I agree that the work of a professional stands out among the works of beginners, because it is not only experience, but also the constant improvement of one's skills, knowledge and abilities. I'm a frequent user of a professional photography blog and recently learned something interesting about the psychology of color in film https://blog.depositphotos.com/the-psychology-of-color-in-film-infographic.html This can be explained by the example of the fact that colors in the film are used to evoke emotions, and even the slightest change in shades can change the way the audience reacts to the scenes. Knowing which colors to use can make a big difference to your projects.

Photoshop Training in Mohali has been used to edit and create images as Master Art. It Creates Cosmetic ads, Text Title Effects for Titles. Photoshop training in Mohali is used to create Motion picture footage. Adobe Photoshop Creates original Art & converts it to desire file formats and platforms. by digitalhandigarh in Photography

Adobe Photoshop is known as a raster graphics editor, which is a computer program that lets users create and edit images and then save them in one of many formats. Photoshop has become the de-facto industry standard, with the term ‘photoshopping’ becoming a verb of its very own. However, the term ‘photoshopping’ has negative connotations – i.e a model photoshopped to appear slimmer – and Adobe discourages its use.

Magnum Photos ("world's leading photography agency") is reexamining its digital archive amid accusations that it was promoting & licensing photographs of sexually exploited minors made in 1989 by American photographer David Alan Harvey documenting sex workers in Bangkok by ISaidWhatISaid in Photography

[–]ISaidWhatISaid[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

"Alleged" child sexual abuse when these were clearly legal minors prostituted in a third world country notorious for catering to pedo-tourists:

At the center of the controversy is a series of images made in 1989 by American photographer David Alan Harvey that document sex workers in Bangkok and were, until recently, tagged in Magnum’s archive as “teenage girl – 13 to 18 years.” The entire archive has since been taken offline. A spokesperson for Magnum told The Guardian that the agency has not yet determined the accuracy of the tags or who provided them.

According to Fstoppers.com, Magnum’s website yielded more than 100 results with the search terms “girl prostitute.”

Many condemned the use of the word “historical” as a way for Magnum to absolve itself of responsibility for the images in question, many of which flout UNICEF’s guidelines for ethically documenting children.

This is the UNICEF website referred to:

UNICEF Photography promotes the appropriate use of images of children in all media. The accurate and respectful visual representation of children everywhere is part of defending children’s rights, including their rights to expression, privacy and protection. Recognizing that children are frequently at risk of abuse, discrimination, stigma or other exploitation if their name or visual identity is known, UNICEF promotes international photography norms that protect children’s identities – in both the making and the use of images of children – as needed.

https://www.unicef.org/photography/photo_about.php

When I type in "guidelines" into the search bar I get a bunch of hits but none pertaining specifically to photography. I did find this one paragraph about photography:

Taking photographs or videos: When using creative methodologies to involve children in research, particular care needs to be taken with photography or videos (Mann andTolfree, 2003), especially in politically and socially volatile settings, such as humanitarian settings. Prior consultations should always be undertaken with those best able to assess the political, social and cultural ramifications of taking or disseminating photographs in these contexts. Clear discussions are needed with children regarding permission from those portrayed in photographs or videos, and the potential dangers of these portrayals (UNICEF, 2015).

I've had a lot of curried goat and it's great. I've never delved into the milk or cheese. I just know it's work and routine that is just not for me.

Oddly it still bugs me when the MSM pushes the idea of goats eating anything, including tin cans. Those fuckers are picky.

They're also clever sometimes. But not enough. You MUST lock down your dry feed bins or they might it eat and die/explode. So I was told.

I cotton on to what you're saying. (I'm not certain that's a real proper usage too or not.)

Here's the beauty of the great Burning Man Cult... It's an un-cult.

You can read into it whatever you want. You can take away from it whatever you want. It means nothing and everything.

Maybe that's what those rich fucks think at the Bohemian Grove - but I doubt it.

