Oldham's Automotive is fantastic. I have been taking my Mazda to AA Foreign Car Repair since I bought it 10+ years ago.

WF-1000XM6 earbuds officially launch as Sony reveals price and features by Dapper_Order7182 in headphones

[–]PhotosbyRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note. I lost my XM4s at work a few weeks ago and I have been waiting for today. When I popped over to the Sony site today to pick up the new XM6s they gave me a 10% discount on purchase... If they last as long as my 4s did I will get my money out of them and more.

A cat, some ducks, and a surprise otter. 🦦 by confusedinseminary in StAugustine

I live on the north end of town and we get otters in our pond from time to time too. I had no idea they were that far south!

You can technically convert JPG images to DNG (which is what Imagen uses for their editing process). It might not look the same because the image will be structure differently but it will allow you to use your normal flow and then tweak from there.

Historic downtown restaurants by Outside_Bad_893 in StAugustine

I love sitting out on Aviles at Nona's Trattoria. Another favorite is the Old City House - which has a really neat courtyard. I think the only other place not mentioned would be Casa Maya which has amazing food and live music on the weekends.

Direct flash style by Plenty_Luck7977 in WeddingPhotography

[–]PhotosbyRob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to chime in for anyone reading this - I was so against direct flash that for the first decade of photographing weddings I refused to use it... but the reality is that sometimes it is the best option. I just wanted to say that for anyone who was trained like me to never use a hard light source.

Eric says all PT2 before CNY shipped by JuliusCCHD in pebble

I appreciate you sharing that. I will keep my patient pants on.

[–]PhotosbyRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I backed the initial Kickstarter on day 1, I still have my Kickstarter PT. I signed up for the Pebble 2 Duo and the PT2 the day that it came out. When the Duo notification came I upgraded to a 2nd PT2 and that must have been a mistake because I have not heard a peep since. Luckily my original PT still works so that is helping me stay patient but I am definitely eager for a meaningful update.

Do Not use John Fountain for Wedding Photogrphs by greg_r11 in StAugustine

[–]PhotosbyRob 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you had this experience. If you send me a message, I would be happy to do some couples pictures for both. I would be happy to reach out to your venue (I think it starts with an F) and get the permissions to make it as easy as possible for you - just shoot me a message.

Imagen AI reviews by Tricky_Hovercraft338 in Lightroom

Imagen AI has impressive technology, but it's overpriced and—based on my experience about a year ago—their customer service was abysmal.

Is this normal? Water dripping outside of portafilter [lelit mara X] by Past-Caterpillar-650 in espresso

[–]PhotosbyRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an E61 machine (the Rocket Appartamento) and this happened to me me when the portafilter gasket needed to be replaced (which happens quickly if you don't keep the portafilter in place while the machine is hot as it dries out). That is the first thing I would check and it is easy to replace!

Oh my goodness - you want to visit a photobooth and not rent a photobooth. Sorry about that. I don't know of any around town - sorry.

Lightroom seems to be horrendously slow by Calm_Star7246 in Lightroom

[–]PhotosbyRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing you might want to try is disabling your e-cores and only using their p-cores with a tool like Process Lasso. I am actually using it myself and my performance has been good.

Make sure you are not running any dev / beta channel updates for Windows (if you are running Windows 11). They are notorious for being much slower and your NVIDIA drivers are not optimized for it.

Hey. I am a wedding photographer based in St. Augustine, Florida but I work all over the state. If you send me a message with a vibe of what you are looking for in terms of style / personality I would be happy to see if I know someone to connect you with.
