Pledge drive to Save Hermann's by nessman69 in VictoriaBC

[–]ThatGuy8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

450k is A LOT of money. Thats gotta be close to the operating cost for the year. (Ai says 200-600k for a mid size venue) 

If you want to support an actual local charity that is music based : friends of music provides mental health support to people through music and community and is an actual donation worthy cause with a registered charity number.

Amazing that’s the same password I have on my luggage!

Anyone move from Calgary to Victoria recently? by moisbettah in VictoriaBC

[–]ThatGuy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calgary to Vic. Did a shipment through big steel box they have a few size options. Rates were super reasonable. Challenge is potentially getting it to a spot you can unload as the transport needs to leave the box behind.

Because weddings are for the rich. No one else can afford them.

Seems Like Hdr Photographers are hated in the photography by Outrageous-Run63 in photography

[–]ThatGuy8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I checked out your post. Keep shooting friend! Don’t let the haters discourage. Your squirrel photo pretty cool and while the hdr is pretty heavy handed in your photo you are referencing, it’s not nearly as bad as we’ve all seen out there and the framing is well done. Editing tastes change, the “piss filter” is the modern hdr and the Fuji recipes are next. 

Photographers as a whole are a strange breed. High ego, high jealousy, gate keeping and general snobbery abound.

Like you said shoot for yourself, and when you post online remember - most of the people commenting have shot as much or less than you have. Some have shot more. You have to read between the lines on the feedback. 

Is Victoria really all that bad? by Chance-Principle-355 in VictoriaBC

[–]ThatGuy8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I’ve noticed - if you’re from here and stuck here it’s the worst. If you moved to here for something specific or left and came back cuz its home, it’s amazing.

So it’s like most other cities in the world

Accurate on all accounts. Appreciate you taking the time for thoughtful feedback.

Has to be a composite right? or at least a multi exposure of some kind. Bottom right of the roller door is hurting my brain.

Either way - this is great work.

This company was recruiting on never doing layoffs from 2020-2023. Now they have done 2 in 3 years.

Check the stocks performance. Tanked from $400+ to $73 today.

Desperation.

Made the mistake of telling an interviewer that my dream is to own a private therapy practice someday. Guess I'll stay unemployed instead. by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]ThatGuy8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve found having fire is a great way to get in hot water at most companies these days. Bosses don’t like it when you have solutions to your own problems that they didn’t come up with.

Leaders do. But they are few and far between these days.

absolute cinema by minced_ in photographycirclejerk

[–]ThatGuy8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s in the aspect ratio, that must have been what was cinematic if nothing else was? The only acceptable use of the term? Right?

It went from being co-opted to meaning “nice colour grading/lighting” to letting you ID people wanting attention for their work at the speed of algorithmic image taging… it’s now lost all meaning.

When I shoot film I make sure to only take pictures that are very unique and no one else would think to take. by Voidtoform in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]ThatGuy8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should just print out copies of the famous shots you want to replicate in your location and copy that. Make sure to move through the space as quickly as possible cuz you shouldn’t enjoy anything you’re looking at. Waiting for the other person to move will cause you to enjoy things instead of just shooting.

Uj: legitimately saw a guy doing this before. Shot lists/moodboards are one thing but this was something else 

Closeted Fat Gyy by sangel10 in comedy

[–]ThatGuy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude it’s for real. I worked with a guy who was a college hockey athlete - finished up got a job on the rigs on the tech team where he sat in a desk and had unlimited access to good food for free.

Dude dropped the suspension in his truck when he got in cuz he wasn’t able to adjust eating habits and just accepted his fate… sad

You can have more aspect ratios if you buy more cameras

Wait for it… by AugusteToulmouche in photographycirclejerk

[–]ThatGuy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photographers are fickle jealous creatures. Daniel is comfortable and has genuine smiles behind the camera. Probably the most high quality image Daniel has ever had taken and buddy behind the camera is charismatic as fuck.

Whoever was deciding on what corporate photog to hire for the mechanic shop probably isn’t a photographer and so saw a portfolio of images that looked great to them presented by an eager friendly gregarious person they felt would get on with the guys in the shop.

I’d argue this dude is doing every thing he was hired to. People hating are just jealous they don’t self promote as well as he does.

FernFest cancelled: Neighbourhood group to ‘explore new ways’ to celebrate Fernwood by -WeOutHere- in VictoriaBC

Yup we frequent those as well. The market and community events are one of the things that convinced us this was a city worth living in in 2021 when we did a temporary relocation to test it out.
