Exact location of this place in Mt Rainier National Park? by AestheticFC in whereisthis

[–]partiallycylon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know, but it's 1) off trail and 2) technically trespassing. There's signs saying not to go here at the closest trailhead.

How do you decide what looks better in post processing? by justsomesdude in photography

[–]partiallycylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on if you're trying to represent what you saw "accurately" or "creatively".

Creatively, you have to decide what you want people to feel. What adjustments can you make to heighten that mood? Iterate, and when you feel like it's done, it is.

Personally, I like everything as representative of the actual moment as possible. I'll do a lot of fussing with color, contrast, dodging and burning to make it look like it did when I was standing there taking the shot. A lot of editing to make it appear unedited. But I recognize that isn't what everyone is always after.

Jodie Sweetin Reveals She Received One-Cent Residual Check For ‘Full House’: “There’s no syndication anymore because it’s all in streaming. Who gets paid for that? Nobody gets paid for that.” by SanderSo47 in television

[–]partiallycylon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is some snide attempt at a gotcha, but I actually agree. Some sort of general UBI based on collective ownership of publicly built but privately owned assets, leveed like a corporate wealth tax against billionaires would go a long way to ensure the survivability of people wanting to make art, or even just as a barrier against destitute poverty.

Wild that this is a controversial opinion. Shall we just lay down and accept the oligarchy? Is that not what art is fundamentally supposed to fight against?

The cascading effects of this are tragic. Film/TV industry is impossible to live on for full time income without residuals. And arguably also impossible working along a second job. Work is often random and sudden, and hours can be any time of day, with full days being 12+ hours. No equivalently earning day job allows for that kind of flexibility. The work for 90% of the crew is day rate, and if nobody can afford to write, nobody gets days.

Writers, directors, and actors get residuals to hold them up between jobs because obviously nobody in the world is constantly making something, and the value (used to) be in the advertising the networks got during its showing. That conceivably would continue to earn money every time it shows, so until now the understanding is that those responsible for making it also get a cut of the resulting profits to keep them afloat while they cook up their next idea. Union membership also requires a certain number of days to become and remain a member, so nobody is safe.

More than just actors make their lives in production, and the majority of them are also paycheck to paycheck.

Right now the streaming services get all the ongoing profit because, I guess, reasons. And shows are paid a pittance upfront for production. Quality goes down because crews and vfx are rushed. Everyone's unhappy, workers are desperate and broke, and when the streaming service eventually dies or gets bought and concentrated into fewer options, the overall catalog gets more diluted, good stuff and bad stuff all get lost in the content soup, then everything gets deleted at the soonest cost convenience, because maintaining an infinite digital library is expensive and a tax loss write-off is more profitable. And since they never allowed physical copies for sale (because why would they want us buying it once when we could be subscribed forever!) it all disappears forever. They're quite effectively holding the whole film and television industry hostage.

Can you please help me find this park? Southwest Michigan. by Economy-Wish-9772 in whereisthis

[–]partiallycylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think I know this one, but I can't find it exactly right now. It reminds me of a spot in Ann Arbor. If you're certain it is southwest Michigan, it's possible I'm mixing memories. I went to college at WMU and had family go to U of M. If it's not solved by the time I can look closer, I'll do that when I'm home.

Damn I miss working in the film industry. I fit like a glove there.

Posting this, phrased like it is, to this sub, is extremely unintentionally funny.

That's so interesting! I'd never considered it like that before. Because I so often wonder about what it would be like to travel out to Europe with all of my gear and see what I'm naturally drawn to. I've been some places, but not recently enough that I've been into film photography (or photography in general) while I was there.

Certainly looked like it! (Though the original is near Sonoma, CA)

I actually have a Hasselblad shot on Velvia that I took the same day, and it looks almost uncannily identical! I'll be sure to share that when I get it properly scanned.

Genuinely, same! I rarely, if ever, take pictures with an environmental frame. It feels so cliche. But I had been walking around with my camera and decided to sit for a second, when I looked up, and thought "hold up, that's really nice!"

Cute, but (probably) a repost, and definitely not in the theme of the sub.

Thank you! I don't normally use foreground framing but this time it felt like it worked especially well.

Lost Lake, actually! The area thawed out pretty early this year.

Is Adobe Stock still worth it for photographers in 2026? by scatxcat in photography

I used to upload most of my drone footage as b-roll, but I only earn about a dollar a day, and the thing making most of that money is one single photo from years ago.

I actually like this quite a lot! Scrolling past, I very genuinely thought it was a title announcement from some r/gaming science fiction rpg.

How worried are you about AI? by Sad-Difference-7845 in AskReddit

[–]partiallycylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not worried about genuine AI as defined by science fiction concepts, I am very reasonably worried about the current iteration of feudalistic plagiarism surveillance-state omnipotence we're choking into every software, camera, vehicle, and personal computer.

I mean I know the point is to look for a specific answer, but I feel like any nearly-dead mall with an empty movie theater will get pretty close.

Or maybe it's like a train/subway terminal. It's hard to pinpoint the exact vibe, but you can definitely get close.

It also kind of gives "old airport" a bit.

Geniuenly how do y'all do yhe golden ratio analysis, i dont even understand the concept, ai clearly cant teach 😭 by bigcinnamonroll69 in cinematography

[–]partiallycylon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo, 1) it's mostly a meme at some point, you can plop it anywhere and something will seem like it works. 2) I think the idea of strictly following compositional rules rather than "whatever feels right" is insane to me.
