You likely noticed no Loadout Tuesday or Friday drop mentions this week. I’m out of the office and the boys took over.

This week has been all about the Allegiance. A yo-yo that combines all of my favorite things about the Herdsman and Mongoose series.

@dragonfruitea  
Most modern cell phones and even some new digital cameras default with ai up scaling on and it’s not some quick and easy feature to toggle Either. heck if you upload a picture to a meta platform Facebook/instagram there’s default AI upscaling and optimizing.

AI is being shoved into everything. This may not even be AI augmented and heck it would be funnier if your so used to upscaled images this looks off to you.

All to say I see nothing wrong with the picture. Looks like neat yo-yos to me

This is how I wanted it to look.

This is a mirrorless camera shot at 2.8 aperture.

I have the lighting coming from above and to the right.

No ai used outside of what’s built into Lightroom, I adjusted the exposure and shadows

This is the type of photography that AI tries to copy! Jake is simply good at what he does.
