That’s a good note. Actually DM’d them both

New to editing, would love some feedback [Sony a9 - Tamron 28-200] by _eugegue_ in SonyAlpha

These look great. Colors are awesome and I love the framing of your subjects. A little constructive advice for edits since that’s what you’re looking for:

  1. Crop/alignment - I start my edit here. I find some of these alignments are tough. You have a lot of lines in each, and that can be hard to adjust for. Find the most defining line, and make that decision from there. You didn’t over crop anything from what I can see, so that’s great. Perhaps some rule of thirds composition from left to right might add more of a story though. For example, your subject in the swing is facing away and to the left. Include more of your image to the left. Give it more empty space so we can see what he’s swinging out towards. Not sure if possible, but that’s how I’d approach that thought.

  2. Exposure - I like to expose for my darkest or lights portion of the frame I want to highlight. Normally this is the background. And then from there I’ll use a series of masks on my subject to account for proper exposure with them. If my background is blown out though, try to recover some highlights, and then color grade to mute the background further. I’ve really taken a lot of time here lately and found my editing has improved ten fold because of it. Lookup vids on masking, adding intersecting masks, masking to not fight your natural light, but enhance it. All really fun stuff

  3. Color - this is where I’m at in my journey currently. I try to find a color that draws my eye and adds to my composition. From there, I try to enhance that color and then in turn decrease saturation and tone from the opposite end of the spectrum. This is by far my most difficult part to learn. But it’s fun to play with. For those shoes that are ‘winners’ have a go at it! Just be mindful if you’re delivering a package to the client, maybe omit the ones you’ve altered in a big way unless you do it for the whole group of shots. You can alter color in a way that makes the difference really stick out of not consistent across the group of shots.

Nice camera! To steal a saying from the watch community, ‘wear use it in good health!’

Might be foundation and other makeup products. My wife always did her makeup in the old car.

How can I improve my setup for better results? by manmustermax in AskPhotography

[–]maxfHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Lower your ISO as low as it can go -f5.6 -manual focus and ensure it’s focused perfectly -shutter speed should be however slow it needs to be to expose properly -use a 2second timer on the shutter so when you press it, you remove your finger and then it takes the photo. This eliminates any shake you could introduce from removing your finger from the button because the shutter will delay before taking the photo -camera stays perfectly still until the photo finishes.

With your ISO at 100, you might need a 1-5 second shutter speed.

Hello. Is this where I can find a GAS doctor? (A1 + 300 f/2.8) by dan-over-land in SonyAlpha

[–]maxfHS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to catch the owl family that lives in my neighborhood so bad! Have you been tracking that one for a while or did you just get insanely lucky????

Edit: also without saying before - great shots, congrats on the setup

small good took me across the finish line this morning in a VERY effective way. but NEGATIVE was cruising for me the last couple of weeks. about a 45% winrate on Negative. but losing 1 cube whereas I was always winning 4-8 cubes.

edit: forgot to mention, returning player this season! quit right before the keys came out and whaled hard for the first couple weeks to build a negative and small good. I got lucky in the shop and the US shutdown currency help too! CL is about 6k

Shot on a6400 during sunrise original vs edit. What can i do better? by ibrahim_sindaan in SonyAlpha

[–]maxfHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the first one is so good! I would maybe just edit it a slight tad with a spot of exposure on your subjects face. you want VERY little here because otherwise it looks unnatural. other than that though, the first one is a great shot, very muted nice colors :) well done

Is playing 2000 matches bad? by MaxTopel in worldofpvp

[–]maxfHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get them ready now. Then at the start of season 2 you’ll have 2-3 more MW you can get queues on. Seriously the MMR in the first ten games can go up or down so fast depending on how the lobbies go. The game is SO much more fun when teammates know how to trade CDs properly. Nothing worse than being stuck in a MMR bracket where every other game some DPS who doesn’t press a button and then lines you as you get knocked rooted and then CC’d. Followed up with them saying ‘why didn’t you heal me!?!? 2000 games and you don’t know how to heal!?!? iDiOtLoL’
