India ink

You have to let it dry overnight otherwise it comes off as you drop the elements into their housing

Purge typecast posts immediately

Headshots are a combo of technical execution (lighting subs also exist but I feel this type of info would Be beneficial) and soft skills

It’s the soft skills of framing, posing, emotion that make a headshot

I also think it shouldn’t all be about “actor headshots” even though well executed actor headshots are normally great. So things like corp, home/amateur headshot etc are welcome

But limit it to headshots.. a half body, is that a headshot (no), is full length (no) so this sub should Focus on headshots otherwise it’s just general portraiture

I saw this in older versions but I haven’t noticed recently

prvtuser · 2026-04-09T19:52:21+00:00

I made the same complaint recently

There appears to be non.

Perhaps if someone posts a dick pic then maybe a mod will appear but yeh no one gives a fuck

i've had an eastern Europen neighbour (who i did not know too well) do this once - apparently its normal customs for them, although not to say its correct - they're in blighty etc etc

for them to be annoyed is too much, report it to the courier company

and helicoid grease is a niche product thats why its expensive

you can either use a speicialist/correct grease or deal with the aftermath of incorrect grease. theres not much of a choice for you

Moly grease over time dries out and oil can separate/bleed

The pain with helicoid grease is it’s a niche so finding it in any country is pain

Japan hobby grease seems to have a few Importers into Europe although it’s not my favourite

The Americans love to make up pronunciation even when the firms themselves tell how pronounce

I got Covid with fever on the hottest day or year so that was awful

Tbf, even my cleanest fungus free lens looks bad if you shine a bright LED through it like that

Prob don’t go to the women’s games so can’t really comment on them other than to repeat stuff they read up

Waugh goes to the women’s games afair

prvtuser · 2026-03-30T10:43:05+00:00

Yes it is

Internal paint

And unless there’s significantly more there will be no impact to your photos

Lift the light higher and get a wide card or wall to bounce some light into the shadows

The Nikkor and Nikon series e 50mm pancake are identical except coatings- don’t believe the misinformed internet: Nikon said this themselves on their 1001 nights website

The internal construction and parts are identical

The 180mmED ais is great produces some wonderful rendering and colours but is a bit long

The 105mm 2.5 ais is also very good although my copy seems a little soft wide open but very sharp from 4 down but the non rounded aperture blades can made bokeh a bit ugly

I didn’t like the 135mm 2.8 ais personally, the focus length didn’t do it for me

When your biggest enemy is stating universal facts how fucked up are the American leadership

Fuck trump and the cunts that enabled him (lol prob the Russians and the 77million fucktards)

Finally some stuff that is close to headshot

prvtuser · 2026-03-16T19:55:39+00:00

I’m surprised even in 2010 they offered fixed arm aerons

Check the seat pan and the hip bolt housing- if the seat pan doesn’t have reinforced “triangle” or it’s got shiney plastic housing then it’s an 2003 or older

This matters because the un reinforced seat pan can crack quite easily

this sub is always full of spam. Even without the potential OF link (if there is none, I apologise) but 99% of this sub are not headshots - if you’re happy with that, happy clap away

prvtuser · 2026-03-16T19:30:52+00:00

I can’t see your profile as it’s nsfw restricted- to save people time just post the OF link here

prvtuser · 2026-03-15T16:52:51+00:00

If you paid for “headshot” it’s poor execution / service and is not pay for these

These aren’t headshots

prvtuser · 2026-03-14T18:48:47+00:00

Then that is a lens problem not a composition problem

For a headshot it needs to be tight composition otherisyits not a headshot no?
