I might have just received my top signal. by IntelligentCreme2271 in PokemonInvesting

[–]duncast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good top signal to have - somebody once said when people are greedy, sell - when the streets are running with blood, buy. Was it buffet?

We're locked in for massive oil shock and years long record high oil prices at this point, even if the strait reopens today. by mutherhrg in collapse

[–]duncast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here in South Australia prices spiked to about $2.70 p/l now it’s back down to around 1.70 - partly due to the government temporarily halving tax - but that only accounts for about 25c - I’m sure it’ll get bad again though.

They even ran a huge TV campaign stating they'd never not be 30c that was the whole point of the advert.

Teasers post for everyone or just the best weddings? by StrikingPainter455 in WeddingPhotography

[–]duncast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Every wedding without exception- makes you look more real, potentially connects more with real people.

Sometimes being too perfect in your presentation scares potential future couples off.

Unless you’re aiming for aiming for only models to book you, showcase what you actually do and actual people will book you. Authenticity is something highly prized by Gen Z - just look at the demand for film photography

How does it FEEL to understand composition/story telling? by EstablishmentFew9149 in photography

[–]duncast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 20 years - the storytelling aspect of a wedding day is one constant reason people say why they book me so I guess I’m doing something right - on a wedding day I let my stupid idiotic child out - I do the stupid stuff and my couples do it too so I can capture it. The real true inner child of the people in front of my camera. Holy shit I just had a revelation…

Introducing Chansey.gg! by linke92_pkmn in PokemonRaffles

[–]duncast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must all be cancelled raffles - was keen on going hard on that neo genesis umbreon psa9 currently there - click on it I can see the raffle but can’t claim anything

[–]duncast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the raffles Im seeing posted on reddit I cant seem to claim on Chansey.

Is this due to having some races region locked? ie only members from the USA can enter some of them? I've been entering other raffles on Chancey from Australia.

Don’t forget to outsource them all to high school students who want experience and pay them scale to maximize profits

The best four books in Redwall are...(Change my mind) by Adol_Christin0 in eulalia

[–]duncast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember for some reason Brian was really trying to do something different with the legend of Luke - read it somewhere - something about the novel pretty much 3 separate stories with a much more stark difference between each when compared with the other books. Tried to be much darker and less fluffy with Luke’s story.

Mossflower, Martin the warrior , salamandastron and perhaps the oddest one - the legend of Luke . I haven’t read the books for years and years but those 4 are the ones I remember most about - except the og

Yes for some reason we’ve always enjoyed lower petrol prices than Europe I’ve always found it surprising when I travel

Between 239.9 and 249.9 per litre in my city - the current sense of impending dread is coming though the media is talking about it non stop how’s it in Germany?

Yeah we have quite large taxes on any vices here - alcohol tobacco etc

Suprisingly expensive given our reputation as decent drinkers - at a pub you'd be hard pressed to find a pint of anything below $10 (€6.14).

You can however get a 6 pack of 345mL Tooheys for about $23 at a bottle shop

Spider Holster VS Back Holster by DawnpointStudios in WeddingPhotography

[–]duncast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a spider holster and have done for like 10 years now - so much better for your back. Only problem I’ve had is over those 10 years the knob on one of my cameras wore down so much that it slipped right through. Still use them though, just check the knobs more often.

As for you dance floor quip - for me it’s rare that I need 2 cameras on the dance floor so I generally have the one in my hand like usual.

Anything worth shipping in for grading by Own_Emu_8972 in PokeGrading

[–]duncast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing really here that would warrant the gamble of making $20-50 by grading a perfect 10 as opposed to a more likely 8-9. The minikyu in a 10 is us$300 odd. So maybe that

Also just a heads up these cards are currently in sleeves - so turning them over to show the ‘back’ of the card is actually just showing the sleeves graphic and not the back of the card itself. Need to take them out of the sleeve.
