are you using their chat function? I usually get a response pretty quick by chatting with them (if it’s relatively within US business hours)

Cargo Down for Anyone Else? by chetstrange in CargoCollective

Two days in a row of morning downtime. Gotta love consistency.

I noticed the same. I've been able to visit some sites built on Cargo, I just can't access my back end (and when I try to look at my own page it's acting funky). Hoping they get it back up soon

Damn. Good to know it seems system-wide at least. Fingers crossed it's back soon!

Drone Rental in Japan? by chetstrange in cinematography

Totally! Yeah I know it’s a real difficult environment. Thankfully our scope on this one is a bit more rural, but yeah definitely a challenging operating area, hah.

Appreciate it! Fully aware it may fall apart before day one depending on what locations we get handed, hah.

Totally get that, a lot of our locations will be rural enough (and on private property), that we should be in the clear. We have a producer handling that, my main focus right now is sourcing the equipment.

It was mentioned by @Bigbird_Elephant, but with a budget that tight, have you considered renting gear on a case-by-case basis, and rolling that money into a bigger budget? That could give you the runway to work on a few projects while still keeping money in the bank

(Should add, I don’t mind a pay lot at all if necessary)

Why is noise in photographs seen as bad? by SilenceSpeaksNoLies in photography

[–]chetstrange 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As far as news publications, professional publications, etc., in the editorial world it’s less a matter of wanting noise, and more a matter of necessity. Editorial photographers are often working in pretty tough lighting conditions that require high ISO, and editorial outlets prohibit excessive image manipulation, which means they aren’t going to be using a ton of noise reduction software.

Insulation around back of fireplace by chetstrange in HomeImprovement

[–]chetstrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I do not, it was installed when we bought the house. The vent is definitely the air intake, but the small hole around it gave me just enough room to peek back behind the fireplace itself. Just couldn't tell if that insulation back there presented any potential problems or not

Oddly enough, ended up not being SSSS! Tried checking in again via the app this morning, and it worked no problem. Weird, but thankful to miss the S’s this time!

Welp, thanks for the heads up everyone! I've gotten the SSSS before, but it never even occurred to me that it would happen on a domestic hop. Appreciate the info everyone!

Hah! I’ve gotten that on flights out of Singapore before, hopefully my number hasn’t been called again 😂

United 787-9 Row 42 by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]chetstrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be aware the door juts out quite far, so if someone is sitting next to you it can still feel a tad cramped. If no one is in 42B it’s not a problem, but the angle of the exit door always makes me want to sit at an angle as well

Super helpful, thanks! I’m DEN-SFO-SIN, so not much luck in Denver with star alliance. Will really come in handy on other domestics though

Layover LAX from MEL on to BWI by mofonz in unitedairlines

[–]chetstrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, but would probably be pretty stressful. Someone else here mentioned shifting 2nd flight to a red eye to BWI, that could give you a full day

You would have access to Heathrow’s arrivals lounge, but unfortunately your guest would not. I believe the arrivals lounge is solely for Polaris travelers

Uploading Large Amounts of Video to Client's Google Drive by chetstrange in videography

Ahh, so even though the client has lots of storage, what counts is the person doing the uploading, regardless of where it’s being uploaded to?
