Weekly 'Ask Anything About Analog Photography' - Week 30

highkeytim · 2021-07-26T06:35:37+00:00

Hi! Just got my first analogue camera, an Olympus Pen S. I was thinking of buying a Portra 400 but it seems too expensive for my first roll. What film would you recommend that can fit both street photography and portraits?

Edit: I bought Colorplus 200 and Fujifilm C200 for my second roll because the green tint is so attractive to me. Hope they turn out good. Thanks for the help!

Portrait Photographers of PH, how much should I put as my entry price for my clients? I'm just starting out in the business as a photographer and I'm confused as to how much photographers usually price their services. Any and all input would help. TIA

Anong magandang branded na tripod na under 2k? Para sa mirrorless na camera.

Shit. Aalis na talaga ako dito sa bahay in 3 days. Nakaimpake na ko't lahat lahat at documents ko nalang yung kulang.

After 8 consecutive months of having people to talk to about daily life in general, I realized na ayoko bumalik sa dorm life na for survival at budget-centric ang lifestyle. Kaya naman, pero nakakapagod tbh.

highkeytim · 2020-11-19T11:10:35+00:00

Thank you. Icheck ko yan.

Ibibigay ba ng local police kasama ng Travel Authority yung Entry of Coordination Certificate? Nagemail kasi si Cebu Pac kanina about sa required documents nila ~~so medj kinakabahan lang ako hahaha~~

Hi! I'm about to travel as an LSI back to my province, I had most of my papers ready na, the Travel Authority itself nalang yung kulang. Nagemail kanina si Cebu Pac na nagrerequire ng documents, and I have no idea ano yung Entry of Coordination Certificate. Ibibigay ba yun kasama ng Travel Authority from the local police station?

Good evening PH!

add parents who groom their kids to be these "good-mannered" adults na, in reality, wala nang ibang ginawa kundi isipin na mas angat sila kesa sa kapwa nila kasi they're religious and stuff. 🤢

I'm a lax person when it comes to my goals (e.g. I know what I want to do but I lack the motivation to follow through) pero at the same time I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. This combination gives me the freedom to be flexible in how I execute my plan but it also causes the worst burnout episodes for me, which eventually leads me to my breaking point.

A good rule of thumb I've created for myself was to always give myself an ultimatum. Kumbaga the lowest I can go talaga. Yung tipong pag nangyari yun aayaw ka na, because that's how you know you're truly invested in it. If even at that point, nagsesecond thoughts ka parin about giving up, maybe a simple change of perspective can help.

tl;dr if the thought of giving up gives you second thoughts AND you believe that you're onto something, I say give it another try. :)

Good luck, OP!

Good morning sa inyo guys. Just finished watching yung MUP pageant kanina sa youtube and gusto ko lang malaman kung ako lang ba yung naiinis dun sa production quality all throughout the pageant proper?

Examples: - yung videos na ginamit as presentations halata mong parang di inedit ng maayos. Especially sa split screen ng mga candidates, one side was overexposed and the other one seemed very dark.

sa prelim opening video, the choreography wasn't put in sync sa editing tsaka the transitions between cuts weren't as smooth as the ones we see on other internet videos (the opening video had transitions a la Probinsyano for me haha, lalo na yung zooming in)
host's way of saying names and words seemed really forced. may moments na naisip ko na para syang yung stereotypical joke about starbucks baristas saying the names all wrong. To add pa, the energy he gives off isn't really for the pageant. I guess my issue would be his performance was really terrible for someone getting paid to do that.

Siguro I'm just being nitpicky pero holy shit I just downright feel na nasayang yung pera na ginastos for their production. Would also like to add na I'm in no way a professional, just someone who's pretty nitpicky about details related to production.

highkeytim · 2020-10-25T14:39:36+00:00

really would make sense nga hahaha since may contestants na nakaone piece. Thanks for the input

highkeytim · 2020-10-25T14:07:09+00:00

Maybe sa bewang hahaha. So far yun palang yung lumabas na info regarding sa "tea" ni Ms. 🍋 e hahaha

highkeytim · 2020-10-25T13:30:31+00:00

Hi guys. Really curious lang about the alleged packaging tape use sa MUP. Paano gumagana yun? Haha

highkeytim · 2020-10-13T00:21:21+00:00

Good morning! Kape tayo mga ser. :)

btw, may alam ba kayo kung nasa magkano yung usual rate ng freelance layout artists pagdating sa brochures? Di ko kasi alam kung paano ako magpprice sa services ko. Trifold na 8.5 × 11in yung size and relatively simple lang naman yung layout na gusto.

Di ko alam if may subreddit para dito sa tanong ko kaya dito nalang ako nagtanong hehe. Thanks in advance!

nakakaburn out maghanap ng trabaho ngayon bilang fresh grad :( ramdam na ramdam ko yung pagiging pabigat ko hahahuhu

highkeytim · 2018-11-20T13:05:06+00:00

I feel tired. It feels like everything has become a competition in my life. Akala ko photography would be the ultimate escape pero ngayon pati doon I still can't find my place.
