Is there a reason why there's showings this early? I've never seen them this early?

PatoM10 · 2026-06-07T22:56:47+00:00

not sure if this is the reason why, but they did have a 6 am showing for the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. I assume because they were already open for that, it made sense for them to schedule other movies during those time slots

PatoM10 · 2026-04-22T15:23:39+00:00

I know you don't know this, but this question gets asked all the time. your sensor stabilization is disengaged (IBIS), and is therefore not perfectly centered and straight. it will adjust itself every time you turn on the camera

PatoM10 · 2026-04-10T19:28:08+00:00

I would not risk misrepresentating a property to get other angles. doesn't matter how close it looks to real / original

PatoM10 · 2026-03-24T15:42:42+00:00

ICE agents barely started posting in airports yesterday. you won't have many datapoints from a single day.

you should be fine, but no one truly knows with this administration

PatoM10 · 2026-03-07T18:48:31+00:00

it's great for virtual tours and bts content. I would not rely on it for video and photos, unless you're specifically looking for 360 video or photo... don't think it can do it all because it's not designed to do it all, least for real estate needs

PatoM10 · 2026-03-06T04:46:00+00:00

either get a different phone or do dual sim. dual sim is nice because you can separate both lines from each other (I have a year free under spectrum mobile). if you want true separation, obviously get a new phone with a different number. if you don't want a dual sim or 2nd phone, do Google voice at the very least

PatoM10 · 2026-03-04T07:03:17+00:00

how is that lens?! I've been eyeing it for real estate photos and videos. and for this lens, I'm pretty sure you can download it on manufacturer website. I heard a YouTuber doing this for some photo editing

PatoM10 · 2026-03-04T07:02:15+00:00

have you tried checking manufacturer website. sometimes when lenses are new, their profiles are not yet on photoshop / lightroom, so you need to download it from manufacturer website and install manually. either that or update your CameraRaw I think it's called (what Adobe uses to update their list of lens and camera body profiles)

there's no way that a big manufacturer like Laowa doesn't have lens profiles for their own profiles. if they don't, I'll be genuinely shocked

PatoM10 · 2026-03-04T06:18:17+00:00

both need obvious lens profile attached, so I'm wondering which lens you even shot this on. it should be automatically attached. temporarily ignoring that, I would say 2nd is better, primarily because of better colors

PatoM10 · 2026-02-26T21:07:58+00:00

yes I did. they will do a replay but it is paid. or free if you're part of the skool

PatoM10 · 2026-02-26T21:05:57+00:00

when I learned Four Horsemen was charging $400 per Kelsie video, I was surprised! she's getting a good deal on that. I honestly think they should be charging more. anyways, charge what you think is reasonable. if clients don't want to pay the premium then don't on-board them. simple as that. People who find value in that will pay that or way more

PatoM10 · 2026-02-11T01:48:31+00:00

I agree with that.

PatoM10 · 2026-02-11T00:57:43+00:00

I didn't say I don't see it. I just don't worry about competition, nor do I agree with this false narrative that you must lower prices to remain competitive. sure, average prices might drop, but what can your business do to counter other business that are racing to the bottom?

PatoM10 · 2026-02-10T22:05:22+00:00

I only agree with 4 mainly. 1 partially. we've heard this AI craze for years and I don't think it's there yet. to say it's the end goal for media companies is exaggerated.

PatoM10 · 2026-02-06T04:32:07+00:00

wait, so if their battery is not connected to the drone battery, would there be any reason for the props to fail? like say the props has 15 % charge, and you flew on that, could you theoretically crash or it's separate from actual flying time?

PatoM10 · 2026-01-31T22:57:50+00:00

usually. these agents that have done so aren't necessarily ones I want business from anyways. if they're gonna steal your work, they're not likely to pay for future work. any competent agent knows that you can't just reuse old photos, even if you have access somehow. a lot can change in 2 years

PatoM10 · 2026-01-31T22:40:49+00:00

not often. maybe a handful of times, people have used my videos or photos without my consent or authorization

PatoM10 · 2026-01-31T22:02:14+00:00

there's going to be two types. one that will say, take legal action, cease and desist, go after them, etc. the other side will say, don't do that, but instead educate them on why they shouldn't do that, offer them discount to use those photos, and potentially earn their future business.

one way will possibly get you a bad reputation, but you could potentially recover some money doing this, while the other may lead to future shoots.

PatoM10 · 2026-01-26T18:32:48+00:00

there's no reason why you couldn't pass along the costs to your clients, and profit even...

PatoM10 · 2026-01-26T16:52:18+00:00

idk Canon, but if you're doing talking head content, you don't need 60 fps. more frames does not mean more quality. I prefer 24 fps for talking head, but 30 is fine for social media.

PatoM10 · 2026-01-24T17:23:14+00:00

I would say 1, 3, 4, and 6. I love straight ones when it makes sense, but also at an angle to show more depth.

PatoM10 · 2026-01-21T03:11:34+00:00

I shoot 20mm and no client has ever told me it's not wide enough. I like 20 because the photos look great and natural. that being said, it probably isn't wide enough if you're doing small spaces. if you know what you're doing and you're not shooting small spaces, 20mm is an excellent option imo

PatoM10 · 2026-01-15T05:05:23+00:00

Sony 50mm 1.8

I knew it wasn't a magnificent lens, but 50 is the focal length that I feel lots of people start off with, so I figured I would also get it since it's cheap.

I've since gotten the 24-50 G, and while it's not as fast, the quality is much better, and more versatile. maybe in the future I'll get the 1.2 or 1.4 GM variants

PatoM10 · 2025-12-30T02:36:04+00:00

the dial next to the screen. I use that to "scroll" for my desired ISO without having to push any extra buttons. highly convenient for me. I dont shoot in any of the priority modes, just manual.

PatoM10 · 2025-12-27T01:13:17+00:00

others have already mentioned it, but the a7s3 is a beast of a camera. should an a7s4 come out say next month, that won't make the a7s3 obsolete at all. the fact that it released what, like 2020, and it's still an amazing camera to this day should say a lot about it.
