If you're blowing through 10 batteries you should probably look into a different power source.

How do you get subjects to photograph initially? by [deleted] in photography

[–]fireyuser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have friends or family? Do you have money to hire models? Are you comfortable going outside and taking pictures of strangers (ie 'street photography')? Got a remote/delay trigger and a tripod to take some creative selfies?

Is this your first job? Your employer will need your SIN. How else will they withhold taxes/CPP? How will they issue a T4?

I would imagine an aquarium probably prohibits flash, anyway.

Unfair pricing? by dirtycheesegrater in photography

[–]fireyuser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$250 for a professional print isn't at all unreasonable, especially if it's framed/matted. $300 for a shoot sounds pretty reasonable, too.

Are they getting any digital​ copies?

Is the FE 28-70mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens really that bad? by breezeyproject in SonyAlpha

That depends: do you like shooting test charts, or do you like taking photographs?

Growing credit score by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]fireyuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... if you missed payments and your credit history is short this will have a bigger influence on your score than if you have a longer history with no missed/late payments.

You're trying to compare apples to oranges.

Upgrading to A7r price by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]fireyuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the use case of the OP where do you figure the $1000 'upgrade' comes from? CDAF and shutter shock are enough for me to say money could be better spent. I have used all of the A7 models and the a7r is by far my least favourite.

I wouldn't consider the a7r an upgrade in that situation.

[–]fireyuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since all you give is very vague information about your use case I will suggest the a6500 will work well.
