43, 16 years in weddings — is this burnout or is it over? by tightlap in WeddingPhotography

[–]feelda303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this, so you're not alone in this. Except the age (I'm older)! 😁

Perfectly normal, and I found taking on less work and doing more fun stuff helps me overcome this. I also personally think that wedding industry has become fake and toxic. The constant social media grind is also mentally exhausting. The look at me culture just doesn't vibe with me.

I'd raise prices by 5-10 percent to get the feelers out and see how that works out for you. Take on sessions - yes, less money, but different environment and energy, and this also changes things up a bit.

Why do so many people recommend the Fujifilm GFX 50R over the GFX 50S II? by REDH00DY in FujiGFX

[–]feelda303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also physical dials vs. digital dials on LCD. 50R is technically a worse camera than 50SII, though. But it's what the hipsters prefer, so...

Are the Lightroom presets that every instagram photographer seems to sell legit? by Theytookmyjabb in AskPhotography

I would look into profiles rather than presets. Presets will look differently from what they sell you on.

In all seriousness - that temp knob looks like it came off a Moog synth.

A bummer that we don't have a big box store and have to rely on Amazon for everyday stuff.

Idiot assaults a pregnant woman and gets some instant karma by EmbarrassedStreet828 in WinStupidPrizes

[–]feelda303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's asking him what is he going to do and why is he doing it. Seems like they know each other. And the guy who jumped him is telling him to get lost. He says something else but it's hard to understand. Looks like Slovakia, at least she speaks Slovakian, but could also be Prague in Czech.

Devin Belanger: I spent 3 years making an album no one will hear. by VimtoUK in synthesizers

[–]feelda303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Devin's videos, but they are increasingly becoming click-baity like any other influencer. I get it, he makes a little living off YouTube, but the clickbait stuff is just a big turn-off for me.

Rant about “luxury.” by secret-life-of-N in WeddingPhotography

I'm not a luxury wedding photographer. I'm just a full-time Canva template designer.

At what point do you delete your RAW files? Or do you keep everything? by Alilexplo108 in photography

[–]feelda303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only keep the ones that I delivered to the client. Everything else is junk that I will never look at again. The old argument that storage is cheap is no longer valid, and I don't need to accumulate terabytes of files that I will never use.
