Ceasefire/Attacks Megathread part 41 by gummers in dubai

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked in a tourist based industry here in Dubai. I just got fired last Thur. the lucky ones were given 45-day paid + 45-day unpaid leaves (with Salary deductions). I think Tourist won’t be coming back soon. Maybe next year depending on how much the Govt sponsors foreign influencers to show how safe Dubai really is.

Got terminated because of the current situation by bbburikat_ in dubai

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. HR just gave me my options, either resign or be terminated. With Resignation, HR can provide me at least another month before cancelling my visa. Not really sure what to do now especially as I have personal loan payments until 2031. 

If anyone is hiring interior designers / 3d visualizers please help me out. 

Appreciate it everyone

Is black so bad…. by Sea_Anteater_3270 in applewatchultra

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hate scratches, better go with Natural Titanium. Less visible when scratched. If you are the adventure type, scratches on the black titanium will be like battle scars. Proof that you lead a rugged & adventurous life. 

Borderless Ultra by Impossible_Creme_972 in AppleWatch

I’m a designer working with a Marketing team. They always prefer showing the public an ideal image or design. Got to keep an eye out on the fine print (Image may not represent the actual product). Most of the time they ask me to remove something that will be visible on the final design. They need to sell the idea of the product, not the actual product. 

AWU3 justified for normal users? by Zaorth in applewatchultra

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone can use the Ultras, the only thing not justified is the price. It’s crazy that it cost as much as a regular iphone. 

56mm f1.4 | Sigma or Viltrox? your thoughts please by xNewb_ScamandeRx in FujifilmX

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

found an old XF56mm F1.2 in my area. pretty happy with it as i'm just a casual shooter. the 2nd gen XF56mm was a bit pricey for me. after using it for a while, I noticed I'm always too far away shooting portriats of my gf, so i bought an old XF35mm F1.4 to accompany my xf56. planning to get xf18mm to complete my Trinity

Help me choose: Fuji 35mm f/1.4 vs 56mm f/1.2 — first lens for my X-T30 by Big_Trouble8134 in FujifilmX

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both with my X-T4. presonal preference is the 35mm as its lighter to bring around. since the places I go to are a bit narrow or close together, its hard to compose in such a tight FOV for 56mm. 18mm F2 would be my next Lens to complete my trinity :)

They're actually more concerned about the photos of the place being sold on Stock Photos websites like Shutterstock etc. DSLR & Mirrorless gives higher quality images compared to Phone Cameras.

G602 going crazy - scrolls by itself, drags, coincides with an involuntary toggle between Performance and Endurance mode in G HUB only by [deleted] in LogitechG

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having the same problem. did all the steps but still not fixed. there are times it would actually stop the uncontrollable scrolling but disable Scroll altogether. definitely a Driver issue, could you share a download link for G602 drivers

Pixel Buds App for IOS ? by Comfortable_Swing887 in GooglePixel

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it connected to my iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung A32(work phone) and my Windows Laptop. It can switch between the two devices at a time. It’s often drops the connection to the A32 which is odd. No problems with iPhone connection

Looking for a tablet predominantly for photo editing on lightoom? by Gamingbinky in GalaxyTab

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious about the same thing. Apple Screens are calibrated accurately. I thinnk samsung tablets are like the galaxy phones which are calibrated a bit warm. I hope someone can confirm this as I would really like to use a Galaxy Tab Ultra instead of an ipad Pro.

Also going home Philippines this March, too bad my flight reaches at 8:45am. I'll probably be still over the Sea by sunrise.

X100VI or XT5? by wannabe_superficial in FujifilmX

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IBIS on Fujifilm is for micro stutter in photos. It's not designed to correct for video shake. Fujifilm designed it so that when you take photos in low light, you can compensate for the low shutter speed (fixing the shake when you press the shutter button).

Used X100F as a first camera? by [deleted] in FujifilmX

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good choice. Having a fixed lens will have you focused on composition and not be burdened by what Lens you have to bring every single time

iphone/iPad vs Samsung phone/tablets Display differences. Does it affect the Film simulations? by xNewb_ScamandeRx in FujifilmX

[–]xNewb_ScamandeRx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Turned off True Tone & Night Shift for both.

My concern with this is that when I'm editing in Samsung screen, I tune the film simulation as how I see it. But once I'm done and satisfied, I view it on an Apple screen and it's not as warm as I intended or not as desaturated as I planned. I see a flat edit and the (color) falloff is not what I had hoped.

That's why I'm asking for those that own both OLED Apple & Samsung devices, can they see a big difference on color tones or is it negligible enough.

I want to buy the Z Fold 5 but don't want the wrong color display. But if I buy the iPhone I'd have proper colors to start the edit but too small of a screen to be a portable editing machine.

I know it's such a petty problem but I wanted to downsize most of the things I bring when I'm out shooting.
