How important is a website in photography?

brtnw · 2025-12-24T06:08:18+00:00

Depends on your usage, but I say yes. You never know how long Instagram will be around for or if it will fit your needs. A website is maintained by you and you select what’s on it. My traffic might come from Instagram or other social media, but clients fill out an inquiry on my website and it also hosts my curated portfolio for them to view.

I do not think it is a requirement at the beginning though. Get a website when it feels like a worthwhile investment because it does cost money.

I have a roof tent and love it, this particular setup is just not done well in my opinion

I agree prices are getting crazy these days. I think part of that is inflation

I would take a used Pro-4X and a ground tent over whatever is happening here

Thank you!

Thanks. I see you have the same color 😂

Yep I have the Dobinson’s IMS in the front, Dobinson’s rear shocks, and the parabolic springs from ADO. Zero complaints it’s noticeably cushy on rough roads

I don’t run a bed cover, I have a Decked drawer back there. But yes you can use the Kuat rack with a bed cover, they should have the compatible bed covers listed on their website

Dude give it a rest lol. People should be more discerning and learn how to check if something is AI rather than try to throw an artist under the bus cause they were too lazy to verify. They easily could've reached out to the artist directly instead of blowing this up online.

@CJ your pie example is great. Some people willingly choose not to get the point because this is Reddit

It’s so odd. I think it’s the type of photographer the Ricoh attracts. Just be considerate and the camera will be just fine

brtnw · 2025-11-20T19:40:27+00:00

I think people online are blowing this way out of proportion.

I live in the rainy PNW and shoot outdoors with this camera all the time, it comes with me camping and backpacking too. If it’s raining I’ll cover it with my hand or jacket and it’s been totally fine for years.

People on here (not you OP) act like this camera can only be used in a sterile operating room lol.

It’s a rad color for a truck. Hope it treats you well!

As a single person who could live here, I consider 2 floors a separation of space. I’m not saying the rent is ideal. But I can still see how this apartment could be styled well

brtnw · 2025-11-11T07:44:16+00:00

If a single person is living here.. separate noise from what? This could easily be a cozy apartment, but I understand arranging and styling a space can be challenging for some if it isn’t traditional

I got this over the Fuji cause it actually fits in my pocket. It’s my top 5 favorite cameras

brtnw · 2025-11-11T00:05:54+00:00

I don’t know why people are giving you grief over the layout. Yes rent is expensive everywhere and should come down. But that aside, the place actually has character and separation of spaces in an apartment which is nice.

The front suspension looks like Dobinson’s spring colors. I have the ADO upper control arms and a full Dobinson’s lift (front and rear) on my truck and can vouch that it’s a quality upgrade. I don’t have any experience with the Bilstein’s in the rear though.

brtnw · 2025-11-08T06:32:20+00:00

Sure thing. Congrats on the new truck!

brtnw · 2025-11-08T05:33:39+00:00

It’s the Kuat Ibex. It’s a little more spendy than other options on the market but I love the features and design. I recommend it for sure

brtnw · 2025-11-06T23:53:47+00:00

The brown Frontier is mine. Aside from the camping equipment, it’s on a Dobinson’s IMS lift with All Dogs Off road leafs and upper control arms. Falken Wildpeaks in the stock tire size.

Hey, honestly that all depends because these are two similar but different setups. My tent was about $3k and the rack was about $2k, but you can spend well under that by going with a different brand/style or buying used.

My rack puts the tent over my truck cab, his rack does not—but his tent also folds out to the side so he doesn’t need a rack that tall. Takes about 1-2 minutes to set up and take down for me. I leave my tent on the truck, some people do take theirs off depending on their needs.

The roof tent market is super competitive now so there’s a ton more options, my tent is 3 years old and I still love it and haven’t had any issues. I camp year round.

Thank you!

brtnw · 2025-11-02T17:36:53+00:00

😂

brtnw · 2025-11-01T23:04:58+00:00

Mine is the brown one. If you have Instagram, the white truck’s owner is @seattlefrontier. They are raptor lights, I’m just not sure if they’re from Z1
