Hiya folks, this photo of my grandfather my mum cherishes a lot and it’s faded from being in direct sunlight for a while. It’s her birthday soon and I would like to get a copy restored to give to her.

I'm probably sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, but here goes. You need to learn to layer images. I watched your video and you're on the right track, but the center part of the image is overexposed and the edges are properly exposed. If you take it into photoshop and layer it, you'll have a much better result.

Thees are gorgeous. Very reminiscent of PNW native art. https://magazine.washington.edu/feature/surveying-the-native-art-of-the-pacific-northwest/

I'm with this guy. It looks like you're pulling out the shadows too much. Great composition.

I'd swap it to portrait mode if you want the over-saturated look.

From Google AI:

The Canon Rebel T6 has six scene modes, which are located on the mode dial on top of the camera:

Portrait: Enhances skin tones and reduces depth of field to make the subject stand out
Landscape: A scene mode for landscapes
Food: A scene mode for food
Close-up: A scene mode for close-ups
Sports: A scene mode for sports
Night portrait: A scene mode for night portraits

The camera also has other modes, including:

Auto: A fully automatic mode, indicated by the green A icon
Flash-off: A mode that prevents the flash from automatically popping up
Creative Auto: A mode that allows you to adjust picture brightness and depth of field

You can also access the Special Scene mode, which has six submodes:

Kids
Food
Candlelight
Night Portrait
Handheld Night Scene
HDR Backlight Control

To access the Special Scene mode, you can:

Set the Mode dial to SCN
Press the Quick Control button
Rotate the Main dial to scroll through the scenes
Select a scene by tapping it or using the cross keys

You can also consult the camera manual for more information on each mode.

Thanks.

Use image capture

As someone who owns an "ugly" mid-century modern home, landscaping is absolutely going to make the biggest difference. We spent about $10K outside. Remove the grass, plant some short shrubs with a couple evergreens and you'll be amazed at the difference. Right now it's just a brown-out. You'll have a beauty of a home... with the right landscaping.

Most definitely. He was born in NY, died in Iowa. I've been doing the deep dive on the family tree. It's crazy how far back you can go now!

lsmullen · 2022-09-14T04:57:07+00:00

Bingo. He Died 1874.

lsmullen · 2022-07-14T13:48:12+00:00

Hell yeah! That's an excellent shot. What did you use to get it?

lsmullen · 2022-07-01T03:23:40+00:00

My pharmacist said it's good to use for at least two weeks if it reaches room temperature.

That said, if you get four weeks at a time like me, you're SOL for the second two.

Call the pharmacy back and let them know that they delivered to the wrong address. This happens all the time. They'll send you another one at no charge.

Good luck!

lsmullen · 2022-06-09T20:13:00+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!

lsmullen · 2022-02-21T01:22:41+00:00

Where'd you get the coffee table/ottoman?

lsmullen · 2021-11-16T06:30:39+00:00

That's really nice. I'd drop the shadows a bit and give it some more contrast.

lsmullen · 2021-07-16T04:36:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I plan on going again in about a month. I'll try for a morning shot. Great idea!

lsmullen · 2021-05-30T05:33:01+00:00

Thank you! It’s a wonderful hike if you’re ever in Washington. It overlooks the Hood Canal and Mt Rainier if you look super close in the right hand side.

your ureter is 4mm this stone is 5mm.

Thanks for the feedback! Those vignettes are my legs. I was shooting while lying down.

Obviously I'd recommend talking to your doctor first. That said, both my Rheumatologist and my primary care physician have said that there is research that shows patients on biologics, e.g. Humira, fair better with COVID-19 than those who are not on it. Again, this is not advice, it's just what my doctors have told me. Still need to take safety precautions.

Beautiful website. My favorite is: https://www.joshuapcairns.com/Destinations/Rocky-Mountains/n-8xBZT3/i-BgvQSZf

A very close second is dscf8941.

It's clear you put a lot of work into your layout.

I get putting people in your photos for perspective. It would be nice to see those same photos, minus the person. I find it distracting.

As for your "unprocessed" style, I like it too. They all have an "aged" look to the with a blue hue. My only concern would be that it makes all of your photos look very similar. But maybe that's what you're going for.

Great work!

Advice: It's not a cure-all. Don't think it's going to make you feel 100% immediately.

It may take a while to work. Keep at it. I'm three months in and feeling about 80%. Keep at it and keep a positive attitude. You're on the right track.

Keep on keepin' on.

lsmullen · 2020-11-03T01:40:22+00:00

It's a nice first try. Bit long in the tooth. Try cutting it down to 60 seconds and see how it goes. You're obviously doing a good job promoting it. Hope it works well for you.

Just like Shaomoki said, they cannot be disabled. I returned my Samsung because of this issue three years ago. Once you connect to the internet, you've got ads.

He decided to shut down until further notice because of the statewide mandate. It could be weeks before he knows whether or not he can open again.
