Is there anything obviously wrong with Amazon Drive's free photo storage that comes with Prime? I've just been blindly uploading my raw files there so that when I never actually look at them again I know they're there. Then I import into Lightroom as DNG and feel free to delete liberally.

Sri.Theo posted:I guess metric is the wrong term then, but wouldn't it be possible to express f/n as a diameter in millimetres? And fractions of a second in decimals? Would it really take up that much room on a dial? The f in the numerator is the focal length of the lens (n=f/d). So, yes, you could have users input the diameter of the opening in millimeters, but then you're doing the calculation in your head for what lens you have, when all you really want to know is the ratio between the focal length and diameter of the opening. I suppose you could express shutter speed in decimal instead of fractions, but I also don't see a particularly compelling reason to try. tk fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Nov 30, 2016 |

The battery bulge in the back is somewhat similar to a Lumia 1020 camera grip / battery case, but agreed that it looks more like a (mini)cassette recorder than anything. Three buttons on the side and you can see the outline where cassette door would be.

I love the cloud sync stuff in Lightroom. It's great to do some quick review and basic cropping on my iPad from the comfort of my couch. Then I head back to my desktop for real developing. I also sync to my phone and look at the pictures that I want to post to Facebook/Instagram for final review because I figure that's how most people are going to see them anyways. I really don't think I understand what the purpose of the desktop Lightroom CC client is though. The cloud sync stuff in Lightroom Classic works perfectly fine.

xzzy posted:New Cloud is everything stored in the cloud, all the time. Even your RAW files. You need the new apps to access that stuff I believe. Sure, I get what it does. I just don’t understand why they chose to do it via a separate piece of software instead of something like an import to cloud or cloud catalog feature in the existing Lightroom. I feel like I’m almost the target audience for this kind of thing (already use cloud sync frequently, no bandwidth constraints while at home). But I don’t want to give up my full featured editing when on desktop (no tone curves is bizarre, especially considering the iOS version already has that), and I’m not paying an extra $10/month to get a reasonable amount of storage while maintaining access to a Classic. I suppose it’s possible that they feel like they need to move away from a legacy code base and plan to bring CC up to speed feature wise. I don’t trust Adobe to do that before they deprecate Classic though. I also don’t trust them to completely manage/store my files (love the convenience of cloud sync, but I also want to maintain full offline/local access).

GrandpaPants posted:What is with people asking "Can you give me the raws I want to edit them myself"? I've had a couple of people ask me that and it's just incredibly off-putting. We got raws for our wedding pictures. Editing pictures is something we enjoy doing together as a hobby and being able to go through everything together was fantastic. The stuff the photographers edited was great and that’s what we posted online, but the raws are a goldmine of background expressions and reactions that would probably never make it to final edits. Most people aren’t going to care about the 10 different rapid fire shots of our first kiss that are mostly identical. For us, each one of those shots has somebody different in the background at just the right moment and every one is special to us. My wedding pictures are my memories, and I want all of them. Good, bad, and ugly. The photographers asked us not to tag them on any shots they didn’t edit. And they deleted any raws they deemed unacceptable. But there are still a enough great-moment-but-a-bit-out-of-focus shots in there, and when we look back at them in 15 years it’s not going to matter to us. Most photographers just politely declined when asked about raws, but a lot more than I thought were okay with providing them with various stipulations.

rio posted:As for editing I don’t know if I would go along with that either. I would have to know the person pretty well to know how they were going to edit it, again mainly to do with other potential clients seeing pictures I took in a way that I wouldn’t want them to see. If they took it and busted all the sliders right off the monitor and dutch angled every shot 45 degrees with the crop tool I wouldn’t want any part of that and I have to assume that is how many people would choose to edit my raws if I gave them the opportunity. We heard this a lot and I just can’t wrap my head around it. I totally understand not wanting your name to be associated with somebody else’s edits, but I can gently caress up a jpeg just as easily as I can gently caress up a raw.

404notfound posted:I think asking for raws implies that the client wants to gently caress with it though. They’re going to gently caress with it anyways. When you post to Facebook, Instagram, et al, there’s steps in the process that essentially encourage you to gently caress with the picture. In this example, my guess is they took a screenshot of your post, reposted it with the default square Instagram crop, and hit one of the filters. That’s just how people post to stuff. The crop blows. The filter sucks too, but it’s not going to impact people’s viewing of the picture nearly as much as the myriad of screen/lighting conditions that people look at Instagram on.

um excuse me posted:I really can't find a better thread to stick this question. The wedding thread is archived. I'm getting married at the end of fall. I've hired a photog for the big day but now the fiance wants a videographer as well. Shes showing me examples and either they're not good or my expectations are way too high. Well rated videographers with bad white balancing, poor panning, slowmo 29.97fps stuff, camera flashes, artificial lens flares. I'm getting tired of looking. The budget is between $1000-2000. Does videography pricing not scale the way photographers do? I know everything about videography is expensive but I have no basis for comparison. The only acceptable videography I've seen comes from a national outfit charging around $2500 for the wedding and a few hours of reception. How do I pick a videographer? There’s a big wedding thread in Ask/Tell that may be able to help out.

The two stage import process is annoying, but once you get stuff into Lightroom it’s pretty full featured.

My mom is always doing books and stuff with Shutterfly. I haven’t used it, but she’s never asked me for help so I assume it’s easy enough.

As long as you’re using Lightroom Classic it’s not the cloud/mobile version that you’re scared of. They keep updating classic but the new version gets most of the attention.

You can honestly get away with using a few freeware utilities. First get your hard drive ready and copy all your pictures there. Don’t worry about their organization, just throw them on there. Then use something like https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net to remove all the dupes. Finally something like https://www.advancedrenamer.com to rename + move all the remaining files into their final destination based on whatever metadata. (Grab metadata from EXIF tool: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/exiftool) Should leave you with a nicely organized set of photos that you can browse through and edit using whatever free editing software does what you need to do. I haven’t used any of these things and I imagine it will be some work to get everything done properly. tk fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Sep 20, 2020 |

Ethics_Gradient posted:This is pretty goony, but I've found it really useful to practice with the screenshot mode in a lot of modern video games - being able to have a moment frozen where I can try out different perspectives, height, focal length, etc gives me time to consider what works, what doesn't, etc in a low-stress environment. You can do this with Google earth (or maybe flight sim these days?) to semi plan out IRL photos. Anything with sufficient detail you can really play around with composition then fiddle with the time to figure out exactly when in the fall that perfect light is going to hit your clock tower.

Pushing it on other people to tell you that they care about something is being an rear end in a top hat. Most people don't like confrontation to begin with, and you're even more unapproachable when you've demonstrated that you're willing to flagrantly violate social norms. I have a hard time believing you can get the mileage you want out of being an rear end in a top hat if you're not going to own it.

Havana Affair posted:100% and the ui is horrendous. Can't find it now but on some photography blog there was an interview of the main developer and they basically said that there's 5 modules (tools) that can handle 99% of editing any photo but for some reason they have 50 and lot of them overlap. Why not hide the extra 45 modules behind some menu? No idea. Without any context here: you can do a whole lot of your editing with curves, but exposure/contrast/highlights/shadows/etc. are usually easier to deal with. Now you have 5 tools doing the work that 1 could do. Repeat that a few times and it seems reasonable that you could do most of the image editing with a small amount of code. But then you have to build the user interface to make it possible for people to use. And that’s something that’s real easy to fuckup.
