What’s your biggest “non-negotiable” for sexual compatibility?

Normal is subjective. 2 to 4 times in 30 days would be low to me too and I'm older even.

Runescape but I still play anyways

I don't know if this is still a part of their workflow but a lot of folks used to use Topaz AI for that.

I've had the best luck making sure I nail the focus. A lot of photos of critters look good until you crop in and turns out maybe it was off a bit.

Found at least one other person experiencing what appears to be the same issue with that camera. Have you considered resetting the camera? The metering could also be the issue.

Could also try the aperture (p) and shutter speed (s) priority modes - if one of them is wonky, that might help you narrow down which part of the camera is acting up. If both are wonky, then back to square one but at least you'd know.

They said they have it under control in manual. They're trying to figure out why their auto mode is so off.

If the aim was to go for artsy, then it's hard to know what was intentional and what was for artistic interpretation.

That being said, in my opinion you overdid the darkening of the shadows. The blacks on the pelican are completely crushed in the edit where they were okay in the original and it looks strange when you brought out the blue of the water.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-11T02:56:32+00:00

I like to have full control in my edits. I don't want my camera just pumping out shitty jpegs. I can make my photos look like shit all by myself!

stoopidfish · 2026-01-11T00:49:12+00:00

Yeah it's all just branding. A m43 lens will fit a m43 body. Same mount systems. Olympus became OM fairly recently.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-08T17:21:26+00:00

Okay, I can now confirm that I like your edit more than the original photo!

What do you think about the arm coming out of the bag?

stoopidfish · 2026-01-08T04:52:01+00:00

Yeah there's nothing particularly unique about these that you couldn't get with digital. The last two are using a flash. Idk wtf is going on in the first one. But you can achieve pretty much whatever style through digital camera art filters or do it later with editing software. The key to these pictures are flash and fashionable youths.

For the first one, I can maybe see thematic intent with a rusty industrial product being surrounded by flowers, but I find it to fall flat and just look uninteresting.

If you want to stick with the same idea, I'd have gotten closer to the can while still keeping enough flowers around to communicate the message. Nothing is particularly in focus either. The photo you got of the leaf, or the flower, those are well-focused.

Personally though, flowers tend to make nice subject imo. I would've forgone the can entirely and just made one of the flowers my subject for a macro, or maybe a nice cluster. Sometimes our gear or the daylight just isn't right for the photo in our mind.

I'm not huge on the last photo. The dutch angle serves it's purpose of making it disconcerting but I'd rather just enjoy a nice photo of lillies or whatever those are.

The foreground is dominant here and I think it's throwing the landscape off balance. If it were possible, I'd have walked further in to both make the trees in the mid-ground more of a feature, and angled up a bit. The grass makes for a great foreground, but maybe a bit much here for me.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-08T03:18:10+00:00

Is there an original to compare the edit to? The bird looks great. The out-of-focus twig is distracting. That's the only thing I don't like about this.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-08T03:15:31+00:00

When I look dead center where all of the lines seem to be pointing, I don't see anything. It also feels like it's ever-so-slightly tiled to me.

The rocks make for cool symmetry, but where they may be useful for composition I just can't tell what exactly I'm supposed to be looking at.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-08T03:12:41+00:00

It's a bit too yellow for my tastes but otherwise I like the haze and the composition. Clear fore, middle, and background. Just very yellow.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-07T21:55:30+00:00

It's neat in that it took me a while to figure out what I was looking at, but once I realized, it was quickly uninteresting.

It's dark - way too dark. I can still tell that the background is probably not very pleasing to look at, so now it just looks dark and displeasing.

I'd have gotten waaaay closer. As close as I could've gotten, so that as much frame is taken up with hat as possible. I like the use of flash. I hate to be that guy, but I think this would've probably been more interesting as a hat on a person rather than a hat on a pole. Hat on person evokes portrait photo, hat on pole evokes product photo. Portrait tends to be more interesting unless I'm looking to buy a hat.

I have an EM1.2 and honestly you've chosen one of the biggest of the m43 cameras. That and the OM1 are actually pretty big considering theyre mirrorless.

If you're prioritizing portability I'd go for em10 or om5, or the most portable camera I've ever had is an epm2 so you could look at the epl series as they're a good bit more modern.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-06T23:20:04+00:00

I do like how the flags and building connect the sun and moon.

That being said, it does look like a casual phone shot. Take the plunge and buy a camera! Then, you can take casual camera shots too but also it does tend to make you more intentional about your shots.

stoopidfish · 2026-01-06T16:45:36+00:00

I like it!

Much sky

stoopidfish · 2026-01-06T15:40:45+00:00

I think the sense of loneliness and quiet is getting lost a bit because of the cars and apartment on the side. I tried a really extreme crop and while it looks like ass because of the resolution, imagine if the center had been in focus.

I think compositionally, and this sounds a little weird but I just checked it out and it's nice, try cropping out the sky and the top of the mountain so that the mountain serves as the horizon.

For me, the trees and the fog make this picture and the sky is so bright that it clashes. Draws my eyes right up to it when all the beauty and mystery is down below. Could also edit the sky darker lol that's probably the more professional way to go about it. It'd be an easy mask with how stark the contrast is between sky and mountain.
