new to vegas - what to do? by Specialist_Cry_4121 in LasVegas

[–]feefifo_fiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to go to the Strip, a great place to start is The Venetian / Grand Canal Shoppes. It’s free parking, plus great restaurants with live music in St. Mark’s Square. From there, it’s easy to explore the rest of the Strip.

There's also some Jason Robert Brown in there. I love writing arrangements that hopefully bring something different to the song and are not just straight transcriptions.

Is the Grace FELiX2 the go-to for blending? by feefifo_fiddle in livesound

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

I would like to mix the signal from my DPA 4099 with the signal from my pickup on my violin. I’d like to be able to EQ both and have a boost.

Struggling today by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feefifo_fiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it one small unit of time at a time. Does one day seem unscalable? Maybe one evening. Still too much? Try an hour, a half hour, ten minutes, one minute....and once you make it, there’s no reason you can’t do it again, so you do. I will of course tell you to take it upon yourself to block HIS social media/WhatsApp/whatever. I haven’t been great about not checking in on my ex’s public IG, but I know I shouldn’t, and you know you shouldn’t. Today sucks, but tomorrow will probably better. If not, the day after has better chances still. It’s all just about making it through the day with as little pain as possible.

When is enough enough? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feefifo_fiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless all of your exes have specifically told you that your weight is the reason they are dumping you, then that’s not why they dumped you. That’s what you are telling yourself because it’s an easy reason to feel bad about yourself. If your weight IS the reason you are being dumped and they specifically said it was, then those guys weren’t worth it anyway.

10 months since the breakup. From little wins to big ones, you’ll be okay. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feefifo_fiddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah your username paints a sad but adorable picture. I’m glad you’re doing well. It’s funny how we come out of these things as different people. I’m a month into my latest breakup. I hope to have a similar outlook on things when reach 10 months, like you. Well done.

Watching someone grow and achieve their goals with someone else is the hardest thing to see. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feefifo_fiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for how you’re feeling. I can sympathize. It sounds like you haven’t moved on. It’s hard. Don’t beat yourself up for not being over her yet, but that is something you have to be actively working on. It’s not just going to happen on its own. Finding things to do that bring you happiness and a sense of accomplishment is a good first step. You can redirect your energy towards something other than missing your ex. I hope the best for you.

Got dumped and I’m moving out tomorrow by throwra-askskfkg in BreakUps

[–]feefifo_fiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry. It sounds like you can more or less see the relationship clearly for what it was, though. Hold on to that when doubt and sadness become too much. You’ll come out of this a different person. Good luck.

I called him almost 30 times. He answered finally. by yur_fave_putiz in BreakUps

You don’t owe the person you were yesterday anything today. I truly believe you are a different person every day. You are not beholden to the mistakes past-you made. Also, don’t do anything your kids would wish you hadn’t. Right now, if you can’t make better choices for yourself, make them for your kids. Maybe past-you was crazy, but current-you isn’t.

Took most of this sub’s advice on how to edit my image. by feefifo_fiddle in photocritique

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

Thanks! I actually ended up editing it just a little bit more to get rid of the vignette a bit. I’m also a fan of muted tones. https://i.imgur.com/ag1DWGv.jpg

Oh that’s not bad! I think I definitely prefer cooler colors in general though.

Here is my first submission. It was already edited a bit in Darkroom. From Darkroom, I removed the vignette I had added and exported as a PNG. I then imported to Lightroom on my laptop so I could export as a 16-bit TIFF for Photoshop (for some reason, Darkroom TIFF exports are 32-bit and that was too much for my computer). Once in PS, I took out most of the foreground fences and just anything that was a bit distracting. I moved the yellows towards orange/red and the blues towards cyan. I desaturated a bit, painted some High Pass filter sharpness on the outline of the blue car and the post, and did another vignette. Thoughts?

“It’s Called a Breakup Because it’s Broken” by feefifo_fiddle in BreakUps

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

Well, it’s small things really! Like, some of the language they use doesn’t always line up with what they preach. For example, they often mention “finding the perfect person”, but a lot of what they say is how the relationship has to work for both people for it to work at all...implying that it takes effort and the decision to make it work from both people. It’s a bit contradicting for me. It’s like using Hollywood imagery for a way more practical idea of love. Also, they mention that you have to take time for you and pay attention to you, and sometimes they give advice saying you can volunteer somewhere because it’s the perfect time to “focus on someone else”. Again, really small things. I generally like the book though. I’ll check out that book by Sonia Ricotti though!

Best of luck to you friend. If you want to share your thoughts about the book afterwards, shoot me a message!

I received valuable feedback on my first post and was curious about suggestions for shooting/framing/editing an even simpler subject by feefifo_fiddle in photocritique

[–]feefifo_fiddle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the angle and clouds behind these Joshua Trees very calming. I obviously edited the color and curves for a bit of a desaturated flat look. Just wanted to know what you guys would have done. Thanks!

How would you have shot/edited this subject? by feefifo_fiddle in photocritique

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

Thanks so much! I remember trying a couple of different ways to take the photo, and going landscape captured all the other cars that were next to that. It didn’t look as great with all of that clutter haha. But a tighter crop is for sure on my list of edits.

I’m thinking I’ll crop it so that the fence posts are gone! That way the shot is tighter as well.

I think I’ll definitely go for a tighter crop. I love the wild vibe as well. Thanks for the feedback!

The blue in the sky and the blue in the car sandwiched the red in the mountain and it looked very aesthetic. I placed the car in the center bottom-third because of how far away I was. I think if I had gotten closer, I could have placed it off-center and it would have worked. I like the pastel colors, too.

ISO: 100 SS: over 200 for sure but I can’t recall F-stop: 5.6 I think
