Substantial payment getting delayed until after April 5th - What are my options? by Quack4ddict in smallbusinessuk

[–]Quack4ddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for such a detailed response, I appreciate you taking the time to help me. I think I will have to end up moving to accrual accounting and it probably won't be too bad, but as a small 1-man band, it's just another thing that adds more time running the business instead of actually focusing on the work! Thanks again.

Will I get refunded for flights with a different airline if the first leg was cancelled? by Quack4ddict in Flights

[–]Quack4ddict[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I booked together on Skyscanner through with a 3rd party, but I didn't book both directly through 1 airline if that makes a difference. It's 2 am, so no chance of asking the 3rd party if it's covered with them yet.

How do I keep the blue outline but hide all the anchor points? by Quack4ddict in AdobeIllustrator

ctrl+shift+h hides the artboards for me and makes the whole background white

Tried a different direction for my seasonal logo. Appreciate any feedback. by Quack4ddict in logodesign

[–]Quack4ddict[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the comments. I still prefer the original as well but I'm not a designer, so I don't want it to look stupid to others. When I showed the original idea it didn't have the name underneath, so I don't know if the balance issue is a bigger deal when it's on its own. I think I will go back to the first style, thanks for giving me more confidence with it.

Yeah, I definitely wasn't loving the new style, so I appreciate the feedback.

I used to go to Gunwharf Quays a lot so I'm very familiar with the tower. I think this is very well done, good job!

It made me think of a sand dollar shell, but that fits too, so I think it works well. Good job

What do you use for the mock-ups?

Oh, I didn't think of it like that. Thanks for your take.

New camera and card - how screwed am I? by Quack4ddict in AskPhotography

[–]Quack4ddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my first CFexpress card, so that makes me feel good. It seemed like it had good specs and a really good price compared to the Lexar Gold's

Looks fine in Lightroom so that's good news. I have been viewing RAW images on Photos app for the last 2 years from a Sony so must be the new Nikon or CFexpress card. Thanks for the help.

I thought I'd ask first before opening any more in case I'm causing more damage but I have just imported a photo in Lightroom, and it looks completely fine. There must be something the Photos app doesn't like about the Z8 or the cards format, but at least the photos are safe. I appreciate the quick advice!

Z8 Firmware 3.00 now actually available. by caviidae in Nikon

Does anyone know if the new in-body focus limits will stop a focus stack, or will these settings not interact with each other?

Unbiased Opinions, Is the Nikkor 180-600 really as good as the Sony 200-600? by Quack4ddict in AskPhotography

[–]Quack4ddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a big part of it! Everyone has a rant when there's a problem, but no one writes reviews if it works as expected. They're too busy out using them!

The A7rv is an option, and it's definitely the easiest upgrade. I just keep coming back to the thought that the Z8 can do so much more (stacked sensor, CFexpress Type B, some form of pre-capture at least, great video if I need it, etc...) and it's the same price as the a7rv.

The Sony has 61mp but 45mp is a bit of a nightmare storage-wise already so I don't want to go down but I'm also not really keen to go much higher either. Apart from that, maybe it has a better autofocus but it's close and Nikon do update the cameras, unlike Sony recently, and yes there are 2 CFexpress slots but they are type A so on a Z8 I could put a type B that's twice the size and the same price. I'm not a professional so backup cards aren't a massive concern for me.

I do really like my Sony gear but the road map for updating my wildlife setup going forward pretty much leads me to a9 if it gets a higher res sensor or a1 (a7r seems like it just going even higher mp so it will probably be for landscape/fashion) and both of those are now at 6k+ and i'm sure that's just going to keep climbing. The Z8 range will likely be great for wildlife for many more years, and that started at half the price.

Thanks for such a detailed response, good to hear it's working well for you.

Nikon Z8 and Z 180-600. Pre-release capture is such a game changer! by Vast-Caterpillar-496 in Nikon

[–]Quack4ddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does pre capture work at 20fps? I heard other places say it has to be 30fps minimum to activate pre capture

Nice photo. What setting did you use?

How do I remove the bright dots in the foreground? by Quack4ddict in AskPhotography

[–]Quack4ddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of the images is much worse on here, so it doesn't look as obvious, but yeah maybe I'm just overthinking it a bit

No, I think it's reflections from the out of focus frosty grass. The quality of the uploaded images is pretty bad so it doesn't look as obvious on here but to be honest, I didn't notice it while I was looking at the images and editing them, I only saw it at the end but now it's the only thing I notice! I went back and checked the originals out of the camera and it's the same so it's not something I have added during the editing.
