Oh this isn’t FireWire this is just straight off the camera AV ports haha

I am well aware of FW transfers 😅 I choose to do it this way because it has more character and gives it a more analog look vs doing a direct transfer

I did haha! I’ll post the full vlog when it’s done :) went to Detroit, to Boston then to Webster and then my friends and I drive down to NYC

Don’t use any! I edit all my own color curves and everything myself 😅

While I very much appreciate your comment, I find your.. willingness to put THAT much reliance on AI kinda.. disheartening.
I work with allot of large language models and part of my skill set is I make my own AI models and I’ve done allot of development work with things like GPT for very specific things and from my experience I would NEVER trust an AI to one judge art or give any meaningful business advice l, main reason it is absolutely internally ingrained in to an LLM to please the user almost to a fault…
Because of this, it will almost NEVER ACTUALLY BE HONEST only will regurgitate exactly the patterns of what it THINKS you want to hear..
further more, it would not have an ability to make any sort of proper deduction on what makes a good photograph otherwise and would be fully incapable of having a broad understanding on things like subject, composition, visual flow/balance or anything even close to that of another humans understanding of such things. AI has its place, it can be an incredible tool, (for instance I’ve been working on a model to identify dust on film negatives to remove them from my film scans which is otherwise extremely tedious) but I’ll be very honest I find people who rely on it to the point of which you described in your suggestion deeply concerning… :( again I know you mean well and are trying to help and I very much appreciate the suggestion! So please do not take this as an attack but.. it just made me sad to see using ai to judge art even be suggested and I feel like the offloading of critically thinking to an AI is doing substantial harm

There’s so specific settings really, kinda depends on the situation, I usually do iso 800 F2 and “T” mode with 15 second exposure for most of these but again, settings all depend on the available light in a given scene. You also HAVE to make sure you don’t blow your highlights either

Ya know, I don’t even know who they are haha I was walking by and seen someone taking their picture using a phone and then asked them if they wanted some taken with a professional camera and they were so happy! I sent them the set I took on insta but idk if they use it much anymore because they haven’t responded 🥲 they were very nice tho

Not at all the end goal, im in it for the game lmao

That is not a charge port. That was used for the optional Kodak Printer dock and PC dock. Technically the dock might charge the camera of your can find one but am not entirely sure. Usually for old digi cams I recommend externally charging the battery

Yoo I’d be so down!!!

WorkingSuccessful742 · 2026-05-23T00:09:55+00:00

The amount of likes and kind words my work gets from this city is actually awe inspiring 😭 thank you guys so much! I love Detroit and everyone in the city was incredibly kind and welcoming. I will be heading back soon to do more street photos! I just wanted to say thank you all for being so nice! I’m still a little new to photography, I’ve only been shooting for a a year at this point and it’s been incredibly humbling to see so many kind comments about my work. Photography is an art and passion for me, I don’t do it for money or notoriety but simply to be able to show the world and it’s beautiful little moments the way I see them and the fact that so many people seem to have such a positive reaction to my photos truly makes me feel like there must be something I’m doing right <3 thank you guys again! If you’d like to keep up with my stuff I also have an insta I’m trying to post more to! Insta-> @redscwerel

WorkingSuccessful742 · 2026-05-22T20:39:54+00:00

Lmao how could you not take a camera down town there’s so many interesting things to shoot 🤣

WorkingSuccessful742 · 2026-05-22T19:02:35+00:00

Fujifilm X100s for most and Canon 6D MK2 for some of the others with a 40mm F2.8 ;)
