What a beautiful shot Can I have your permission to use this picture as watercolor practice? If it turns out I'll post it and tag you. I do not sell my art so no worries there.

Reply to Camping with reactive dog by cheynsf

There’s nothing more annoying than a barking dog when you’re out camping and trying to enjoy the peace and quiet…. I commend you for trying to find places to minimize this issue, I wish more people would be so considerate.

A safe way you can edit a little bit more is to use the eye dropper in the white balance section and click it on something that you know is white (but not blown out) or a neutral grey (white is probably safer). You can also try setting the white balance from As Shot to Auto, but it can struggle a bit with challenging lighting conditions.

Reply to Camping this weekend by bchamp227

Bring some kindling and paper and/or a small axe. A lot of times those bundles you get at campgrounds are spilt logs and don’t have enough kindling to start the 1/4 rounds in rain. I camp with a 20x30 tarp and rope so I can tie it at a slope to trees and make a “rain shade” over the table and/tent. The slope is key to let the water run off and not collect. I’ve been camping in pouring rain this way happily playing cards with my friends.

Reply to Foreign degree for job search by brapman22

Electricians have no problem finding work in this state. You can always start by getting on with a major corporation such as pse (pudget sound energy) and go from there. If you reside in tacoma or seattle or bellevue you have a vast job market open to you.

Just be aware tacoma isn't like the safest city to live in. My cousins moved to tacoma for a couple years and had so many crimes and issues that they decided it wasn't worth it any more and put their house on the market. They both remotely work so they can reside any where.

Seattle has it's issues to but isn't as bad. The homeless population is out of control just fyi. Mostly due to the fact housing market and apartment rent is so high no one can afford even the cheapest things.

I'd highly recommend belllevue even though it is a major city and traffic isn't all that great. I watched it grow from a sleepy little suburban area to a major metropolis hub. We only moved because of traffic and housing prices sort of forced us to buy south in renton/kent area.

Issauqh is a nice little rich folk town. You have two income classes in that town rich or poor very little middle class. Due to the housing marking installing 1 mill/bill dollar homes. Apartment rents are also ridiculously high. Rent averages for most around $1,500 mo up to $3k monthly. Easily. That's not including your other monthly expenses and bills. Most live in issaquah and commute to bellevue or seattle.

If you can average about $38-70k annually you will do well in what ever city you reside in. Traffic in king county isn't all that great during rush hour. Please do not live 2+ hrs away. You'll regret it really quickly unless you have opposite commute shift.
