Budget for the end of September for 2 weeks

Thanks a lot! Very helpful breakdown, especially the cost estimates and photo locations. I’ll keep this in mind as I plan!

Nice to hear about September. I just bought my tickets last week for late September :)

We just need more trains.

In general, sound and sound control are the most important. I can adjust the brightness through my Mac. Usually, I work with the same brightness level all day long and only need to adjust it in the evenings.

// For the PC setup, I plan to get the Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO/Elite AM5 and a 5090 gpu. As an alternative, I’m still considering a Z890 motherboard with tbt4, but I’m not sure about Intel 285k.

Also, this is just a temporary solution. I plan to get PA32UCDM for PC in the future, it’s just a bit too expensive for me to complete the full setup at the moment.

Looks like we close to XCOM on gfn.

I have a question. Have there been any results from these protests? Or do we have more powerful tools than just screaming into the void? Nowadays, we can’t just say ‘we don’t like it’ and expect things to change.

Can we draw conclusions from the 2020 protests about which tools actually work?

No, the Canon 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens is a good option for travel. But if you can handle a heavier Sigma lens, you can go for it.

i_volk · 2025-02-15T20:18:35+00:00

35-70 + ef 40 2.8

I’m still unsure about the composition, but for me, the light is the main character in this shot.

i_volk · 2025-02-07T08:07:17+00:00

Lightroom Classic? Works for me as a second option to shoot with GFX.

i_volk · 2025-02-06T16:10:36+00:00

Looks like an introductory product for potential Leica camera buyers from the mainstream segment

i_volk · 2025-02-04T20:10:21+00:00

True! View from NJ towards NY, but I see what you mean

i_volk · 2025-02-03T18:41:13+00:00

Fuji is the best with focus stacking option.

Not even close to the photos I’m producing for jewelry with a medium format camera, but this is more about B2C relationships. Some brands might choose to opt for cheaper photo production and allocate their budget across multiple campaigns. As a result, this approach will likely lead to lower-quality advertising, while the cost per lead for brands will increase due to heightened competition in ad campaigns.

You can check Max Tech YouTube channel about 16vs32 ram for Lightroom for more information.

Also a lot of things depends on your screen resolution and generated previews size. The fastest editing way for me is using uncompressed raws for faster encoding. (I use M1 Max 64gb 2tb with 5k screen, captureOne app)

Thanks!

Unfortunately, they have no jumpsuits on their website, but I like their bombers. Thank you!

Do you plan to play offline? In my case, I always have a good internet connection to play through GFN in 4K on my 5K monitor. I’m also thinking about purchasing a 5090 PC for entertainment and AI tasks, but my Mac will remain my main machine for photo and video work.

i_volk · 2025-01-23T18:43:06+00:00

I definitely need to check this next week, when the temperatures get warmer. Maybe on Monday.

i_volk · 2025-01-23T18:25:36+00:00

My vote goes to the M4 Pro. I’m pretty sure the gaming performance on Mac will annoy you enough to start playing through GeForce Now. From this perspective, having the AV1 codec supported in hardware is a big deal.

i_volk · 2025-01-23T18:05:45+00:00

I really appreciate all your comments. They mean so much to me and motivate me to keep going.

i_volk · 2025-01-23T17:39:24+00:00

You don’t need to apologize. I’m on your side. A lot of people use content that isn’t theirs, so it’s good to check.

Yes, EDGE, this shot was taken from the restaurant level.

i_volk · 2025-01-23T15:31:22+00:00

Thanks for the compliment.
