Thank you @Joe Cuber
@Theezy, I have a degree in Visual Arts, but my specialty is drawing. The painting I'm testing and learning by myself. It is a good hobby and you can create your own style! There are some videos on YouTube teaching some stuff if you want to learn. And since I can't leave the house lately, I buy my materials through Amazon.
That is beautiful. I got into adult coloring books and jigsaw puzzles lately. Sometimes I also draw.
Really nicely done. I wish I could paint... I've tried hehe. I can see how painting can be a very effective mindful activity.
Love Bob Ross. Listening to him talk is soothing and his painting of course, except for some of those brush strokes. It's a nice distraction.
That's some cool stuff @bobvann, do you use any particular tools?I do 3D render art
Deep emotions in those lyrics @Foamearplugssuck. I like the line "My heart is knit to you". I hope one day you'll be able to record it.
Nice painting!
That must be super difficult... all the digital art.
Nahh, it's a lot more intense for that type quality. My two rigs are 5-year-old i7 10 core 64 GB tower with a 2080 TI graphics card and a newer 12th gen i7 16 GB laptop with a RTX3070 TI. The program is called DAZ 3D which is free but then you acquire content to build scenes from scratch. I have been at this since 2009. Since I can't drum anymore, at least it's something I still can do.
I prefer Fujifilm processing as well. Love their film simulations. Technically they are Sony sensors though. But my Fuji is so slow and can't shoot much if it's moving but the files (detail, colors, tonality) are amazing. If it's a moving subject or I wanna make a video, I gotta get my Canon.
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, the whole process was/is such a joy for me. I would go to Disneyland just before closing and I would wait until the park was empty. I was the first photographer to start this trend. Each time I left I felt like I got to take a piece of Disneyland with me. And processing, which usually takes about 4 hours, a joy for me just going over each detail meticulously trying to perfect each detail if a place I love makes me so content. Many of the photos I have are of things that no longer exist at Disneyland or have been altered. It's a bit of preserving history as well.
I have highly reactive tinnitus, so just one trip would probably elevate my tinnitus to new levels unimaginable. I can't handle any sounds from a speaker and Disneyland plays music throughout the entire park nonstop. I at least keep up-to-date as to what's going on in the Park through a Disney forum. Besides, it's allowed me to pursue other things like 3-D animation and product photography so I keep busy artistically in some way or another.Thanks for sharing @another sean and expressing your own passions. Your Disneyland pursuit is a worthy endeavor. It's a shame you're not currently pursuing that, seems like such a loss. Are you sure you wouldn't be able to take it up, at least occasionally? I'm glad you have a back stock to go through. At 4 hours a photo, that'll keep you plenty busy
