Owie! Sorry to hear about that & hope you heal quickly!

For those who do not know enough about depression, I invite you to read this:

It’s about as accurate a representation as I have ever read, AND it’ll make you laugh.

Wow. I enjoyed that. But it made even more clear to me that depression sucks.

Yeah I got that impression from this and other things I have read. She hasn’t been putting out anything new in quite a while. I hope she makes a come back because she has a very funny style when she Draws these comics.

Weird timing. A month or so ago, I’d wondered what happened with her. Seems she’s working on a book that was supposed to be released this fall, but I didn’t find any recent news about it. I enjoy all her stories/cartoons, so I hope this works out for her.

Regarding the post-processing issue, I have some questions/comments about what’s allowed. Should I do that here or start a new thread in the Pub(?).

So there isn’t a restriction on kit cars? I went to a car show, but have no idea about that kind of stuff….they all had wheels & engines tho. 😆

[kashari]

Wow, there are some really cool birds I’ve never seen before. I wish more people would’ve said what kind they are, if they knew.

I’m No Big Deal: That hummingbird is so cute & fluffy! We don’t have that kind here that I know of.

Nice job, gang!

Well, if you’re applying it across the entire image and increasing the levels/curve height of the highest values, I guess that would be ok. If you’re selectively choosing the background and applying different levels/curves to those sections of the image, that would not be ok.

Ok, it was across the whole image, thanks Els!

[kashari]

Is it kosher to blow out the background using levels & curves?

[kashari]

I take you Nikonians don’t have micro adjust. I use it for my 100-300 Sigma and my 17-50 Tamron, made a big difference.

We do, but only on the pro-level bodies. I can’t justify a camera that cost more than my first five cars put together right now.

The D7000 has an AF Fine Tune adjustment. I haven’t had any problems with mine, but others have. Some have solved it by moving Focus to the AE-L/AF-L button, while others have either done their own tuning or sent it in for calibration. Since the D7k has a more advanced sensor than the older models, it also shows weaknesses in cheaper lenses. 3rd party lenses also have caused some problems I guess.

Thanks for the link, Orion, I’ll check it out & bookmark…just in case! 🙂

Got it

Thanks Elsinore!

Can someone please pull my butterfly one? I changed my mind just as I hit post. 😳

[kashari]

That was cool, thanks for posting it! I like his instructing style too, easy to understand & funny.

[kashari]

Cropping is allowed to get the effect.

Ok, thanks!

[kashari]

Does it have to be shot off kilter, or is changing the angle in post-processing allowed?

[kashari]

damn U, man!

😆 That’s EXACTLY what I said to myself! The dragonfly & clover are amazing, you blow my mind, U-Man! Wish I could ‘see’ the way you do.
