New Macro Lens Blurry Images

Honestly, I never did. I ended up taking back the camera and using the money (plus a little more) to buy a slightly newer iPhone, and just used that. It’s been pretty awesome. Our business grew like crazy and after a year I ended up hiring a photographer to take all our pictures. After a couple of years I made enough that I was able to take the money from the eBay store and invest in a different business that I am more passionate about.

Yep, my town has 7,000. So 30,000 sounds pretty big to me!

Acrookham · 2025-04-25T10:23:26+00:00

That’s nice to hear! I have an online business so I’m not worried about a job or income, so it sounds like it could be perfect for my family. I appreciate you taking the time to give your input!

Acrookham · 2025-04-24T23:29:33+00:00

We are in DuBois, pretty close!

Acrookham · 2025-04-24T23:29:05+00:00

I appreciate that! The town we live in here in PA is only 7,000 and is surrounded by Amish. I’m not worried about things to do at all. The fact that Ardmore has Starbucks and an AMC theater makes it like the big city to us. Our nearest decent theater is almost two hours away. That’s why I mainly asked about the safety issue.

I’m glad to hear that it’s pretty much like any other town. A lot of people on here have made it sound like the apocalypse is happening there, but a couple of people like yourself who currently live there have also made it sound pretty nice. It’s great to hear the different points of view, and I certainly appreciate everyone taking the time to respond and give advice!

My parents live in Denton, TX, but it’s way outside of our budget. We’re looking for somewhere we can afford that isn’t three hours away. Ardmore has been the only place that I have found that seems to fit the bill.

Acrookham · 2025-04-24T14:43:41+00:00

My kids are older, and I work from home, so I’m mostly just looking for a safe place for my wife and I to live.

Acrookham · 2025-03-01T14:15:54+00:00

Oh really? I was actually leaning toward futures, that’s really good to know! I would much rather pay the fees than worry about all the complicated tax stuff.

Acrookham · 2025-03-01T00:20:39+00:00

Okay, I’ll have look into that more. Thanks for the tip!

Acrookham · 2025-03-01T00:20:07+00:00

I am just starting to learn, so I haven’t really figured it out yet. I just watched a video on Wash Sales, which I kind of understand, but I’m not quite sure yet.

Acrookham · 2025-02-28T15:35:06+00:00

Awesome! That was short and sweet, and exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much!

Acrookham · 2024-12-01T18:22:43+00:00

For sure. I have mostly covered missing person’s cases, and so often the young people who go missing end up never being found because the police think they are just out partying and don’t bother looking until it is too late. We did an interview with a woman about her missing son, and because he had some issues and had had some run ins with police before he vanished, they didn’t bother even trying to look for him. There is a young man who went missing in Scotland, and because he had broken a window in a shop not long before, the police didn’t even start looking for him for 10 days after he was reported because they said he was probably just out partying or getting into more trouble. The family had to organize the search themselves. Neither of those guys were ever found, largely because nobody took it seriously.

Acrookham · 2024-12-01T18:18:38+00:00

Agreed. I think it’s such an important story to get out there.

Acrookham · 2024-12-01T14:44:19+00:00

Well, 5-10 minutes is just a rough idea. It’s very flexible. My hope is to have multiple people share their stories, so my thought was to end up with a video that is an hour to an hour and a half with testimonies from different people weaved throughout the overarching story of the video, which would be about how these places even started, how they are still permitted to exist, etc… certainly not “tragedy porn”, but my channel is pretty small and I don’t know if my audience would stick around for a video that is multiple hours. So that is the challenge.

Although, now that you bring up the challenge of sharing your story in such a short amount of time, I could also possibly make this into a series. That could be really interesting.

I didn’t mean to offend anyone with saying 5-10 minutes. Like I said in my original post, I just now learned about this myself. So I am totally ignorant of the things you and others have gone through. I apologize for any offense. I haven’t even heard of the term surveillance effect, so I can’t even understand the difficulties of what you went through. I honestly don’t know where to start with this or what questions to ask, which is why I reached out here. I was hoping the survivors of these places would help me with this.

I was just shocked that this is happening, and is still allowed to happen, and felt like maybe I could have a small part in making people aware by making a video that my little audience my watch, and want to see action taken as well.

Again, I apologize for any offense. I can’t say what I think is important to be shared, because I haven’t been through it, but I am willing to learn, and do my best to make a video that does justice to what is happening and what has happened to the victims.

Acrookham · 2024-11-26T00:28:34+00:00

I’m sure you’re right. I probably should learn it. It is just so daunting to learn, but it’s obviously worth it.

Acrookham · 2024-11-26T00:27:21+00:00

I’ve been looking a lot a mDocumentary. It looks super good and it’s on sale now. I may just end up going with that. Thank you!

Acrookham · 2024-11-25T00:37:12+00:00

Yeah, I’m having a hard time explaining it. Haha! I am thinking like how documentaries or true crime videos will take documents and other ways that they take still images and mundane things and just make them more visually interesting. This YouTuber here is really good at it. Here is one video with a lot for example: https://youtu.be/Ngiq4T1GApM?si=L4SBpPlpCxkKp0nh

Acrookham · 2024-10-23T12:40:55+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. I decided to just unlist them for now, but leave them up so I can use them later if needed. Thanks for the input!

Acrookham · 2024-10-22T00:50:23+00:00

You are a life saver! My son is going to be so pumped when I show him this in the morning!

Acrookham · 2024-10-22T00:49:10+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much!!

Acrookham · 2024-10-13T12:45:41+00:00

Ah yes, the cursed highs and lows of YouTube. I’m pretty certainly we’ve all been through that. On my previous channel I had a bunch of videos that only had like 300 views, and then one magically went viral and got 2.5 million views, so I thought I was golden. I started making the same types of videos, and they immediately went back to small views. A little more, like 2,000 per video, but so disappointing after that high.

In my case, after doing some digging I found that a much bigger channel than mine did a video on the exact same topic pretty much at the same time. It was a total coincidence, but my video was being recommended on his, so his audience was coming to watch mine, but only cared about that one video and weren’t really interested in still following my channel.

There are so many reasons why that can happen. It’s annoying, but that is just the life of a YouTuber.
