frequencies of interest if you care to listen to the NATO stuff by vveloxin chicago

[–]enim 1 point2 points ago

Anyone have the frequency or a link to a stream that they just moved the foot units to? Sounded like "metra" or "metro" on B9.

What size should an image be for it to print nicely on an A1 (594x841mm) sheet? by not_ryanin photography

[–]enim 2 points3 points ago

I will disagree strongly. I would never, ever print anything below 180 dpi. Even though people may normally view from quite a distance at a 33ish by 23ish inch size (for us 'muricans), that will not stop them from leaning in. When I print murals, I will always scale so that I have a 180 dpi final resolution. Photoshop CS5+ has fantastic built in scaling algorithms, and I have done enlargements of as much as 200% (by pixel dimension) with great results.

Glossy vs Lustre. Printing suggestions? by mauriUGTHin photography

[–]enim 0 points1 point ago

Its all preference. Personally, I like a satin or luster - the less texture the better. Some like glossy for weddings and high fashion stuff. Its all about what you find to be more pleasing.

Actually, stretched lobes, or piercings. Gauge refers to the measurement of the jewelry - what people generally think of as gauges are either plugs or tunnels.

Anyone know how to blend photos like in this one? Can it be done in Photoshop? by TexasCyclone96in photography

[–]enim 1 point2 points ago

Yep, its not easy. basically, you need both shots, and the way that appears to have been done was to find a time of day where there is a shadow on the front of the building for the day shot, then the night shot was taken.

In photoshop, put both images on 2 seperate layers, and use gradients in layer masks to blend between the two. Using layer masks will allow you to have more control over where the blend happens and how it does.

This is also an HDR and heavily toned shot, which is giving it a little more visibility, particularly in the night half. Taking an image and just blending them will not give this same effect - it will take a lot of color balancing and complex toning work to make them work together this well.

No full length mirrors in Va? Weird.

Anyway, I'm into the androgyny thing personally. I have a tumblr I follow that is a girl that wears menswear....but I cant remember what it is right now (and cant get on tumblr from work).

As far as which outfit, the white shirt is better but you need a different bowtie. Perhaps a paisley or the like.

Besides sweeping landscape photos, what other shots do you use your wide-angle lens for? by mck77in photography

[–]enim 3 points4 points ago

As someone who does a lot of portraits in the hip-hop community, I actually use the distortion as an effect. I have a trademark image that I like to do with most of my clients that basically requires it, and it looks really cool and gets the client stoked. I also use a nicer lens (1st gen Sigma 18-50 f/2.8) that doesnt have a ton of distortion, but a nice amount. You can also control it and correct it some in Photoshop pretty well.

So I got a reply about a photo pass, now what? by snappsin photography

[–]enim 2 points3 points ago

Well, they may or may not, depending on the management company, have you sign something giving them rights to the photos. Otherwise, you could say that you would offer them free and unlimited usage with proper crediting (meaning, if they publish them, your name follows).

[–]enim 1 point2 points ago

What they are asking is "Will these photos be published anywhere". Do you have a blog you post to? Would you be selling the photos to a magazine?

You most certainly could say that you will be using them to build your own portfolio, and will give them x usage rights on them if they would like.

Printing Question by jrworthyin photography

[–]enim 1 point2 points ago

As someone who prints big pretty regularly (at school), I have this advice to give:

1) You can usually upsample in Photoshop, if you're careful, by about 80-100% with decent results.

2) I would recommend you're final print resolution be no lower than 180 dpi.

3) Remember that at a large size, you may not be as close, so the quality can be a little less for the same perceived image.

With a 4096 image straight out of the camera, you could easily get to a 22x17 image. I would agree that 48x36 is perfectly obtainable with that image file.

Any of you r/chicago guys wanna get together and shoot? by theshowlastnightin photography

[–]enim 0 points1 point ago

The biggest thing with shooting the skyline is to try to get angles that people dont normally get - different locations, times, angles (high or low), etc. A whole lot of it has been done, so try to come up with a project that is unique.

Need help complimenting my date's dress! by carterhin malefashionadvice

[–]enim 2 points3 points ago

Matching doesn't have to be the same color. find out what color pink she is wearing, and, as suggested, wear a lighter blue or green tie. compliments can match better than the same color if your pinks are different.

I'm doing a "photobooth" for a large event this weekend, advice please? by armadillokillosin photography

[–]enim 2 points3 points ago*

The good news about photo booths is, especially if you light it, all you have to do is compose and click the button. Here's what I recommend:

-bring you camera, despite that they have on rented. Just in case.

-if you have lighting gear, I like the look of a diffused beauty dish from the front, up some and to one side a bit. Even light, nice shadows and a lot of people look good in it.

-if you don't have lights, find a wall with some nice lighting and post up there.

-draw a box on the floor with tape, tell people to stand in it. This is especially good if you are lighting it.

-be willing to have fun and talk with people.

Those are just my recommendations from the few times I've done it donating time for benefit shows for my friends. When I did it, I just used a sped light in an umbrella off to one side and it looked great.

GSM Galaxy Nexus, bootlooped after multiple recovery attempts and very stuck. by chaircrowin AndroidQuestions

[–]enim 1 point2 points ago

I'm fairly certain that, on Galaxy phones, you cannot restore from the button hold CMW. You'll have to reflash with Odin, get back to the proper version of CM9, THEN restore using reboot from the power menu.

At least that's how it is on my Fascinate.
