Great collection

Onexpiece_hearts • Vor 7 Stunden • #78764354Try to use bubblewrap to cushion it in the cardboard box so that it doesn’t break while it is in transit. If you don’t have any bubble wrap then you can try using newspaper as well. Thank you! :D

Happy B-day! ^_^

cute • Vor 33 Minuten • #78764738i completely get it. it's so horribly frustrating too because you think about these awful things and you KNOW they're bad and you don't like thinking about them, but because they're such persistent and obsessive thoughts you start to doubt yourself and it furthers the thought that you're actually a disgusting person who enjoys such horrible things :(
i just have to constantly remind myself that i'm not, and that there are thousands of other people who deal with the same thing.. it's really hard at first, but it does get better (especially with therapy and/or medication). i've been dealing with it mildly since i was a teenager, but my GAD got really bad last year due to work related stress and since then it's been more persistent than ever for me, but i'm finally starting to have less anxiety over it! funnily enough, work is now one of the things that helps take my mind off of it
like i said, you're definitely not alone ♡♡♡ i genuinely hope things start to get better for you soon!

I think the fact that I'm scared of being these things and that these thoughts upset me might help me to understand that I'm not a horrible person because they upset me. I know I'm definitely not alone but I also know that I must work on a lot of this mostly by myself so that the cycle can be defeated once and for all. I've had a new obsession almost daily/ within a few days since April. I think this has probably been affected by the lockdown and not being able to see my partner properly. If I could ask for anything in the world it would be to just stop worrying about these things.

Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one!

TheMochiMachine • Vor 1 Stunde • #78764700It's just absolutely terrible thinking you might be something terrible like a p***, a r*****, someone obsessed with dead people or something, it's absolutely heart crushing. I've went through umpteen obsessions rapidly (a new one every day or for the longer ones a new one each week). I'm so sick of them and once they are gone I am gonna be so grateful for not having daily anxiety.

Not a big fan of rathalos or nargacuga in the game... but they look great and I love the idea of the line... I really hope they'll make some of my favorites : Anjana , Odogaron, Legiana, Dodogama and my number 1 Paolumu the cutest monster !!
But I'm hesitate to buy these 2 if they don't do any others... what should I do ?

AveragePerv • Vor 8 Stunden • #78764346There's nothing wrong with the picture, sometime ago MFC in the side part of the picture, usually give the Exif data of the image, and those numbers were very helpfull to understand the images in here
Try to use another source of light, and complement the ones you have, or diffuse the one you got, that way you wont have to push the shadows, the ISO noise in in the black background, i think you may try to recover exposure in the shadows and that ring the noise, as ISO400 isnt high at all
1/160 is good to freeze the image, f6.3 will give ebough deep of field, to avoid loose the focus, (im not Nikon user, i use Pentax and Fuji) try to use AF-L (to lock focus) and then recompose without moving on the Z angle of the camera, only Y or Z, or if its have good enough track focus, lock the focus on the face and recompose
(Of course you can use some focus point close to the face, maybe im more used to use center focus point)
If you hace a tripod, use LiveView, activate focus peaking, and will be very easy to achieve focus on what you desire
While im not an expert and theres a lot to me to grow in photography, and i recognize my photos arent the best out there, i normaly use f4, 1/200, ISO100 sometime ago i threw myself deep and use like 3-4 lights, the last ones are only using a softbox and 1 flash
Dont worry, youre pictures are good, with some practice you will achive the image you are looking
If i can help somehow, you can ask anything, and there a lot of feedback when you ask for in the forum from great figure photographers as well
Cheers

Thank you so much for the advice, especially with the multiple light sources.

Sadly my camera doesn't have face focus if I recall, but I'll double check (would make life easier haha). But since this picture I have learnt about F-lock, and also assigned it to a separate function button than the shutter button. So I don't accidentally mess with the focus Haha xD.

I do have a tripod, and have tried using it for figure and cosplay shoots. But if I'm being honest I find it so restrictive. I like to change my angle and position constantly, kind of work in the moment to find just~ the right angel I want. So I really only used the tripod when I was doing a long exposure in a crowd to give a motion effect. Though admittedly that definitely adds to the focus issue Haha XD.

Thanks ago for the advice, I really mean it. This is the first constructive criticism I've ever got on my pics beyond "she looks hot" and stuff. It's a great help and I really appreciate it, as I've wanted to improve my photography so much more than it currently is.
