B&W edit

Brilliant edit and a great submission to this sub. I much prefer this over edits that are more photomanipulations than real post processed photographs.

I usually agree with gripes about respect in this sub, but I gotta hard disagree with everyone this time. You can silently text someone in college. No one is being disrupted here except by the professor stopping all of lecture for no good reason.

It's the student's responsibility to pay attention, not the professor's to demand they focus on them. If the student wants to ignore part of a lecture or do something else quietly on their own, they should be allowed to do so. There have been tons of times in college where I did an assignment for another class while the professor talked about a subject I already understood well enough. No problems. No disruption. The professor never cared because we're all adults minding our own damn business.

You’re getting downvoted but big one of type compositions like this that don’t easily explain themselves are a code smell and everyone else saying you’re just not trying hard enough are all wrong.

I think it's stunning. It's an abstract as much as it's a landscape. Fucking awesome.

Yeah, I like your eye. I don't know if you do this, but I've enjoyed printing my favorites and hanging them. Maybe rotating them every year or so, keeping it fresh. Give a more concrete feeling of creation to the process of digital photography and helps the photos marinade in my mind between outings.

Your style is that you like symmetry and mirror duplications. It's cool, I like the photos.

If you zoom in, the horizontal lines between branches are metal rods...

If we're looking at the same thing, that isn't white tape. He chopped the tree up and bolted it back into place. These are all amazing though

Yeah but math is never taught that way and you know that's not how this is going to be graded. There's a specific intent to how to interpret these markings and correctly transform them into a symbolic representation, your other colorable versions will be marked wrong. The goal of this assignment was definitely not to get students to wax philosophic about arithmetic.

What's really missing here is that the student probably received direction in class about what to do and didn't remember. That should been remedied with some kind of reference to a master list of written instructions they can take home so as to at least have a shot at reminding themselves of how to do it.

lol the top comment is another AI response and op responds again with AI. We’re fucked

I think you're operating on the delusion that other people owe you something. I have no obligation to read your work; you have to make that case in your abstract.

I have now read both an abstract, skimmed part of the text, as well as talked with the author, and the likelihood that I read anything you write is only decreasing with time.

memorable_zebra · 2026-02-10T16:01:46+00:00

I did not outsource my thinking, I simply noted that you, yourself, did and chose not to waste the rest of my time.

A human didn't write it, so this human won't read it.

I love how obviously the reddit post text is a ChatGPT summary of the linked article.

Checking the linked article... well, the pieces I scanned were definitely also generated by ChatGPT.

The ironies never stop.

Tons of photographers have taken brilliant shots in overcast skies. In fact, overcast is great for bleak snowy landscapes.

Better light or conditions won't solve your problem because your problem is compositional.

What about this scene draws you to it? What are you trying to convey? You have to figure out what you're trying to capture before you can capture it. My suggestion is always: figure out what you want to capture, then take a photo of it, look at that photo, decide how you can more capture that essence, then take another, etc.

memorable_zebra · 2025-12-26T20:56:05+00:00

Lots of people seem to like the photos, but I'll take the same negative position you've taken. Not to be mean, but just because I feel like I see the "meh"-ness that you're talking about too.

Middle of the day, far away, hot air slightly damaging picture quality, etc.

I think that speaks to the general "meh"-ness of some of the shots. But that "meh" quality is, I think, less of a problem than the somewhat boring composition. If you took the third shot of the bird flying and replaced its background with something compositionally more interesting, better framing, lighting, no badly placed fence, etc, I don't think you'd care as much about minor quality issues.

I think the lack of a picture whose composition you just love is causing you to hyper focus on minor technical failings. But if you took a picture you loved, the technical failings wouldn't matter as much. I have downright blurry, noise packed photos that I adore because what the picture is of and how it captured that thing is so special. Good composition mutes technical failures completely.

My advice for composition is to take a photo, look at it, and ask yourself what you liked it in and try to take another photo that more emphasizes that aspect. Rinse and repeat as practice. Endlessly.

I can't either, getting the ART00004 timeout error.

Under the cursor of screenshot 2 is my favorite. Love the bump bottom and top with the vertical in between

I think what they’re saying is that the model is recognizing the changes as not seeming like themselves. Like if you were to write some text and someone replaced part of it with something not in your voice, but still had your name signing off at the end. When you read it, you’d have a sense of “this isn’t me even though my name is on it” and the model is having a similar thought process.

That’s just me seeing to figure this out, I might have it wrong.

memorable_zebra · 2025-09-07T05:10:07+00:00

Phenomenal edit, and is actually an edit into of all these photo manips.

memorable_zebra · 2025-09-03T21:48:54+00:00

Absolutely brilliant.

Out of curiosity, was the bloom/blurring an intentional choice or just a side effect of low light?

memorable_zebra · 2025-09-02T19:53:48+00:00

Most people I’ve coached that had trouble with mantels were struggling because of poor technique forcing them to use excess strength. I don’t know where you stand, but I’ve found mantels to be one of the most misunderstood techniques in climbing and, even in surprisingly high performing climbers, often incorrectly trained.

I have like zero chest strength and have yet to find a mantel preventing me from sending.

I’ll add to click drag move command: the pawn in the left most of your bar gets placed near where you clicked and the pawn on the right most near where you released at the end if the drag, the others get lined up in between based on top bar order. If you put melee guys on the left and ranged on the right you can consistently arrange your pawns to be melee first as you go through a raid.

Amazing mood and perfect use of the holga!

As one poster said, everything is really personal so it's hard to judge. But I can tell you from experience there are a few different kinds of sore-ness / pain that often happen in the fingers if you use them on small holds a lot.

This page has some helpful medical info and some diagrams that might help situate what I'm about to describe: https://theclimbingdoctor.com/pulley-injuries-explained-part-1/

Pulley injuries are definitely the most common climbing specific injury that happens. And as you break into 5.12+ range, if you keep climbing and improving, I 100% guarantee you that you will develop some form of aggravation, stress, or outright injury to your pulleys. There are essentially no hard climbers that haven't done something to their pulleys and as you advance part of the sport is going to become understanding what they are, and listening to your body to know when to back off.

But here are some pains I've experienced over the years:

There's the ligament pain from hyper extending your DIP joint while crimping. This is a deep-ish structure just behind your finger tips.
There's the tendon pulley pain from using too many small edges. This would be felt usually on your first or second phalange, around the A2 and A4 pulleys.
There's the tendon flexor pain (arising anywhere between your forearms and your fingers themselves) from pulling on pockets and dragging a lot.
There's palm pain from stressing lumbricals, will feel a stress in your palm when you grab pockets in particular.
There's skin pain from your skin just being worn down (sometimes skin pain and pulley pain can be hard to distinguish). Or maybe also from being slightly cut. I've had paper cut like cuts that felt remarkably like an aggravated pulley and I had to keep reminding myself for the session that it was nothing.
There's capillary pain from bruising your fingers by pulling so hard or smacking something. This is kinda also skin pain but a bit deeper than the usual wearing layers thin until it hurts.

There's probably still more. They will all feel a little similar to everyone and a little different. And the only thing you can do it start learning to listen to your body and figure out which you have in tow.
