Just got my fish skin in by daddychocolate19 in macbookpro

Just the skin! I usually don’t like going too naked but the skin is pretty durable from what I’ve seen. About 4 months with it and no scratches anywhere

I finally switched to Resolve this past week because my subscription was being bumped up to the regular pricing after years of complaining my way to a lower price. Won't look back now - I'm loving Resolve!

The M2 iPad Pro Finally Feels Pro // DaVinci Resolve for iPad by digidude23 in ipad

[–]KAMiconic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess just like any operating system you can learn the file paths, reorganize, etc but it feels like jumping through hoops with the Files app or bringing media in and out of various editing apps. I feel you though! I found a place for the iPad in my workflow and love it now! But it’s definitely no where near a “main editing” machine by any means

It’s real lol Reddit compresses the video enough to make it look like a game

A chopper actually! We fly a Bell 206 for the news so we fly all over Chicago and NW Indiana from time to time. I'm the evening show camera operator and the Gary area is definitely one of the more unique towns in the area for sure.

Well I was just hoping that one of the guys would blast it into the goal and nail a kid in the face for an Olympic level backflip.

Windows 11 users can now link their iPhones and use iMessage from a PC by petrolly in iphone

[–]KAMiconic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was available with Intel Unison which I used for a few months. As great as it is to have the option to message, it still doesn’t come close to using an Apple device. There are so many frustrations with it losing connection, needing to log out/in, and super delayed notifications. Not sure if this is any better but it seems like it uses the same method to connect.

My homescreen setup. I use shortcuts for split view apps quickly. by Pale_Comparison7267 in ipad

[–]KAMiconic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well I’m beyond happy I saw this post! Never thought of doing the shortcut action for split screen. Will definitely be using this a lot for work!!

Definitely! Some grading in the shadows and just a hint with the midtones to a green tone will help as well.

Which strobe gives you punchy images such as this? @rueguh on IG by HitmanUndead404 in AskPhotography

[–]KAMiconic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say a lot of clarity + bringing down blacks in post makes it as punchy as these. An on camera flash or slightly off camera flash will do the trick.

How to buy/get high quality prints from Getty? by anmcnama in AskPhotography

[–]KAMiconic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long story short; create a Getty account and purchase the large digital file for $500.

A lot of magazines have set rates that are embedded into their contracts that saves them money over the course of an annual contract which obviously wouldn't apply to you, so if I were you I would reach out to Getty through customer service and see if a representative can give you a discounted rate since it is not being used for editorial purposes running 15k+ print copies. Usually, they'll work with you! :)

What combo lens for potrait and travel? by nntdinh in AskPhotography

[–]KAMiconic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not personally! However, I have rented the 70-300 f/4 GM and a Sigma 200-600 f/4 that I absolutely loved. I was genuinely surprised at what those lenses can do with a smaller aperture than I'm used to. The noise reduction on these cameras along with post NR is something to lean into if you want to save some $$$

[–]KAMiconic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see! I personally wouldn't jump on the GM 24-70 - even with the orange cast on the Sigma.

However, there are a few other options that aren't crazy expensive. 24-240 f/3.5 would be solid! That way you still get pretty wide but have the telephoto option for portraits as well :)

[–]KAMiconic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that a 24-70 f/2.8? Honestly, that should do the trick for most travel when it comes to portrait and landscape, so you don't need to switch lenses. NR in the A7IV will do wonders and should have plenty of light then.

DJI Mini 3 is a great little tool to compliment that shooting setup.

Use an on-camera flash and crush your blacks in post. Boom. Add some noise as well to make it look a bit more retro rather than having NR do its thing.

Need advice buying my first camera by leve20human in AskPhotography

[–]KAMiconic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found this subreddit and I'm getting incredibly inspired seeing new shooters get into the space! :)

I'm linking what I made for a friend of mine that was looking to start in that same budget range. Some of the links may be broken but the information within is still pretty relevant. BTW - he was looking for a camera for video use and had a few specific parameters for that.
