scrubs season six posted:Get her a Pentax K1000 and tell her that any good photography class includes developing and printing your own pictures. That's a total waste of time unless you plan on using large format for fine art photography. At this point shooting film is just a novelty, ask me how I know.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:That's largely true, but there's something about actually working with film and learning what the terminology really means outside of an Adobe menu that is incredibly useful, satisfying, and can help with more intuitively navigating Photoshop/Lightroom. I learned on film just as digital was taking starting to take a foothold, and even did lots of paid work on film. The amount of time (a lot) I spent in dark rooms was fun, but really completely useless as the time would have been better spent learning how to use photoshop.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I've taken college credit photography classes.... one of which was long ago enough (2002) that it required a specific model of full manual SLR 35mm (I believe Pentax, actually), and learning how to use the campus darkroom (that darkroom is now a closet).That camera had NOTHING automatic; it had a light meter, and that was it - everything else was up to you. I've got a giant 60x30 print hanging on my wall off a 35mm B&W negative I shot at a local state park of an old Spanish war era fort. Normally it's close to impossible to get a good print that big off 35mm, but I lucked out because the exposure was perfect and the guy that made the print was a master at his craft. I also have TONS of B&W family portraits around the house. I definitely had fun shooting film, but these days it's just too much of a pain to deal with.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:As much as I am a fan of digital and I aint touching film again..... in all honesty film is the best to learn with, for one specific reason - there's no room for mistakes. It forces you to think about the shot, how to compose, how to set the apature and field of focus becuase as soon as you press the button that's it and you only got 11 or up to 35 more shots availible with no edit and no erase. It really makes you learn how to use a camera properly and I really apreciate using the old Pentax SLR for that reason. That's all well and good, but these days with expensive schools and people trying to learn how to make a living at it (good luck) it's really just a waste of time imo. When I was in school we spent WAY too much time in the dark room when we could have been on photoshop instead. Fact is you don't have to get the shots right the first time anymore, that's a thing of the past. Do I wish it was different? Sure, because if there was no such thing as digital cameras right now I'd be making a killing shooting film because unlike most people coming into the industry I CAN get it right the first time.

You're right, I've owned them all. The last one I flipped after I got it for 700, fixed the ecu fault (you can get the fix on ebay) cleaned it up and sold it for 3k. Not as cool as Samurais because you cant take the doors off. And yes they are all gutless wonders.

If the scratches are as bad as you say I'd take it to a pro detailer and get an opinion. Some guys can work wonders with some compound and a professional buffer. I wouldn't want to tackle that myself with a lovely buffer and make things worse.

About to begin a massive fence building project because I refuse to hire anyone after seeing the "quality" of the $7k fence my friend just had Lowes put up. That's funny, I was just quoted 7k from Home Depot to replace my fence, and said gently caress it I'll do it myself. Yesterday I went to Lowes and ordered everything I needed besides a gate for under 3k with 0% for 12 months. All I gotta do is get cement now, just gotta figure out how much I need and have it delivered because gently caress getting that poo poo by myself

Sinestro posted:I've got Crohn's, this is not my experience. I'm sorry it's got you bad though. I can't complain too much, there are people that have it a lot worse than me. I'm 6 foot, used to average about 165, and went as low as 148 when I was first diagnosed, and now I can keep it around 155. If I eat a poo poo ton and lift weights I can stay around 160 but it's a lot of work. Especially with low energy issues, pain, and just not wanting to eat in general cuz of the disease. I just saw a medical marijuana doctor recently and I'm waiting on my card so hopefully that will help

Powershift posted:Keep fighting. I've been battling UC, completely off meds, the remicade quit working, and the only alternate suggested by the doctor is surgery. Wow, are you using marijuana at all for it? I can't imagine needing surgery for this poo poo. I'm not giving up tho that's for sure. Supposedly there are some people close to a cure and there's live human trials going on right now, we'll see but here's to hoping.....I was coincidentally at the VA today having my gastro doctor telling me he wants to put me on Humira because the steroids I've been on aren't doing squat.....And then scoffs at the idea of cannabis helping for anything other than appetite. Joke's on him because as soon as I get my MM card I'm done with meds, lots of people having success with MM, some even going into remission.

