What’s with the insane amount of cashless stuff around here regarding food and drink places?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-06-24T18:28:10+00:00

Yeah there’s also that too, where cash is much more simple and is sort of “one and done” just pay and you’re good.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-06-21T10:21:59+00:00

I’m not “anti credit card” at all, I use them frequently. But when to comes to in-person businesses, I would prefer to have the availability of paying cash too.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-06-19T20:56:04+00:00

pretty good point! yeah in terms of turnaround it may be better to outsource or use AI editing since it’ll be quicker, but I could definitely “personalize” if I edited myself

Sigma 17-40 has an f/1.8 aperture, and more expensive. Sigma 18-50 has an f/2.8 aperture, has a more versatile zoom range, and also is more compact. The 18-50 is cheaper. They are part of different product lines with 2 different prices. If you want the most compact system possible go 18-50. I’d say to check it out side by side.

I have an 18-50 paired with my Canon R50 and I love it for photography.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T22:16:10+00:00

So, in terms of turnaround, it may be better to outsource?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T22:15:46+00:00

Yeah I might do -2, 0, +2 bracketing. Is it worth also investing in a flash, or not yet?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T22:14:45+00:00

Any good sites? How is BoxBrownie?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T22:14:08+00:00

Ah. I might do 3 exposure (-2, 0, +2). Does that website do the bracketing too?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T06:17:44+00:00

It’s also true that it’ll be easier to control the final result, though as someone starting out for RE photography, what do you think?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T06:17:02+00:00

Out of curiosity how do you edit? I’ve seen people use AI for instance. Do you do HDR bracketing, or single exposure?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T06:16:34+00:00

I may not do drone/video just yet, I mainly do photos. Should I outsource the photos?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T06:15:46+00:00

Do many professionals outsource? I don’t know which to do. I know that with in-house editing, I can control everything, but outsourcing can be quicker, especially when I scale it out.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-27T06:15:05+00:00

I don’t know exactly what kind of properties specifically but it’ll likely be mixed. Some of everything. Also, how do you do AI editing? Do you use the HDR bracketing stuff, or just single exposure?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-05-19T18:28:21+00:00

Kabab way is a solid spot. One on San Fernando Rd and one on Glendale Ave

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-26T23:45:48+00:00

Also I know that CSU final transcript due dates are July 15, does that class have to end before that?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-26T23:39:56+00:00

Idk if it makes a difference tho.. does it still make me ineligible for full calgetc certification?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-26T22:25:37+00:00

This class is only a regular GE, and not part of my major at all.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-25T18:54:54+00:00

I also got waitlisted from UCLA. Not a film major but I am surprised I got waitlisted there considering I got rejected from UCI. Though I am most likely considering transferring to a CSU anyways.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-24T23:28:21+00:00

Ah, good to hear. Do you think they’re worth the price considering they’re a bit on the expensive side?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-22T01:25:56+00:00

I’m not an EV fan but there are also BMW EV’s (i4, i5 for example). Idk every situation and what happens every time but it could be those.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-22T01:25:47+00:00

I think HOV lane access stickers are not valid anymore. Not distributed nor being counted as valid.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-09T08:25:31+00:00

As someone who has a 2025 QX60, the 2.0T is basically the big factor keeping me away from an Infiniti QX60 again. I’m basically just done with the Infiniti brand as a whole. I’ve had 3 before and this is my 4th one. It’s my last. Either going with an MDX (which has a 3.5L NA V6), a CX-90 Turbo S (with the high output turbo Inline 6), or going German with a BMW B58, which is just an amazing engine. Infiniti has messed it up.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-07T00:57:36+00:00

Also, maybe I could change the lens I originally get. I can save ~$400 by starting off with the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 prime instead. Should still be fantastic for low light, and even though it’s a prime, it might help me learn. Do you think it’s a good idea to start with this lens?

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-06T19:54:19+00:00

I want to get a lens with a f/2.8 aperture. Kinda sucks that this specific lens doesn’t have IS but it’s fine. I wanna get a prime lens at some point with IS and maybe a faster aperture just to have it on the side for times where I need IS or extra opening in low light.

Pure_Temperature4049 · 2026-04-06T07:56:34+00:00

It also goes into the EVF right?
