I'm trying to find a specific meme template but don't have any visual examples and can only provide a template from memory. I've already tried googling it and using AI and got no good results, so I need a real person to help me out. What subreddit would be best to ask this question?

Yeah I get it, it's free agency and lots of moves are happening. There's a mega thread for that though.

This is a Spurs sub, I'm interested in news and posts directly related to the Spurs. I'm not interested in hearing about trades or moves that other teams make, and if I was I'd look at more general NBA subs. I don't want this community to become cluttered with news about teams that frankly I don't care about. I'm a Spurs fan, not an NBA fan.

CLEAR DESCRIPTION OF USER'S VERY BASIC PROBLEM. ADMISSION BY USER THAT USER DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THING. STATEMENT THAT IS UNKNOWINGLY BLASPHEMOUS TO OR IS A CAUSE FOR DERISION IN THE COMMUNITY. PREEMPTIVE THANKS FOR ANY HELP RECEIVED.

Hey y'all, I'm finding a bit of a struggle with balancing maximising depth of field and minimising camera shake and noise in my photos in situations with worse lighting and I want to start using a flash in my photos. I use a Nikon D850 and the AF-S 105mm F/2.8 lens (with a lens hood), so I need a solution which will cover some length (the lens is about 6-7 inches across from the mount). I own a speedlight flash but I'm wondering if that's sufficient. Do I need to buy some sort of external or attachable light reflector, or will I need an external flash? Thanks, any and all help is appreciated.

I got permanently banned from there so I'm looking for another place to ask general photography questions (IE stuff not about gear). If anyone has any good options let me know.

Basically I'm very hesitant to shoot at wider apertures. All of my lenses are at least F/2.8, but I pretty much only ever shoot at F/4 or below unless I'm doing sports or action shooting (when I'm just going shutter priority anyway). Even in low light I worry about not getting all my subject in focus or having a non-sharp image (plus the thought process of I can just get a blur in post), and I end up with blurry shots cause of lack of light.

How do I know when it's right to shoot wide open? What kind of shots should I actually use it for (cause most of the advice online seems to tell people to shoot with a lower aperture).

I bought a Yashica Mat 124 that doesn't have a working light meter, so I'm trying to find a workable light meter solution for day to day shooting. I tried installing some apps for my Android phone (first Lightme and then the WBPhoto light meter app). I've tested them out but and they worked fine, but I compared them to my Nikon D850 digital camera at the same settings and noticed that its meter was underexposing the shot quite a bit compared to my phone apps, which both gave pretty similar readings. I did some tests with my D850's spot metering mode at F5.6 and ISO3200 and on the object I got 1/200 second, but on my phone it was closer to 1/50 second. I brought out my Nikon F5 and checked if it gave me the same reading, and I got more like 1/150 of a second.

I've double checked all my settings, tried both matrix metering and spot metering, and tried different subjects and I keep finding that the phone apps overexpose my images by at least a stop compared to my cameras' meters, and oftentimes more. I get that with film overexposure is fine, but I do want metering that's at least reliably accurate and consistent (especially for when I shoot slide film). I suppose I could just carry a second camera with me just for metering, but that feels like a weird solution to me. I'd rather not drop $200+ on a professional light meter that I would only use for this camera. Are there any other solutions y'all would have, and have y'all run into this issue too?

My argument is that a more authoritarian "mean" style of group management and teaching as opposed to the more modern collaborative style (where the leader acts more as an equal to the rest of the group, takes in their input, and never gets mean or authoritative with the group) is more effective, at least for me. I tend to do my best work when I'm on edge and have a fear of disappointing someone I respect. When a manager or teacher is more lenient and acts more like my friend than my boss I tend to feel more comfortable and don't push myself as hard. What some people might consider abuse (telling me bluntly how badly I'm doing, critiquing every element of my work, yelling at me) tends to help push me harder because I know I can do better and because of the fear of embarrassment at half assing something.

I should clarify I don't condone actual workplace abuse, which in my opinion is more about putting subordinates down rather than making them do their best work. But if my boss/teacher actually wants me to succeed (which I always will assume until proven otherwise), then I actually prefer the old school blunt management style, and dislike how few younger managers seem to use it.

I mean yeah companies can be racist irl but with the way the government works in Stellaris there should really be a bias towards xenophilic ethics considering how important trade and getting commercial pacts is for them.

Hey y'all

I over advanced my film after I finished the roll and broke my film advance lever. I was able to get the film out but my film advance is loose and I am unable to reset my shutter curtain.

I know a repair guy who can probably fix this but I want to know what I can do to fix it myself if possible. Anyone experienced with fixing these cameras (or X-700s, X-300s, etc) ?
