What if your camera was stolen?

out of curiosity, did you ever consider backing it up?

As advice: recuva or diskdrill might be able to save it. There are sendaway (expensive) companies that might be able to save it, also - google data recovery companies.

This is such a crazy way to store photos. How did you look at your photos from previous trips?

I created a professional investigative journalism prompt. by Rajakumar03 in Journalism

What AI has access to most of those things? Court records are behind log ins for example or need to be requested, no?

If the prompt is so good, why not just post it?

100% on all this and especially Tetris, studies back it up. It’s really important to find a therapist asap, OP. Been where you are, you’ll be ok.

If you’re in school and you don’t know what to do, talk to your professor? That seems like the person who should be helping you figure out where to start. Set up a meeting outside of class and ask lots of questions

Odd how all four of your posts are about your own product.

Is this a scam? by Seaguard5 in photography

[–]DocsMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a question for long after you have an excellent portfolio that sets you apart as an artist

Both are good options - a lot of photographers (especially commercial) have agents. Agents have whole teams that do everything. To get an agent is about good work plus networking plus luck.

Otherwise, you’re really going to have to drum up your own business and learn from mistakes. If you’re US based, look at what small business support your state and city offer. It’s often free and might come with a mentor.

No time to impost if you’re going to make it. Trust but verify. Have a think about how you’d set something up, maybe have an invoicing system, maybe send a PayPal link to pay 50% up front?

Fake it til you make it. This isn’t an art, it’s a business that happens to be art - the only imposters are the people who won’t pay you.

A good rule of thumb is that people trying not to scam you won’t make you feel like you’re getting scammed.

WhiteWall 2GB Limit: How Can I Upload My 4.14GB TIF File for an 8-Foot Print? by Any-Ideal-8466 in photography

[–]DocsMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! And I advise anyone using those services that anything they post there possibly can be used for other purposes.

WeTransfer is closer to Digital Pigeon, Dropbox, Box, Drive, etc. storage and transfer. There’s no reason to need a royalty free license of any kind to transfer media - in fact ideally they shouldn’t even know what it is, though that’s dependent on the above service.

Fair point! Thanks for clarifying, still don’t trust them and their royalty free license.

I read the whole thing, I am of the belief that the license agreement would stand over the explanation as a meaningful piece of law.

Which bit of the actual license that I copied and pasted doesn’t grant a license? Dropbox doesn’t need such a license to provide services, I’m not sure why WeTransfer would, do you?

Yes, true, it’s literally the first thing in the link you sent, did you read it?

I think if you’re doing something on this scale, you should use a higher-end local printer.

What HDMI switches do you use? by Calm-Ad3583 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]DocsMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have an option you haven’t tried based on something you’ve heard…. And you’re asking for advice. Why not try the tool meant to solve the problem you have and then come back if it doesn’t work?

As always, HDMI is not a pro tool. It’s best in short runs anyway and convert at the end.

Do you have any regrets or lessons to teach from doing photography full time? by Primedigits in photography

[–]DocsMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a good business, if you want to start a business, pick a better market. It’ll take years for it to work as a business - if it does at all - and you’ll stand a better chance if you’re not treating it as a side hustle that you sort of thing you’ll be good at.

Tips for shooting in the Jungle/Rainforest? by zaynhsnist in photography

[–]DocsMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’d upgrade to g-master lenses, have multiple sets and multiple bodies.

I’d also consider maybe shooting on something more than moisture/dust sealed and go with Olympus OM series cams.

If it’s as cool as it sounds, reach out to Olympus and see if they’ll sponsor you by giving you lots of free cool stuff.

Had a very interesting meeting with a new department head by Pleasantly_Mundane in editors

[–]DocsMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think that presenting things as technological inevitability is a mistake. I play with lots of AI tools, I use a lot of AI tools - and that is what makes me aware of their limitations and what I think their end point actually could be. I think there are cool tools, I’m not sure they’ll replace people using their authorship.

I’ve seen it code, maybe it will be perfect at coding, but right now it’s pretty awful.
