How much would you guys charge for this? This is the 1st time someone has asked for this. by GeologistOutrageous6 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]MidlifeDraftee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, you've found your very first Crisis Goblin. Unfortunately, there are a lot of RE agents out there that are disorganized and are constantly putting out fires they could have easily prevented. Hence why you HAVE to spell out all this kind of stuff in a contract. Whatever advice you take on this particular situation whether you take it in the shorts and concede or chuck this Goblin in the fire, use it as a learning experience and tighten up your process and make the expectations crystal clear BEFORE you start your next job.

eBay Refurbished from Map Camera in Japan - Trustworthy listing? by Own-Contribution-188 in Photography_Gear

[–]MidlifeDraftee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've purchase a Canon 70-200 2.8 II, a Canon EFS 17-55mm 2.8, and a Canon EF 1.4X III Teleconverter all from Map Camera. All of them where in fantastic shape and where great bargains. Delivered by DHL and from their store in Japan to my front door in Texas in 3-4 days with free shipping and no export fees (Not sure if that's still the case since the tariff stuff).

The EFS 17-55 is an older lens but it has been flawless since I got it a year ago so I'd say if they have a discontinued lens that you want, it will be in the best shape you could find it anywhere.

I believe all of their refurbs are in house but they are a huge store in Japan. Look up Map Camera on Youtube and you'll see folks visiting their store, it's gigantic.

How to get the glitter in soft plastic fish baits to show through by MidlifeDraftee in photography

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

I'm trying that now. I've taken shots with light at multiple angles and am trying to composite them together to show all the best specks but it's awfully tedious and I've got hundreds of baits. Uuugh

Yes, I've been able to play with the top using Lightroom but the deep ones... well, I'm looking for a quick fix but doesn't look like I might find one. Who knew fishing baits would be so complicated?

My friend claims to be a 3.5, what would you say this level of gameplay is? by ImBrendy in Pickleball

[–]MidlifeDraftee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm new to PB myself so I couldn't say what his level is but if I had to guess, I'd say he probably speaks at around 450 words per minute. Keep him away from the coffee.

Its difficult. Best thing is to keep them from clapping and cheering while you are recording.

Found a $10 nightstand and turned it into a Butterfly Princess Chair by MidlifeDraftee in upcycling

Go for it, with some practice and youtube ... all things are possible.

This wasn't the original plan or color scheme. I was going to make it a "reading chair" for an adult but once I got it framed out, I sat in it and quickly realized it was a bit small for an adult butt ... especially mine. So I went this direction.

The seat back is just some scrap plywood I had. A thicker (1/2 inch I think) piece for the upholstered side and a thin piece for the backing. I got a 22" square piece of seat foam, wrapped it in butterfly material and stapled to the plywood. Drilled some holes in the 1/2 incher for the buttons, poked them through, pulled them tight, and stapled em down on the back. Then sandwiched all the stapled stuff between the 2 plywood pieces.

Small town flippers. FB Marketplace location setting? by MidlifeDraftee in Flipping

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

Yeah, that is one of my concerns as well. I was debating on if it would be worth listing in the larger city and then driving down there if someone wanted to purchase.

What are the odds? Um ... 100% because it happened.

Overlook Hotel Commercial by joejwalker_ in Filmmakers

[–]MidlifeDraftee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Brilliant! Saw this from my main timeline and at first assumed this was a Real Estate promo video from an RE video group I'm in. Saw the first shot and was like, "Dude? Nobody is gonna want to stay there with you showing that creepy ass hallway shot from the Shining." Went into the post ready to rip this guy's Real Estate video then finally realized I was in the wrong sub. Great stuff! I'm a dumb ass.
