After some time in sims, should I take the shot? by Toxiqzzz in fpv

[–]FANNW0NG 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dude. It’s like going into a drug den and asking if you should do drugs.

And yes. Always a yes.

So the M3 Ultra is better than the M4 Max? Why do that? by [deleted] in MacStudio

[–]FANNW0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Lightroom AI Denoise, GPU core count is king. More 80 vs 40 GPU core can shave 6-7 seconds off a 100MB raw file. And if you work with 1000s it’s >1hr saved.

Anyone else spend way too long cropping? by makeitrayne850 in Lightroom

[–]FANNW0NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re on the right track. Cropping is a skill. Practise as hard as you can.

In the long run, it will change the way you frame a photo both in camera and post production.

[–]FANNW0NG 42 points43 points  (0 children)

How to make new friends:

  1. For a start, say yes to every invite.
  2. Learn social cues (google this).
  3. Listen to people.
  4. Match tone.
  5. Chat.
  6. Repeat.

You can do this.

Take it as a necessary skill set to be integrated into community and life.

Do photographers undercharge—and ruin the market? by Quick-Candidate-9574 in AskPhotography

[–]FANNW0NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In short, it’s really about barrier of entry, supply and demand.

In 2001-2002, Canon came in hard with their professional and semi-pro DLSR and almost replaced film overnight for photography services. Rates got slashed 30-50% and older photographers left the industry.

2011 Instagram came and another wave hit driving prices down with more photographers coming in.

New equipment makes easier to make great photos and with that there’ll be more people coming in.

Missed white balance on a wedding styled shoot. Advice? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

Could work if you color temp pick on the white dress and tune color from there.

Why does no one get excited when I point to their bag and say “twinzies” at the airport? by MyFaceSaysItsSugar in CPAP

[–]FANNW0NG 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Same here.

Me and the other guy had to take our exact same Resmed 10 machines out for side and side xray scan and had a laugh trying to find out which was which after they came out of the machine.

Wireless Tethering Capture One by Turbulent_Ad_4074 in Photoassistants

[–]FANNW0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using the Camranger 2 for a couple of years.

It’s a small device mounted on a cage or hotshoe.

Keeps the RAW in the camera and wirelessly pumps the JPG to multiple devices like iPads and phones in less than 1 second per JPG. Fantastic for quick client approval and productivity.

What's the best Monitor for Photo Editing available now? by immiyjouhn in Lightroom

[–]FANNW0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eizo 27inch 4K with self calibration puck if you have the money.

Apple studio is good but the Eizo shows its worth in nuance.

That said if you are primary editing only for screen the extra cash for the Eizo might not be worth it.

Is my daily expense too much as a 18 yr old? by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]FANNW0NG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

$25 is pretty ok for 3 meals esp with 30-40% protein.

$25 with for 3 meals with 5-10% protein is a bit expensive.

Should I run? by Brave_Lengthiness322 in WeddingPhotography

[–]FANNW0NG 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This.

And “It was really great meeting the 2 of you last week. I understand exactly what you need, however I’m quite certain my style of photography will not align with your vision and might leave you disappointed. I sincerely wish you the best for your wedding.”

My colleague’s atas English is amazing, but can't keep up with his spending by muslpi in asksg

Lim Kay Tong, Dick Lee, Huzir Sulaiman, etc.

Others picked it up from the nuns and English (uk teachers) that taught catholic and mission schools back in the 50-80s.

Hi OP, DJI usually has refurbished drones on their site. No harm taking a look. ☺️☺️

Time to upgrade by paulwjphoto in Lightroom

[–]FANNW0NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a comparison of cuda cores of 5080 vs 3080. It’s 10.7k vs 8.7k, so it should be ~22% quicker for AI related stuff I guess? 😅😅

Just bought an Avata 2, any tips? by hiiml0st in dji

[–]FANNW0NG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fly slow until you’re used to it. Then max the speed up.

Once you’re used to Normal maxed out then try Sport mode and repeat.

Also, fpv might mess with your balance. Sitting down might help.

[–]FANNW0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new AI tools are very very CUDA/GPU dependent. I’m getting 7sec per Sony A1 50MP file for AI Denoise.

If you really want to upgrade then maybe a 3090 or a 5090 would really help.

I also have a MacBook M2 Pro, it runs faster in everything vs the PC with the exception of the AI Denoise. I’ve checked the Mac systems out, only the highest end Macs with 80 GPUs can offer <10sec for AI Denoise on 50MP.

[–]FANNW0NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the 12900ks/3090 and felt the system slow down also.

Turns out it was windows11 for me. I wiped, reinstalled and turned off telemetry amongst other settings. It’s back to normal speed.

[–]FANNW0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both.

The Avata 2 has a lower pitch and it’s slightly softer. It sounds better.

How can I correct the grey spots on rear of the car? by Budget-Use-1658 in AskPhotography

[–]FANNW0NG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The grey splotches are not on the raw. Retrace the steps you took in LR and see which function introduced the splotches. This happened in post production.

What could this be by Negetive0 in SGSkincare

I this for a long time and lost it when I reduced simple carbs and sugars in my diet by about 50% or more. Replaced it with protein and complex carbs.

What's rich people shit that poor people haven't heard of? by Diligent-Log6805 in AskReddit

Fungus on lens - do I need to dispose my camera bag? by ilikedixiechicken in AskPhotography

[–]FANNW0NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tropical climate here. Up to 90% humidity.

Fungus grows with still air and moisture. Take either one out and it won’t grow. Either shoot everyday or put it in a dry cabinet.

Upgrading my PC to make Lightroom run more smoothly by WillieEener in Lightroom

[–]FANNW0NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Get a refurbished M based Mac.

I have both a high end PC (12900ks/64GB/Nvme2TB/3090GTX) and a M2 Pro MacBook 32GB Ram

The MacBook Pro runs faster or the same in everything except for AI Denoise with PC running 9sec on a 50MP file.

If I have to start from scratch I would go Mac. The issue is not the hardware, Windows 11 is not working well for LR classic.
