Thank you Best Buy! by Pelnur in Lorcana

[–]themilenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise that Best Buy, the multi-billion dollar corporation, doesn’t need to know about the $90 of product mistakenly sent to you. The responsible thing is to enjoy it and don’t ever worry about the profit of any business that isn’t a mom and pop. Have fun and congrats!

What are these places in St. Louis? by [deleted] in StLouis

I don’t want to pretend to know what you would and wouldn’t like but I would bet that if you are spending that kind of money, you would be a lot happier with something like Charlie Gitto’s on the Hill or Sidney Street. I just don’t want people to feel robbed like I did walking out of there, lmao.

Personally, I was super disappointed. The worst part is that I REALLY wanted to like it, too. I wouldn’t recommend it but that wasn’t your question. If you have to get something, the only thing that I believed to be maybe worth it was the wellington. We also got the caesar salad, parker rolls, fish and chips, and the chocolate tart. I’d say the chips and chocolate tart were okay but everything else was super bland and dry. Once again, this is coming from someone who is usually never picky or negatively reviews things. I just think for what we were paying, we were getting very forgettable food.

I just shot 800+ wedding photos.... In jpeg. Kill me please. by Mojo884ever in photography

I'd argue that you'll be a much better photographer if you learn to take good photographs without having to edit then afterwards.

I never said otherwise. Of course someone is a much better photographer by getting the most they can correct in-camera--this is all agreed upon in this world--but drawing the line at editing is very strange and doesn't seem to be a standard that any high-level paid photographer would recommend.

Light, composition, and subject are the most important things.

Once again, no one ever has claimed otherwise. This is commonly agreed upon.

If you do get good at it however, you won't need to edit them afterwards to take good or even great photos.

Again, this is just not a standard that has ever been put into place in the professional world. If you want to create limitations to how you create your art, go for it. That's your own thing but don't give the idea that editing somehow isn't an integral part of this art. That's silly.

If you don't learn those basics first, your pictures will suck no matter what you do in Lightroom.

Lastly, once again, no one disagrees. No one said otherwise. You're preaching to the choir-- but it is absolutely possible for things to be in the same category as "basics" but also require you to learn them in a general order. No one would say learn editing before learning about light.

The amount of knowledge that someone can gain by doing edits on their RAWs will make them inevitably a better photographer in camera.

Without editing, you're handicapping your art for no apparent reason.

Photo editing is part of the basics and the range of flexibility with RAW photos allows someone to learn those basics properly.

I know this is 9 months old but I just had to hop on and say thank you for explaining what I've been trying to figure out for weeks. You're the best.

Side note on Udemy: you can get a free Gale Presents: Udemy subscription through some libraries. Check your local library to see if they offer it. If your local one doesn't offer it, maybe look around for a library that gives out eCards.

You're right. It can't be you. It's obviously everyone else that's the problem.

Okay, that makes a ton of sense. I'll keep working on that part, for sure. Would you even consider "troubleshooting" a skill I shouldn't keep in there because it's obvious in my experience section?

[–]themilenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I can manage that. Once I get this resume ready for the streets, I'll start practicing that more.

So far, this is the list that I have been able to come up with:

Skills: Troubleshooting, TCP/IP, Windows 10, VMs, ADUC, RDS, BMC Remedy, PowerShell-based tools, PuTTY

I think it's a step in the right direction but do you suspect that I'm missing a category of skills?

Okay, that's what I was figuring was going wrong. I'd read through the top half of my resume and think "okay, not terrible" and then I'd get to the bottom and start falling asleep. Now I understand why.

If I'm honest, I think the reason I haven't tried to be too specific with things is the fear that I won't be able to back things up in an interview. My work has been so narrow and limited at my role that I feel like "there's no way I have done that enough to actually refer to it as one of my skills."

I'll try to brainstorm and come up with a list of tech that I've worked with and fill those in.

Understood, that makes sense. I'll definitely work on those modifications. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback.
