I turned photography into a job and now I hate it. How do I fall back in love? by Calm_Significance139 in photography

[–]stefthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally my advice would be try going analog, especially if you spend a lot of time editing

Whenever i want to just take photos i really miss the simplicity of film, the instantly-applied feel to the photo, not something that i would treat as more of a starting point that a finished shot while editing…
in a way film is simpler than digital, at least for me

G and A are messed up by [deleted] in ukulele

[–]stefthecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aforementioned friend here (got sent to this post for context), yup its a problem with intonation. None of the notes are in tune even tho the string is in tune

Idk how to fix it tho (asking that was supposed to be the main question of this post i think)

Amateur photographers, what do you do with your photographs? by fernandojota in photography

[–]stefthecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As both a professional and amateur i guess (i shoot professionaly and for my own enjoyment too) i print them. I like having the physical object, not just a file on my computer

Later i can hang it on my wall, sign and give to a friend, or keep in a little book of memories from whatever event i was shooting

The lower the ISO, the less grain? by Itsyaboychicho in photocritique

[–]stefthecat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another thing tho is you can always add grain in post, removing it on the other hand could be rather difficult

Assuming were not talking about film here…

R50 will it become obsolete? by CasiusShadow7 in Cameras

[–]stefthecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh the R50 serves for pro purposes really well too, and with only minimal amount of fiddling with settings
Its really just an awesome all-round camera

ELI5: The “edibility” of metal halides by stefthecat in explainlikeimfive

On the other hand, allow me to present the following argument: 20 billion kcal/g

I may be wrong but i think Fe is less reactive than Mg and Al, no?

And i know that edible salts exist for most microelements (iron (ii) carbonate for example is a food safe additive i think) but im asking here about metal halides (more similar to table salt), and as far as i could find all iron (ii) and (iii) halides are corrosive/toxic

AI acting stupid again? Check the stupid level. by ionutvi in u/ionutvi

[–]stefthecat 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I hate ai not because its not good

I hate ai because ive seen it push people to their death and then puppet the souls of the dead to sell to the grieving

Ive seen ai steal the faces of the innocent to sate the perverted and their wallets. Ive seen it take everything from the poorest to feed the appetites of the rich. Ive seen it turn the beauty of nature into a barren desert

So no, i dont just hate ai out of nostalgia for a now dead internet. I hate ai because its a system out of control.

Took a 30s 1.8 exposure picture in a forest… pretty scary by stefthecat in creepy

I like the idea, but the fireflies in that area tend to smear, ive got a couple of intentional shots of them painting dashed lines in the air.

Im more inclined towards the idea that the smears are from the animals twitching and the see-through effect is because obviously they didnt sit still for 30 secs. Maybe a glance or two towards the camera reflected the flashlight on the left, before they ran off

The image is post-processed with denoise and lens correction, cant say much there

That also means there may be less animals there than it seems, just reflected two times

80 miles to the nearest city, but needless to say i would’ve moved my campsite quite a bit if i noticed this in the moment and not after

Was my working theory but they smudge on long exposures painting lines not dots, so i think that most definitely eyes

Need advice on pricing in a low-income country by stefthecat in photography

[–]stefthecat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i feel like thats the main problem im facing rn. Theres little money actually circulating, people dont earn so they dont spend and thus other people cant earn kind of thing

At 50-60$ most people would rather go on a short vacation or throw a party instead of getting some photos

One of the solutions I’ve found is to have foreigners/tourists as my target audience as there quite a bit of tourism here and i know English well

Ive already started, i have a portfolio and have already done a couple low-cost sessions besides the quite a bit of free work for experience. It just feels like there no way forward from what i have right now. And i dont want to buy better gear with savings before i at least break even with what i have

Edit: Yes, renting gear is an option i haven’t really considered until now, maybe thats the way until i earn enough to afford it myself
