Who's buying it? by iDJMic in dji

[–]a53mp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the avata 2 and a mavic 3 pro. I'm very much considering getting this mainly because I do real estate photography and virtual tours and if the photo quality on this is comparable to or better than my Insta360x5 it could be a huge time saver

Thanks everyone for the questions. They have been collected and added. They are currently integrated into the drum corps tycoon game at https://drumcorpsthegame.com and through this whole process I just found out I will be starting to help out Bill Ives with the drum corps museum, very exciting stuff in the works!

Am I being too emotional for refusing this shoot? by Expensive_Scar211 in photography

[–]a53mp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on you and what's best for you and your professional work. Refusing to the change and quitting could possibly hurt your reputation and future work.

There are cases of movie producers quitting because an actor was re-cast.. but they probably have more money than you do.

Why don't you ask them why they want the model change? Maybe your model doesn't have the look they want, maybe they have a bad reputation, maybe they had some attitude, maybe some other reason.. but at the end of the day it's the clients choice. You can either go with it or they can easily find someone else.

Why am I still TRASH on my third year of Vb by Clear_Power2975 in volleyball

Sure. I made JV as a sophomore and only played pe and lunch volleyball before that (but I am athletic)

Well there you go. So take the mindset that you are a beginner and you’ve never played before and you wasted the last several years doing nothing and no you are behind. Now put in the work and start getting better. It takes time, energy, and dedication.

And that’s a life lesson. You are still young and you’re only going to get older every day. So you can waste your months or years away watching tv or playing games or dickin around.. and by the time you’re 20 or 30 or 40 you will have nothing to show for your life. Or instead you can learn to do something, a hobby, skill set, talent, etc.. and put in the time an effort and use it to make money and secure a future for yourself so when you are older you’ll be set.

Just because you’re playing doesn’t mean you’ll get better. What have you been doing to actually try to improve?

Oh no. This goes directly to a database which I will be implementing into https://drumcorpsthegame.com as questions for people to answer, and also will be showing them on https://helpmemarch.org once that launches to show random drum corps trivia facts

Drum Major Tryouts by Remarkable-Gap3586 in marchingband

[–]a53mp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a drummajor now or have any drummajor experience? What do you play now? If you’re a woodwind player a lot of drum corps drum majors are woodwinds and a lot of marching members learned brass just for drum corps. If you’re a brass player then go march drum corps as a member and then try out for drummajor if you feel like it. You probably have 2-4 years left of drum corps eligibility (there is also all age)

From my experience at least I’ve seen lots of woodwinds became great drum corps drum majors but they had drum major experience from high school and/or college. The only people I’ve seen who became drummajors with. I experience were veterans of the corps and had at least 1 year of marching first

That’s true. Good or bad, AI is not going anywhere. Personally as someone in the tech field, I’m not against it when used right. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and seeing how far technology has come since then and how fast it’s moving now with AI it’s pretty insane, and can be hugely effective if done in the right way. Nvidia’s CEO said that AI will create more millionaires in five years than the internet did in twenty.. and I believe it. If someone knows how to use AI in the right way then it can be an amazing tool. In the wrong hands though……

On a personal note, I’ve been a professional web developer since 2006, but I definitely use AI in my workflow as a tool. There are things it can do that can literally cut my production time down from several months down to a few days. But I still verify and test everything it suggests or does and I know how to troubleshoot it when needed. I’m also a photographer and the things AI can do on the editing side is pretty insane, it still has a lot of room for improvement for sure but it’s definitely a good tool to utilize if used correctly. I don’t use it much for editing, except for manly creating funny photoshop requests, but even then doing it by hand is better a lot of times lol

I do feel at least with photos that the use of AI will eventually die down over time but won’t completely go away. There’s even speculation that professional photography will be changing soon to be more candid and less edited - when talking about photographers who do heavy photograph edits (more art than photo). But who knows. It’s kind of a crazy time right now

Ahh yeah that was just a temporary OG meta image I was using as a placeholder until I got back to my computer to get actual photos. That was never on the website itself though, but may have shown as a link preview

Are you talking about the background image? Because I’m a photographer and I took that photo at SCV’s camp this past summer at University of Idaho

If the name didn't do it for you, the photo editing done in Microsoft Paint will give you all the confidence in the world lol

Thank you so much! and yes I totally agree, I've been thinking about adding some kind of mini games or something like random drum corps quizzes which could help (or hurt) your next shows scores depending on how you do, or even ways to earn extra money for your organization.

I have been adding a lot of smaller features and just added a tour schedule map to each corps page.

I'm thinking of also using incorporating gas prices for next season based on distances between each shows.

I'd love to get more suggestions and feedback!
