Howdy long time no comment been busy but started watching your clips for inspiration. Not sure if you r tracking but your speaker didn’t pick up a lot of what you were saying. I had to turn the TV right up. Other than great clip my bag is empty compared to yours.
Hey mate thanks for dropping in , sorry about the sound with the old rodes they tended to clip so had to be careful the new dji mic with the osmo should be better tho as 32bit so can adjust. lots of saving my pennies over last 7 years to get the bag up to this level and very happy with the gear very lucky.
The culture is really toxic, so this is a great video to put things in perspective for those that are thinking of getting into mining. Good luck to those going to join up I wish you all the best.
Hi mate sorry I don’t have one but specifically on that. I’d be happy to help tho, basically import layers separately. Then align and blend under edit tab . Let me know be happy to do some screen shots on this and and other options linear gradient tool after aligning .
unfortunately I doubt think they have this feature in the original R6 unless they have done with firmware update but I haven't seen anything before I upgraded to the mark 2 sorry . Rumours of the R6mark 3 are abound on the net for 2025 so maybe upgrade time next year and garb those new features or get the mark 2 cheaper second hand ? sorry couldn't be more help
Thanks to all the amazing comments and even criticism , all helps people make great decisions so thank you ! if you think I need to do an update for 2025 let me know ? if you haven't checked out my website can help support my channel through a print or shirt or trucker hat ? here's the link ru-vid.com?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUFSendFOGVBd2tNcmxkVTBaY19haVFqUXNRd3xBQ3Jtc0tuZm9YZGlaSHlKOHVuejdsTVVxSFVwUmt4cWdXOG90UFM1dERWYWJXVFZjY0luU3RvSkFra0EzdTVzcThwYUlid1RkT2lYdUF6YzRjVnVEM0J4a04xeE1WVGk3ZkV2dTNxMlVUMEhrTjdUd254QWZVQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fthirty4media.squarespace.com%2F34-media-merch&v=Xvz1GPlpBGY

Ive been working in the city last few years and can clear 120k after tax but yeah im jumping from job to job so often and its getting harder to find contracts now days in Melbourne. I really dont want to be away from home unless they are paying better in the mines now. How is it looking in 2024 for skilled trades?
Things are changing def but seems to be worse for me at least the big company I work is forcing us to change rosters to either 8/6 or 2/2 so lose 20% of wage and no more flights paid plus lose another day for travel if they choose 8/6 I will have to pay 30000 a year in flights from 15000 now plus 6 5 hour flights a month 2 a week. So that will be the end of Mining in WA for east coasters . Only contractor companies will pay flights and can shuffle people from site to site to make it worthwhile. These companies are only interested in share prices and hedge fund investors they care nothing about their employees. Unless you can get something on the east coast to save on travel I’d suggest staying away from WA they only want people who live in wa to work now . Sorry for the bad news good luck 🤞 we’re all going to need big business doesn’t want people making a living anymore.
I think in the modern vernacular you kind of completely miss the point which is the bokeh difference between a 7 or 8-blade iris. So any credible "test" would involve some sort of a model close to the lens and the generation of bokeh in the background using such aspects as night shooting or background lights plants and so forth but all you did was shoot wide landscapes. I would sincerely suggest you take some basic photography classes and refrain from making RU-vid videos about technology till you learn a bit more about basic photography. By the way, the more blades the rounder the bokeh will be so keep the 8-bade and that is why it is the rarer of the lenses... whew... now you owe me for the photography lesson.
Cheers mate , been a while since I’ve looked at these videos lol . I moved away from doing the reels as the freight to get the vinyl in from USA was and even more so now more expensive so not viable. But it def worked as the reels I did do are stilll in great condition no scratches . I do appreciate you dropping by and saying hello 😀
cheesr out testing and playing with tracking features and show off Sunshine coast popular coastline area , def something different lots of fun tracking the kite surfers and boats with teh mini 3pro .
Smaller camps are wears its at, i work 4 weeks on 2 weeks off in northern canada as an offsider. Food is always amazing, smaller camps everyone knows eachother and its starts to feel like a family for those 4 weeks. Honestly the saddest part is leaving at the end if the rotation since ya never know if you will see then again if they were a good crew
Hi mate , no sorry 😞 none this year, had to cut heap of costs this year to make sure house was ok so have had to pull out of the Barra classic which is on this week. Hopefully these banks might behave in 2025 and give us all a reprieve 🙏
Don't do it to yourself. It's a big kinder garden and extremely unhealthy for you peddling ridiculous hours from dusk till dawn. Stay with your families away from dirt and dust.
I appreciated the joke about Ramsay. Got a good chuckle out of me. Thanks for being so honest about working on the mine sites. I'm a graduate engineer and currently looking for work. Never have been passionate about mining. Seems mundane
Hi Paul I generally will use a 10 sec timer for my long exposures and 2 sec for higher speed shots. I do have the cable but can also use the canon app through phone if needed so that saves having to bring another piece of gear with me as well.