I, and many, picture the whole thing as more of a Buddhist sand mandala - a meditation on the ephemeral nature of life. We build things up yet nothing lasts forever. And it happens every year in that week up to Labour Day. We celebrate and we mourn sooooooo very many things, including that the festival can't continue and we must decompress and return to the "real" world where hugs are rare.

I attended 1999-2008. I was always a skeptic and truther, but in 2015 I started to get deep-woke to every conspiracy I could find. Now knowing what I know I would have noticed many things at Burning Man, SF, NYC, and professional animation and live action productions. Actually understanding the "game", maybe I would have been a better employee, or worse.

50k people within a pentagon fence 1 mile on each side! My city of Windsor has 200k covering half this county. For 1 week it's the 3rd largest city in Nevada.

365 x 80 = 29,200 - So most people don't have 30k days in their lives. With 50k people, a number almost to large to really grasp, many "celebrating" excessively, and with lots of climbing etc, it's a wonder that so few die each year. And many people get seriously injured. The desert is a harsh environment. And there are rapes. And the police and many agencies are there to exploit the event for money and other things. And then there's all the Silicon Valley corporate money and their peoples and culture. There are hippies and witches and wickans and such, and then I'm guessing there are Satanists, etc. Also the rules get much worse every year.

Of course there are darker sides to Burning Man, but there are much much much more profound good sides to it. To delve into that would take pages.

well i want the milk, not the meat, but goat meat is very common in many parts of the world. a poor mans cow they are called. but yes, the goat kids are very good to eat according to my neighbor. btw children should be called children and not kids, but they do have a period when they behave like kids i guess..

cotton is just a reference to a meme about a sports commentator called cotton. "It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him."

It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I actually started to experiment and appreciate "weird" or unfamiliar foods, including goats. The thought of it as a kid (punny) was enough to sour me on trying it.

"Cotton"?

Every day chipping away. I had the story complete locked up in my head for years but only recently I've decrypted a sequential order to explain it all rationally and compellingly. The dam is finally breaking! Now I just wish I was faster and smoother. It will all get ironed out eventually.

Coconuts are tastier too. Neat idea.

You know your pot shit. I forgot all that I ever knew in 1994 and I long since gave my grow books away. In 2005 I just didn't care beyond watering the thing. And now there's this thing call the Interwebs.

I just remembered one booze I really like, besides Absynth. Maple whisky from Quebec. One Xmas I bought a case for everyone. Didn't last long.

Apple cider vinegar is good at Burning Man for the feet in the alkali playa and for sunburn, so I've heard. I don't know why apple. Maybe it smells better. If you wear shoes all the time then it's not such a problem, but if you don't, after a week out there you run the risk of getting terribly cracked feet, especially between the toes. I always tried to spend as much time there as possible, even up to a few weeks, helping set up and clean up.

Lots of oak barrels here in Windsor, home of Hiram Walkers. Many are now large flower pots.

Aces for bartering, the foundation of Burning Man culture, and gifting/sharing. Anything beyond "normal" commerce.

My grandparents had goats. I'm not a fan. They're stupid stubborn bitches. Satanists can keep em.

Never heard of tung oil before. My grandfather taught woodworking but didn't teach me much. Yet I am a massive enthusiast with advanced to expert knowledge of totem poles and the Pacific NorthWest art and culture. (example) I also have a collection of DIY lazer cut plywood designs I want to unleash upon the world (too modern for my grandpa), that all started with this project mentioned previously in this thread and even more preveiously. Grain and texture is good. In the case of the floor, rather than hide the cheap OSB floor I embraced it with stain.

Have you seen the YouTuber who's made automatic crossbow and bow attachments? Pretty nifty. He's made many versions and documented his developments. And soon they will be available for the masses.

I don't know enough about glues. And since Xmas was cancelled and I burned out rushing to get it all done, I've burned out on my bamboo motivation. Besides I really need to focus on getting my story presentable enough to finally promote it.

