    Perhaps he's blocking them from public view? I meant directed towards me in general; on social media/etc...

    Learning photography from AI?

    I don't think I saw them... there were only two comments posted/showing... I didn't watch the video. For a while I kept getting shown ads for this AI software that was all about compositional rules/guides/flow. It supposedly determined the way a person would view an image and how their eyes...

    NSFW How to get sharp shadow edges

    Note that the edges are already pretty "hard" and defined... they just look more like an outline due to the "bounced fill." (I hope that doesn't qualify as "edit my images")

    Guidance for asylum seekers (and street photographers!)

    But it has nothing to do with "perving" photography... What, you think that doesn't happen anyway/already/by citizens? This is a very slippery slope where they get you to agree with a policy by blaming/targeting "them" while also subverting your rights...

    NSFW How to get sharp shadow edges

    I believe Neil could place his light outside the entrance to his studio which would (potentially) accomplish everything at once (distance, spill control, etc)

    Guidance for asylum seekers (and street photographers!)

    Definitely; because the full section is far less inhibiting. And there are quirks to the law which makes the general guidance of value to someone who doesn't know the particulars (and wants/needs to avoid any unnecessary issues/complications)

    NSFW How to get sharp shadow edges

    The wide/translucent shadow edges show that your main problem is "spill"; because your studio is fairly small and has light colored walls. This is part of a drawing I made many years ago to help explain/show why "soft" modifiers become "hard" when used from too far away... and using your...

    Camera filters

    You asked here and got that response? Or did you misunderstand when you were told not to use a 9 stop VND (which is/was the right answer)? Does your variable ND have an external thread? If so, and you insist on using these filters together, then I would get a step ring to mount your Cokins to...

    Front focusing?

    It doesn't really matter what is causing the motion, camera shake from being handheld, using an unlocked gimbal head, wind, etc... it will affect the finest details first.

    Peli case vs Nanuk vs Temu??

    I did a quick check and the 1510 wheels can be upgraded. The poly wheel upgrade (or Nanuk) are better at absorbing small bumps and transfer less vibration to your gear... plus they just roll better. The Nanuk HD wheels would be better for unpaved areas, but might not be "better" if they are also...

    Peli case vs Nanuk vs Temu??

    The wheels on the Temu case I've seen are junky. And they cannot be replaced with skate wheels like the Pelican can (Nanuk already uses them?). Actually, I'm not sure the smaller Pelican case wheels can be upgraded (I haven't done it to mine). Edit: If you're not concerned with carry-on...

    Front focusing?

    How and why do/would you crop to exactly 2048 pixels wide? The only way that ever happens for me is with resizing on export.

    Front focusing?

    I still don't think it's original size, unless you specifically cropped it to 2048 px long edge... but could be. I don't see much to complain about... it's had a good bit of sharpening applied; maybe a touch heavy but not bad. Noise reduction isn't excessive and it hasn't been AI'd. It's just a...
