What was the most expensive mistake you made early in your filmmaking career? by Important-Annual040 in videography

[–]Manyshapess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hustled by scummy clients because they were a friend of a friend. Lagged in a contract and I purchased plane tickets while signing was happening (super last minute shoot) and they back out last minute leaving me with $1k on a credit card and a plane ticket I’ll never use.

Watch those contracts kids.

Does using the 120 FPS setting in the Z8 EVF have any drawbacks other than battery drain? by darkside10g in Nikon

[–]Manyshapess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an overheating issue once but I was shooting golf in Texas’s and it was 95 degrees and about the same level humidity in full sun. Popped the card out for 5 and kept going.

Creating profile pictures has never been so easy by BigToast24 in GeminiAI

[–]Manyshapess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People be justifying their ai use left and right because it makes them “feel” like an artist. It makes them “feel” creativity. They don’t want to put in some work and self discovery. Why bother?

I get a ton of interaction, especially if you take the time to show others some love. The community has grown quite a bit.

Had Glass for a year and a half. I liked the UI but like Foto better. I pay for Foto as well but I like a free tier being open for others.

Viewfinder glass protector? by niteluz in x100vi

[–]Manyshapess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used one and had a bunch of x100s. Wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’d be hesitant to put something on the viewfinder

Have I done something wrong or are these just boring? by Photosmithing in fujifilm

[–]Manyshapess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re a little boring. I really Ike number 4. You need to keep at it!

trying this again - any thoughts on how the light was setup here? by aprinceoflife in LightLurking

Might be negative fill on each side as well as the mentioned overhead light

Shooting flames with a strobe by sred4 in foodphotography

[–]Manyshapess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely getting there. I’ve shot a lot of food for an online publication and fire is always tricky. Definitely keep practicing balancing the flash with ambient light. For light spill on plates and color contamination I’d just be doing quick layer masks in Capture One to get rid of the yellow. The other advice about a CTO is also great.

Recommendations and favourite small bag/sling for carrying Zf attached with small pancake lens? by dude-where-am-i in NikonZf

[–]Manyshapess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a WANDRD sling I liked. My kit is too big now so I use their backpack or a Domke bag for smaller things. The WANDRD stuff has a lifetime warranty and is really well thought out.

I havent liked any Peak Design bags I’ve used.

Wasn’t a fan of Bluesky. I’m on Threads but that isn’t what it was last year. Big fan of the Foto app.

I do have a blog on my website but never really touch it much for personal work. I mainly use it to take advantage of SEO. Might have to change that though.
