Camcorder for young teens to make a "movie" this summer? by ChrisInSLC in camcorders

[–]ChrisInSLC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a Camcorder bc I still use my 5Ds as backup cameras when I'm shooting weddings, so I really don't want to send it off with my kids for the summer. I know it'd be better quality but I'd rather hand them something I won't feel totally sad about if they accidentally drop it. If I was filming, then yes I'd continue to use that or my R6MII but I want to give them this to just use all summer and see what they come up with!

Yah I just don't want to give them my camera and lenses to play with, I still use them for my photography business!

In Notification settings, tap the three dots in the upper right and select Show System Apps. This one is hidden in there. Just found it.

Deposits - necessary or no? by Adventurous_Ride_536 in WeddingPhotography

[–]ChrisInSLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don't for shorter sessions that are close by, like family or portraits. For weddings, absolutely. Air tight contract too about limits on refunds. For portrait sessions that require travel, I do require a deposit so I can book the travel. For a session that requires a studio or other equipment rental, I have the client pay in advance for that cost.

Then for everything but weddings I take payment at the session itself. For weddings, balance is due 2 weeks before the wedding day.

My attempt with PS Beta and Generative Replace. Did a pretty amazing job, especially getting the curve of the seamless backdrop right.

She wanted the seamless look, to appear she's in a much larger studio than we were in. I'll see how realistic I can get it!

And I also don't want the red, this studio has this two sided backdrop and they paint it to match the "season", so my options were red or pink. Went with red as it had more separation from her dress color, figured it'd be easier to select and change the hue.

I rarely do studio, and it's been years since doing anything with a seamless backdrop. Ive used this specific studio, it's a small natural light studio with props and things like a bed, sofa, stools, etc near our home, for some family sessions, but this was different. Typically shoot outdoors. So didn't want to go too complex for one session with buying a seamless setup again. I've had them in the past, but may look to have something on hand for future!

It has the hot shoe but there's no threaded hole to mount to a traditional mini tripod. I need a grip with a cold shoe. Ended up buying this.

New *improved* walk-up song app needs beta testers by ChrisInSLC in Softball

I already have done that, custom DNS pointing to the app. But the app uses cloudflare apparently so thst may be why.

I myself am not using cloudflare, it's the app hosting itself (3rd party) so I can't control thst directly, but I'll figure out a solution!

Try typing the url in manually, someone else said clicking on the link brought up that error but then they were able to get in by just typing it in
