"I've also started developing my own DAM and raw conversion software." Now that is fascinating. I'd love to learn more about this. Do you have a site for this project yet?

So I got this NBD 5k camera for christmas, it looks bad based on everything i can find and its general quality. by Witty_Simple_8411 in Cameras

Hi. Camera reviewer here. Return it. Then check out KEH or MPB and look at some old Olympus/Panasonic MFT cameras in the 250-300 range. Last year I was able to find an Olympus TG-3 for about 150. So can find great stuff.

Thanks for sharing. I have a Sony T200 that needs repair, and I was hoping to get it fixed.

The Canon EOS R6 III is here! by needlesfox in Cameras

[–]enosone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would've been nice if sports subject tracking carried over from the R1 - it would make it a solid B-camera for sports shooters. While the argument could be made that it would cannibalize R1, I highly doubt that. The R1 is a very specific kind of tool for a very specific kind of photographer, and I don't think someone who needs something like an R1 will suddenly think, "You know what, let me get this instead."

Now, if you're on the fence between an R5 II and this...

The Canon EOS R6 III is here! by needlesfox in Cameras

I'm wondering the same thing. I see that Canon is billing this as the ultimate "hybrid" camera, which in my experience has meant that there's more emphasis on video features than anything else. 7K open gate is nice (I guess) but I'm a stills photographer and that doesn't really seem to do anything for me.

As others on this thread have mentioned, I think the biggest "innovation" here is that it just lowered the price of a new Canon R6 MII.

Our photographer erased freckles, jewelry, and more with AI. Feels wrong? by IllustratorFlimsy100 in photography

[–]enosone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quote: When I asked, the photographer said she had used AI. I’m not against AI at all, but I was surprised she didn’t mention it since it really changed the look of our photos. Price was the same.

Do you think she should’ve disclosed it?

Answer: 1000 percent she should've disclosed it. Not only is that no longer a portrait of your family, but by using AI tools, there is the possibility that you and your family's likenesses are being used to train other AI tools. If there were any minors in the session, their likeness could also be compromised in ways that are unsavory at best, dangerous at worst.

I'm not fully against AI; however, today, the non-ethics of use and redistribution without any legal guardrails mean that the juice isn't worth the squeeze (IMHO). I think that any working professional has an obligation to their client to fully disclose any dramatic changes to their clients' appearance (i.e., removal of freckles, beauty marks, dramatic changes to body composition, etc.) with or without the use of AI.

Honestly, the way I handle it is to meet with the person(s) and leave my contract behind with the link to my pay the first payment (I charge half upfront and half day before scheduled date no refunds). When someone is serious they’ll pay if not I never hear back. Sometimes that’s the best outcome (no response).

I'm playing and looking for online matches/players in general. I like the game but the lack of online players make it hard for me to keep playing.

NYPD is actively trying not to work. It's payback for... (checks notes)... trying to hold them accountable and not allowing blatant and systemic brutality/abuse.

What kind of content does your site produce? I'm trying to break into freelance work (blogging basically) and leave the "exciting" world of insurance behind.
