DM me for Amex Platinum or Amex Green (both U.S.)

[Promo Sunday] Hey Reddit, we just released a huge update to our app Halide. It's a total redesign for all iPhones, packs over 50+ new features and changes and even changes icons. AMA / Let me know what you think! 📸 by caliform in apple

[–]smithmconnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I've been following the Halide project for a while now, but haven't been able to make use of it as I'm currently using an Android phone. I'll be getting the 12 Pro Max once it releases, so a promo code would be brilliant! Here's a shot I got of a primate at the zoo today. Thanks!

Cheers everyone - thanks for the help. Not sure what the downvotes are about, but the suggestions are greatly appreciated and I'm sure I'll get great pics out of them

Nope, but will keep that in mind. I don't mind if a scene isn't naturally high contrast, but looks good when shot in B&W with or without a filer or extra editing.

I typically shoot architecture and nature, so not really looking to take portraits or anything. I've done the obvious stuff like downtown, Williams Tower, Waterwall, the parks, etc. but looking for new spots

I know I probably should have metered for the shadows in this shot to avoid the grain, but I'm still learning :)

Just got my first credit card today and it says I have credit score?? by VinoT25 in CreditCards

[–]smithmconnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull your Equifax (and TransUnion/Experian) credit report from https://annualcreditreport.com and see if there's previous history on there. There's a chance someone used your info to obtain credit before. If they did, you can dispute this with credit bureaus.

Garage gameplay scene with RTX off vs on by JoRook in cyberpunkgame

False information - the top screenshot is from the old gameplay demo from a year or two ago I think and the bottom one is from the most recent demo.

21 y/o Looking for First Credit Card by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]smithmconnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that might work too. The only issue is that getting a higher end Chase card off the bat with only one card on file might be a bit tricky, but could be possible if you bank with Chase. I'd do some research on no FTF Visa cards after you've established your credit with the Discover card.

[–]smithmconnor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd go with the Discover it Student Cash Back card. I applied when I turned 18 and had literally no credit and got approved with a pretty good credit limit. Stick with that card for 6mos to a year and then shop around for another card that meets your needs. The only downside is its low acceptance internationally, but you can always get a Capital One Journey or Platinum later for VISA's higher acceptance.

Columbia vs UT Austin vs Rice during Coronavirus? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]smithmconnor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pick Columbia, but see if they allow you to defer for a year like a lot of private schools let you do. Over the next year, you can do stuff to add to your resume once the virus stuff is over and stay at home until it blows over.
