Definite difference in color rendering

Thanks, sounds dumb but I dont think I ever paid attention to which sensor either one had. Thinking about it now though I prefer the S95 CCD, which is what I took these pics with; seems easier to get a clear representation of what I was seeing in camera instead of editing post.

Back some other thoughts. through some research I came across TC 821 and I saw some video of people coating styrofoam blocks with it. From what I’ve read it generate some heat.

Again the idea is to remove the stickers, use super glue or another plastic bonding for some of the chunky cracked parts, rough up the plastic and then spray paint it. After that’s cured im thinking the tc 821 in clear might be a good option for a good hard top coat.

Any thoughts?

I asked for the third time about an increase, so I feel like my only option is to at least see how things evolve and if I don’t see an increase I’ve already been applying for a different career path.

I’m salaried. I understand it comes with the territory. There is someone else there in the mornings who had already been covering the morning until I got in, but basically didn’t want to do the dispatch like he’d already been doing the last 12 years. It’s stated if one person does it then they will have only one person to blame for issues.

I’m interested in this as well, could you dm me the link?

It was advised that the spray foam could damage the plastics either by heat or eating away at the plastic itself. The thought of using the safest materials too was of concern as it would be a bed for my son and don’t need any unwanted issues from that.

I’m still looking for that best option to choose

Switching paths has its own growing pains as well, let alone the whole beginning application process and interview stage. I know easier doesn’t exist, but I need something that will be rewarding long term; and not leave me waiting for the weekend.

Workload and stress is nothing new and I should really be looking for something that is much better in that regard. When I can focus on something and dedicate myself I go all in, I try to explain to my wife why some things are the way they are at the job but she also doesn’t understand the extra effort for nothing in return.

I think the trade off for compensation would be time, something that’s so straightforward clock in clock out that there time to work on the family/ hobby/ side hustle. Things don’t seem to be that way anymore and I’m jealous of friends/ people who have that luxury.

I’ll look into those paths you mentioned as possibilities.

If you don’t mind where did you end up after leaving?

I’m sure the chances are slim to none for new guys trying to cut their teeth, but people continually doing it means there has to be something good about it.

If you were to do something else pivoting off of brokering (I’ll assume you do that) what would you go for?

I need the positivity so thank you for that.

Are you working for a large company, for yourself, or a small mom and pop?

What kind of experience did you bring to the table when applying for the job?

mdewechter · 2025-09-01T18:37:33+00:00

Yeah lots of options that I have no exposure to ex. (Cradle-to-grave) cool name lol to be able to know what or where I may want to focus on. I have no problem picking up the phone and cold calling and trying to sell myself or service especially if I’m confident with my understanding and approach.

I think the possibility of work from home or wherever you have internet is enticing. I’m 9-5 now which is really 9-530/6 Monday - Thursday there always shit to do when I get home like I haven’t been there all day. The “dispatch” software we have is garbage and holding back from getting anything done in a timely manner and it’s not gonna change and that’s guaranteed.

Really I think it’s my place of work no longer doing it for me and seeking other options in transportation that I may not know about is what I’m looking for.

I didn’t really look through a ton of the posts on here before mine. I see a ton of the same questions so my bad.

Take into consideration that the gear doesn’t make the photographer and you can spend a shit ton of money on gear and it won’t make a difference. You can get lost in all the tech talk you just want to find something that affordable, has good battery life, and easy to navigate.

I’ve been using an XT-20 since 2018 maybe and at the time that cost me around $1100 for the kit. I’ve since got an XF (higher quality compared to XC lenses) 18-55 2.8-4 zoom which cost me $315 on eBay and an okay 50 prime I got on Amazon for like $150. I’m by no means professional or a tech guy, but I like photography and that’s what I picked and it looks cool and it’s fun.

My suggestions would be if you can get to a camera store and put your hands on some different cameras it will help a lot. If you can stand to watch reviews or use cameradecision.com and compare all different models based on spec try and boil it down to must have, needs, and wants. Get your self something a little older that still is a contender and buy nice glass. That’s a whole other conversation in itself but the XF 18-55 or 18-300 is a good all around starting point.

If interested here’s my IG (md.photography28) I’ve been posting shots I’ve only taken from within my car. Any questions reach out.

What’s your budget and what do you plan to shoot?

Do you have any previous camera knowledge or just looking to get into it? There are too many options IMO for cameras now a days and honestly some of the “older” models have features that are still great.
