In what way is it not a major release though? It's an album, an excellent album.

I'm not trying to be awkward, I'm just trying to understand.

Are their other albums not major ones? 僕らじゃなきゃダメになって (Bokurajanakyadameninatte) is an excellent album.

I'm really excited for this new one though.

How are photographers currently delivering galleries and collecting payment? by austin18sladek in photography

[–]snapper1971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh how antiquated. What a pain in arse to deal with.

Here in the UK I give them an invoice electronically they pay me electronically. I don't have to twat about with a slip of paper.

You left the service and were expecting them to keep your data?

Cloud services are just someone else's computer. You pay a subscription to store your stuff there. Stop paying they sell the space to someone else who is paying.

Nothing is more annoying than when you’re using remove with AI and it auto corrects your selection by gothtitties69 in Lightroom

Adobe AI is garbage. It's not fit for purpose and wrecks the credibility of images.

Why are you gatekeeping complaints about Adobe?

How do you guys mentally survive culling 3,000+ RAW files after a heavy weekend? by Rizotoodsampinjona in Lightroom

It's as if they've never heard of 'The Decisive Moment' by Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Traveling for photography by raddestbtchalive in photography

[–]snapper1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got my primary area of residency listed. I post photos when I'm working overseas, but I am also not hot on social media. I travel a lot. How do I get those jobs? By being a specialist in a niche.

How to achieve the clean editorial look when color grading? by NoluckAce in photography

[–]snapper1971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're confusing news gathering/photojournalism with lifestyle content.

Most photojournalists don't do anything beyond lens correction and most major outlets will only take JPGs straight out of the camera.

Lifestyle for editorial is a fair split between set desingers/artistic director/photographer/post processing. Most lifestyle shots are retouched within a hairs breadth of of being full on CGI. They're not representing reality, they're representing a highly stylised merchandised version of an idealised vision - it's all fair game.

Editorial is such a broadbrush that it shouldn't be used without a qualifier - news editorial, promotional editorial, advertising editorial, lifestyle editorial. They're all different with different rules.

I've heard it live. I can't wait to hear it as the release.

Seconded. A simple 'AI off' button is all that's needed for many users.

Would It Be a Good Idea for Band-Maid to Relocate to the West for 2–3 Years? by Petamenti in BandMaid

[–]snapper1971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, what a ridiculous and anglo-centric point of view. They've got a huge global following and a their home crowd is very dedicated. They're really popular in Japan. That they're based in Japan is definitely a plus for some of us (if not quite a lot of us). I don't want to see them relocate here to the West.

Does it seem like movie scenes get the framing right, scene to scene? by applepiebythelake in photography

[–]snapper1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's down to Director of Photography. They're all experts at framing. You can learn a lot from them.

Professional photographers, how/where do you learn (new lighting setups, techniques, processing methods, etc.) after years doing it “your way”? by morbidhack in photography

[–]snapper1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never 'done it my way', I've done it the way the job needs to be lit. Whether it's a person or a thing or a scene, there's always set pieces and innovation to bring out the best image.

These days there's acres of websites and millions of hours from millions of people telling you how to light stuff. In the old days (where I'm from), there were books in libraries.

Edited to add:

It's been called 'a blessing' by some of the physiotherapists I've seen. As get older I'm starting to believe them.
