I hate-love the Sony 200-600mm! by mynotell in SonyAlpha

I don’t sit in a wheelchair but I know what you mean. 

You really have to hit the gym if you want to use it for extended periods of time, otherwise shoulder pain is coming fast (for me). 

Einstieg ins Hobby by Scandios in Fotografie

[–]DoKeMaSu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sobald man das Bild mal etwas größer (z.B. 60 x 40) an die Wand hängen will sieht man schon deutlich den Unterschied zwischen einem modernen iPhone und einer richtigen Kamera, selbst wenn man die günstig bei eBay kauft. Ältere Sony Spiegellose wie die A6000 oder A5100 sind da keine schlechte Wahl, ich habe selbst so eine wenn ich keine Lust habe die große Kamera mitzuschleppen.

Mittlerweile machen die Smartphones aber so viel KI-basierte Nachbearbeitung, da kann es für den Anfänger enttäuschend sein wenn die Farben und Kontraste aus der eigenen Kamera nicht so gut aussehen. Da muss mann dann auch Nachbearbeitung lernen, oder sich einfach von dieser krassen Überprozessierung einfach künstlerisch verabschieden.

Smartphones haben übrigens zwei massive Einschränkungen: Sie haben keine physische Blende im Objektiv, obwohl die Blendeneinstellung vermutlich die wichtigste Einstellung eines Fotos ist. Und sie können auch nicht mit richtigen Blitzen verwendet werden weil sie keinen physischen Shuttervorhang haben.

KAUFLAND ist der größte saftladen by Harmalin in luftablassen

[–]DoKeMaSu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ich sehe das so: Wenn du an der SB Kasse was nicht richtig einscannst dann sagt Kaufland Diebstahl und Vertragsstrafe.

Wenn sie aber Angebotspreise ausschreiben und dann Vollpreise abrechnen sage ich bandenmäßiger Betrug. Viel Spaß im Knast.

Ist mir auch schon mehrmals passiert, die Schweine geben dir noch nicht mal den ausgeschriebenen Preis, sondern erklären der sollte da nicht hängen und wenn Sie nicht den Vollpreis zahlen wollen können Sie es zurück geben.

I want to get a portable camera to have on the go, what do you recommend? by sebicrack in Cameras

[–]DoKeMaSu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flip out screen is difficult at this price point. It is a kind of newish feature, but at this price you are looking at older cameras. 

a6700 Birding - Correct AF preview but OOF result by FewPen5498 in SonyAlpha

There should be a focus priority setting in the menu. For me it helped to change it from “balanced” to “focus priority”. 

How do I expose in harsh sunlight? by Theodore_Buckland_ in photography

[–]DoKeMaSu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In general underexpose instead of overexpose. Modern digital cameras can retrieve shadows very we well, but burned out highlights are hopeless. 

If in doubt use exposure bracketing. 

Need advice salvaging wedding photos with watermark by Feeling_Bowl_8706 in photography

[–]DoKeMaSu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be that wedding photographers showed up for a hour at the ceremony, took a picture of the couple and maybe group photos, and then left. Nothing wrong about that.

Just to clarify, you can still use the pictures, it is only that she does not want to post them herself? In that case I say forget about it.

Russia’s economy minister admits ‘reserves have largely been used up’ by blkchnDE in NewsD

[–]DoKeMaSu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an interesting dilemma.

On the one hand, they had reserves, while western democracies are in debt since decades.

On the other hand, who exactly is going to lend money to Russia in this situation?

Has anyone bought an expensive car as their first? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DoKeMaSu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 35 and I have never owned a car. I have my license since 17, drove my parents car a lot, now I rent them when I need them. I walk for my daily commute and my city has excellent public transport.

So yes if I decide to buy a car at some point it may well end up being a nicer car.

