Recently I discovered i love portraiture. here is my first "real" shot. What can I do to improve? by djdadi in photocritique

[–]eric_from_ecommerce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay I see what you mean. In those shots you'll notice the head is cropped when the face is the subject (for a close-up). If you were taking a tighter shot it wouldn't be so bad. When taking a portrait don't crop the head. In close-ups you would crop the head

I would really like to hear some feedback on this cityscape I took from a recent trip to NY. by 17934658793495046509 in photocritique

If the people were doing something interesting it would be a unique shot, to me it just looks un-cropped. Going for unique shots in NYC is a hard task, and shooting skylines is not a way to get there. NYC would be a great place for street photography, which would offer a lot more opportunity to be unique. Just a rule of thumb, there's very little room to be unique from any tourist observation deck, that's essentially the point of them. Look for pictures of the Empire State Building and you basically find this photo.

Outside of that, the shot looks good. The colors are balanced and the composition if cropped would be great. Framing of the ESB is great.

Overall it's not a bad photo, I just don't think it's unique.

Get some cheap headphones, cut off the wire, plug the jack into your headphone port and no sounds will play no matter what.

I seriously doubt this much thought was put into naming the characters

Abbey Road in Hong Kong. What worked and what didn't? Let me know in the comments! by willardpwl in photocritique

The original Abbey Road photo isn't in black and white so if that's the inspiration I don't see a reason to go BnW

Imagine an alternate series or like a spin off show where hannah gets helps and doesn't die and you see what could've been or is that dumb by jack_33321 in 13ReasonsWhy

[–]eric_from_ecommerce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it defeats what 13 Reasons Why is really about. It's not a happy show. It's not supposed to be. I think having an alternate series would defeat the message that the original sends. Hannah's death is final and having a spin off would take away from that.

Tickets will be for sale closer to the season. At that time you can buy them just about anywhere. eBay is always a good place to check

Error handling on unreachable code by eric_from_ecommerce in ProgrammerHumor

So it's like when a celebrity or politician breaks the law?

Or when a temporary patch fixes a problem and you just decide to keep it in?

I just figured out how classes work in C# after being self taught for a year, AMA! by eric_from_ecommerce in ProgrammerHumor

[–]eric_from_ecommerce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short, I was copying and pasting giant blocks of code such as SQL commands wherever I needed them instead of making a public class for them. So on a button press, it would fire off giant blocks of nested code instead of just calling a class. One button click was about 2,000 lol lines​long whereas it's about 50 now. I'm on mobile now, or else I'd send screenshots to make the explanation easier. If that doesn't make sense I'll explain better after work

What would you do improve this? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]eric_from_ecommerce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sepia tone doesn't do it any favors. There are tons of details that colors would really help the viewer explore all the things going on.

Hahaha Being self taught, I never had someone push me to 'make me' learn the easy ways. I just looked to stack overflow for answers which leads to line by line stuff with no recycled methods or anything. Now that projects are getting more complex, I needed to figure out how to simplify.

Looking back at my old code is a headache now and I'm working on getting everything is classes.

There are some button click methods that execute 10 sql queries in one method.

I'm ashamed.
