Sweet Beginnings Tag 🌱

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

I was tagged by @panicsimss @kazroze and @cantseemtohide — thanks lovelies! My apologies in advance for searing your eyeballs 🥲

My very first (!!!) post is from June 2018, which means I’ve been posting here on a near daily basis (with a few breaks here and there) for 5+ years.

That’s right. This has been my primary hobby for over 5 years. And I’m still so bad at this!

Looking back and comparing my very first gameplay to my current BACC, I’m struck right in the optic nerve by the different aesthetic choices, for sure, but also by a certain sort of parallel…? A matriarchal alien colony establishing itself on earth, a group of survivors banding together to rebuild a new, better society amidst a zombie apocalypse… Chuck in my La Boca Cerrada series (survival! Nietzsche! hedonism!) and you’ve got quite the psychological profile going. 😁

Remembering a Sunday in Ashland by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across a carpet of fallen leaves in Lithia Park during a stay in Ashland Oregon. This image was captured with my iPhone using a portrait orientation. My thinking in composing this image was to use that look and capture a sweeping view over the fallen leaves with its autumn colors across this city park landscape. With the overcast and cloudy skies that late afternoon, I felt it helped to bring out more vibrant colors in the image captured. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Busty Asian Beauties

& Voluptuous Asian Lovelies

I decided to have a go at creating the front and rear covers of the infamous Busty Asian Beauties and the first edition Voluptuous Asian Lovelies adult magazines, featured in Supernatural.

Throughout the 15 seasons, to my knowledge, we see a total of five different magazines for Busty Asian Beauties, and of course the original first edition titled Voluptuous Asian Lovelies.

According to Supernatual.fandom.com here , We first see Busty Asian Beauties in Season 2 episode 15 on the laptop screen and again in Season 3 episode 14.

We first see a magazine in Season 4 episode 1, and again in episode 8. From then on we see another magazine in Season 5 episode 12. Then Season 8 episodes 10, 17 and 22. Following onto Season 9 episodes 4 and 16, then Season 10 episodes 1, 3 and 18 and finally Season 12 episode 18.

I have used Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator and InDesign to create, from scratch, the various front covers we see in the show, not leaving out the original first edition that Dean finds in the bunker. I also re-created the back cover.

For the internal content, I purchased 6 various adult magazines online and then printed the finished covers onto 180gsm glossy photo paper with the printer set to borderless and 'best'. They printed very well and then I glued the covers to the original covers of the magazines. I like how the finished product looks.

If you would like to create your own magazines from the covers or interested in obtaining the front covers, I have just added them to my Etsy shop at JournalofaWinchester here

( https://journalofawinchester.etsy.com )

If you are interested in ordering, the image files will immediately be sent to your email where you can download them. Please only use them for your own personal reasons. Please do not redistribute them as I have spent an awful lot of time on them.

Wishlist Haul

All I asked for were pants, and those are coming Saturday. But you all came through in a big way with my wishlist and helped me solve some problems that have really been bugging me lately.

One of my biggest current issues is my decision to use my M1 MacBook Air as my main computer until I can move my PC upstairs at some distant time in the future. Which means I need to ask a lot more of it. And it is capable, as these Apple Silicon devices are amazing and very zippy, but I only got 256 GB of storage because I thought this would just be a secondary computer while I was taking care of my dad.

So I need storage. And if you do photography and use Lightroom, you know you need *fast* storage. In the days of spinny disc drives, going back and forth between images was maddeningly slow. I already hate the process of culling photos and picking the best ones. And sometimes you'd need to find 5 winners out of a few hundred. And when it took 3 seconds to switch between every photo, I wanted to die. And honestly, it could still be better.

But one of the best solutions is a super fast SSD. Which I had. I bought it right before my parents got especially ill and was planning to install it in my PC. But my priorities changed and I just never found the energy.

The problem is that was an internal NVME SSD. I needed it to be external.

Which is where this little thingie comes in.

This is an NVME enclosure, and if you are looking for cheap, fast external storage, this is so much better than those external SSDs they overcharge for. For $200 they give you a 2TB drive that can read about 2000 MB per second. Or you can get a 2TB NVME and this enclosure for the same price and get 3000 MB per second. Not only that, but it is upgradeable. In a year when 4TB is $100, you can plop that in. And the Mac's Thunderbolt 4 has a max speed of around 5000 MB/s, so there is room to improve there as well. Though sometimes advertised speeds are not reality speeds.

The only thing you need to be aware of is these drives run hot. You're going to think there is something wrong with them. Like, they top out at 90C. Which is nearly 200 degrees in freedom units.

I wanted a convenient way to mount my drive, but I didn't want 200 degrees on the back of my screen, so... MAGNETS!

And I can stack a few more if that section starts feeling too hot.

So, I have that problem solved. I can now use this as my main computer and work on my photography.

Next up... fashion!

I'm going out more and I want to look a little more presentable. I thought these two tone shirts looked a little more fashionable. And they are very comfortable too. I have a red one that I think I'm going to wear on my trip. I know you can't see the two tone well in the picture, so here is the product photo of the red one.

Next problem?

Well, it's maybe not a problem so much as something cool I wanted. A black light!

My mom had all of this uranium glass and I had no idea my salt shaker was marginally radioactive all these years. I really wanted to take a proper photo of some of the glass before it all gets sold at auction. So this should be a fun experiment.

I will say, if you don't have uranium glass, don't get a black light. You will want to burn your house down. It does not matter how clean you think you got something... you didn't clean it enough. And I have all of this dry flaky skin on my feet. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't bother me. You can't even really see it unless you look really close. But when I shined the light on my feet they looked like they had some undocumented disease. I will not be sharing a photo of that.

