    misc Let there be light... metering

    I'm probably OVERTHINKING it, trying not to introduce noise. My lights only get so bright, and I wanted to stick to the native ISO of 640, so that left me no option but 3.2 aperture. I would have chosen 5, maybe I should have just uppoed the ISO and then applied denoise after.

    Aww crap i figured it out, this was total dumbassery on my part. I was filming a short film, switched to portrait mode afterward in a rush to take some headshots for her and send her home, didn't realize it overrode my color balance and shifted me back to AUTO, then colored in the light on her...

    First off let me say, I just opened that photo on my phone and it looks absolutely fine. When I view it on my computer monitor or TV, the specular highlights are harsher than a cheese grater. I don't have any software to edit RAW but I did shoot in raw+jpg edit: downloaded Evoto that opens raw...

    Look what happens when I shrink the picture down, it looks like absolute crap. Thats not a 'gender bias' https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m1u-vt1Qs7JL3kiLdDBGBfPHBfiFoudH/view?usp=drive_link

    No, the woman in that picture is over 50 years old, and I was already using a soft focus filter, tiffen digitial diffusion filter 1/2 strength, I believe it was around 3.2 aperture

    I filmed the script today. Aiming to release on the 31st. OMG That extra foot of height is KILLING ME - I'm taking it to a machinist and getting it circumsized.

    How to Get a Job at A rental House in LA

    Hi Malo, I'm glad to hear things have been working out for you I've never lived in LA or worked at one of those places, so I don't know how helpful I can be. The best lessons I've ever learned for influencing people is from the Dale Carnegie book 'how to win friends and influence people' It's...

    If they gave you mega-pixel images, why bother to pay them? You've already got what you wanted. If McDonalds gives me a burger, then says i have to pay them if I want the receipt, I'm just gonna walk out with my burger. Shit I don't trust people at all when money is involved. You're totally...

    I have no idea.. I'm not even sure what I should put in a model release. Kinda makes sense though, like if it were the 90s and I were taking a picture of cindy crawford.. I'd probably want to know where that image is gonna end up, and want a piece of the pie. You don't want to get tricked into...

    Searching facebook groups and browsing other photo websites: This guy worded it really well He says "all images" so it sounds like there aren't any bad ones, but we all know he's just burying the bad ones lol, great way to phrase it. This is much better than the worded i did. Here's another...

    Maybe nickle and diming is the way to go, IDK. It's a lot to absorb. If people are paying near $300 they're gonna want to know what they get out of it, I need to figure out what that is. One thing though -- this whole idea of providing lower res images... kinda outdated. AI upscaling is way...

    I have a dedicated photography home studio, thats why I picked the name. Sad that term makes people roll their eyes, and then think most of my pics are duds. It sounds like this website is giving you a really bad impression all around. Yikes. I'm not sure how else to phrase 'client gets all...
