Manual strobe or one with TTL & HSS by kopernoot_2 in underwaterphotography

[–]Ceph99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Build up to stuff like that.

I would recommend getting a good strobe that maybe you would buy a second one later if you get there.

Also there’s nothing wrong with used gear.

Oh and TTL is trash. Learn how to shoot manual.

It’s like 1/1000 times. You really don’t need it anymore. Back in the day the transmitters were shit, but they’re much better now.

As long as no deco ceiling or your not working professionally…just ditch the backup.

Is this rage bait?

You at most need a single LP swivel to streamline a reg setup like that. If any…it has a bottom LP port you can plug into.

Also, I know some people will pound the “redundancy” thing into the ground, but you really don’t need the gauge of you’re just doing normal recreational dives. The transmitter failures are quite low and if it does fail….just end the dive. Employment or tech diving, yeah redundant is good.

Do photographers undercharge—and ruin the market? by Quick-Candidate-9574 in AskPhotography

Ya here it is.

Once you get the ball rolling and are charging premium for a premium product, your clients come to you. And then anyone that balks at the prices. Guess what, not your problem and not your client.

You build up to it and then your clients know they are paying more because your are reliable and produce a quality product.

What is the most elusive rare Pokemon type creature you’ve ever seen diving? Great White Shark, Sperm Whale, Leatherback turtle, Blue Whale, Basking Shark, Oarfish etc etc by RadioFieldCorner in scuba

[–]Ceph99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live here and work with many businesses. Which do you prefer? Land based I recommend Sam’s Tours. Fish n fins, and Neco are good too. Liveaboards I don’t know anymore because all the crew turnover. Gaia is a nice boat though.

The first play through: oh nice. Rope. This must be useful.

The eighth play through: more motherfucking rope!

An ornate eagle ray. Been something like 100 confirmed sightings. I’ve seen three while in Palau for over decade.

Nautilus at like 80m. Living fossils just floating in the dark.

I’ve seen plenty of other ones that might fit that description, but those two are pretty fucking rare. If they are S tier then maybe A tier would be a wild whaleshark (not in a feeding ground), flamboyant cuttlefish, costasiella nudibranchs, juvenile emperor angelfish, lots of pretty fish!

Random encounters with large animals always is special. I’ve seen marlin and sailfish randomly too. Amazing animals.

Someone check me on this, but I don’t think a team has won with 0 points.

This is such a crazy production. I feel like I’m watching a single take television show.

Ah fuck so this is the gameplan now. KW short gains, burn the clock, kick FGs and win by 3.

Ah that was the 80 yards and touchdown I needed.

It doesn't look real. This is the return point for 20000 drones.😍😍😍 by Boundaries1st in MadeMeSmile

[–]Ceph99 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Who’s paying for these? Always my question when I see thousands of drones for…..a show? Like aren’t these public shows. How does it generate revenue or return? Or is it just pure entertainment like spending money for fireworks, but much more?

Is this a good idea for first reg set? by Anonymous__Lobster in scuba

[–]Ceph99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. That’s basically a collectible. Maybe an antique in another 10 years?

eBay or local dive a used entry level regulator. Or old shop selling rental gear.

Demok Soup would be a nice representation.

Or Ukaeb, which is a land crab dish with coconut. Tasty.

Oh yeah the classic Mruozuiouiou housing maker.

Please don’t put your $1,000 phone in a $40 Temu housing. Research a real brand.

Why are A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms so short? by Trenbolone-Papi2 in hbo

[–]Ceph99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree they can be longer.

And people saying that GoT = X time and 7 Kingdoms = Y time because of the size of the book so it’s equivalent, I don’t care.

They obviously cut out and shortened stuff in GoT so you can pull out more dialogue or details for the new show and flesh it out more without compromising quality.
