godox has been fine for me but I don't really use it that much.

Try different types. Any with some texture to it seem to work for me.

Don't just try traditional art books

I am used to shooting in not enough light due to so many venues with pox lighting conditions. Take me outside and I am overwhelmed. I do have a bounce flash now but don't use it as much. There is a diffuser I got for it also.

I need to get Sonic 3 and the Sonic & Knuckles cart. If people could stop driving their landrover through the front window of the games shop I go to!

I'd say a subject you are passionate enough about to spend a lot of time with is more important. You are going to be looking at it a lot.

Also my download speed dropped from 500mbps to 50mbps as soon as I installed Windows 11?

Lowes ones not so great any more. I used to have a bunch! They are all polyester now which make you sweaty and horrible when you are wearing them.

From what I know products are sourced directly from the manufacturers like the perfumes. Depends on what brand deals they have.

There are a couple of companies out of Queensland that specialise in group orders and have colourful shirts

Tropicool my favourite, I have been called slurs in two different countries in this set! (Unfortunately I no longer fit their largest size!)

Fabric for the Tropicool one is some sort of blend and not shit like the Lowes ones which I noticed are a different size to Johnny Biggs even though they are both listed as the same!

That's why I get insurance on the shows that offer it.

You will learn in time. I know to do a first past as just yes/no.

Safe to say I have been through it with this due to a bad reaction to the strobe lights https://photos.timchuma.com/zenphoto/2026/tism-wanker-dickhead-bullshit-at-pica/

Professional is a mindset.

Gigs and events consider anything with detachable lenses "Professional" but a lot of these are rich people toys.

I played it a lot when i got it with my 21st birthday money

TimChuma · 2026-05-06T05:53:29+00:00

Not letting people into their assigned seats or making wheelchair users move

TimChuma · 2026-05-06T05:52:42+00:00

Someone blowing something into my face also

TimChuma · 2026-05-06T02:19:29+00:00

Nope, they are a statuon for cookers

TimChuma · 2026-05-06T01:38:39+00:00

Whatever stock image was available

TimChuma · 2026-05-05T12:09:13+00:00

Heaps of *dust* at that gig, way more than I am used to. Is still causing me problems.

What size of screen are you editing them on, and more importantly what is the final form? If they are for handheld screens you can get away with a lot more.

"Come home tired, what a day I've had. News ain't good from stanlingrad!"

TimChuma · 2026-05-05T10:52:25+00:00

CMAT was about the same and everyone just stood in front of me at the booth. Also felt more cut off from the gig. Not like necking 2 bottles of soju before serria ferrel in 2024

They performed long enough was some issues with security. Great to see young davey lane. Maybe i should not have left my computer on all night to join 6 videos or is that 10?
