How rude!

People can be so cruel. I'm so sorry hun. Don't let other people define how you feel about yourself. They aren't worth it.

Very rude and mean

I hope you slapped the person who said that to you. So rude and they certainly deserve a slap across the face in my humble opinion, I've seen your photos and you are far from being an "ugly" woman. :xmashug:

people can be so rude. don't let someone's stupidity turn yourself against who you are. you are beautiful and super talented. focus on the good things in life no matter how small they are and push out all of the negative. :xmashug:

If they meant what they said than it is absolutely dreadful.

Where have manners gone these days? The old fashioned things that we used to get taught like if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. I'd like to wash their mouth out with soap. Ugh, I remember how horrid that was!

Don't listen to people who say stuff like that, they are not decent people and certainly not worth you wasting your thoughts on.

If they were saying it in jest, than they must not know you well enough because they obviously don't realise it hurts. You would have to know someone very very well to be able to say something like that in jest and know they were going to receive it as a joke and not be hurt.

I feel like that... it's like, I've always got a mean girl sitting on my shoulder, telling me that I'm never going to get married, or have a boyfriend, because I have acne, and adhd, and autism, and acne scars from my anxiety disorder called picking.
I'll scratch my face and sink without thinking until I bleed, I'll twirl my hair until the ends split, and I shake uncontrollably when I'm emotional.
I forget to do things, like the shopping for the week.
I have trouble with common sense, I will try everything but the correct answer
It's crushing... but it's ok! your not alone! Everybody hurts some times.
it'll be ok trust me.
Just pick one thing you really like about yourself and build of of that. Chip away at the shell you've made around your self, and your self-image.
And remember that you are (your name) and you don't care what they say, because you are you, and the best you is who you want to be!
Sorry, I sound like a bubbly blonde... I hope this helps you feel better! :blush:


Thanks guys. I've been avoiding reading responses to this cause I didn't want to spread negativity and dwell on it but it was a real mood I was on at the time

Basically some stranger attacked my personal appearance and misunderstood a comment I made and assumed it was something it wasn't. I'm used to this happening by now as a lot of people assume the worst about me. My former sis-in-law did that a lot too and it's why we were never close.

Well anyhoodle, I'm building myself up by reclaiming a rainbow goth personal style. I'm always most confident, comfortable and at my hest when I'm goth. A.lot more people find me more attractive too cause goth is just how I'm supposed to be.

This style was originally inspired by Tiff from Bride of Chucky. I fell in love with her look back around the year 2000 and should never let that go.

Also I returned to.this threaf cause... MY PSYCHIATRIST PUT ME ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS!!!!! These are taken along with my ptsd meds!!!! So I'm hoping this fixes so much!!!!
So far, I'm on my very first pill. I'm feeling the need to just do everything I want, so far. I think that's a start.

Also, I HAD to take low sugar diet seriously so I've lost 10 lbs. since January 11th. I can now fit in my "Toys Were Us" shirt that used to be too tight for me to wear!

I hope I just keep shedding the lbs. like this.
 
I love to be with you online, I love to talk to to you, when I think of you I smile.
As far as I'm concerned you are my kin. and you are welcome to visit my crazy whenever you like. And if you invite me, I'd be more than happy to make myself at home with your crazy! <3:xmashug:<3
Also, I'm pretty sure E is a little angle in disguise. :lolpony:
I love you too you guys and Ology are the best friends I have ever had

Oo! Great job on the weight loss! My mom had to go to almost no carbs at all. Between that and her giant dog walking her all the time she went from size 18 to a size 8 in less than a year. She’s only 5’1” so the difference is very drastic and she did it through will power alone. I respect that. Changing your diet is like an entire lifestyle change. I had to change mine for my kidneys, but no luck on loss yet. My procedure may find out why. I have, however stayed at the same weight for about 18 months. Not going into stores has definitely helped my candy consumption. I only order the treats that I don’t like, but E loves.
 
