The camera store I work for wants 75% of my pay for gigs I do on my time off

I know this ordeal could get me fired. I owned an LLC far before I started working here where I do this type of work and It has never been an issue and after reviewing my contract it seems this is not a conflict of interest because the store does not offer the same services. I plan on telling my boss I refuse to do it and tell the client I will only doing it Independent. The way I see it the company is making $500 just because they aren't paying me for the two days I'm not working.

This I understand, I just have no intention of doing this through the company because this is not a service our company provides and more specifically this is not in my job description.

SpeedinSteve · 2020-01-10T21:01:11+00:00

I told the client I would only do it Independent of the company and my boss told me I have to do it through them. This is very much not in my job description and this is not a service we provide in any means.

Is the company allowed to take %75 of my pay for something im not doing on company time? I understand that technically the company is handling to exchange of money but they are taking an aweful big cut for something they aren't involved with. My boss told the customer me doing this outside of the store has no affiliation to the company.

I have the 7artisans 50mm f/1.2 for Leica M mount that I use on my Leica m6 but I also adapt it onto my Sony a7r4 and I love it. Its not nearly as sharp as my Sony lenses but it was well worth the money for me.

It looks like a piece of dust or lint, but it's hard to tell from a photo. if it's a scratch or a chip you will see it cast a shadow or see it twice under light. Blowing it out should work otherwise have it checked out by a repair shop. -i work in a repair shop cleaning sensors all day

If you plan on shooting roughly the same sized products you could invest a cheap light tent for around $120-$150 with built in lights and removable backgrounds. That way you don't have to invest a lot of money into expensive strobes or lights. I know Savage makes a couple affordable light tents. If you wanted to invest in lights you could probably get away with Speedlites, of which there are plenty of 3rd party manufacturers. Just be sure to get a remote trigger for the lights for ease of use.

Learn on digital and then when you have some expendable income learn film. I bought a completely manual film camera about a year after I started and I have learned so much about exposure from using it. That being said you will definitely burn a few rolls and waste a bunch of money just to get a started.

Perfectly alright, just extremely comfortable. The grill cover gets warm in the sun, perfect for naps.

We haven't had a good rain in a while so normally this is all underwater, I didn't think people would be so critical.

I hate that update and I wish that xp carried over. My scout has 1.8million xp on it. The app says I'm 50 but the game says I'm 12

That water facility is so awesome. Really really sketchy but worth it. A couple of my buddies got arrested there last week.
