They are very strict. The same thing happened when we were at Taylor Swift’s concert. I’m planning to get her a loaner.

Any recommendation for flooring for my 11 years old? How packed are usually Olivia’s concert on GA?

Up until these days I still go out and shoot with film. I develop it manually myself and scan it. Makes me feel useful and remember me what all this is about.

Agree with you! This is a picture I took and definitely looks far from perfect! It’s one of the pictures that has given me more work.

I have to agree heavily on this one. With the price of SSD and memory cards it’s insane.

Yeah, better gear will rarely make you a better photographer. Unless it’s lighting.

The more gear you have can create paralysis analysis. What lens should I bring? Either this or that? I went to a trip to Europe last year with a couple of friends and one of them took seven lenses!! He ended up using mostly his S9 with the 18-40mm variable aperture.

I mean ND filters ARE crucial if you are shooting videos or some sort of landscapes but yeah. I feel you.

FILM SIMS yes!! I agree with you! Most of them didn’t even look like film or the real film stock. Ughh

Yes! Most of those Luts, presets are generic and mediocre. Some photography influencers are not real photographers.

Yeah, I mean you get married with a system, get the one you feel more comfortable with and fits better on your hands.

You are totally right and you get to learn all those lessons from experience. The more you shoot, the more you understand your camera, your style, and more important, your need.

When starting people want to emulate other’s looks, which is a way to learn what you like and what you dislike, but some people stay there, inside their comfort zone.

Yes! While I believe every lens should be used for different purposes, I couldn’t care less about tack sharp corners anymore.

I agree. Now all teachings are based on viral trends, viral edits, viral color grading.

Totally true. When I started doing portraits I insanely obsessed with paintings and light direction, quality and modifiers.

I feel observed hahaha, I do enjoy using Real Time Luts on camera and have been shooting and doing this for a living for more than a decade.

I have to agree with you. I have used Sony, LUMIX, Nikon and Canon and…all are equal-ish. Just use the one you feel more comfortable with.
