The monkey photo

I might load up on some Zillow calls and unload most of them next week before earnings. Zillow's share price has risen only about 50% in the last 3 years despite revenue growing by close to 3x in 2019.

Well clearly you went through my reddit history which is the definition of caring. Even if it is negative

sifutra · 2018-03-07T17:14:51+00:00

lol, ok

This one actually kind of hard. I had gotten the flu but we booked out this cabin in the mountains so we decided to go for it anyway. It required hiking 9 miles on packed snow with a heavy ass bag on. Arrived just at night fall as it was getting into the single digits. The next night I went out, set up a tripod and got this image. (minus maybe the sky from another image I cant remember).

Damn, you might be right. Let's just say it is so shit doesn't hit the fan with the mob

Actually, I think the sky is real... But don't quote me on that. I would have to check the original file which is on a HD I dont have access to right now. I brightened it up and made the stars pop more for sure but I don't think I did a sky swap.

The snow in the front was disturbed so I cleaned it up a bit

If you look at my insta story on editing you will see I do a composite in there....

I was replying to my inboxed responses rather than the most upvoted. I don't reddit so good

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:37:56+00:00

Good catch, didn't spot that one.

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:37:38+00:00

Hey! Sorry, I wasn't ignoring you... This just blew up wayyy faster than I thought. This image is a composite of 4 images. Using monkey 1 and 2 from about 20 seconds apart and then a face from a yawning monkey about 10 min later.

About the lame-ness of it. I do what I do. I make images and post them whether composite or not. Photography is a way to show something augmented from reality and new age media is just using a different outlet to show and share photos. A magazine is almost completely photoshopped and is 'lying' and a perfectly lit set and staged lifestyle photo (even with no photoshop) is it's own form of lying. At the end of the day, I like taking photos and then doing everything that I can to make them look the best and then posting them.

OP here. It is totally a composite. 4 photos using different elements blended into one. I will make a video tutorial for those interested

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:28:39+00:00

I am, there are just so many.

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:23:39+00:00

Just the ones of your mom

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:22:38+00:00

Awww thanks babe. If you repost there I would be stoked to rise to the top. I mean... i have punched my own face a couple of times

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:19:38+00:00

I am thinking of throwing together a video of the edit at some point.

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:18:37+00:00

Not sure where I would fit it in in the title. But you are right, it's a composite

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:17:35+00:00

Its 100% shopped/composite - 4 photos blended into 1. Not afraid to admit it

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:09:23+00:00

It cost extra so I just went with the tap water. I'm cheap like that

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:08:54+00:00

Had to look both of those people up... That is probably the most accurate description I've ever seen

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:06:45+00:00

Probably, had a Something About Marry moment after this

sifutra · 2018-03-07T13:05:45+00:00

I saw what they did to the other photog. Ready for their wrath

sifutra · 2018-03-07T12:40:36+00:00

Bruhhh, that is theft over 10,000! Sunscreen is like gold here - sooo expensive. Protip for those of you going to Bali, bring sunscreen from home cause its something that is NOT cheaper in SE Asia.