OMG! Sounds like you have my dream life - if only I weren't so info/media addicted and liked the outdoors more.

:-)

In 2005-2006 only one seed of a bunch grew in my Oakland window. Planted for fun on a whim. I had sworn off pot as it just wasn't my buzz (nor was booze, but ketamine was!) but I was rebellious and liked plants. In the end that partly sunburnt tree went into a bunch of butter. I later learned that crockpot was rice cooker - and that's why it kept turning off. After a couple extremely stinky days I just gave it all to my neighbour. She said it kicked ass, and I would have tried it only because I bothered with it all, but I never got around to it.

i used coconut oil, it won't go off.

I have a bunch of seeds now my neighbour gave me. But I need some gear to grow indoors. Or maybe I'll sprout and plant them outside soon. It will all just go to my neighbours. If I were to partake in pot again I'd want to actually learn what the different types do and narrow in on a preference. In the old days you just took whatever was available, good, bad, and ditchweed.

the best method for indoors for me was to stick a lot of seeds in manageable sized trays (6-8 inch soil depth) with perforated bottoms, and then to set those in larger, shallow containers with aerated water (just 1-2 inch deep). used two or three cheap aquarium pumps, so the roots wont rot. because they are planted so thickly, the roots don't have much space to develop, that will keep the plants small. bonsai weed, but the yield/sqft was better than any other tek even with just plain cfl's; (but a lot of them, multiple light points from every direction, so there were no shaded areas).

because it's just cfl i had to keep the light close to the top of the plants, but that allowed me to use the smallest grow tent set on its side (the zipper ran horizontally). a cfl can even touch the leaves without burning them.

so it was soil based, but also aquaponics, sort of. and i did 12/12 from seed, so as soon they had the required hormones they went into flower. very efficient, low maintenance, three months/run method. the soil is good for two or three runs. and it can be perpetual: pull a ready tray out to harvest, stick a new one with seeds in..

Friends in Austin Texas used to plant pot on public property - highway cloverleafs, ditches, etc. They were trying to make weed grow like weeds - everywhere! And to make it more difficult to control something already in excess.

ah, yes, the 'overgrow the government' movement! :-)

Some Toronto Burning Man friends have a friendly competition to make the best whisky. I'm not into that, but theirs was actually so good it might be worth it. I wouldn't mind giving it a try at least once. Maybe with cider. Or with flavours hereto unheard of.

i say it's worth it even if you are not a drinker, they are great as gifts. i made about 50 gallons of hard cider two years ago, couldn't drink it all, and now i have a ton of apple cider vinegar. thinking to stick it in an oak barrel and turn it into balsamic. it should work.

Sounds like you could throw a grand party with all your booze.

no, i am squirreling it away! aging is only making it better and i hope to barter it. some neighbors down the street keep bees, others have goats.

I think you mentioned the slingshots before. In my mind it sounds quaint, but I'm guessing there's more to it. I mean, you could go nuts with the aesthetics alone, assuming the carving was purely decorative.

i keep it simple, letting the wood grain be the main attraction. i carve to round the edges, sand it all down, just enough so it is all smooth and ergonomical, coat with tung oil, done. i would like to make bows eventually. way more involved. it's just hard to find good wood.

This fall I built a lot of neat small and geometric things with bamboo food skewers and wood glue. I learned what I can and can't do and how to do it more quickly. I made a lot of presents for Xmas, then my family bailed - so meh. Now I have an excess of lamps and domes and shit. And I've learned that you simply can't drop them a little. I need much better glue. I even have ideas for grander things like furniture with tensegrity, geodesic, and hyperboloid elements - but without a less brittle glue I can't proceed.

pva is too brittle? maybe glue gun glue sticks or epoxy?

OMG! Sounds like you have my dream life - if only I weren't so info/media addicted and liked the outdoors more.

I first grew pot in 1994. Too much. Just gave it all away or lost almost half of it (green plants in a green forest).

