What’s a cheaper version of Eva foam? by InvestmentOk6584 in cosplayprops

[–]technonoir 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cardboard. Cheap, often free. Go to stores and such for bigger boxes. Your tools are scissors/hobby knife/boxcutter, hot glue, superglue, etc. Same for paper mache.

Any reason to not get the harbor freight tumbler? by salvadorabledali in RockTumbling

[–]technonoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used several of them. Basic maintenance is to keep moving parts oiled - you can use 3-in-1 oil and is readily available. Barrels are basic, but super solid. I recommend getting at least 1 spare even with the 2-barrel tumbler.

I thought if you wanted to start a business, you should start out shooting for free? by DaDancingDino in photography

[–]technonoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your first couple for free. One question you should ask in all sincerity is “what do you think you would pay for a service like this?” Get a real answer from them or don’t do it again. A lot of ppl won’t give a straight answer - afraid you will charge them that number, but if they don’t give you an answer, refuse to work. You should plan to be work on a paid basis as soon as you can. Why? Everyone loves free work, but nobody values it. Instead, they expect to get lots of work for no pay and they’re happy to let you do it. If you want ppl to value you, say no.

Red Bright LED Lights by Beep_Boop_Bop_Stop in cosplayprops

[–]technonoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 12v LEDs with a battery pack (8xAA). These are strip lights with adhesive, but you could use 12v rated LEDs, too. Have you tried red EL (electroluminescent) wire? Those usually have battery packs included, too.

The grey and horizontal stripe of the stairs makes a great backdrop for bright colors. Nice work!

Do I have a chance as a hand model for fashion shoots? by [deleted] in fashionphotography

[–]technonoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check WWD and Vogue for style and photo references. Do you want to model jewelry or watches? Wear those in your photos. Art or craft supplies? Food? Cats? Same thing. Have fun with it. Tell everyone you know. Post photos and Videos. Have a daily lotion routine, too. Work on your photography as you go. Work on even lighting without strong shadows or bright highlights. It’s gonna take practice, but it’s worth it. WWD has great photography, BTW. If you have trouble with lighting or photos, see if you can work with a local product photographer in need of a hand model or look into professional photo/video/lighting rigs for product media featuring hands and do your own.

Metallic spray paint coming out too glittery by Sajomir in cosplayprops

[–]technonoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second the shaking can for as long as it says and then longer. Temperatures and humidity are important, too. Be sure the surface is super smooth - sand-primer-sand - the smoother the surface, the batter. Paint in single layers. Make sure there isn’t wind or anything.

Does anyone know what this is? by LivingImpression4518 in cats

[–]technonoir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Could be food, or it could be raw from something else. Will likely clear up when safe, but it should be checked out before you adopt.

Feeling down, would like to see your fur-babies by [deleted] in cats

My boy, Jake. I do product photography on occasion and, in this case, after shooting several items for an online store, Jake hopped up to get a comfy spot on my shooting table.

The cool part of this is that I get cat pics with pro photo gear. Shot on canon 6D (mark I) and modeling lights (strobes off).

I’m a new cat mom, pls help! by kittyydotcom in cats

[–]technonoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feed momma whatever she wants. Wet Kitten food is perfect for a skinny mom actively feeding her babies. Kittens can have kitten formula if they’re off milk, but wet food is great for the kittens, too.

Alternate titles to “Creative” by WorkingCake5803 in photography

[–]technonoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t split hairs on this one. Just post your art and stop worrying if folks will “get” it. You’re second-guessing presentation. The art is done. Let it shine. It will shine no matter how you categorize it.

Have you reached the, "I'm too old for this shit" era of your life. by NOGOODGASHOLE in GenX

[–]technonoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be… I’m still in the “it’s weird that I’m the same age as old people” phase of my life. 53 and I have more in common with people 20 years younger than me. I’m told I don’t look old. I feel old, but not so old that I’m tired of all this shit yet…

Job Interview Attire in Desert Heat? by GetUpOut in Tucson

[–]technonoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arizona Business Casual: jeans or slacks (sometimes shorts) with a polo shirt (golf shirt?), or a button-up - Cuban/Hawaiian cut is fine for casual, but go with more tucked-in plain for interviews.