Powershift posted:I tried CBD oil for a while, but again it's only mild symptom management. You have to watch because a lot of "commercial" marijuana strains are high THC and almost no CBD, which is the opposite of what would help. CBD helps with inflammation, and an increase in appetite can help you eat enough to not starve, but again all it's doing is managing a few symptoms. Depending on the symptoms though, it might be all you need to feel normal There are a few strains right now that are very high in CBD almost 50/50 with THC, that's what I'm shooting for and hopefully the dispensary I end up going to will have it available. The THC actually takes the edge off the pain really well, and if I can get the CBD with that to control the inflammation I think I can go med free.....I'm really hoping that it will work  quote:My biggest problems with appetite and food seem to be almost entirely in my head. From keeping food journals, writing what i ate and correlating that to symptoms, i ended up identifying basically all food with pain. I would gag and get nauseous at the thought of eating something, but if i force myself to eat, within a few bites it's fine. It's just really hard to force yourself to go through the effort of preparing a meal, and i could imagine marijuana would help with that. I'm having a really hard time trying to identify what foods cause a flare up, it's almost impossible. Some days it seems like everything sucks, and other days i can eat whatever the gently caress I want.....I'm starting to think my doctor might be right about food not really making a difference, but he has also admitted there's a big study going on right now about food correlation so who knows. I love coffee and tried giving it up thinking it would help and there was no difference, started drinking again and no change, and supposedly coffee is a BIG no no.  quote:UC is a little different, in only affecting the colon, but what i've had success with is avoiding any food with emulsifiers like sodium stearol-2-lactylate or polysorbate 20/40/60/80, they've been proven to allow bacteria to transverse the mucosal layer in the colon Could you be more specific here? Got a link to more info? I'd pm you but you don't have pm's. quote:It's a huge pain in the rear end to research this stuff, because it seems anybody who wants to can call themselves a doctor, and a lot of bullshit "naturopaths" latch on to bits and pieces of the science, and begin to bend it to their agenda. You get 10 paragraphs into Dr. fuckface's dissertation and he starts saying poo poo like "leaky gut" and "detoxify" and you realize his doctorate is in magic from the christian science university of the bahamas and in the time you lost reading his bullshit, you could have gotten that same accreditation. Lol yep. I'm a member of a crohns forum and everyone's experience is so different it's hard to get any solid info there either. Everyone reacts differently to meds, but at least from what I've seem MM is having a positive effect on almost all the people that are using it. Good luck man, it sounds like you're on the right track to staying med free. NitroSpazzz posted:Anything that fucks your digestive tract that much usually means struggling to eat enough to keep weight on. Trying to gain weight...good luck hope you like eating to the point of feeling sick. That's exactly my issue. I can get to the weight I want, but it's so much loving work shoving food down my throat it just gets tiring and I don't care after awhile, then I'm shortly back down to the 155 range. Another problem with not being able to absorb food properly is strength, I've never felt so weak in my entire life, I'm 46 yrs old and I feel like I'm 80  Thinking about getting a spin bike to try and keep the strength in my legs  IBD chat itt

Home ownership is overrated. Just started work on replacing my worn out wood fence with a vinyl fence, 28 8 foot panels. Then I have to replace all the grass with new sod and install a sprinkler system, so about a month's or more worth of weekends are ruined. Yay?

Wistful of Dollars posted:Just ignore the tornado warning. What's the worst that could happen? You land in the next county over, crush an old lady and become lord of the midgets? Years ago when i was in Talladega Alabama covering a NASACAR race, I decided to tent camp in the track infield since it was free and i could use the showers in the garage area. One night before going to bed, I remember hearing people talk about a storm coming but didn't really pay much attention. Cue waking up in the middle of the night to my tent trying to take flight and tornado sirens blaring with inaudible announcement which I assumed was saying PUT YOUR HEAD BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND KISS YOUR rear end GOODBYE. I have never got up and got dressed that fast in my life, the whole time trying not to poo poo myself while doing it, and got into my car which wasn't all that safe but a hell of a lot safer than a tent. That morning in the media center everyone was freaking out about what happened including most of the drivers when it was comfirmed a tornado had indeed touched down very close to the track

Yeah it sounds to me like he has no clue what it actually means, and is more likely trying to cover his rear end for it not being done in the first place.
