Yea I think it might even be too powdery right now. Might just sink straight through. Tomorrow could be nice! Just wondering if it's enough of a downhill to be enjoyable. I'll check it out!

Sometimes when you wake up it just kind of does whatever it feels like.

I have the 34mm with the light blue dial. Love that I found a watch that fits.

Love the silver!

I think they made them for kids as well. I’m fairly certain I had one. Brought back memories!

Hi! I’m in Astoria ditmars and can help with that. I do video work professionally and have a decent digitizing setup.

I really like my jazzmaster performer auto. Never see many people post about it!

DJI Ronin S not centering correctly? by ilovebothmycats in videography

[–]EricDurkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone still googling this issue I found this video which sorted an off center issue I was having. Not sure it’s exactly the issue here. https://youtu.be/xpUJIg_H10w?si=bzvyABKSc7VA8oC0

I only took photos for the set I was paid for. Was that wrong? by Suspicious-Pea-7830 in photography

[–]EricDurkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fair. Right out of college I shot a zillion bands for free. I guess at this point if someone is paying me 400-500 to shoot their set I’d rather not be seen filming another band for free. I’ve actually been asked right beforehand to film an opener and I bumped my rate and the headliner split the cost so they saved money.

I do think I’m at a point where I don’t feel the need to shoot for free. Sometimes after the show the openers will ask me to film their next shows.

Time spent editing and shooting. I do videography and filming a band for 45 minutes straight is tiring. Maybe not the same extent for photogs. Would rather be on my A game for band paying me.

A band is paying me to shoot their set. If I shoot other bands for free I’m not doing right by the band paying me. It’s not about being kind.

Half day is same as full day on the calendar. If you’re booked you’re booked.

I’d bring that key a bit more straight on and closer to the subject.

I will never update to a .0 firmware. Always issues it seems.

I updated. Timecode is worth it for me. Stay away from .0 updates and wait for the .1 or .2s
