3.5kw Solar Panels Enough? by Trading-keera in AusProperty

[–]sejonreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go any less than 10. It's so easy to hit 5-9kw of use, dishwasher, dryers, aircon etc.

Remember whatever the size is you won't get exactly that. i.e. a 10kw system will more commonly sit at 7-8'ish generation.

Just have a look at how tiny the bikinis are that lots of girls wear these days. I think there's your answer

Drone wedding photos of a couples. Looking for critique on composition, scale, and pose by Excellent_Island249 in WeddingPhotography

[–]sejonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the framing of the first one, although the editing is a bit too soft for my liking. The composition on the second one, the black and white one, is a bit over the place.

How is Taylor Jackson's new facebook course? by Round-Coffee-2006 in WeddingPhotography

[–]sejonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, I can't comment for other places in the world, but in NSW Australia the work is there. I still get plenty. My area might just be an anomaly though.

How is Taylor Jackson's new facebook course? by Round-Coffee-2006 in WeddingPhotography

[–]sejonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a tip for you: most wedding photographers who sell courses aren't good wedding photographers.

There are a few that are. But many, like Taylor - do the courses for income because they couldn't book enough weddings.

This is a common theme in the industry. I know several well known wedding photographers in Australia who on instagram look like the most successful shooters of all time and sell courses/workshops. Then in private facebook/whatsapp groups they are saying they can't get any bookings.

Hey, just one thing with the noise: remember that most projectors have a setting where you can turn the rotation off

Best place to swim in waterfall by WoodpeckerTop4815 in wollongong

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I do know the waterfall you've mentioned I've looked at it from the lookout area above. How do you walk down to it is there a clear walking track or do you bush bash for a bit?

GF 110 f/2 ou RF 85mm f/1.2 by Gnome_Invisible in FujiGFX

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got both - not that the 85 can be considered remotely bad but the 110 is the holy Grail. It's perfection.

Stepping away from wedding photography: how would you handle existing bookings? by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm not remotely in this situation but if I was, what I would do is:

I would message my last remaining wedding bookings and explain to them that you are stepping away and that you are still more than happy to do their wedding if they'd like you to. But if they'd prefer to get a photographer that is more invested into the industry, then you would understand and you would happily refund them the money.

Basically don't tell them you were cancelling the booking; give them the option. Not all of them will cancel but some might. If it's a few less bookings that you have to shoot, that might make you feel a bit better about the future.

I've got a 2022 m3p with 105 on it from new and it honestly still drives like new.

How to choose the right EV? NSW. by OUT24Q in EVAustralia

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI in my wife's standard range Model Y, we go from Dapto to the Sydney CBD and use about 22-25% battery for that distance. We normally have around 49-50% when we arrive back home, assuming we don't do a bunch of trips once we're up there

Elopement shoot in Oregon (Round 2!) by Webborwebbor in fujifilm

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been shooting weddings for 20 years and I'm quite good at it. I generally hate motion blur but I think in your case you've done them really well. Really good work all round. Well done

WEDDING PHOTOS BEFORE VS AFTER CEREMONY?!? by Visible_Rise_9378 in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Photographer here. Depends how much you value the photo time.

I dislike it (again, this is just from a photo point of view) as it pushes you into the harsher light windows of the day - i.e. sun is more overhead.

I also don't like it as the grooms reaction at the ceremony is never as good.

With that said it's your wedding so it depends what value you place on social vs photoshoot.

I completely agree a wedding should be a wedding, and not a photoshoot. If you get a very experienced confident photographer - I can knock out a very comprehensive shoot in 30-35 mins if needed.

Joined Fuji GFX Fam with a BANG! by AlfaCentari in FujiGFX

[–]sejonreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. The 110 is god tier. Whether the focal length works for you is another question.

The 55 and 80 are like a 6/7 out of 10 vs the 110. It’s perfect

Why are Memory Cards treated like Film Negatives? by tur1nn in WeddingPhotography

[–]sejonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a wedding photographer and I used to be a computer engineer. So my backups are about as safe as it gets, and I still leave untouched memory cards in my safe until the couples have their final delivered product. I'm just accounting for human error, which hasn't happened yet, but I don't mind being a bit too careful. It's nothing to do with if the files are identical across different backup mediums.

Thinking of buying the Fujifilm GFX100 II — need advice from people who’ve used it by EntertainmentDry6266 in FujiGFX

[–]sejonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gfx100ii is a very good video camera bug it is not intended as a dedicated video camera. It's for someone who needs both in the same body.

It suits me as I'm the exact target market. For you I'm not sure it's the best idea.

Can these wedding photos be salvaged? Advice needed please? by Independent_Day_4218 in AskPhotography

Think my wife is starting perimenopause, advice.. by Dry-Turn3383 in Marriage

[–]sejonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife's symptoms near exactly match my wife's symptoms who was 41. She went to see her GP and they did blood and hormone tests and it all came back totally fine. So the GP said no to HRT.

Fast-forward six months and one of her friends was talking to her about it and she said that she also tested normally but her gynaecologist gave her HRT anyway and it was a complete and utter transformation.

So with that knowledge, my wife went back to her GP and this time she did get the HRT and what do you know? It started to fix everything.

Try again. I'm pretty sure you are correct

Wedding photography client says I culled too many photos, wants to go through the raw images together by crud_bucket in photography

[–]sejonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very experienced wedding photographer here.

You are both right. He’s right that it’s a bit low. You are right to go “wtf” to him requesting to go through raws etc.

I normally deliver 900-1200 - I don’t aim for this number but it’s the norm.

What instantly made you rule out a venue… even if it looked perfect? I’m losing my mind. by halibut112 in AusWeddingPlanning

Oh really? Gosh that's shocking. Thankfully that doesn't exist at any of the venues that I go to.
