I get dozens of #power #energy #electricity #comparison #calls form #indian call centres in Sydney and Melbourne - they won't give up - they want to make me change my power company no matter what so they get a commission - evil #telemarketers #australia - Indians won't comply with Australian laws not to ring so much - they will ring to make money, that is all they care about - brutal marketing technique - this is all because of war in Ukraine pumping up power prices for about last 2 years and government doing nothing but giving subsidies but not curtailing prices - power companies are raking in the profits from government subsidies and high prices

A little #beforeandafter comparison, demonstrating my editing style/aesthetic. This shot was in B&W from the get-go: on the left is a straight out of camera JPEG version (created in camera, I set RAW and JPEG creation in tandem) of it that served as a proof for viewing, on the right is the end result after making adjustments in #lightrooom and #photoshop (don't remember exactly what I did but it was minimal, including lifting shadow/dark tones a bit). Sometimes #lessismore as I tread a fine line between natural looking and vibrant w/photo editing. Model: Karina. Camera and lens info: #fujixt3 and #tamron1770mmf28. Settings: 48mm (71mm full frame equivalent), ISO 400, f/2.8, 1/180 using natural light, aperture priority mode. #blackandwhite #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #monochromemagic #photography #photo #photoediting #demo #comparison #portraiture #portraitphotography #woman #model #cowgirl #countrygirl #flower #cowboyhat #rural #rurallife #adobe #fujifilm #tamron #aperturepriority #naturallight #naturallightphotography #naturallightportrait

Wishes - Collage

A continuation for my post last Friday, as usual, this is a collage of test shots that I've made during the make of this shot. I've tried a number of f-stops for varying shallow depth of field looks. The images here, of course, are unedited and purely out of camera; the original one posted last Friday was edited and enhanced (well, to some extent I suppose).
For the final result, I've settled for f/5.6, but I think f/4 was also good (and maybe even better for the idea as I've envisioned it first). Strangely, though, f/11 was not as sharp as I was expecting it to be, as there is a bit of blur in the background and the matchsticks at the back. This particular setting was shot with the new 35mm lens and without using any extension tube, so it was a bit weird to have such softness at f/11. However, the image I had in mind needed a shallow depth of field so it definitely needed something less than f/8.

🚨 Alert, alert! 🚨 A venture capitalist predicts the internet's doom in 2004, comparing it to a perilous neighborhood filled with muggers and questionable morals. 👀 Because, obviously, everyone knows the best investment advice comes from someone who equates the web with getting held up by the same guy twice. 🤯📉

Did another Inkscape vs. Illustrator test and while for me Potrace (which is what Inkscape uses) outperforms Illustrator on b&w / lineart drawings, Illustrator does win the full-colour battle.

Basically Illustrator is more accurate, better capturing the details, while Inkscape is a bit glitchy and looses some destails.

This is made using 16 colours for both pieces of software, tweaking the settings to get the best possible result.

A comparison of vector tracing between illustrator and Inkscape. The illustrator image shows more colours and greater fidelity than the Inkscape one, which looses some detail and shows some glitchy details.

Illustrator vs. Inkscape
Image tracing match

I had to vectorize an illustration I have made for a client, and first tried Illustrator, with really poor results (as you can see below), and this despite trying every possible combination of settings. I just never looked even halfway decent.
Then I tried #inkscape and to my surprise it produced an excellent result, even with the default settings!
Ok… I shouldn't be surprised actually 😀

An image showing the black&white tracing result through both Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. The left image is all jagged, and lacks both precision and clarity. The right image, produced with Inkscape looks almost like the original.
