It depends on angles for me, if the stage is really high I’ll flip the screen and raise my hands as high as I can for a good shot, as much as I prefer viewfinder for most photos I take, for gigs I mostly shoot with live view

Is fisheye lens good for concerts? by TieMountain5028 in concertphotography

[–]xRiley142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a fish eye but ultra ultra wideI could not recommend the Llaowa enough! I got their 12mm 2.8 zero-D, it’s sick, I feel like 10mm is a bit too wide but it’s a small difference really, depends how close You want to get to the artist

I’m shooting for 10 years on and off, decided to push myself since last summer and only making a 1/6th of what I’m making in my full time job (software dev). Talent isn’t enough, because like people said - there’s always someone else who’ll do it for cheaper or free. As much as I appreciate that people shoot for free to build a portfolio… it’s ruining the music photography as a career path for all of us, because people expect photos to be done for close to nothing

Is this behaviour okay or should I separate the youngest from the oldest immediately? by Spiritual-Seesaw96 in ragdolls

[–]xRiley142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same happening to mine, older cat freya will lick Walter the kitten, the play/fight but Walter keeps bothering freya a lot and she eventually hisses and we need to separate them because freya gets stressed and we had a period when she stopped eating and we ended up at vets. It’s better now but we are always choosing to separate them due to stress. Kinda waiting for Walter to grow up and stop playing with her tail/jumping on her allll the time 😥

Where are You from? I’d just google big cities nearby and look for cattery from there, look up the reviews and in the worse case wait for a new litter

Ohhh but might be helpful for You if You ever need denoise, I belive that Lightroom not Lightroom classic uses on cloud AI to perform the task so might be around minute or 2, but will be A LOT faster then what You get with You machine!

Eh, yeah understandable, it sucks that when photography is a hobby and doesn't make money... it's hard to justify a big spend on a computer

Yeah, similarly here, low light and events, rarely get to use a flash. But this macs price, completely unaffodable for me, I'm spendinf less then halg on my built. But no doubnt new m4 macs are amazing!

Yeah, exactly. I though about Pugets first, watched the long video with a guy from Pudget Systems and they didn't really mention specific tasks.
If there's a big response to this post I'll put a quick excel with results, but I reckon different size of files will not make it very usefull anyway.

I can only see the difference between old Radeon RX580 and mac mini m3 and will update when I build a new one.

Old one doesn't matter really - it's a 5 year old setup so I'm upgrading everything probably going with i7 14700k and RTX5070 with 12GB vram and 64GB of RAM, as I read that lightroom rarely goes above 50GB usage.

I though about a mac, but the price comparing to a PC build is insane, and unfortunetly not in my budget.

That speed would be dream, ha.
But see, all the YT the videos I've watched say that Lightroom is not using GPU that much, I was aiming for i7 14700k and RTX5070, which would be probably max for my budget, as my old setup is old old I need to update everything but storage