In 2005-2006 only one seed of a bunch grew in my Oakland window. Planted for fun on a whim. I had sworn off pot as it just wasn't my buzz (nor was booze, but ketamine was!) but I was rebellious and liked plants. In the end that partly sunburnt tree went into a bunch of butter. I later learned that crockpot was rice cooker - and that's why it kept turning off. After a couple extremely stinky days I just gave it all to my neighbour. She said it kicked ass, and I would have tried it only because I bothered with it all, but I never got around to it.

I have a bunch of seeds now my neighbour gave me. But I need some gear to grow indoors. Or maybe I'll sprout and plant them outside soon. It will all just go to my neighbours. If I were to partake in pot again I'd want to actually learn what the different types do and narrow in on a preference. In the old days you just took whatever was available, good, bad, and ditchweed.

Friends in Austin Texas used to plant pot on public property - highway cloverleafs, ditches, etc. They were trying to make weed grow like weeds - everywhere! And to make it more difficult to control something already in excess.

Some Toronto Burning Man friends have a friendly competition to make the best whisky. I'm not into that, but theirs was actually so good it might be worth it. I wouldn't mind giving it a try at least once. Maybe with cider. Or with flavours hereto unheard of.

Sounds like you could throw a grand party with all your booze.

I think you mentioned the slingshots before. In my mind it sounds quaint, but I'm guessing there's more to it. I mean, you could go nuts with the aesthetics alone, assuming the carving was purely decorative.

This fall I built a lot of neat small and geometric things with bamboo food skewers and wood glue. I learned what I can and can't do and how to do it more quickly. I made a lot of presents for Xmas, then my family bailed - so meh. Now I have an excess of lamps and domes and shit. And I've learned that you simply can't drop them a little. I need much better glue. I even have ideas for grander things like furniture with tensegrity, geodesic, and hyperboloid elements - but without a less brittle glue I can't proceed.

the hobby farm is a slow roll also! i am done with the most important part: the garden and orchard, stocked with perennial edibles, so food shouldn't be a problem. did three decks, a chicken coop, a jetty, a duck pond. now i take it easy, don't wanna run out of things to do too soon

i also grew pot years ago. and i just found an ounce, it's a freakin' miracle :-) i also used to distill booze, but i barely drink (unlike some of my neighbors). a lot ended up in medicinal extracts, adaptogens and stuff like reishi and ginseng, and a lot in cooking extracts: vanilla, hazelnuts, coffee, chocolate, amaretto, green walnuts.. and there is still brandy, whisky and rum left, enough for a lifetime, there is just no reason to go on with it.

i also did archery for a few years and collected a few prizes, but now i am carving natural fork slingshots (walnut is really beautiful). it's just more practical. i want to be as good with a slingshot as i am with the bow. small leathercraft projects.. i like learning new things

A slow roll. 19 years now. But now I'm starting to find new ways of getting it out, better, faster, and with a little more focus now and then.

Hobby farm? Sounds crafty and artistic and ambitious too.

I've got too many plates spinning, but I'd make room for one or two more if I could afford it: 2 gardens - indoor and outdoor, ideally with aquaponics or hydroponics to grow veggies and pot (even though I'm not a pot guy, I like to rebel, though now it's legal here in Canada).

i neglect my artistic ambitions while setting up my hobby farm. but i am almost there, maybe two years if i am lazy which i am :-)

Nice.

If you ever figure out a way to share them anonymously, and if you remember my curiosity, lemme know.

Mine expired too. I almost did then as well. Obviously I didn't.

Meanwhile I'm sitting on 3 more domains - a year on May 1. I haven't even finished my first draft. I'm realizing how much more there is to actually writing well. Though this story is far more complex and ambitious and includes concepts most folks haven't been exposed to - so that's a huge issue. But the worst part is having this whole thing all complete in my head yet trying to get it out in a rational and compelling order. Plus I'm realizing I have too much for a single screenplay. I just don't have that much focus either. Those domains may remain empty for some time to come but ultimately it will be worth it, even if it hurts right now. I can't tell you how excited I am to get it presentable enough to start asking for feedback, criticisms, and some ideas.