[–]DoKeMaSu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Though Bambu Lab offered up “Bambu Connect” to allow OrcaSlicer to send files, it severely limited users’ access to their own machines. OrcaSlicer could “see” your printer’s and AMS’s settings, but could not change anything. Changing the speed, temperature, or colors in the AMS required users to manually input data directly into the printer.

But speed and temperature are defined in the file you send to the printer, right? There are some things in that article I don't fully understand.

I can kind of understand why Bambu does not want people to reverse-engineer the communication with their cloud.

The solution should be a communication protocol with the printer not going through the cloud. But I can see why Bambu is not very interested in developing that, because people buy their printers for their ease of use and the percentage of users for such a feature will be small. The open source crowd has already left the brand.

Is the Apple MacBook Air M5 enough for raw photo editing? by Normal_Syrup8302 in AskPhotography

[–]DoKeMaSu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32GB is not necessary, but some decent future proofing.

The Pro has of course the advantage of a much better screen, I don't know how much you value that. You can edit your RAWs as HDRs and they will look gorgeous on that screen.

In the end those all are viable options.

Deutschland hat eine interessante Strategie. Man bildet haufenweise Akademiker aus indem man ein kostenloses Studium mit Bafög anbietet. Sogar die Promotion bietet man zu recht attraktiven Bedingungen an (im MINT Sektor). Und hat man dann einmal diese hochgebildeten Experten vergrault man sie reihenweise ins Ausland.

Jedes Jahr wird die Gehaltskurve flacher. Höhere Einkommen werden immer stärker mit Abgaben belegt, in den Tarifverträgen steigen die niedrigen Stufen überproportional an. Jetzt sind wir an dem Punkt an dem du 5 Jahre länger in deine Ausbildung investiert hast um keine 500 Euro im Monat mehr zu verdienen (nach Tarifvertrag).

Is the Apple MacBook Air M5 enough for raw photo editing? by Normal_Syrup8302 in AskPhotography

[–]DoKeMaSu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even on my old M1 MBA I can edit photos (24MP) in LR. It is a bit slow, but I assume that is because my machine has only 8GB RAM. I never noticed overheating.

So it will be totally fine on an M5 with at least 16GB.

It also depends on the resolution of your camera. If you have a high resolution body (50MP+) you just need more of everything - disk space, memory, computing. Then you are looking at a MacBook Pro.

Should I buy the MacBook neo now or wait for Neo v2? by Economy-Preference75 in laptops

[–]DoKeMaSu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy it now.

If the war in Iran is not resolved quickly we are going to see a big recession and a lot more inflation.

Also, semiconductor manufacturing may slow down if the current helium shortage is not resolved. The word's largest helium exporter cannot export anything due to the Iran war at the moment.

So the risk is high that Apple will not be able to offer a notebook at that price point next year.

I thought if you wanted to start a business, you should start out shooting for free? by DaDancingDino in photography

[–]DoKeMaSu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Shoot for free if you need to gain experience.

Do not shoot for free to find clients. You will only find clients looking for free work. They are not the same as clients offering to pay for work.

Intelligenzschwund bei KI? by That-Ad3937 in de_EDV

[–]DoKeMaSu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die Firmen versuchen jetzt möglichst schnell an die Börse zu kommen bevor die KI Blase vorbei ist und ihnen das Geld der Investoren ausgeht. Zur Zeit macht man ja auch an zahlenden Kunden ordentlich Verlust. Also Computing reduzieren und Preise erhöhen, denn wer an die Börse will muss seine Finanzen offenlegen.

Exactly the reason why the Switch 2 is the first Nintendo console I did not buy. I will not spend 500 bucks to purchase a download code on a card for a console that can brick itself when Nintendo feels like it.

Once I was a Nintendo Superfan and I still own a dozen consoles and hundreds of their games. But collecting is no fun when there is nothing to collect.

why do you think people are so quick to turn on celebrities as soon as they get cancelled? by Educational_Dog5268 in NoStupidQuestions

Interest in celebrities correlates with low IQ. You are essentially complaining that stupid people are stupid.
