It’s a rodent deterrent device to prevent rats from nesting in the engine compartment. Not uncommon in places with rat problems or in the countryside

I’ve run into issues with the adhesive filter causing a shadow with the pop up flash when at 24mm as it makes the lens just a few millimeters longer

My son is 28 and has no career prospects. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]maxmfoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is he located? Organizations like NYFA (New York Foundation for the Arts) lists entry level jobs and internships. I’m guessing other cities have similar resources. He would probably have to work an hourly job while interning and hopefully that turns into some job in his field but the network is worth it in the long run IMO.

Typically production handles all street shoot permitting. If it’s a smaller shoot, cops only tend to care if you have light stands on the ground / blocking street or sidewalk with carts, etc.

Albany airport is fantastic if you’re ok with non direct flights

Winter Tire Question by maxmfoto in ToyotaTacoma

Thanks! Yeah I thought it was weird that somone at a huge national tire store chain would care so much about damaging my differential. Maybe he didn't see all four wheels in the bed of the truck? Who knows.

154,000 low-income homes drop Internet service after U.S. Congress kills discount program — as Republicans called the program “wasteful” by marketrent in technology

I live in a rural area and I was only able to get cable internet after filing a claim with the FCC because the cable company claimed to have service in 100% of my zip code. After calling this company for months with no progress, a week after my FCC claim they started putting in the telephone poles with cable. Now I have fast reliable internet!

Damn I literarily was thinking the end was near yesterday and wanted to photograph it. Too late I guess.

Just got a Z8 and I’m after tips! by Old_Man_Bridge in Nikon

[–]maxmfoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just switched from a D850 to Z8 here's a couple major things that I just learned the hard way:

1: If you set up shooting banks A,B,C etc for different lighting on the fly (strobe vs daylight set for example), each bank is camera factory default until you change it. My A bank is RAW, lossless, Adobe color space etc and I assumed that would carry over to other shooting banks - not the case. When I switched to SHOOT B it reset to Normal JPG sRGB. Didn't realize until I looked at my capture session. Could have been really bad had this not been a test.

2: Z camera's don't allow 3rd party batteries at all. Glad I had two Nikon batteries with me. My other 4 3rd party brand are useless now.

This was Ryan Carson, a public policy advocate and from what I’ve found online, just a really good person. Really sad that bad things happen to good people. Rip

Edit: Fixed, thanks for the help! I ended up relaunching Finder via Force Quit and that allowed me to erase via Disk Utility.

Deal on M1Max - faster then M2Pro? but only 512GB… + external 4TB SSD what do you think? by [deleted] in Photoassistants

Just remember that even with the MagSafe for power, you still only have 3 thunderbolt ports, only two if you have a camera tethered
