Syrian Lannister posted:Looking for a critique on these, and what I can do to improve. Soulex really knocked it out of the park with that mini master course. Do everything Soulex said. All I might be able to add is, Use AI Servo for AF (back button focus may affect this, I should switch and learn) Don't shoot with your aperture all the way wide open or all the way stopped down, most lenses will give up some sharpness at the extremes.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Why anyone stays in florida, except the olds, is beyond me. In order to move I need to get licensed in another state. The only way that’s going to happen is if I find a job that’s willing to pay for it, move me out there, and let me work on stuff I can touch until I get licensed. I don’t think this potential job exists anywhere for me.

Oof I just got the repair quote back from Olympus for my wide angle lens that was making a rattling sound and having weird issues with the zoom ring. $423. Apparently a small screw came completely loose inside the lens and that's what was making the sound. Beats buying a new lens though.

(Assuming you don't gouge a lens element or something)

I'm sure repairing a lens in the living room is just as good as the clean rooms at Olympus. You should probably smoke a cigarette while cleaning it on a tv dinner tray table.

Yeah it's not at all something I'd be comfortable with doing on my own. Doing Dremel hack jobs on gun parts is one thing, but this is on a whole other level. I got the lens used for $850 about a year and a half ago originally, so at this point the repair cost puts my total at the new price of the lens. On the plus side, that cost is spread out rather than all at once.

Parents and technology is why I love apple. I got my parents almost completely into apple (moms next laptop will be apple) because when there’s problems with her phone i direct her to the Apple store. Now she doesn’t even ask me, if she has issues she just goes.

Apple is expensive garbage snake oil but if it gets your folks off your back to fix their busted computer that they click all the banner ads on, it's worth it.

I listened to people saying this and bought one of the nicest, most well-reviewed Windows laptops on the market at the time (XPS 15) and it was a piece of garbage compared to my old MacBook Pro. I’d rather run Windows full time on a MacBook than buy one of those turds again. Coil whine, Killer Wi-Fi adapters, bluescreening integrated graphics drivers, and lovely trackpads shouldn’t be a thing anymore. The 4K screen looked nice but had horrific ghosting. Long story short, 16:10 or bust. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Apr 17, 2019 |

I have a super fancy expensive xps13 and it's the nicest laptop I've ever owned MacBook included. 4k screen, 32 gigs ram, 1tb ssd, aluminum body. Greatest electronic I've ever owned. Also a comparable Mac would have been like 3200 instead of the 2k I spent on this.

One of those should take care of it." After a couple years of that, my mom solves most of her own problems and the average age of electronics in her house is probably close to a decade newer than mine...and she's picking out good poo poo and paying good prices. It's all in how you present the information, know your audience, etc.

Apple products are like the Jitterbugs of computers for the olds.

There seems to be two different types of people in social media in my industry. The first are people that list their employer and a very generic description of their level of responsibility, barely touching on specific sector. No client details, no project specifics, no nothing. I'm one of these people but most of the people I work with are also. The second are people that list fuckin' everything. I don't know if it's for street cred, or they're really hurting for a job, or what. Seems to be a full third of people I know with no real rhyme or reason behind it. Like goddamn people, nobody gonna look at your profile in that level of detail. They're gonna see [employer] and whatever credentials you have and then go from there after they contact you.
