Bodhrans-Not-BombsBtoCars@gearhead.town•Article in Slate advocating for Intelligent Speed Assist asks “Why would an automaker manufacture a car with so much engine power that it requires an eight-speed transmission?”English
0·2 years agoThey’re in Facebook comments sections. Slate is if you’re permanently in a turtleneck and need something to read before the latest issue of The New Yorker comes out.

Bodhrans-Not-BombsBtoCars@gearhead.town•Cars really weren't as inexpensive as we rememberEnglish
1·2 years agoSome are just weird outliers. Wranglers, for example, are in this inflation-proof netherworld - the sticker on mine in 2012 was $45K, to buy one in the exact same spec today is $49K. It’s cheaper to own.

1·2 years agoIt’s not so much the hashtags themselves, but with the removal of “Recent posts” in favor of “Recent top posts”, they might as well be dead.
OP, I’ve gone back to Flickr. I’m not generating enough leads from there to justify Pro yet, but we’ll see.

Also, hope you have a friend with a pallet truck.

1·2 years agoNah, the Luddites would’ve been on our side - they would’ve been extremely concerned about the offloading of storage and media access to a few private entities.

Bodhrans-Not-BombsBtoPhotography@viewfinder.pro•How should photographers pose subjects verbally?English
1·2 years agoFor boudoir work, I generally engage them in conversation and suddenly they realize they’re a lot better at posing than they thought they were. But that’s over the course of an hour or more, I couldn’t imagine trying to get 5 headshots right with that alone.
Bodhrans-Not-BombsBtoPhotography@viewfinder.pro•How long does it take to curate 3000 photos?English
1·2 years agoIt’s not so much the technology here, but the selection. As a photographer, I would 100% not expect the retoucher to be on the same creative page as me, unless the photographer really doesn’t care that much. I’ve cut down portrait raw shoots by a factor of 10, it’s just a normal thing I budget into the quote.
I’d do this as a boudoir photographer. Probably cheaper than a big stock site.

Terry Richardson and how he was allowed to be what he was for as long as he was.
Bodhrans-Not-BombsBtoPhotography@viewfinder.pro•How do I get better at manual focusing?English
1·2 years agoI’ve never seen an AF lens with distance scales that were worth a crap. Especially if you’re trying to do it with a focus-by-wire lens that has no actual physical connection to the elements.
The classic method for street photography was zone focusing anyway, so you’d set your focus distance a certain ways out (or at hyperfocal, so everything beyond a certain line was in focus out to infinity), usually stopped down to increase the plane of focus.

Unless you’re going to get everything drum scanned right off the bat (which won’t happen for ten bucks a roll), do not give away your negs.
