Flickr is a bad storage site if you shoot raw, as flickr only stores jpegs. For displaying it's fine. Not the best portfolio site because the presentation kind of sucks, but it's good enough.

I also learned about this just now. Considering they're the premiere provider of enterprise cloud storage in the first place, it's a great way to keep you tied to your prime account forever.

Recently though I upgraded to a R5 that produces CR3 RAW files which for whatever reason Amazon have not added to the list of types they exclude from your quota which is really annoying (there are lots of complaint threads on Amazon support forums) so I now have to losslessly embed then into DNG files using the Adobe DNG processing app for backup.

I have children and will be tied to prime until they grow up. Savings on christmas shipping and not having to go into stores as much is well worth the prime money, I really should set this up. I also make enough money the rest of the year on stuff I dont need right now to buy a few e-books from amazon with the $1 they throw me to hold off on instant shipping.

Anyone have any experience getting a TLR CLA'd? What's generally been the turnaround time? I brought an old Yashica TLR to a relatively new, but well reviewed local repair place back in April of 2021 for a CLA. They said it would be 4-6 weeks. That time went and then some, I called after 2 months and they said "it looks like it's in the next round, you should hear from us soon!". 2 more months and I called again and got more or less the same response. Called a few weeks ago and they said basically the same thing. If their Instagram is anything to go by a ton of cameras move through their shop, so either they're actually incredibly backed up, they keep forgetting about mine, or they lost it? It's not a particularly nice camera or anything i'm sentimental about, but i'm starting to think that I probably won't get it back. It's also fine if it is going to take a year, but I wish they would just tell me that. frogbs fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Dec 29, 2021 |

I would ask for the camera back and look for someone else to service it. I had a similar issue for buying some filters from breakthrough photography, months after my order kept on adding up and whenever I asked they made excuses about pandemic delays, we're working on it, we'll send an update when they're ready. And yet their instagram account was constantly updating with new product announcements and pro photographers bragging about how awesome the filters are. I said gently caress it and asked for my money back. My assumption is that the "pro photography" market is real small, the companies making products for it are small and have single digit employee counts, and covid related issues have completely hosed their ability to get work done.

gently caress! At that point I would assume that they either lost your camera, or that they are renting it out for some extra income, or that they used it as a donor to repair other cameras. I too would ask for it back. At this point they would have lost all credibility/trust in my book.

I have a Sony A7iii with these two speedlights: Yongnuo YN560 IV, Canon 600EX-RT I want to have them trigger wirelessly. Is that possible? If so what kind off wireless trigger would I need? Not my first time working with wireless triggers but it is my first time working with two differently branded speedlights AND a different brand camera altogether. melon cat fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jan 10, 2022 |

Haha I am helping out another guy and this is his existing speedlight setup. It is a mess. Yongnuo YN560 IV is "officially" compatible with Canon and Nikon cameras. It fires when put inside my A7iii hot shoe but only in manual mode. Don't need ETTL. I'd like to use radio triggering. I'm a big fan of Godox (it's what I use personally at home) so I might just go ahead and suggest that. melon cat fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Jan 10, 2024 |

I use optical sync even though I have radio triggers. It comes down to being much faster to set up. I use the NEEWER TT560s for slave lights and my 600EX II-RT chilling in the hotshoe.

melon cat posted:I have a Sony A7iii with these two speedlights: Yongnuo YN560 IV, Canon 600EX-RT If all you want to do is trigger the flashes from off-camera, and you don't need TTL, HSS, or manual power control, you could buy two Yongnuo RF-603 transceivers. Put one on your A7III and set the switch on the side to TX. Your YN560 IV has a built-in RF-603 receiver, so you can trigger it without needing to attach anything else to it. Attach the 600EX to the other transceiver, set the transceiver to TRX, and set the 600EX to manual mode. That *should* work. If it were me, though, I'd sell those lights and buy two V860II S flashes and an XProS transmitter.

