Litiquette VI

I do believe this constitutes an attempt to bribe the OP!

Wait! So double punishment then?!

Hahahahaha!

You are a brave, brave woman. (Who likes her punishment. )

I’ll pop in for the question of the day.

Pictures.
Selfies and documenting your time, travels and candid moments as you trek through life. What do you take pics of and how often do you share them?
Are you the kind of person that edits every image before its shared or the quick and raw speaks greater truths of that moment?
And then, how much editing it too much? How important is it to you that the image photographed matches the digital replica?

I'm always impressed by people who can take nice pics of themselves. I can't take a good pic of myself to save my life. Girls just take better pics of themselves anyway. Like, you all know the proper angles and stuff. Although, indefy you to take a bad pic of a boob. Go on, SMN, just try. Post it here to love me wrong.

I don't take loads of pics. I take a few. But I like to be present in the moment. I hardly ever go back and look at pics I took. But I also don't have a huge social media presence either. I don't edit anything. I mean, my avatar has no filter. Can you believe that? That's au naturale.

I rarely take pictures when I’m out doing adventures. The only reason I do now is because of family. Because I rarely go back and look at pictures. Maybe I will when I’m old and feeble.

Editing - not on social media, so the photos are just for us. I’ll often try to crop to get a better composition from a wider angle shot. I’m still learning a lot about composition and how to frame a pic better.

What I’m learning is that a dick is a dick no matter how you dress it up.

I find they look best with a sepia tint.

 

[Endless_Night]

Not a picture taker. For one thing I dislike the idea of my pics floating around forever on the inter webs. Ick. For another, I have the type of fair skin that is extra reflective. Without makeup I’m like one of those *ghost* among the living pictures. And while it may surprise a few, I rarely wear makeup.

No edits. I am not that pic savvy.

Wait. The last pic I posted to Lit was flipped to a darker filter. The white background made my skin extra washed out. (Need I confess I had help to flip?)

On edits. Gotta say, I am a little surprised at the lengths people go. Occasionally I’ll see a pic post where there’s clearly been some serious photoshopping at work!

All I can say is…lighter hand people!!!

Truer words were never spoken.

Bland?!? Fuck that It's a classy filter, dammit. That's why the colour scheme is a bit darker. I've returned, a little wiser. A little less bright (my avatar, not my wit). >

*cough*

So it looks like it is in one of those old timey saloon photos?

There is one, tits pressed up against the glass shower door that was mediocre. I’ll need to unlock and browse through the vault.

I really feel there should be a mustache. Or beard wax used to sculpt the pubs into
a lasso. Something!

The head is perfectly shaped for a bandana print. That would give it a nice Bank Robber look.

I never take selfies (unless they're for Lit ) I tend to not want to document my time as much as I want to be in the moment, enjoy it and remember it however I can or choose to.

As far as editing pics, I kind of can't help myself. I know that the pic can look better if I screw with the levels a little and I can't live with the washed out look my camera gives, so yes, I do alter for the most part. BUT, I wouldn't alter the "purpose" of the picture. I will digitally remove a blemish or something if it makes the picture better though.

For me, tweaking in Photoshop is part of the enjoyment of photography.

I know. Fuck that. People have discussions and enjoying themselves. On a forum. I tried to keep them in line, Papa C. But no one would listen. They were just about enjoying themselves like a bunch of idiots. I tried. But they're unruly.

< I often wonder how people feel when they post in Ampics about those responses, and have been curious how I would cope there.

*ears perk*

Possible Rainshine pic thread?!

< If you were a psychologist you’d probably say there’s so many because there were so few of my first child that died and I’m scared shitless of being left without memories like that again one day. >

Since the main man is out, I’ll step in for a moment.

I see a lot of talk about real friends always make time for each other. Or the hurt feelings that come when someone feels ignored or lack of effort made by another.

- Actions speak louder than words.

- Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

These sorta quotes, how well do they really apply in the land of Lit? How does one rationalize they should be a priority to someone that is here possibly in secret, attached/married and juggling RL and time here? Are are okay saying you feel like you’re owed more time and effort?

 

[Endless_Night]

Huh. Interesting take, SMN. I view those posts in an entirely different way, person-specific rather than Lit-based. As in they labor under a cycle where they attach to people who don’t attach back equally. Or maybe they’re extra needy and no one can fill the hole. Or perhaps they’re suffering through a period of low self-esteem and feel extra insecure.

None of that is meant to be insulting, btw. There’s no doubt a plethora of reasons. Just what comes to mind when I see repetitive posts on the subject.

As to the question, I don’t view Lit and *real life* as separate entities. Real time I expect to be a priority. Same for Lit. *shrug*

There are a few exceptions, I suppose. A couple of relatives (‘cause, relatives), a long-time friend (my *ride or die* girl). Anything else non-priority I maintain falls under the heading of acquaintances.

I…hmmm…I was going to say I don’t deal much with people who are here in secret, but that’s not true. Looking back I’d say that accounts for half those I’ve come to know well. The fact that I’m not here secretly possibly affects my view?

 

[Lord Pmann]

No one posts here anymore. Shameful.

I’ll ask a question... we all have perceptions of who we are. People see us as this type of person or that type of person. Sometimes those perceptions are incongruent with who we are.

What is it about you that people may find surprising after they get to know you?

For me, the most common thing I hear is “you’re not such an asshole”.

I posted about this same topic yesterday, saying that sometimes people see me one way and assume that I see myself in as positive a way, but in reality it comes as a surprise and such an unexpected compliment. But when I made that post, I’m pretty sure some eye rolls were directed at me. It bothered me because I know of a lot of people who have a hard time believing it when someone says that they are sexy and beautiful, and I’m not sure why when I said the same thing, I got a snarky response.

So maybe I’m seen as disingenuous? That would be a misconception.

Sometimes people can be assholes. Like, if you have a nice looking avatar, like mine, people automatically assume you think you’re the cat’s ass. Well, I am the cat’s ass, but it has zero to do with this comely avatar of mine.

You’ve always seemed quite nice, despite being a fan of the Nationals.

I think when people are snarky and eye-rolly it says more about them than you.
As long as you are being honest then who cares how they think. You will attract good people and the Snarkies will sit in a corner and roll their eyes.
They can all suck it.

What I hear a lot from people is how surprised they are at how aggressive I can be.
I am a nice guy in the classic sense and never looking for a fight, but if one shows up I will win