I have to wonder... how do animal photographers get such great photos? All I get are butts and blurs. It's like all my critters are on crack, they're just super active. I so long for lovely pics of my sweet babes.

I say this because today I struggled to get just one decent shot of this first first foal, L'il Bitty Gingersnap. She ran and jumped, putting on an adorable show, but I couldn't get a single decent snap. It's maddening. I wonder if I should invest in a tranq gun.

Most of the photographers have special lenses for photographing moving but most likely they have trained pets that are specially trained for taking pictures I have a dream of being a photographer so I've done lots of research on such

I know lots of people who train or bribe their dogs and cats into taking decent pictures. Most of mine are blurry. Maybe one in ten is visible. The resolution and, more importantly, shutter speed, make a huge difference. My little brother just bought a fancy Apple camera. The quality of the pictures in comparison to the iPhone, iPod, or iPad cameras is almost non existent. His camera is amazing. Running pictures of the dog turn out clear and perfect. She might run as fast as your baby. She’s 120lbs of lean muscle. He even got a clear shot of Wesley, and when Wesley gets the zoomies, he’s a blur to the eyes. We must all pitch in to get you a good camera foofoo so we can see pictures of your beautiful babies.

As a hobby photographer I thought I'd add my two pennies worth. Yes, exposure time / shutter speed is relevant if you want to ensure a moving object isn't blurred. You'll want a fast shutter speed, so if your camera has a time value (Tv) setting, select the shutter speed you want while the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure correct exposure. If you choose the fastest shutter speed possible (aperture value doesn't blink), then the camera will use the maximum aperture, which results in a very shallow depth of field, so your object wouldn't be entirely in sharp focus, especially if shooting from a short distance and/or the animal moved towards you. So you'll want an aperture of around f/8.0 or even a higher f-number (smaller aperture), depending on the depth of your scene.

If lighting conditions don't allow for a fast enough shutter speed, you should increase the ISO value (e. g. from ISO 100 to ISO 400 or 800) in order to achieve faster shutter speeds in conjunction with smaller apertures (higher f-numbers).

Which shutter speed you need in order to shoot a non-blurred photo depends on the speed your object moves with. An example: I did this photo of a fountain at ISO 200 and a shutter time of 1/2000 with an aperture of f/8.0:

IMGP9128.JPG


This may now sound very confusing and complicated, but I always find it's easiest to just experiment with the different shutter speed and aperture values until you have found the ideal camera settings for your scene. If your animals are running around, just do a few photos, perhaps start with a shutter speed of 1/1000 and an aperture of f/8.0 check the result and if the animal is still blurry from motion increase the shutter speed gradually until it's entirely in sharp focus with a blurred background.

I shoot with a full-frame DSLR, but as far as I know, modern smartphones now also have a manual mode where you can preset the shutter speed, ISO speed and the aperture. My Sony mobile phone only lets me choose the shutter speed and ISO manually, but not the aperture. But for scenes like you described it will certainly yield better results than shooting in full-automatic mode. :)

Nice! You know what you’re talking about! That’s a cool picture, too!

Oh my gosh your a photographer it's my big dream to become one I'm really good at it and I have a $600 dollar camera that takes fantastic shots

Yeah whenever I let myself have sugar splurges, I get burning flank pain usually affiliated with bladder/kidney infections. So I literally am forced to live without sugar which is hard to do but at this point I HAVE to do it no matter what.
Just means it explains why I've been making excessive sweets-themed customs lol
 
Thanks for the advice, all! This should be helpful indeed.

@IceCrystal What a beautiful photo! You should start a thread and show off more of your work!

She got some beautiful pictures in all the color and random pictures threads. Now I know why!
 
Thanks everybody!

@evilbunnyfoofoo: Looking very much forward to seeing your animal shots! If you upload them to a site like flickr we'll be able to see the meta data of your shots, which will help if you need further tips to improve your photography. :)

If you're interested to see some more shots, I have uploaded a few of my photos to flickr, they can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/189410416@N08/albums. My main interest lies in nature, steamship and steam train photography. :)
