Hey! Really enjoyed this video. I think I've actually seen your NYT article, so it was really cool seeing this video pop up; thanks for taking us behind the scenes. Out of curiosity, on publishing photographs with people in public. Did you need to get their permission? How did that work? For example the farmers market at Evergreen. Thanks! Edit: I just saw the other comments haha. Thats really interesting! But yea, anyways, hope to see more of these :)
Hey, thank you very much much, appreciate your support and question! I’m sure it varies a bit from place to place and depending on the publication so my rule is to just ask the editors. But yea I’ve never needed a release for editorial work. Thanks again!
Very cool ❤ the photos look great! With the photos in the restaurant, did you have to deal with getting model releases for the photos of the patrons? The group by the window was my favourite of the restaurant set - it had a great candid vibe! Oh and forgot to add the video was very well edited too! I like all the b-roll and the music 👌 all nerdy things I’m getting into at the moment 😅
Thank you Patrick!! My understanding (as editors have told me) is for editorial shoots (magazines and newspapers) you don't need a model release for each person. For commercial shoots you do. Most people don't seem to mind and are typically excited when I tell them the publication it's for. But I typically just shoot and only talk to the people if they ask. I really appreciate you positive feedback on the edit and the music. Our editor Jeff was responsible for both and did a fantastic job! With his help I hope we'll be able to do more videos like this. Always appreciate your support!
@@WorkerBeeSupply thanks for replying! That makes a lot of sense, as I can imagine people becoming self conscious or otherwise change their behaviour if you approach them first before taking their photo.
Glad it was helpful! If you liked this I think you'll enjoy out latest video we just put up abot shooting for the New York Times. Check it out and let me know what you think!
A lot of new work comes from recommendations (word of mouth) and people finding us on our website. The goal is to build awareness around the kind of work you want to do and have an easy way for people to recommend you. For magazine contact details, you can typically find it in the magazine mashead section on the magazine or website. You can also find one person's email at the magazine and use the same format to guess a different person's email there. If you enjoyed this video check out our latest upload - a behind the sceens look at a shoot for The New York Times! Let me know what you think.
@@WorkerBeeSupply can you elaborate and make a dedicated video in the same topic of finding work ( basis of my query) like this one, information packed!!
so I am not crazy for keeping my RAWs as a hobbiest. I was going through 15ish years of photos and every location for each month has a RAW and Edited folder and some are 30+GB folders of just RAW.
Not at all! I've saved many clients by keeping all my images, plus it's faster to save everything and keep it organized than having to choose what to keep and get rid of, later regretting it. I'm exactly the same as you. If you liked this video, check out our latest upload (a behind the scenes look at a travel shoot for the New York Times! Let me know what you think.
I only recently lost a drive for the first time ever in 20 years of building my own PC's. It was a SFF Western Digital Game Drive, shucked and added to where my case had a slot for 2.5" SSD's. Being what it was, I did suspect it might give out on me, but I was still caught off guard when it did. It lasted about 2 years then crashed one day. This video's main lesson applies - if the drive had sensitive data on it, I would have been.... up a certain filthy creek with no propulsion. I used to resell parts so I've encountered quite a few drives in my time. Previously I've used a number of Western Digital RE3's. Every single one of those survived until their retirement, with anywhere from 70,000 - 90,000 powered-on hours apiece. They were only retired because their hours were high and their capacity (1TB) was getting pretty antique. The 6TB Skyhawk I replaced them with survived about 5 years until again, retired while still working fine, around 45,000 hours on it. A few of the 250GB WD RE3's I had bought in a batch were DENTED and still cleared all testing! (HOW!?) On the opposite end, a buddy of mine dropped the back of a running drive onto a desk from less than an inch up and it head-crashed immediately (He's an idiot, but it just goes to show - if you jolt a drive while it's head is active, you're in for a bad day) So basically, I have one thing to add to this video's wisdom, and that is - do your research on drive models and brands reliability. Don't buy the junkers known to break. If you make sure you buy dependable models from reliable sources, you will take drive crashes to a minimum. These days You can use Amazon and the like to offer thousands of reviews. Even among a single Brand, some models are winners and others are losers. Sometimes certain vendors don't know how to use safe packaging for a hard drive. Just do your due diligence.
Putting that greasy goop on the lens is a horrible idea. It's supposed to be smeared on a clear filter. This way it will find its way into the lens. Horrible, horrible idea.
Self Care is 100% bullshit, I forced myself to do everything perfect to a T (working out, forcing to talk to people, pursing bullshit hobbies in order to have some meaning in life). Everything in life regarding happiness always leads back to human connection. No matter if you have the most fulfilling hobby without human connection it’s all meaningless.
Cannot find any updates for Disk Inventory X since 2019. It crashes repeatedly on MacOS Ventura. So.... Paying for this one sounds like the best option.
I don’t normally comment on YT videos, but this was AWESOME. I love how you explained everything, it made perfect sense and really made me feel like I can do this myself!
Putting in on the front element?? You’re both morons who shouldn’t be giving equipment advice to anyone. The petroleum jelly trick isn’t that size to begin with as there are much better alternatives, but if one is going to do it simply use a UV filter and take great care it doesn’t further liquify.
My hard drives have some files on them which I would hate to lose so I appreciate these videos, thank you :) -I know I need to prevent things like that...
This is not working any more. By updating instagram app , the features changes and this option is removed from setting. I want to see the text of my old bio, but is not possible anymore. Please guid on the new version of instagram app 🙏
I've owned my iMac for 14yrs and it just died this week. That's one reason I love Apple products. They tend to be more robustly made than PC competitors and last longer. The OS is more user-friendly and more stable. I've never experienced a crash. Like you essentially said though, Apple holds their customers hostage in various ways. You can't upgrade hardware. They decide to cut you off your OS updates, rendering your computer progressively more useless as software updates require the newer OS. I've been re-educating myself on available specs with the current iMac, Mac Mini, and comparable PCs. The 2022 iMac seems like a good value compared to comparably spec'd PCs. When I build out a comparably spec'd PC, the price comes out very similar when all is considered. Mac Mini is promoted as a better value, but no one takes into consideration it's just the computer. You still have to spend $600+ on a 4k 24" monitor, keyboard, mouse, 1080p webcam, and speaker system (the built-in sound is a crappy monospeaker). This gets very complicated to figure out and it all ads up to at least the cost of a tidy packaged all-in-one iMac. The downside is that if any single competent of you iMac fails, you have to bring the whole computer in for repair, which is a hassle and inconvenience. So it's really hard to decide what is best. An iMac, Mac Mini custom setup, or switching over to a custom PC setup with spotty hardware reliability and fussy, crash-prone Windows operating systems.
