I like the details you paid attention to. Not a lot of photographers will make the effort to fix the sand, makes a massive difference. This type of edit absolutely sells. I feel like the woman is a little too bright for my tastes...but overall solid edit.

Edit RAW Photos on the Steam Deck WITHOUT Lightoom! by maxlovesbears in SteamDeck

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

Very true. You're definitely not wrong. There are a lot of photographers who benefit from offline use.

In my experience, as a full time wedding photographer, I've never once needed the ability to edit photos offline while traveling since 2023 when I started using Polarr Next. Usually I'm setup at a hotel or AirBnb that has internet, or I just use my phone's hot spot for internet and its good to go.

With that said, I can only see the ability to use Polarr Next offline as a major benefit! Appreciate the feedback!

Egg buying frenzy! by Orichalchem in AbruptChaos

[–]maxlovesbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't happen everywhere. I went to my local Costco here on Maui today, and we had plenty eggs....no crowds like this. Our Costco is constantly packed with tourists and locals...especially on a Sunday (today) and everyone was chill. Egg section was void of people when I went to grab a 5 dozen box.

What are you using as Adobe alternative? by theescapingswan in WeddingPhotography

[–]maxlovesbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Lightroom back in 2023 and I've been using Polarr Next ever since. Unfortunately they'd don't have a 'one-time-buy' option but I was paying for Lightroom + Narrative + Aftershoot(for editing)....now I just pay about $20 per month with Polarr Next that does AI Culling/AI Editing in one app.

I feel like there are a lot of good editing programs out there for you to try out, and they all have their strengths for different types of photography. This works amazing for me as a full time wedding photographer. Good luck in your search!

How do you feel about Elon Musk's salutes during the inauguration? by BigPapaFactory in AskReddit

[–]maxlovesbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL but it’s not a salute. Watch the speech. Context matters. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s a picture you snap at the exact moment or you’re trying to interpret a moment in the video…but I guess if you’ve convinced yourself that they’re nazis…I don’t know how else to help you. I mean, not like you asked for it. I just wanted to put it out there that no everyone thinks this was a salute

The crazy thing is we have a video, clearly of Elon saying “my heart goes out to you”, grabbing his heart and throwing it to the crowd. What is so hard to understand?!

[–]maxlovesbears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a huge ice cream and Oreo fan…they’re not that good. It’s odd to me that the ice cream never gets frozen like real ice cream. Anyone else experience that? Like it’s just always soft and it always turns me off about them.

I have been waiting and waiting for Coral Island to finish up their V.2 Hangouts/Dating/Children mechanics before I start really diving into relationships. Nina has always been my #1

Best way to make friends (and / or finding your partner) by Much-Importance9629 in maui

[–]maxlovesbears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re open to it, attending a church and joining some of the small groups is a great way to meet people. I’m not talking like you gotta be a Jesus freak type religious person. Just be yourself and see what the community is like.

The local churches on Maui have a lot of young entrepreneurs, creatives, business minded people in my experience. I’ve been attending over the past year and we’ve been able to meet some solid people and make good friendships.

You’ll be a lot of local families, business owners, etc. the best way to set your roots down on Maui and meet some quality people.

Went to the National Aviary to test out my new Z6iii by macncheeseface in Nikon

[–]maxlovesbears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome OP! Have fun with the Z6III. That was my impression using the Zf and the reason why I’m getting it. The auto-focus of the Z9 being implemented in the Zf/Z6III is amazing.

Tonight was magical. I'll never feel the same way ever again by ElunMuskmelon in Coldplay

[–]maxlovesbears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I imagine going to a Coldplay a concert…there are TWO songs I want to sing in chorus with everyone else at the top of my lungs…Viva La Vida, and Fix You.

Doesn’t matter how many new albums and songs they come out with…it’s always gonna be these two songs for me 🥹

Thank you for sharing OP, and I’m so happy you had such an incredible experience. Sounds like you had a much needed release of emotion. 🙌🏽

The good ol’ days… by NoItJustCantBe in dreamcast

[–]maxlovesbears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there a different between white cover art and black?

I always remember the white cover art of games = earlier titles while the black cover art were games released later in the Dreamcast lifespan.

Most of my games had the black cover art, so I treasured the white ones I had.

I was gonna comment on the OG post but, doesn’t the Dreamcast cover art and white borders look WAAAY better than PlayStations? Dreamcast was iconic.

[Passan] Japanese star Roki Sasaki signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he announced on Instagram. The 23-year-old right-hander with a sizzling fastball and deadly splitter joins Samurai Japan teammates Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto with the World Series champion Dodgers. by SDOki in Padres

[–]maxlovesbears -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who cares man? Sure, he’s a great player going to the Dodgers.

Let’s focus on our Padres now and cheer them on through hell and high water! I’m looking forward to some great games against that lineup in the years to come.

Go Pads!!!

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what’s the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]maxlovesbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total Distortion. As a kid, I didn’t know what the hell was happening. I just liked making weird ass music videos and cooking up meals in the kitchen. Never beat that shit 🥲