I wish I'd bothered to actively get my site backed up in 2010 or so. I had bigger problems. I still have it, but it's not all online, backed up. They did it without asking. Maybe they did for you too?

I respect anonymity, but now they know you're a man. All this time I thought you were just a crotchety old woman. :P

He's high end and slick. Nice guy, mostly. It's not my world, nor all the pretense that goes with it. I would have liked it for the girls. Though now looking back I know soooo many photographers - most are great and professional - and it's just another job. The glamour is not essential and it's always artificial. I suppose you could say the same about animation, web design, etc.

I don't actually know enough about photography to shoot anything. I know about it, and all about virtual CGI cameras. I figure in an hour I could pick it up again (and if I didn't use it for years I'd forget it all again. Like electronics, music theory, etc.).

Got an online portfolio?

it's a shame it's instagram, a facebook company (don't have an acc.). i did fashion photography - the catwalk - once or twice and they turned out good. i used available light and the fastest fixed lens i had. ...but it's not my world.

Fashion photographer would have been in my top 10 choices if animator wasn't an option for me.

Fashion photographer Sam was my housemate in San Francisco, ~2000-2002, back when we were all trying to survive the DotBomb - the first crash of internet funding. We lived in an old building in SoMa, at 6th and 985 Howard (now available), in the worst neighbourhood (no problems though, besides being downstream of a wailing fire station on a one-way street). I painted the 2rd floor floor, and later took the valences and book shelf back to Toronto : https://infogalactic.com/info/User:JasonCarswell/gallery#Furniture_design_2001-2003 Digital cameras weren't much of a thing back then.

It's nice to see his work after so long. I haven't been in touch with my SF and Burning Man folks for about a decade. To see Instagram images I was forced to finally sign up for the first time - so old Facebook friends are now rediscovering me.

It's no secret I live in Windsor, Ontario, or that I've done stuff on Wikipedia, including sort and arrange all Windsor, Ontario images on Wikimedia, including this page and this section of excellent and artistic images.

Here are satellite images of Windsor/Detroit: 1 2 I live right below/across from Belle Isle, the larger island near mouth of the Detroit River from Lake St. Clair, before it curves down into Lake Erie.

I should visit this park out my window more often, less than a block away. The Peace Fountain, Belle Isle across the Detroit River, and downtown Detroit in the distance.

Today I made this Category:Photo's by Jodelli. I have no idea who they are but they take good to excellent photos of everything everywhere they go AND copyleft shares them on Flickr, a rarity. I'm not alone in uploading some of his/hers/their images to Wikimedia Commons. Jodelli seems to have an abundance in Windsor but has traveled a lot around Canada and beyond.

Typical sunset in Windsor, at the Peace Fountain Source.

Obviously I shared more than one image, but if I had to pick just one:
A non-typical (processed) sunset in Windsor, at the Peace Fountain ; Source on Reddit r/SkyPorn ; Source on Google

Honorable mention for the Ambassador Bridge emerging from fog erasing Detroit. Fog is not common here, much less so high and dense. This rare imagery is far more typical for San Francisco where the fog makes cold summers.

Sure there are an abundance stock images of glamorous processed photos out there, but they aren't copyright-free. Nonetheless, here are a few because I can't decide and can't limit myself:

Detroit at dusk from Windsor, doesn't look too rough from here.

Exactly. I wonder if there is any kind of universal adapter.

for those thinking this is a spam i have this to offer: the site is chock full of extremely useful user reviews of gear that are helpful when shopping for equipment, they are factual, unbiased, and independent. the forums are also by the people, for the people. i consulted this site about every piece of kit i own. i never regretted it and i saved a lot by perusing it.

also, i am not affiliated with the site in any way...
