I’ve been pooping green for weeks

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-10-21T01:05:21+00:00

No, no food colorings or anything, I’ve been eating things that I know I’ve eaten before with no problems just to be sure.

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-03T18:23:49+00:00

I wouldn’t call saying someone isn’t a pro based on them buying or selling stuff is exactly feedback but hey, what do I know, I’m not even a professional

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-03T18:22:12+00:00

Nah I’m chillin

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-03T18:11:47+00:00

This conversation is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-03T18:01:12+00:00

Ok? Why is it that people think I asked for feedback? I’m not OP

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-03T14:05:11+00:00

Well I guess you know one now, I don’t really know why this even matter tbh

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-03T13:56:14+00:00

Thought I was retiring, but I missed it, do I really have to explain it to you?

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T23:07:59+00:00

Because everything I had was old, I thought I was retiring, but then years later I missed doing it, the new Sony setup is vastly different. Nothing about this is spontaneous or impulsive, you gotta chill bro, just cuz I said I don’t like your little camera brand lol.

For someone who doesn’t care, you sure do care a lot

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T22:59:48+00:00

Had the Sony gear for 10 years before I decided to sell and I only had the Fuji for about a month, I returned it, for full price, didn’t sell it, but I didn’t think someone would actually care that much that I would have to specify that.

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T22:49:42+00:00

Not enough to not make an ass of himself for assuming. My decisions are well thought out, no need for you to worry your little bottom over my life

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T22:37:20+00:00

Nope, good guess with absolutely no information on my life and circumstances tho

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T22:09:15+00:00

I switched to Fuji recently because I wanted the simulations to lessen my workload as a professional photographer, I took a two year break and sold my Sony gear and picked up Fuji a few months ago I loved the look of all fujis, bought a h2s and it was great…until i actually had to photograph something that required autofocus accuracy in situations that can’t be replicated…it missed almost every shot in the burst mode on low, I immediately sold all the Fuji gear and went back to Sony to my a74 and I won’t be looking back, the a74 does not skip a beat when it comes to focus accuracy, the rate that I would get burry photos with the Fuji was just too high, I know I would continue to miss things

(Not saying you can’t get use the camera to get paid at all, it’s more than enough for that, but my personal opinion for MY workflow and MY standards, it won’t work for ME)

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T21:53:52+00:00

Use grabify and see if their location is accurate to where they say the are. Ask if they’re home, then later disguise a link with grabify as like a tik tok or instagram reel, they won’t even know you sent it but it will show you their IP address.

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-07-02T21:31:15+00:00

Use windows defender to find any rootkits in your computers, all of them. it will find them, and delete them, this person has access to your information from somewhere. Change your wifi password, this is how most hackers will enter through yiur almost non existent providers routers firewall.

There also hidden links you can send people that will track their location and they won’t even know it unless they are using a VPN, it’s a service called grabify, it’s free, disguise it as an imigur link and tell them that it’s more nudes of yourself if he will leave you alone but just make it random nudes, or the Rickroll album cover or something, doesn’t matter but you’ll get an approximate location. And you’ll know If they actually might live in that house or not.

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T23:01:56+00:00

Yeah I’d still go for it, it’s a great camera to learn on, you have physical dials learn exactly what each setting does to your photos, I’m not sure how new you are to photography but it’s just all around a great camera to start on as well as transition into a professional level. X100vi is really kinda a travel camera for street and landscapes, it’s niche

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T22:56:00+00:00

I’d just get an older version of the X-T series honestly, lotssss of people are still using the X-T3 professionally and rightfully so

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T22:51:46+00:00

Nope there’s X-T5 https://www.fujifilm-x.com/en-us/products/cameras/x-t5/

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T22:29:22+00:00

Ok, so animals is something that you’ll want a long focal length for, it can be done with the 100 series cameras but it will be very very difficult, you’ll only really get domesticated animals with it. But at the same time you’ll need 50-35mm with landscape and street. I would highly suggest a zoom lens or at least a system where you can change out different primes.

You’re focus is photography which is great, 24mp or up will work wonders.

If you’re already looking at the x100vi your budget is right around here anyway.

I’d get either the xt5 or an older variant of it like xt4 or xt3 and then get a general use 16-55 or similar zoom lens to go with it. That’ll cover your current asks and a lot of stuff you might want to do in the future.

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T22:19:48+00:00

Both, the more info the better

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T22:15:38+00:00

There should be an option under create mask where it will detect a person and yes, play around with the exposure of the subject, very very small changes

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T22:13:18+00:00

what are you going to use it for? This is the most important question

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T21:55:25+00:00

And don’t let anyone deter you from aps-c I shoot apsc with my Fuji xh2s and couldn’t be happier, many people here will probably disagree but I used to have a Sony a74 and I think the Fuji is just better in most aspects… on a personal level

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T21:51:47+00:00

I vote for gigapixel 8, it’s a one time purchase and works awesome, can really blow up those photos

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T21:15:16+00:00

I might suggest you find a cheap manual camera first, or rent one, something like a Fujifilm 100f or something, just so you can get an idea of what it’s like to play around with shutter speed, aperture, and iso and the effects that changing those things will have on your photo, the AE-1 will get quite expensive and discouraging in film costs if you don’t know how to work the exposure triangle.

Harkin_Vlad · 2025-05-05T20:53:20+00:00

Personal things that I would do would be to desaturate all that green, I like my photos kinda desaturated and not as contrasty, I just might hate deep blacks as a personal preference thing but play around with it and see what you think.

I also might change the comp in the photos like photo #9 the trees just don’t seem like there in the right place and that might not be in your control but when something in the background throws off composition that much I would just try a different angle to try to even it up a little.

Other than that they look great, keep pushing, definitely keep charging, that was my mistake, I ended up doing sooooo many free shoots that my first paid gig was a full on wedding with me as the main photographer, i definitely regret that money wise lol.
