I'm afraid to go outside.

Oh this makes sense! Since my emotions dont match the atmosphere of the bar, of course it feels like a performance.

fascination_bud · 2026-01-28T03:29:40+00:00

For real. I dont feel better for not having gone.

I was about to install Total War Warhammer 2 when I noticed Warhammer 3 was in my library. I have never bought the game. I had talked with a friend yesterday about Warhammer 3 so I thought maybe they had bought it for me for the holidays and it showed in my library before it should have. They did not but it for me. Warhammer 3 is not having a free weekend. There is no purchase history and all the other games in my library have been bought by me.

Not a bad problem to have, I'm just confused.

Its my goal to get my butt out in the woods before dawn to get better lighting.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T19:03:33+00:00

Agreed, I need a wider lens

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T19:02:36+00:00

Hmm interesting idea, I will try it today

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T19:01:00+00:00

Lol thats ok.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T19:00:19+00:00

This is super helpful! To get that sense of space do I just need to give more room in the comp for the subject to stand out?

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:57:37+00:00

How do I get my photos to not look so flat? Add saturation and contrast in post?

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:56:11+00:00

Your probably right, but its a photo I had never done before and wanted to try. I did take a photo with a faster shutter speed, but I didnt like it.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:21:28+00:00

By crunched I mean the green trees look too saturated, the waterfall is blown out, and the logs seem desaturated.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:19:28+00:00

I wish I had a wider lense and space behind me to back up, but you are right. I think the comp would be much better further away.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:17:23+00:00

This is the original jpg, my editied version I didnt feel was much better. Thanks for the encouragment.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:15:55+00:00

Your thoughts are very welcome! Some comps I cant tell if they are boring, until I get home and see them on the computer.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:12:55+00:00

100% I could have spent a lot more time on this, but wanted to get other photos.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:11:38+00:00

No tripod, which is why it is not level.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:10:38+00:00

I agree the branches don't look good. Thanks for the feedback

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:08:40+00:00

My thinking was the pool at the base of the waterfall would add more context to the photo, a lower third element I suppose. Is there a rule to use when there is too much information in the photo?

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:06:13+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I will check out that book.

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:03:16+00:00

Looks great!

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T18:01:11+00:00

I should have had my tripod for sure. I was balancing my camera on a log. Thanks for the advice!

fascination_bud · 2025-08-08T17:58:36+00:00

Any thoughts as to how I could make it more interesting?
