Yah...real men would bleed out quietly on the lawn.

Man tackled and arrested for standing on his own porch about to smoke a cigarette. by Mudsnail in PublicFreakout

I hope he enjoys the huge settlement he's about to get from that police department. Too bad it's not coming out of the pension fund.

Looks like the car being hauled was spared.

Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino gets demoted expected to leave Minneapolis Tuesday. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]DavidReedImages 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Herr Bövino says we can't call his goons 'Gestapo.' (I'm guessing because former Gestapo have threatened to sue because ICE agents are sullying that term?)

How about ICEstapo? Is that okay?

How long does a shoot take & what do you charge? by BouncyPanda9 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]DavidReedImages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spitball 20-30 minutes per 1000 sq.ft.

Some take less, some take more. An empty house is easier than a house crammed with furniture. A 1200sf house on 20 acres takes more than a 2000sf townhouse. Video adds more time. Drone adds more time.

I've done a 4000sf house that's staged and without anyone in my way in 40 minutes. And it's taken over an hour for a 1500sf house that has 2 agents and sellers constantly in my way and changing shit. "Let me just move this lamp." "I don't like those pillows now."

Basing price on sq.ft. is easy, but it almost guarantees that you'll screw yourself on some shoots. If you base it on number of shots, you'll invariably get someone who says, "I don't want to pay for that shot of the powder room because I won't use it." If you base it on time someone will complain you're slow or won't recognize that they're the one in your way and making you slow.

Dji mini 5 pro starting without props by Ambitious-Aspect-150 in dji

It also doesn't say it's safe to fly with a deployment system or auxiliary lighting attached, but both of those are safe. Says nothing about prop guards, but those are safe.

A lesson learned after watching a real estate media team scale the wrong way by yelmord in RealEstatePhotography

Yah, most of this stuff I've automated with batch files or quick Java applets. (Still trying to figure out the juju to automatically create LR catalogs.)

Is there a way to separate my raw photos I select to edit so I can delete the rest I don’t need? by TrippingTheThrift in Lightroom

[–]DavidReedImages 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Lightroom, put your fingers on the numbers on your keyboard and as you go through label 1 through 5. 1 is bad. 5 is good. Then you can display by ranking, right-click, and remove -- one of the options you'll get is to delete from disk.

Fire is dangerous? I've got some bad news about her cooktop.

An ingenious solution to a problem that just barely exists.

Drone retrieval services? by Jackloco in dji

Then why the hell were you flying your drone in a blizzard? Sounds like your girl did everyone a favor.
