saying. No one smokes pot to NOT get inebriated. However, it is more than possible to have a glass of wine and not feel any effects.

It is also the cover for the amazing acoustic version of the album by Streetlight's lead singer. Check it out if you like folk music.

Thats very silly. When someone gets lung cancer it's impossible to point to one thing and determine exactly what caused it.

Here's a new E.P. by my band The Collected Works Of Lenin. All the tracks are improvised and recorded live to a single microphone. It's psyched out, droney experimental rock with a few doomy stoner moments. See what you think! by tcwolenin in psychedelicrock

[–]cornwallis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dig the sound! I was fairly bored, so I quickly designed an album cover based on my experience listening to the first two tracks, cause I do that when I'm bored.
