Maybe they should look at why engagement is down among their existing players instead of trying to shovel in new ones…

I didn’t know it was on Steam. Had that stupid blizzard launcher just for OG Overwatch

Russia is the 2nd biggest weapons dealer in the world, China is the 4th, so for me that “Western imperialist system” part is hollow. We cannot bring down every large government of the world and simultaneously solve every tribal grievance.

Too many countries have internal and external grievances for world peace.

It’s tricky.

You can come close to the perspective with what we call a “normal” lens (50mm focal length on full frame, 35mm on APS-C Crop sensors).

The other issue you have is that human vision is not a sharp rectangle and that it’s extremely dynamic. You can look around a scene and refocus your vision almost instantly, while a photograph provides one fixed viewpoint and focus.

One more thing to improve perspective in images can be the use of comparisons in the image. A mountain with a house or a person at the bottom can look bigger because our brain knows how big those things are and understands the scale. In the case of the spider I usually photograph them next to a coin, as most people will recognise how big that is.

It’s due to the field of view of the lens and perspective distortion.

Very annoying.

You see a huge mountain, you think “I’ll need a very wide lens to fit this in” and then the mountain looks very small.

Say no.

If you give them your raw files then they will essentially own your image and use it for whatever they want, edited how they want.

Provide Jpeg only, and with a maximum width of 2048px which is suitable for all social media.

Say you take these pictures for free, and a rider becomes famous, or dies, or in twenty years there’s an exhibition on the history of the sport - you want to be the person in control of those images.

Personally I wouldn’t bother. A lot of high street stores and supermarkets offer photo printing for a few pence per image and the quality is massively superior to those products.

Katrin Eismann books on Photoshop are ok but a bit dated, you can probably find them online. The problem with Adobe CC is by the time a book is written it’s already out of date, so the best resources in my opinion are probably YouTube videos. Lynda.com/LinkedIn has a few bits, so does skillshare, probably good for a beginne but lacking in advanced skills. There’s loads on Udemy but it’s mostly absolute garbage so be careful, even if the course is on some sort of 90% sale it might not be worth it.

My advice would be to do a basic intro course, and then start editing, everytime you get stuck google the solution or watch a video on that topic.

One watchout with YouTube is the styles are all very samey and they will push you towards a certain look.

MS didn’t do nefarious things with their market power? They virtually killed all competition in the market.

Chrome is worse. Because Chrome isn’t about having you use the browser, its about knowing what you do with the browser. Google already changes it’s search page, for example, on mobile Firefox can’t see the same sports results and league tables, and can’t easily see the reviews of local restaurants etc.

A bit of humour is fine, but when it drowns out the actual information it’s frustrating.

Yeah if people start going for Karma we’ll be plagued by “this” and stupid puns. Yesterday I saw a reddit post where the guy misspelled WiFi as Wife when explaining his problem, and then the top 10 comments were “omg dude you can’t just get a new wife” or “I wouldn’t come to Reddit for a problem with my wife”

The actual solutions to the problem were rubbish too
