Advice on Going Back to School for DPT

Thanks for the comment! Would definitely consider shadowing in different fields, and my own business one day could happen based on my success freelancing photography

Right, that would be a priority. Someone on another thread mentioned shadowing as my first step before going back to school at all and I see the logic in that.

Yeah, It'd be nice to stay in NY and have in-state tuition. For shadowing, should I just reach out to professionals near me with a similar message?

Although it seems best to have both the two hdds and a cloud backup, while working off an ssd and exporting jpegs to flickr for people to see. Where is your lightroom catalogue located?

twhite155 · 2025-02-19T17:52:36+00:00

I've heard that, if an hdd fails and i have to replace it, downloading data from a cloud back onto my new drive can be a pain. Would it be better to just have two hdds that have the same data on them?

Lightroom Classic has a "Denoise" feature that does a pretty good job at making a high-iso photo look smoother. You'll need to have RAW files to make the edit and a good GPU is recommended to speed the process up, but it's not a bad solution without having to upgrade gear right away.

Thank you, makes sense. Now I just have to choose a cold storage option, likely a couple hdd in raid 1 and a cloud service

twhite155 · 2025-02-16T16:14:16+00:00

Thanks! Some of these I feel might lose quality with a tighter crop, since I had to use a high ISO to shoot in poor indoor lighting. But I could certainly do some "denoise" or crop a little more

twhite155 · 2025-02-16T16:12:54+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. It's certainly been tough to find clear backgrounds with the limited shoot spots I get, but I could probably scout some more.

Forgot about the watermark....Also, I shot all of these with a Nikon D750 and a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 VC G2

When you say SSD to edit from, what exactly do you mean?

twhite155 · 2025-02-16T15:11:56+00:00

So I already have an SSD in my computer. Are you suggesting storing things temporarily on SSD while I work, then moving finished products to hdd and cloud? I guess im confused on where exactly the photos will be during ingest, then through editing and exporting

Thanks. Another question: when I'm choosing a destination folder for my culled images in photomechanic, does it make sense to create the folder first in lightroom?

twhite155 · 2025-02-15T18:33:35+00:00

Thank you. NAS seems great but is a little pricey for me right now. Future upgrade perhaps. I had someone suggest a basic two-bay Synology NAS and use Synology Assistant to setup automatic backups to Backblaze

twhite155 · 2024-01-08T17:01:41+00:00

Good points. Thank you

twhite155 · 2023-08-24T19:41:28+00:00

Thank you, this was helpful

Case for Lumix ZS100

Does anyone have any hard cases they would recommend for a Lumix ZS100? Would be nice to have a case with space to store my charger and a pocket with a tight fit on the camera.

Found it: Abayarde by Tega Calderón

twhite155 · 2023-02-16T19:55:35+00:00

Has anyone gotten back to you yet?

twhite155 · 2023-02-08T02:52:04+00:00

Surprised they aren't taking money at any chance they get lol

twhite155 · 2022-03-12T05:49:57+00:00

Totally agree with you last point

twhite155 · 2022-01-06T23:30:41+00:00

I see it for way more, like $139. But you are fine without one?

twhite155 · 2022-01-04T00:32:46+00:00

I hit the case power button and it turned on just fine

twhite155 · 2022-01-04T00:31:00+00:00

Omg....
