I saw John branch was selling a preset that I almost bought but decided should just work it out myself.

you can find all their presets for free

Finally bought the canon control ring adapter

300 dollars :picard:
I love mine. I should have bought it the first time so now I got a regular one too.

I plan on posting a couple of pictures I took of one of my friends to help me build my portfolio. Are we cool with leaving watermarks on photos in here? Don't want it to look like I'm advertising.

I've never seen an issue with watermarks, a lot of my older shots have them on it, I posted them without a problem.

I normally shoot for fun but last week I shot a wedding for a friend's daughter. When she asked for a price I had no idea what to charge. I started looking at prices and didn't realize that wedding photographers were making that kind of money. I shot for six hours and everything went pretty well. By the time it was over they handed me a check for 2k. The next day I was so drained. I am not sure if its something I would want to do again. So many important moments that can be missed.
Dont charge any less. Wedding shooting be long ass hours on your feet + editing if you do it yourself.. got my cousin to bump up all his wedding related prices, got him making damn near 3k every time he step out the house.

Picked up the 14” MacBook Pro last week

This shyt is godsend compared to my old 2013 mac. PS & Davinci resolve run flawless
I really want to update to an M series laptop but I’m waiting to see what the new MacBook Air reviews look like. I edit on my desktop PC now anyways so I don’t need the power of the Pro anymore.

On another note…
Breh what happened to your rep?
