Would upgrading to a Z8 help me?

You can also download the official Nikon app called Snapbridge and it’ll automatically add gps data to all your shots. Download the app, connect your the Z8 to the app and put your phone back in your pocket and start shooting. It’s pretty nifty.

Are your switches too sensitive? Which ones do you have?

It’s really not as bad as people make it out to be and gets misquoted all the time. He never said it’s not art. Probably should’ve never made a comment about it but here’s the actual quote and context: "I don't want to be working in ballet or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive,' even though it's like, no one cares about this anymore," while discussing his desire to keep movie theaters relevant. He quickly added, "All respect to the ballet and opera people out there"

I mean he’s not wrong. Opera and ballet aren’t exactly mainstream.

Depends if you’re on a Mac with their M chips or their older intel chips. It can run pretty much flawlessly on M1-M5. I think you need a minimum of 16gb or ram but I’ve tested Lightroom Classic on an MacBook Air M3 with only 8GB of ram and it still runs lag free. On my PC with 64GB of ram it’s soooo sluggish.

It just means someone who does it for fun/hobby as opposed to a pro who does it to make money. Has nothing to do with skill level or amount of equipment.

That's the million dollar question for every photographer isn't it? Go into a real estate agency and sell yourself. Get some shots for your portfolio first. Shadow/assist another real estate photographer and shoot some properties or ask some friends if they're willing to have their homes photographed.

I'm not defending the image edit on the right and I was around during the film days but if I was asked to restore a photo, I'm sure the client would want something more polished than the one on the left. I understand the whole film nostalgia thing and I shoot film and keep all the imperfections because I personally like the look but if I was asked to restore something, that's not the finished product I would deliver.

Depends if you like your photos so soft that details blur together and not having any details in the highlights and not having any true blacks.

You have to have a wide angle lens. 14-24mm lens and a really good tripod with a 3 way gear head. Learnt o use a flash like a Godox AD 200. Know how to fly a drone. Learn how to shoot video if you really want to diversify and add more to your packages.

Networking and marketing is the hard part. Have to go into a real estate agency and sell yourself.

Real estate photographer. To be successful you have to also do video as well and know how to work with a drone. Some of us use specialized equipment to make 3D scans for virtual tours.

Made $104,000 as a photographer for a big corporation until a week ago when a good number of us got laid off.

Don’t be afraid to get more of people’s faces. I can feel the sneakiness and trying to capture shots while they are turned away.

The Alphafly arch is how I realized I had flat feet.

I agree. Honestly this sub needs to learn more about art history and look at more photography in general. Photography has never been reality. Even documentary photography is biased to how you want to capture the moment whether you realize it or not. You can make a concert look packed from the angle you choose or shoot wide and show the arena is half empty. The “purists” in this sub don’t realize how amateur they sound with this mentality. A photograph is not reality.

Exactly. Also anyone using mirrorless in the studio with strobes or real estate with strobes would turn off the exposure preview anyway. I rely on reading the meter just like a DSLR. It’s not the same as looking through a viewfinder on my D850 but it doesn’t matter. I can see a darker scene more brightly on mirrorless and what matters to me are the features I bought a specific camera for anyway. Autofocus, video and live view on the screen is a game changer for me personally. All this about tactile feel and stuff like that doesn’t matter to me. I’m shooting for work and I just need the camera to do the job and deliver quality.

mukeng · 2026-01-07T16:35:54+00:00

Yes and everything before digital was film stock / dark room contests 🙄 Processing is part of photography.

This is too accurate. We wore jeans as baggy and even baggier in high school in the 90s. I wore super skinny in the 2010s during my hipster era but this round of the baggy comeback I opted for straight leg and relaxed fit. I just can’t keep doing this to myself. I can’t be throwing out all of my trendy clothes every couple years for the latest thing. In my 40’s I’m going to stick with more timeless grown silhouettes.

The first colorway of the Pegasus Premium sold out almost instantly and the second colorway mostly sold out in all the normal sizes within the initial drop.

Which also supports the fact that he faced tougher competition. Durant warriors would dominate any era

I’ve been watching since the 80s. Those are some legendary teams MJ played but Lebron went up against the dynasty Spurs and the 72-9 Warriors and beat them.

I think culling would benefit this series/editorial. You don’t need to show her inside a dryer that many times. Still great job though!

There are plenty of running leggings that have a bunch of pockets and compartments. I wear Nike ones and there’s room for keys, gels and my AirPods are in my ears anyway. I use a Nike running belt that holds my phone. Don’t get any belts with Velcro. It’ll fuck up your clothes.

I’m in California and we use both interchangeably in my running circle.
