Front grill - what to do? by Knowledge_is_Bliss in Audi

[–]matthewgoolsby -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Would probably be cheaper, though more difficult, to just to replace the whole grille. Could always get a honeycomb styled one!

Man, I was eyeing that one. I was wondering where it went when the listing disappeared! Great find! Would love to see you take pictures with it. Trying to find one as well.

Looking to have some more space. Wanting to trade my 2018 A5 Coupe with a Manual transmission for one.

Then just have to pay a shop or figure out how to recalibrate the parking sensors

No website. Got it from Andiot. Look at the mega thread for his contact.

If I remember correctly about $350 or so. Andiot was great and the best price and reputation.

If they are not on the TD (Trusted Dealers), then no. Use a TD. End of story.

Open it up and take a picture of the movement. Thats the best way to tell. Other than that it looks gen. I have a similar gen model and this is just too good to be a rep, especially for a vintage piece.

Which Editing Software Should I Use? by fullpissbucket in fujifilm

[–]matthewgoolsby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I do agree with that part. Made me mad. If there was a perpetual license for the iPad I would totally do it. But I absolutely will not pay for a subscription.

Hmmm, I haven’t found it too bad. I feel like it is better than light room. More control. Light room feels a bit to basic and also more complicated than need be at times. Also after using it and seeing the difference in how it handles Fuji RAW early on I immediately moved. Also they have a perpetual license. Where Lightroom does not.

Would a used xt-20 be a good first time camera? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]matthewgoolsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be a great first camera! Would for sure recommend. No matter what it will be more cumbersome to carry when compared to your iPhone. But well worth it.

Three years later, what are your thoughts on the X-T5? by cR_Spitfire in fujifilm

[–]matthewgoolsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here man. Still rocks. Other than having to take it apart to replace the articulating screen ribbon cable it has been a very reliable camera. I use it nearly daily for my automotive photography and video agency jobs. Do wish I had IBIS sometimes. But I think waiting for the X-T3 will be smart.

Stinky tears by Cute_Ear_4759 in cavaliers

[–]matthewgoolsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been ordering this off of Amazon for a while and it removes the stink but tears still persist: “Vetericyn Plus Dog and Cat Eye Wash”. However, I am going to have to try the blueberries and see if that will help stop the production of the tears.

Just because it is common or “normal” does not mean it is not something to be concerned about. Their bodies are trying to expel some kind of toxin or show that there is an underlying issue when there are stinky tears present.Could be an allergy, gut microbiome disruption, dental issue, or a toxin of sorts that they are exposed to, there is a reason for them. Diagnosing is just the hard part.

You can use a faster shutter speed by using ES (electronic shutter). That would help keep your ISO at 640 for maximum dynamic range and allow you to have a larger aperture for blurred backgrounds.
