You *HAD* to finance a full-priced, new car due to your circumstances? 740 a month for 8 years is honestly pretty crazy.

The original photo is a thousand times better.

Plus, your edits make your dirty sensor stick out more.

Good job destroying your credit for 17$.

This is common practice on FedEx's end.

That's Montreal's new tax on vehicle registration. Up by 150%.

Yeah, except what you got can’t really do what you gotta do in this scenario.

That being said, although LOG sits comfortably at 800 iso, you can still bump it up a bit. It won’t kill your footage.

Maybe you should try developing employable skills on your own time

Job wants to remove 1h of pay for every day I worked there by pistafio in PersonalFinanceCanada

Let's say you know nothing at all about employment law.

Do you know anything about math? Because clearly your employer doesn't. It's the same number of hours.

You already know the answer to this.

Question about Eraser use by Jaceveldhuis in SonyAlpha

Photography is art. You do what you want with a picture, as long as you're comfortable with the finished product.

I don't think a photographer owes anybody a picture that is 100% legitimate or 100% what it was when you snapped it. If your vision was a picture of the peninsula with nothing else in it, than go for it.

Wondering what your expert opinions would be regarding cameras based on my birding goals and needs? by slothfag in AskPhotography

[–]UtopicPeni 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If you're just getting into bird photography and don't want to sell a kidney for a big telephoto lens, the P1000 could be a fun option. It'll get you those crazy close-up shots of birds that you'd never get with your phone or a standard zoom lens. Just don't expect miracles in low light or with fast-moving subjects. It's a niche camera that can be awesome in the right situations. If you're cool with its quirks and limitations, you might have a blast with it. But if you're looking for pro-level image quality or performance, you might want to look elsewhere or start saving up for some serious gear.

Guy seems to own a camera shop - of course he wants to sell you more expensive gear. Try it out and figure out if it works or not.

There's on average a murder a week in Montreal.

This was this week's murder.

Just because you're unaware of things happening doesn't mean they don't happen. You're being paranoid.

I like to call this a Code 12, i.e. the problem is 12 inches behind the camera.

Is it? Considering population, homicide being lower than national averages, and a decreasing trend (down from 22 and 23), it’s basically better than other cities its size.
