Shouldn't have rotated them halfway through the top line. It adds confusion.
That’s really well done. I don’t see any seams in the background.
I didn't even do any edge correction. I just selected a rectangle and flipped it. If you zoom in and you know where it is you can clearly see it. I guess that's a cool thing about textures like this.
Fun fact/pro-tip: if you're an on-location portrait photographer, or film on green screens, carry your backdrops in pillowcases. Don't fold them, just crumple and shove. The organic wrinkles are far easier to work around and hide than trying to get rid of geometric patterns and their shadows.
You could also iron or steam the backdrop every time you use it, but that's a fucking slog.
I guess that's good advice, but why not just roll them up.
Rolling them up makes them cumbersome, and there's not enough material to make a substantial roll, so you'd have to wrap it around a dowel of some sort. If you're trying to save space, you'd have to fold it, then roll it, which would crease the fabric. Rolling it would likely introduce wrinkles, and the folded portions would definitely crease, so now you'd have geometric lines.
Unless you can hang the backdrop on-location for a while after smoothing it, or you have a portable steamer, crumpling really is the quickest, simplest, and most effective solution.
Seriously!
I was like "that's one heck of a change, what happened in that step??"
They obviously did it because of our general preconception that "flowers point up" and "berries hang down" - but it really bugs me that whoever made the chart decided they were going to cater to that.
That is what they do on the tree, though.
Yeah I came here to say the same thing. I had to stare at that for a few seconds before realizing what was going on.
These are some very cherry picked samples!!
Erst weiß wie Schnee
Dann grün wie Klee
Dann rot wie Blut
Schmeckt allen Kindern gut
First white as snow
then green as clover
then red as blood
tastes good to all children
Feels like they could have just replaced 'allen Kindern' with 'jeder' and the meter would have fit better
Fun fact: plums, peaches, and apricots used to be roughly this size as well, but generations of selective breeding increases the size of the fruit, and the ratio of fruit to seed/pit.
Almonds are also a member of this family, although we don't eat the fruit of the almond (which splits open as it grows), and instead pick out the pit for a little morsel inside. That's also why almond extract and cherry pit extract (sometimes known as bitter cherry) have similar flavor notes.
Why not selective breed cherries to be big too?
Not every crop/species/cultivar respond well to selective breeding for size.
I don't know the details of cherries in particular, but I know of another example of one stubborn crop not responding to attempts to increase the size: the skirret. Historical records indicate that carrots, parsnips, and skirrets were similar root vegetables that were grown for food, but breeders had much more success making carrots and parsnips bigger, with less success with the skirret. As a result, carrots and parsnips became more popular, and the skirret faded into obscurity in most cultures.
...some plum cultivars you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish from jumbo cherries...
What do you mean "TIL"? This is how most fruits grow, how did you not know that?
I'm not a fruitologist
Here is a positive rephrasing of your comment :
I'm glad you found it out! And since most of the fruit grows like that, you really learned something useful.
first of all, i enjoy the post because it explains something well. it's difficult enough to randomly learn new interesting stuff as an adult, don't make it more difficult for others.
secondly, you'd be surprised how many people don't know basic stuff like that. if you've grown up in a sheltered environment, there's lots of experiences that you couldn't make.
Why is it fliped in the middle of the first line ?
The fruit also flips due to the increasing weight
TIL (^_^)
I found out I became allergic to cherries some weeks ago. :(
I'm very much sorry for you.
So that’s why cherries have the stem.
I like how the cherry grows once more right before dying... ;-)
Not trying to take any magic from you, but this isn't the life cycle of a cherry.
They are my all-time favorite!
Should end as a bottle of cheap wine.
Wine is made from grapes...
My father used to make a very excellent Cherry Liqueur from the tree in his yard.
can confirm that cherry wine was the best wine i've ever tasted.
Depends on Your definition of wine. In my country anything made from fermented fruit is called wine. My friend once made wine out of carrots.
nah actually basically all food is fermentable. (whether the output tastes good, is another story)
all starch ferments into alcohol, basically. at least all sugars. that's why you can make wine out of everything that contains sugar. which is basically all fruit. on top of that, it doesn't even have to be sugar. it can also be starch, in which case we call it beer, i think.
