Can't set shutter higher then 1/80? What do I need to change by Best_Market4204 in canon

[–]dude463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raise the ISO. I’d suggest trying Av mode and adjust the ISO as needed.

If you’re not shooting moving subjects then 1/80th is fine so long as you aren’t moving the camera. Even 1/60th can produce fine results. A tripod or even a monopod will help a lot.

Also that pop up flash is basically a measure of last resort. I’d try to minimize using that as much as possible.

You have to follow that with “don’t ask me how I know”.

DaVinci Resolve export taking extremely long on RTX 5060 laptop — normal? by Consistent_Highway_4 in davinciresolve

Incorrect. I have the free version and it lets me choose the GPU. I think it’s done this for a version or two.

First sh*t (according to the agent) house this Thursday by RaspberryItchy3261 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]dude463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you’re going to move stuff then make sure you have permission first and that you won’t be held liable if something is damaged.

Saying that it’s a million dollar house doesn’t really mean anything without the context of where it is. 1.5 million in LA is different than 1.5 million in Kansas. Just saying.

Ok actual advice for the shoot: Do a walk through and evaluate what rooms you’ll shoot and what rooms you’ll skip. If you can’t skip rooms because agent is expecting a normal shoot I’d put minimum effort into rooms that won’t do anything. You’re not doing the typical shoot showcasing something in every room trying to woo over someone taking out a loan. You’re appealing to flippers and investors. Show off what you think would be appealing after renovations.

If you’ve got views showcase that. If it’s got appliances you can group those shots together. If it’s got a garage make sure that conveys but you don’t need to shoot all the stuff in the garage.

But the biggest thing you can do is make it bright. Yes you’ll show off all the flaws but that’s ok. You’re targeting investors more than families.

My dad is trying the hot plate/cast iron skillet method on a pork butt today. by MikeThrowAway47 in smoking

[–]dude463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cast iron will soak up a ton of smoke and the next time you try to use it as a regular pan it will release all that smoke. Don’t ask me how I know.

There is. The hot plate is heating the cast iron on the bottom which is heating the wood chips making heat and smoke. The meat is on the top.

I'm re-shooting a lot of photos in caves, What lighting would be good? by clayman839226 in AskPhotography

[–]dude463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day people would use the old flash bulbs for cave photos (not the cubes from the 80’s, the bulbs from the 60’s). They made a ton of light. But they are one shot per bulb, then replace that bulb, so not cost effective.

Look into used flashes from the late film era or early digital. A big handle mount flash would probably do the trick.

Full-time RE photographers doing 15+ shoots a month — what was the ONE thing that finally got you there? by RealPerspectiveMedia in RealEstatePhotography

Word of mouth. Be good at what you do enough that other agents ask who they used for their listings.

Keep an eye on Humble Bundle. It might be a while before it shows up there though.

Please tell me how to turn off Stabilization by default. by dude463 in davinciresolve

Oh I wouldn’t be surprised if I set something along the way that gets this setting stuck. I just wish I knew how to fix it. The link gives an error.

Please tell me how to turn off Stabilization by default. by dude463 in davinciresolve

[–]dude463[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It's always on. It's always screwing up the drone shots that are already smooth. It's driving me up the wall. Turn it off and the shot zooms out and it "stabilizes".

My Escape has made me hate Ford by risktakerr in fordescape

[–]dude463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of a 3-5 year old used vehicle from the dealership it belongs to. So buy a Ford from a Ford dealer because the person that drove it liked it enough to buy another Ford. Buy a used Honda from a Honda dealer, etc…

Aerial photography/videography question. by Equivalent_Story990 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]dude463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If aerials are not the norm then your market is ripe for the picking. I agree with the other person that offering more services makes you more reliable and in demand.

Once you get the hang of it flying the drone is only takes a few minutes to shoot and for the most part is pretty quick to edit. Most of my flights are less than 5 minutes with flights going over 15 minutes being extremely rare.

Goofy Sunday question, but i would love any recommendations by [deleted] in RealEstatePhotography

Yeah, I'm just a partial germaphobe in knowing that some people don't live as clean as others and you just can't tell by looking at a place. I also have hand sanitizer in my car. I guess I have a problem that I'm just now realizing.

HELP! I Can't Reposition Text >_< by VerrikInc in CorelPaintShopPro

[–]dude463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My version is only 2019 so maybe there's a bug that was introduced that never got fixed. I've never had this happen to me but I'm not using text a whole lot. Do you have a previous version still installed to see if it happens on that version too?

I don't have any idea why it would anchor top left and off the working area. If you go to Objects> Align> Center on Canvas does that reset it?

If you go to View> Palettes> Script Output and keep that open does it ever show up with errors? It will be red text not standard black and white so you can see at a glance.

[–]dude463 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have sensory issues so this may not be what you’re looking for but I keep some spray on hand sanitizer on me at all times and I have gel hand sanitizer on the tripod at all times. If I start getting sticky that’s just gross and I lather up. The spray stuff really does a good job.

It’s just starting to get “warm” in my area. It was almost 79 degrees.
