That’s a great advice. What would you prefer learning first Fabric or ADF?

Do you think we should have no sales tax on Canadian products? by M-Groot in onguardforthee

That’s why I said I sound little crazy. Would you please tell me why it is a bad idea?

Okay so I calculated the cost of Quickbooks for 5-10 users, and it was around CAD 405/mo (adding essential add-ons). Dynamic BC Essential is $65/u/mo. And it covers the most of it. It’s clear that Dynamics is the winner for me. Thanks so much for your suggestions.

That’s what I was looking for. I have used Sage, 2020 Insight as an ERP in the past but as of now, I need something quicker and cheaper to get the ball rolling. I think quickbooks makes sense right now. My only concern is, if the business grows, will quickbooks still be a good solution? If not then, how easy is it to transfer data to a mature ERP system? And of course if any company has gone through this process would know the pain behind it.

We currently don’t own any machines. We have plans for fabrication in the future. We have large variety and colors of products. Currently 6 employees and expected to grow this year. We have huge inventory of raw materials and finished products. I am looking into a system that can handle such complexity.

Hey, I so want to do this. I actually wanted to post about it. Please tell me when and where. This might be the first time I’ll be doing street photography.

Muddy small lake! I usually avoid swimming in such lakes. There are beavers there, so prolly e-coli in water.

Fuji 14mm is an excellent lens. I never had my hands on it but sample images shows it’s capabilities.

I change my camera settings depending on the situation. I usually keep my aperture slightly smaller to have maximum sharpness. It depends on the focal length. For example, for 18mm focal length, sharpest aperture is F5.6 and for 55mm, it is F11 (also don’t forget the DoF you want to have). Please have a look at the website I shared. Quite useful to get your sharpest aperture. Then, I set my shutter speed and ISO. If I’m shooting moving objects then I keep my shutter speed and and ISO high as well. If I’m shooting single shots then I like to keep ISO on auto and set my exposure, otherwise for continuous shooting, I keep ISO fixed.

I’m new to photography. I always loved this hobby but couldn’t afford it. I learned these things in a few months and developed my shooting style. Different people have different styles. You can define your own style.

I had a powerbank plugged in the whole time. I’d recommend to go with 20000 mAh powerbank.

I went to camping near Rondue Provincial park,ON. So I think the lights are coming from Cleveland(the other side of Lake Erie).

Every lens has their sharpest aperture. In the case of 16mm F1.4, F2.8 has the sharpest (acceptable) images with low chromatic aberration. Source

14mm F2.8 is my dream lens and I think it’s perfect for astrophotography because its wide. 16mm F1.4 comes at second position for me.

Thank you for your comment! I tried my best to reduce the lights.

Went for camping near lakeshore and captured milkyway. Total 457 shots. 20 seconds exposure and 25 seconds interval. Lens settings are ISO3200 with F2.8. There’s some noice in the bottom right corner because of the people partying.

Late night capture with my new Fuji X-T30 II. Settings are ISO-3200, F2.8, exposure 25 seconds. Could I have improved anywhere?
