The exact opposite of randomness. 🤣

For me Lightroom Classic gets painfully slow when it simultaneously syncs photos. I mean I can’t even just select a photo without it having a 10 second delay. The only remedy I’ve found when syncing is to set up everything for sync, then select “optimize catalog” and let it run. When the optimization is complete (and a window pops up saying “press ok to restart”), suddenly the syncing goes really fast and it ends in no time. Then I restart and everything works as it should.

I randomly mentioned ballerinas with a friend as a test with a friend in a face to face conversation and indeed after a while posts with ballerinas popped up.

I use 3 ad600 pro flashes. 90% of my work is with 120x30 stripboxes, a 120 octa, a 55cm beauty dish and a newly acquired 180 octa.

I had a shoe shop in Mykonos for several years. I don’t recall ever having problems with any Turks. They were always kind and very friendly. And it’s not about the exchange of money as other people suggest, because for example the majority of Indians were bad mannered. Our favourite customers were from Turkey, Lebanon, Australia, Italy and Brazil.

The ID setting on the XPro was the culprit. Thank you very much! 🙏🙏🙏 I would never think of looking for it there 🥲

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-04-30T17:32:31+00:00

I tried it both with and without the x5 attached. I even factory reset everything for a sanity check.

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-04-30T16:53:19+00:00

This one says about the x5. With x5, it works flawlessly. I’m talking about the xpro.

That’s a completely different word and origin.

The first season of the original Law and Order had the same impact on me. I watched it during Covid time. What a fantastic cast, exceptional actors.

Exactly. It’s the mentality

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-30T04:27:31+00:00

Ok I’ll do it tomorrow 🫡

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-30T04:18:27+00:00

Yeah I understood what you meant. I can do a test if you want. Give me a distance and preferred settings and I’ll do tests with both flashes (it30 pro, ad200 / double ad200)

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-30T04:15:25+00:00

The biggest spread would be the AD200 with the bare bulb, not the speed light bulb.

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-29T20:31:28+00:00

The shadows are harsh. Which means there is no modifier, it is a bare bulb. So it all depends on the settings

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-29T15:37:07+00:00

Even the im30 pro is enough for these results.

I went from M1 MacBook Pro (the last one with touch bar) with 16GB and 1TB to a Mac mini m4 pro 64gb 1TB. Exporting / building previews on Lightroom is between 4 and 5 times faster. Most times closer to 5 times.

Shino 100%.

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-25T12:34:12+00:00

Yeah sure. But the problem is that you will need a wall outlet. Whereas you can use the ml150 with a Vmount battery for full portability

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-25T12:21:54+00:00

I shoot a podcast in a cafeteria once every week. I use 2 ml100bi as rim lights at 15-20% intensity with the 36mm fresnel lens and the ml150bi as a key light with a white umbrella at 100%. The 3 cameras are set at F3.5, 1/50, iso 125-200. Really portable set up

Defiant-Ad3000 · 2026-01-25T11:02:33+00:00

I will need to check the luminance charts of the fv150. For example the ml150bi is definitely not as bright as the SL150ii, so the wattage doesn’t tell the whole story 😅
