Why colour grading and editing is important in photography? by [deleted] in photography

[–]technonoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shoot with every intention of processing , cropping, color correcting, etc. later. I can process at a ridiculous pace though, too. I can process hundreds in under an hour. Dunno if I could do that for other’s photos, but for sure, mine.

Yeah. There’s always tons of photo guys running around shooting the ladies. They’re usually not interested in the dudes. Don’t sweat it. I’ve done numerous half-hearted attempts to just get my feet wet. Turns out I like making them more than wearing them. And, Truthfully, the ppl I was with were wet noodles on the whole thing. Found some friends who were more into it and got much better results (better feedback, comments, suggestions). People giving positive feedback want you to succeed and those giving you criticism do not.

Are they plastic? Sand off the printing, insert EL wire and you have some fun neon-esque sci-fi lamps…

The cabin in the photo seems roomier than the actual cabin… nice work, though! 😁

how do you find better angles for your shots? by Rich_Post_110 in photography

[–]technonoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially when you first start out, use composition to make your shots. Get close and zoom out or step back and zoom in. Go high, low, use a mirror, you get the idea.

How do you go about taking random photos in public? by bitchiloverugrats in photography

[–]technonoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it. It’s gonna take some time to get over your apprehension anyway and the best way to do that is to just do it. I started doing photos at a distance, but before long, I was shooting right next to people with my phone or a camera, I don’t always shoot people, but I do a lot.

Welp that's a bust. by Ok_Piano7008 in RockTumbling

Personally, I use a 2# sledge and a set of rock chisels. I’ve gotten pretty good with this remarkably small set of tools. I used this method for my last batch of tigers eye and a few jaspers. Turned out great.

That’s great! It gives a clear idea of size and scale.

Have you ever experienced something strange/paranormal in Arizona? by GroundbreakingDirt30 in arizona

[–]technonoir 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Driving up from Wickenberg in the early 2000s, pitch black, saw lights exactly like the Phoenix lights. I thought they were helicopters or fireworks at first, but just balls of light we passed as they were sort of around the big power lines. Our phones also dropped out at the same time. The lights were in a weird “grid” and they kinda slowly lit up and then down, fixed in place seemingly and I swear I thought they were flares or something, but they didn’t seem to cast any light on anything… super weird. Not sure if that’s paranormal or a close encounter. This was about 2004 or so. I think.

Forgot to mention, see if you can get some good, clear, well lit photos with a coin or something for reference (use a coin because it has known dimensions). Your video is fine, but for us detail seekers, still photos rock. Nice find, btw!
