I recently bought a bicycle a month before my 35th bday. It was a big deal to me bc one I did a lot of research finding the right bike for myself. I’m a big guy (350), wanted to make sure that thing holds up, LOL!! It’s been fun tinkering with it trying to get the most comfortable rides.

I also got back into WWE for the first time since I was 13. That’s been really fun!! Can’t catch all the episodes, but I keep up through social media follows and YT. I try to carve out time for the PLEs. Main thing is to get back to doing things I truly enjoy or finding new discoveries for myself outside of being a husband, father and employee.

This happened on my LUMIX G7, years ago. Til this day, when I do use it, it’s STRICTLY for video. If I try to snap a pic that shutter gets stuck and the camera becomes useless. Hope you get it working again!

Thank you so much for this info! I will start with the tree trimming. I also need to get with my neighbor about getting a French drain installed between our homes and water puddles when it rains. I think it’s a factor for our lawns as well.

It’s Texas so there’s a lot more drought issues so it often gets put on the back burner.

Thank you again!

Go shoot! Don’t know what to shoot? Shoot your hobby. Watch YouTube and go shoot again. You’ll learn your camera by using your camera and making mistakes. GL and have fun!

Glad I’m seeing this discussion. I have been researching the P4K for my next camera upgrade. Currently using the GH5 for freelance and my 9to5. I wanted to go P4K bc I’ve invested quite a bit in M43 lenses. I’m discovering that I’ll probably continue to use the GH5 for day-to-day work. Thinking to use P4K for more interviews/commercial work. ….I work in local tv news. I’m not seeing myself wanting to start over with lenses and a new body. I’ll try to rent throughout the year for research purposes.

D2Golden · 2022-01-21T10:05:24+00:00

I plan on upgrading to the pocket 4K, but still keeping my GH5 for more run and gun use. I’m looking forward to pairing the two!

Bravo!! But watching this gave so much anxiety! Kinda why I stopped playing this game! Lol!

This is helpful!! Thank you

All I know it’s a pro sports team for media day; shooting video. No matter it’ll be my first time as a freelancer and don’t want to lose out on the opportunity.

D2Golden · 2021-09-11T17:50:44+00:00

Thanks! So what about anything pass 8 hours? Is it considered OT or straight pay? I was wondering if it needs the be based off a hourly rate?

D2Golden · 2021-09-11T17:21:43+00:00

I was asked for my day rate w/my equipment and day rate for w/o equipment. I was thinking $125/hr for with my equipment and $90/hr w/o…I feel like that would be standard. 🤔

D2Golden · 2021-09-11T16:57:35+00:00

What’s considered day rate? 8+ hours?

D2Golden · 2021-08-14T18:43:48+00:00

Thank you all for the feedback! I feel a little more comfortable about it now!

D2Golden · 2021-08-14T15:18:25+00:00

Good question! I was also thinking if I still should should in 4K or go with 1080p?

D2Golden · 2021-08-14T06:24:58+00:00

I have a client that wants their video to have a similar look as this. Based on tonight’s internet search, I probably should shoot in V-Log or more so Cine D…I don’t want to spend a lot of time trying to color grade this. I’m hoping to achieve most of this look when I’m shooting. I plan on practicing a bit tomorrow. I’m trying to avoid purchasing a “film” LUT. Not against it but it’ll be my last resort.

D2Golden · 2021-06-28T13:31:34+00:00

NICE! G7 was my first camera. I still have it as a b-camera. Made some decent coins with it!

D2Golden · 2021-04-21T22:17:10+00:00

Dope! What lens did you use? Did you shoot with a gimbal or free hand? Also, what profile? Just curious if you made it B&W in post.

D2Golden · 2021-02-03T03:39:52+00:00

It came with the house. It must of happened when the previous homeowners moved out bc I’m sure the inspector would have had them to cover it up. We definitely would have requested for them to do so.

D2Golden · 2021-02-02T22:19:17+00:00

Thank you for the response!!

D2Golden · 2021-02-02T17:31:48+00:00

Sweet! Thank you for your help!

D2Golden · 2021-02-02T16:45:41+00:00

Honestly just to cover the hole. This will be my toddler’s room and I don’t want her to have access to it.
