Regarding Creative Cloud subscription...

What happens if your internet service goes down? I was working on some photos the other night and our cable/internet service was interrupted for some unknown reason. I kept on processing. What would happen if I were a "cloud" subscriber?

pttl

Nevermind...didn't realize the programs were downloaded to your own computer from the cloud.

friend is shopping for camera at Best Buy "whats the difference between 6D and 5D iii? also 5Dii and 5Diii?"

Best Buy guy: "just performance man...pure performance"

"what do you mean"

"i mean 6D has 20 MP and 5D iii has 22 MP"

"does that make a $2000 difference?" (at this point i was just amusing my self)

so this guy picks up the 6D and goes listen to this...shoots a pic and then pics up and 5D iii and does the same. and goes...thats what a good performing camera sounds like LMAO

I'm offline a lot with my laptop when using LR+PS. Every once in a while PS will gently remind you that it can't reach the internet and you'll need to go online in the next 60 days. It's really not a problem.

Sigh... these people send me a message asking to use one of my pics on their magazine with this as part of the email:
And of course they want to pay by simply giving me credit. So... You tell me you're catering to rich people and you're cheap?

I don't know how to respond so I haven't. I may say flat rate of $200/image for print resolution and see what they say.

srika

that seems like a fair price to ask. I agree it is sad when some purportedly "rich" institution can't pay for photos.

Mizouse

How do you guys come up with the price to charge someone?

Just curious since I have no exp with it

srika

It's tough. Just go by what sounds "reasonable". But it's always gonna be tough. There's no exact number for anything. Several months ago I almost sold a digital file for 3k, but I was being a little too greedy and it didn't go through. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I sold that same digital file to someone else, for 1k.

You have to do some research on the company or network (or individual) you are doing business with, find out how big they are, what their scope and market is, things like that. Those factors will help you arrive at a competitive number that is both reasonable and fair. Another thing you can do is inquire about their budget, in your preliminary dealings.

Mizouse

Damn 1k

Cool, but someone commented there are 17 required book. I bet they cost a lot.

That sucks. although she was wrong, at least she's owned up to it and trying to make amends to everybody affected.

srika

It seems like she apologized because she didn't have any other choice though - i.e. it seemed forced. I mean she was pushed against a wall - there was no question of owning up to anything, she had no other choice, if she wanted to continue. Disappointing for someone of her caliber. However she is still doing well.

yeah, i don't think her business will take a hit.

all I know is... the other wedding photog that got in trouble for the same thing -Doug Gordon.... I went to one of his workshops that was from some kind of groupon purchase and I think the guy is phoney as hell. I can't believe Nikon actually had him on their list of "Nikon Ambassadors" but recently took him off (thank God ). It was suppose to be a 4 hour workshop and I swear, the last 2 hours were pretty much him promoting himself

pttl

Do any of you guys know how to "disable downloads" on flickr?

is300eater

So that people can't download your pictures?

is300eater

If that's what you're asking then you go to Your Account, then Privacy & Permissions, the first one at the top is "Who can access your files?" click on edit and choose "Only You"

pttl

Yes that's what I was asking. Thank you. I thought that meant only I could see it.

einsatz

Though it's still quite easy to still download them (even full/original size), so keep that in mind. Flickr security is a joke.

srika

this is hilarious - check out the comments too

By and large this is a good video to watch, especially if your knowledge of celluloid formats is lacking.

And overall what he is saying is true and is a great way to shut up internet "masters" running around bashing smaller format sensors.

BUT its also an over simplification. He did mention the shift in "bokeh" isn't that big of a different between aps-c and ff....and I disagree. If you are shooting with a deep stop or strobes, he is probably correct...but when you are shooting natural light with wide open apertures there is a big difference in DoF.

The other, and bigger issue, he fails to mention is focal enhancement and lens choices. With DSLR...the better choices of glass come in the FF variety and some people, myself included, don't want focal enhancement. The biggest reason I went full frame was so my wide lenses....are wide lenses. Good quality wide lenses (with fast apertures) for crop sensor DSLRs are harder to find.

Never mind getting into the whole DSLR vs mirrorless, which is really where he was going with the Fuji vs the Nikon.

Mirrorless is here to stay, and the professional shift is very much headed there. There are some GREAT mirrorless cameras. And those companies are starting to make some good fast glass to accompany them.

So, again I agree with him overall. But there is still a case for shooting full frame. But his video was aimed more at the amateurs and keyboard warriors.

is300eater

another key point was about the person behind the gear is what matters at the end of the day...

Sarlacc

That is always a true statement, as is what is the best tool for the job.

Mizouse

is300eater

you guys want to see some awesome portrait work all done with Olympus?

(not to mention beautiful Russian women )

further proves that you don't "need" full frame or medium format to do professional work (or in this case, even APS-C)

Sarlacc

Have we ever had that argument here?

I don't use my GF1 anymore...but Ive always said that it is a pretty amazing camera for portraits (I think it excelled at it vs other types of shooting), and that is M4/3 which is way smaller than APS-C.

is300eater

no arguments here that I can recall, but it was more or less a continuation of what Zack Arias said

srika

great work there

and ooooh Russian women
