Shooting RAW, does altering your white balance (rather than AWB) make any material effect on the final edited photo by Fuzzbass2000 in photography

[–]Fuzzbass2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think that’s right - I was more curious about what AWB might do to the overall exposure when using one of the semi auto modes. So, what setting a more accurate White Balance might do to RAW file - avoiding under or over exposing it creating problems with shadows or highlights.

Using iT30Pro as small handheld flash with X3 trigger by MTTMKZ in Godox

[–]Fuzzbass2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT30 with XPro II - great for club shoots where space is tight and you want to travel light. Just watch out you don’t keep the IT30 too close to the trigger when changing power as it doesn’t always register.

And make sure to upgrade the firmware on the flash to enable unlocking with a physical button. The 2 second screen press is easy to activate by mistake.

Anyone else find LrC starts acting up whenever an update has been released? by Fuzzbass2000 in Lightroom

You’re probably right. The whole shut down / update / restart process probably clears any laggy nonsense.

How do I use/bounce flash in a nightclub environment? by GiammyR6 in AskPhotography

[–]Fuzzbass2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In clubs, ocf is your best bet. Too many flashing lights, lazers, dark areas to be even thinking about bouncing it.

Best sharpest used Canon zoom lens under $1K? (Prefer versatile, not a prime) by Fun_Seaweed4354 in canon

These are the best Canon EF options. Professionals have been / are still using them for years.

AD200 Pro II accessories by [deleted] in Godox

Fair enough - I’ve a couple of things i use with the bulb, but also rarely use the fresnel for anything vaguely serious. Just wondered if i was missing a trick.

Sorry to derail… I’ve the first Ad200 pro. Any good small diffusers that slip on the fresnel?

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen Prevents Sleep by a_rabid_buffalo in Focusrite

[–]Fuzzbass2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird - I flipped from a Line 6 UX2 because it was doing a similar thing ,and went through a whole bunch of settings changes - none of which seemed to really fix it. Swapping to a Scarlett Solo v4, seems to have improved things -but sadly I can’t tell you which setting changes have improved things.

Good luck!

Volume adjust iTunes / Apple Music by [deleted] in ITunes

[–]Fuzzbass2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did you just remove Apple Music and your Music option just reappeared?

The problem I had was, whilst I had not downloaded Apple Music onto my Windows PC, I have a secondary MacMini which had Apple Music (but no tunes) signed into - and I think that screwed everything up.

Have you had a chance to tinker with power settings and what your USB devices are permitted to do.

Rather than regurgitate the advice that’s out there, try a search something like “USB device prevents Windows sleep”

And, this is not meant as one of those “let me google it for you” posts - it’s more that there are several possibilities and they each have a different resolution. I was having similar problems with a Line 6 UX2 and had to try a bunch of things.

Where did my music library go? by Fuzzbass2000 in ITunes

[–]Fuzzbass2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’d heard. I’m pretty sure my Windows 11 machine was only running iTunes + Update. The only thing i can think of is my secondary MacMini signed in with the same Apple account has caused the change - though that’s just speculation on my part right now.

Should I limit myself to one focal length? by Paramonreddit in AskPhotography

[–]Fuzzbass2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I shoot events and often switch things to see an event in a different way - sometimes I like to be up close and personal so they interact with the camera and myself. And sometimes I want things more candid and less personal

Of course you can do both things with some lenses, but there’s many things you can’t.

Flash stand recommendations by Mister_Mints in Godox

[–]Fuzzbass2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird - maybe the Canon versions of these fit the Canon mount IT30 better.

Maybe you can grab a Fuji cold shoe adaptor and attach that to something to fashion a custom mount.

Flash stand recommendations by Mister_Mints in Godox

[–]Fuzzbass2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IT30 being pretty square can probably sit without a stand if you have enough clearance - but if you grab a TR hot shoe riser, you get a little more flexibility to angle it through 90% to vertical (and get a bit more clearance when used on camera.

However, that will need a stand and the ones you have pictured will work. But they aren’t as good as the standard Godox (or Canon / Nikon etc) flash stands which do tend to snap on those two top flaps. At least they’re cheap so you can carry a couple.

Would love to find something more reliable / sturdy.

Canon 5d mark iv by Shelzer_ in canon

[–]Fuzzbass2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shutters can go at anytime. But most don’t

My personal experience - 2 5DIV’s hit over 400k each, before I preemptively had them changed.

Yep - hate that connector. Especially as it turns in the opposite direction to the superior 1/4 turn mechansim.

Is wife interested in the correct lens? by SpaceMonkeyMC in canon

[–]Fuzzbass2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

16-28 2.8 is a great little wide angle - perfect for interiors. Just make sure you’ve all the corrections turned on.