Sounds depressing 😂 Im glad i experienced working in the tunnels and mines during the 80's and 90's. Not many rules those days except stay alive and look after your mate.
Mate, I watched your video. And thank you for your time to help others. Sounds like a shit place you are in. Why are you still there ? Surely after all those years you can move on. Thank you for your advise and helping others with their decisions whether to work in the mines. But hopefully you can escape that prison and set yourself free. Surely you've set yourself up by now. Best of luck mate. And thanks again for your video
Good video pretty much nailed everything except for the drugs, I’ve had supervisors and superintendents on the gear, I was in construction, first one G3 project Gove, we had it good then, no drugs, other than the 4-1, work 14 days on, 15th day off, work another 14 then fly home, but fly days were on there time and payed travelling to home and we had 7 days at home, great food, great camp, good back then, the drugs came later mostly on my last on Cirtis Is Gladstone Qld, I finished 2016, ICE was bad.
Hey man I loved your video so honest and earning 40 quids and paying for your own flights etc plus you are stuck in very unfriendly environment no way, it would be a prison for me I would prefer to get sparky job, u get no overtimes, mining it is lonely place to be so easy to lose your life😢
Hey mate, great honest video. What do you reckon...if an older guy wants to try this? In his late 50s? Will he be able to do this as in will he be considered for positions and if he gets it be able to put up with all the BS for the sake of money? With the idea to make the most money on the end of his career? Cheers.
beautiful place for sure , very big mine south flank has basically become part of it , so probably biggest iron ore mine in Australia now . lots of politics . i need to be careful what i say here sorry as can be sacked for mentioning the place in bad way but like most , food is average occasionly get freshly cooked food but very rare and lunch they run out of food by fridays and restock is sundays rooms are ok only single kids beds tho so if tall feet hangover. good luck lots of new people on site so be carefull near misses every day that get swept under the carpet .
On the plus side, you did not mention the bonus of the meals included, that you would otherwise spend at a normal city job. At $25 per day for 3 meals (quite reasonable costing) times 242 work days, you save over $6,000. Then, if you are single and have no fixed off work accommodation, you are saving 34 weeks rent. Just rent for the week you are off. It might be more expensive for 1 week accommodation, but you didn't pay for the previous 2 weeks. So, just a stab in the dark, another $4,500 saved. As my father told me when I was young, it's not so important the money you make, it's the money you save (as in, the money you didn't spend). So, probably add 10 grand onto the positive side of your ledger....😊
Hi @34media your videos are amazing, very informative. I am a trained metalworker for construction technology from Germany. Ive worked the Last 6 years in the conveyor technology AS a industry mechanic in a Big company which means that I will probably take jobs as a boilermaker or a mechanic ( boilermaker earns more Money?!) I got my visa, paid for my RPL today + a professional CV + LinkedIn account. I hope that this will give me the best chances in difficult times. I want to fly to Australia in April and do the White Card & inductions to start as soon as possible, because the tax reset will follow on 01.07, right? Do you have any tips and tricks? I've read through almost all the videos and comments. Thank you for that !
Sounds like you've done most of the hard work mate i wish you all the best. remember sometimes easier to go to site as a contractor then meet the bosses and get a job with the big companies that way. Our HR is in the phillipines so going thru normal route is a nightmare we cant even get help form them . so i can only imagine someone trying to get a job would have dramas. Any way i hope it works out and you find a good site and company to work with !
yeah they are on a bad wicket as well mostly 60 grand for 2/1 roster and not many of them so maybe have 5 mins per room so do bare miniumum more their company managemnet that is causing theri issiues but still painful
Interesting to hear about the food. I always found OD (Olympic Dam) food pretty good. Also your flights, basically every mine in SA is free FIFO.. Sounds like you need to come to SA. My mate is a mechanic with CAT in OD, he only works 5 months of the year, is on $130k and now buying his second home (investment property)... He loves mining, think you need to get out of that particular mine site.
currently in NZ in earth moving getting up at 4:30 getting home at 7 ish only 5 days a week for $30 lucky to be single with no family things a tad more expensive now than 18 years ago when i started on $25, 3 of my workmates just left to Aussie not working in mines but they are all on around 2-3 times the kiwi rate for the same work, Its very tempting to jump across the pond.
yes ive heard nz getting very expensive I think were heading down the same bad path too here in Aus with house prices and need to work in mines just to afford a house mortgage now days . basic wage around 115000 per year for trade hasn't gone up since it was that in the 90's somehow but company profits up every year go figure and they keep whinging about having to pay royalties and taxes . def do what you have to do mate to get by that's what im doing to feed the family. good luck sorry for late reply
