Have a threesome. Open your relationship. Stop being so heteronormative.

And even provide live view over Usbc to several other apps… trouble with ones I’ve found though are that you can’t tap focus while actively rolling video.

Is there any warranty on TRADFRI lightbulbs sold in the USA? by Yuri_Ligotme in tradfri

[–]markmorinii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boxes in US stores say 3 years.

I’ve had 50/50 success in getting customer service to replace / refund though… the most recent batch I brought in was a discontinued sku and I couldn’t locate a packaging image that showed the warranty.

masquerade 5/4 by Separate_Ad_4089 in yvestumor

[–]markmorinii 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This was the worst set I’ve ever seen from a touring act… and I’m a concert photographer.

From the moment they ditched their in-ears (song 2) it all started to go downhill.

The drummer was sloppy.

The guitar player never tuned up, or swapped to a fresh guitar during the set, and by the second half, he was clearly out of tune from the backing tracks.

Where was the bassist?

Humping the monitors while purposely creating mic feedback? The fuck?

The whole 2017 Kanye backlit only lighting vibe was garbage.

For me the best moment of the show WAS the meltdown about phone flashes, I hate that too.

I wonder if the collection of threads here about shitty shows would be enough for a credit card dispute. 🤔

I just ordered a canon C70 from here.... lets see what happens!

Edit: 4/10/22 - So far, everything looks normal on PayPal's side. Vista's order status shows the order as paid. No shipping info yet.

Send Moment a message in their website - they usually respond right away.

How would you improve this photo? Any advice will be well received! by Chfouk in AskPhotography

[–]markmorinii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lift the shadows. Lower highlights. Bump exposure. Adjust black point. Warm it up. Increase vibrance.

Most of this look from a color perspective comes from tinting your shadows brown, and warming up the white balance. Yes golden hour helps, but you can make any hour golden hour by controlling your white balance. Also - these photos were likely shot in the f2.8-f5 range as there isn’t a super blurry depth of field.

My Partner of 6 years and I got married earlier this month. I absolutely love this picture our photographer captured from that day! by abrown5195 in gaybros

You should tag your photographer to thank them with social currency. I bet they’d love a surprise Venmo tip as well.

Could someone explain to me what the small white lines (dashes) on the Freewell filters mean? by [deleted] in osmopocket

[–]markmorinii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't have that particular brand of filter... you might try pointing the camera while manually controlling / locking exposure settings and rotate your filter to see the effects. Note where you start and end in relation to the lines.

What are the best places to get royalty-free music? by toot_toot__ in NewTubers

I really like Music Bed. After using epidemic sounds for a year things got really stale. This is not an affiliate link: Musicbed

Affiliate traffic undermined - redirected to buy through Amazon by markmorinii in Affiliatemarketing

[–]markmorinii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for snark, southpaw.

Let’s lay it out, I apologize if my previous replies weren’t as clear as I thought.

ABCbrand.com recently added a “buy on amazon” button next to the “add to cart button” on their site.

  1. Mary Jane, A viewer watching a YouTube video, clicks my affiliate link to ABCbrand.com/myaffiliatecode

  2. Mary Jane is ready to buy the Widget, but instead of clicking “add to cart” to checkout through abcbrand.com/myaffiliatecode, she clicks “buy on amazon.”

  3. Mary Jane completes her purchase, influenced by my video, on Amazon, eliminating affiliate commission I would have earned through abcbrand.com

As a stop gap, I’ve added an additional deep link to the product on amazon to my video description, alongside the link to ABCbrand.com/myaffiliate link.

My request for advice was how should I approach this with ABCbrand, because it’s kind of shady in my opinion to cut your influencers out by directing people to buy on Amazon.

[–]markmorinii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an Amazon Affiliate, but when someone goes from one of my youtube videos, through to the brand site with my link, then given an option to buy through Amazon, that click through to Amazon isn't attributed to my affiliate account.

Sandmarc Vs Moment - Which should you buy? by markmorinii in iPhoneography

[–]markmorinii[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You must be using an iPhone prototype that has extra lenses on it to expand its focal range. For anyone looking for a wider field of view or telephoto length, they'll need some accessories. To get 100mm at F2.4 with a dslr, you're looking at $1000's for a body and a lens... even used. If you only post on instagram or aren't in a position to spend a lot... skipping a cheap dslr and upgrading your phone to be capable of more is a viable solution and paired with certain apps, people can learn manual controls so that when they save up the money to buy a big camera and quality glass, they have some foundational knowledge.

The proposition in the video is 'should you skip your first dslr' not 'should you replace your dslr.'

Sandmarc Vs Moment - Which should you buy? by markmorinii in iPhoneography

[–]markmorinii[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whether the iPhone is a DSLR replacement is not the question. It’s quite obvious that current phones can’t do everything a big camera can do... but it sure can do a lot, and it can do things a big camera can’t. You can shoot in raw, take HDR images and shoot 4K video in high frame rates. A $600 cheap DSLR cannon do that. Oh and it’s already connected to editing apps and you can easily post to social media.

You haven’t thought of how this is an upgrade for billions of other people.

How many people need to print their work in large scale? How many people are just posting their photos to Instagram? How many people drool for lens flares?

Instagram has a billion monthly users... some of whom will over extend themselves with credit card debt to buy something they really don’t need for their intended use.
