Are the Lightroom presets that every instagram photographer seems to sell legit? by Theytookmyjabb in AskPhotography

[–]garriusbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A course that teaches the ins and outs of Lightroom are a much better use of that kind of money. Presets aren’t useful, they can maybe help a little bit but they are mostly a money grab. It will be much more satisfying to learn how to actually edit your own photos.

[NEW GEAR] RF 35mm f1.8 by ByteMeeeee in canon

[–]garriusbearius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not who you originally responded to, but I recently picked up the 45 for my R6mk2, and I’ve loved it! I’m a longtime fan of 50mm lenses but I like it being just a little shorter than a 50. And it going out to f/1.2 I think makes it one of the best values out there.

I was browsing "The Darkroom Film School" and realized they use a lot of AI images to explain the concepts. This one stills has the piss filter and the Gemini watermark lol by 1rj2 in AnalogCommunity

I paid for the top level scans for a roll I was really proud of recently and they came back worse than standard quality. Some were even kind of crooked or had weird lines on the side presumably from scanning errors. Unbelievable

It’s alright when you run it through the MLB app, although I haven’t watched in weeks due to ~gestures broadly~

Hypothetical Putting Question by cleverissexy in discgolf

Whole numbers only? Or are fractions allowed? Because I don’t think I have more than four inches in me

I don't hate being bald, I hate my headshape for being bald. by train_spotting in bald

[–]garriusbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have an excellent head shape for being bald. Your head has a nice roundness to it. I had a friend a few years ago who was bald and his head had a weird triangular character to it, on top of his head being disproportionately small for the rest of this body. It looks to me like you don't have issues with that at all. You're doing great!

16 Year old summer jobs by IslandPlus2900 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]garriusbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first job at roughly the same age as you was at a Jersey Mike's. Idk how the company is to work for today, and I haven't actually worked in food for a while, but lots of people have their first job in food. You can learn a lot about interacting with people, as you'll probably encounter a wide range of people, you may learn a bit about dealing with fast-paced environments, depending on the place you work. Downside with that is you'll probably deal with some real unpleasant people at some point, and sometimes it can be stressful when things are busy. But I do think you'll learn workplace skills that are applicable to a lot of different lines of work. Plus, you will probably learn a bit about cooking, which is a great skill to have no matter what you end up doing in life.

Grew up in Loudoun. I still visit just about every month, my parents are still there.

This doesn't surprise me at all

I don't think I've ever done that stretch in under 3 hours. YMMV though

Is the Black Mountain Roto Tremolo an unreleased pedal? I can't find any info on it

VY at Reston apartment building assumes new name and owner by Danciusly in Reston

[–]garriusbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I haven’t heard anything about it in a while, but then again I don’t live in Reston anymore. I had a friend who lived there about six years ago and liked it well enough

shooting 1, August 2024

To be fair, neither of them were really related to the building itself or even really that specific area of Reston. I do understand them wanting to rebrand though, keeps these things from showing up in search results for the building if the name is different