But the depression glass, that's super neat.

Some proper photos coming soon I hope. Maybe after my trip.

Next problem!

My key fob. This thing is a piece of shit.

Even if it looks cool under a black light, it is THE WORST.

It's cheap plastic, it takes a stupid watch battery, the symbols on the buttons all wore off. And all of that I could handle, but for some reason this fob has an effective range of about 2 feet. I literally have to be standing next to the door before it will work.

I had a black fob that worked much better, only the plastic casing was falling apart. But I taped it up as best I could and hoped it would not fall apart. Then I went to get my tires changed and they needed the fob to do some special reset of the pressure sensors and the battery died before they could. I went home to try and change the battery, and the entire thing basically disintegrated on me.

The inside looks like this.

The battery retention contact is held on by a tiny dab of solder. And if you pull the battery up even a little, it snaps off. And that's what happened. And to make matters worse, the rubber buttons were falling apart and the unlock button just... fell off.

So I was either stuck with the 2 foot range green one or I needed a new fob. Thankfully, they are only 20 bucks for 2 on Amazon. Unfortunately you need a dealer or an auto locksmith to program them. The lowest quote was $100 for about 5 minutes of work. The dealer actually wanted to sell me the fob as well, which they quoted as $150 for ONE. Same cheap plastic piece of shit and everything.

So, I got all of the parts from the broken fob and I hot glued that battery contact back into place and I transplanted that into a shiny new casing.

Works just like new. The buttons feel much better, I can actually see the symbols, and it has a range of at least 100 feet. And that hot glue isn't going anywhere. Changing the battery might be an issue, but these lasted several years.

Next problem!

An intervalometer is a fancy shutter button for a camera that allows very long exposures. It is detached from the camera so you don't shake anything and it needs a backlit screen because if you are using it, you are most likely in the dark.

My intervalometer is about 12 years old and uses another dreaded watch battery. And the backlight on the screen seems to be dead. So it is pretty much useless.

But look at this!

The light even works in the... well, light! And it takes normal batteries. Seriously, watch batteries need to stay in watches.

I don't know if I will get to take a long exposure in Florida, but I want to have this with me in case I do.

Next problem!

This one I actually solved on my own. But I found these stainless iron (yes, iron!) shims and I covered them with black tape and now all of my most used kitchen items never take up counter space.

Yes, I use magnets and hot glue to solve most of my problems.

Next problem!

My garage door is not very smart. And the remote control for it is huge and does not fit in my man purse.

So I downsized the remote.

But I wanted to fix the non-smart thing as well. A while back my brother got into my garage without me knowing. He must have taken a remote of his own. And I really don't feel like figuring out how to change the frequency, so I now have a sensor that lets me know when the door is open with a phone notification. Beyond that, I can open or close the door from my smartphone from anywhere. And I can give access to anyone with a smartphone in case of an emergency.

I will say, this company is really paranoid about people being crushed by garage doors. The instructions tell you to put up this sign in your garage...

And if you use the app to close the door, you get a light show with annoying beeping...

And I know that these accidents happen in real life. But whenever I think about how that could actually happen, all I can imagine is that scene in Austin Powers...

In any case, I am really glad I have this now. And I also like that if I forget to close the garage door, I can check the app and not have to get up to do it.

OH! I almost forgot. If I want, I can have Amazon place packages inside my garage.

Next problem!

What in the heck do I need galvanized steel plates for?

In product photography you need a diffusion panel called a scrim. If you try to buy one of these already made, they are hundreds of dollars. They are mostly made for movie productions, and those items always have inflated costs.

So most product photographers make their own out of tracing paper or a special plastic called Translum. It's $80 per roll, but lasts forever. I used to hang my scrims from the ceiling. But you can't really angle or move them, so you have to move the object you are photographing instead. Which is just a backwards way to work. So I invented my own scrims with two strips of very thin wood, metal chip clips, these little plastic feet that held up plexiglass barriers during COVID. And to weigh everything down... steel plates.

This is version 1.0 where I glued the plastic rather than affixing it with the chip clips.

The clips work much better and allow me to put different weights of plastic on, or even double plastic, for more or less diffusion. And I ended up not needing that board at the bottom which allows me to curve it as well.

And these scrims let me take this photo...

It's called graduated lighting and it makes things look neat.

I also got a backpack for my trip and shorts, but I am going to forego an explanation of those.

To all that helped, thank you so much. I hope you can see I am putting everything to good use.

If you want good quality pictures on your phone which are not processed to death by your phone camera software you need to save your files in RAW and then convert it to jpeg manually. (Raw are heavy so except if you're a professional photographer there is no need to keep it once you've converted it.)

Like I know you should not have to do this manually. Your phone should do it for you. But it doesn't sadly, it automatically applies tones of filters that you did not ask for while converting it into jpeg and that suck. (Including skin lightening! Like wtf)

The only big issue is that you cannot take pictures with the full resolution of your camera but even at 16mp my pics look better than the ultra processed 64mp.

I'm using the following apps and they work fine.

For taking RAW pictures in 16mp:

Manual Camera: DSLR camera Pro (less than 5€)

I've heard that Camera FV-5 works well too, so try both free versions before buying one of them.

For converting your RAW into high quality jpeg:

Raw Image Viewer or Lightroom

I'm gonna go outside to shot some comparison pictures because the ones I have taken today are not ones I want to post lol. So stay tuned.
