Your points are accurate, however, "We" have not lost our minds. It's only a group of people that h**e this country and want to pack it with illiterate people to serve their agenda of totally controlling everyone and everything. The fact that you inserted "We" into your question is worrisome because it indicates they have already infiltrated your thinking process. You're unconsciously already sharing the blame.

You're not alone many people have fallen for this. In fact I guarantee you there will be posts arguing this.
This was a real treat to see these two in my back yard.
I went through this a few years ago. After calibrating my monitor I did a test by viewing some of my pix on various other screens. I was a bit disappointed then it occurred to me that if you calibrate your display to spec and your liking you really have no idea what your pix will look like on other people's screens and this is true whether you calibrate or not!
I haven't used Zoom But I've made videos that incorporated said technique and I used a green curtain and it worked fine. And yes you can use various colors but you do want to stick with a color that you are likely NOT to be wearing for obvious reasons which is why they went to green from blue. Hope this helped.
Grumpy looking little guy.
Even if its true doesn't mean people are going to be happy about it or cooperative. I as a practice rarely photograph people...too troublesome.
Unless your printer is designed specifically to do photo prints your prints will continue to come out like crap.
Mine is an interaction with nature at a deep level. I shoot local wildlife everything from insects to eagles.
From time to time I also shoot natural formations and landscapes sky and water. When I walk through the woods or outdoors I take in a lot of what is around me because I am constantly scanning for opportunity vs a casual walk through where not much attention is paid to the surroundings.
Sounds like politically correct save the planet by showing nature contrasted by images pointing out the horrible things we've done to the planet bullshit disguised as Highbrow Intellectualism!
Try layering in Photoshop.
after all it is the apocalypse ......according to some!