Anyone have any experience with canvas prints (on hollow frames) for sound absorbing panels? We need to do something with the acoustics in our house, we live in a brand new house so all the walls are perfectly straight and at 90 degrees, great for not having to do maintainance but terrible for acoustics. I plan on putting up some acoustics panels but would rather they also have a decorative function at the same time. Im thinking of buying canvas prints and filling the empty cavity behind with sound foam? Or is the canvas itself too stiff to let the foam absorb much?

We have a couple of ~48x72" stretched canvas on wood frames in our house, at that size the canvas is tesioned so little it's almost zero I don't think they provide any noise cancellation of any kind, and I'm super sensitive to noise etc Do you already have furniture in the house? Empty houses echo a lot before the furniture moves in Looks like DIY rockwool panels could be built and then stretch printed canvas over the panel? The "empty" panel I think does nothing though. Good luck Hadlock fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Jan 14, 2022 |

You can get studio grade poo poo or you can notice that melamine foam is also the base of those magic eraser scrubbing sponges, and that you can find them in bulk off brand. I did this with a theater I built. Put a movie poster on a frame and backed it with melamine foam. It should be noted that the most effective place to put sound insulation are in corners if you cant cover entire walls, and that in a long straight hallway, either end that terminates will also help. It should also be noted that carpeting and furniture are the solutions to echoey spaces.

So I was going through some boxes yesterday and remembered I have two broken Yashica Electro 35 GSN rangefinders. I was looking at them and thought, 'hey, these lenses are pretty great but the electronics are toast, I wonder if I could adapt them to my Fuij XT-10?' Not only is it possible, people have done it, and someone even sold adapters that made it easy! In both these threads, folks mention buying adapters from some place in China, but every link i've found is dead, and I haven't been able to find anything similar sold by anyone else. The ebay store used to be under user 'baocheng_sd', and I also found a Facebook store called 'Film Fascination' that sold adapters from LianZhong, but links to their website don't work: https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/2257856330976988/ Has anyone seen adapters like this sold anywhere else?  Edit: I just found this company selling adapters for lenses from the Canon QL17 Giii to Sony E Mount: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000711254205.html. Hoping I can find one from them for the Yashica too. frogbs fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Jan 24, 2022 |

Take the time to order proofs. It's super helpful for getting the colors right. Most services will color balance for you but it's better to figure it out yourself. You can do it less as you get experience, you'll learn the technique.

Those in the business, how do you deliver your photos to clients? I currently use google drive links but I guess you need a google account to access those folders? Whoops. Looking for something similar without the prerequisites to use.

Google drive lets you create sharable read only links, if you enter a folder there will be a little person icon next to the folder path. Click that to get the link and manage permissions. edit - and I just tested in a browser with no login and it seemed to work fine.

So I pulled my camera out this morning to take some photos of my sister's new puppy, and all of a sudden all the images are completely buggered, both on the camera screen and the PC, jpg & raw:    Restarting it does nothing, updating the firmware does nothing, sometimes it takes ok shots, but mostly like the above. Same with different lenses. Has anyone seen this before? Is the sensor shot, or maybe some other internal stuff? I can't seem to find anything similar googling... (Olympus E-M10ii)

Wild EEPROM posted:Memory card? Second slot? Does it show like that on the screen? How about if you shoot tethered I only have the 1 memory card, and the camera only has the 1 slot. It shows like that on the screen, too. Not sure what shooting tethered means, or how to do it. The screen also now shows static over the image when I first turn it on, which sometimes changes to the normal view a second or two later, or when I half-press the shutter. After that, the screen and the viewfinder seem to display normally. Menus and all other functions work normally, it just seems to be something to do with translating or recording the image it sees.

Obviously a St Patrick's day feature. Is your clock on the camera accurate?  I think when stuff like that starts happening it's a hardware failure and is a repair or toss situation.

You should have more than one memory card, but if the digital screen is also a bit hosed it's probably a hardware issue. I'd price new and used cameras that do what you want and then take it to a repair place and see if it's either cheaper to repair what you have, or if you're flush, time to buy a nicer camera. If you get a new camera, buy a second memory card of whatever format, if you fix your camera buy a second memory card.
