Ive tried 3 different platforms and now are working well. Yes I know I should get an editor but want to learn a good workflow. Any suggestions? Thx

Taking my son to surf in the Avellenas Area in Costa Rica and looking for easy, fun breaks that aren’t too critical and anything else in the area; fun excursions, good inexpensive restaurants whatever you liked. Thanks

HI, super excited to visiting Avellenas and surf but wondering about other fun/adventurous/entertaining activities that we can do within 45min drive. Will have a car and it's me and my 16 year old son. Can be cultural, sporty or exploring. Any advice would be due really appreciated as ive never visited the area especially in the Rainy Season. Thanks so much...pura vida!

My retoucher sent Tiff + JPGs for an interiors shoot and the Tiff are sRGB which I think is weird, no issue with the JPG being in sRGB because they'll probably be for web anyway. But I would think they want to deliver in the widest space possible and then crunch down to sRGB. Not sure if it's a real world issue or im being overly critical. What are your thoughts?

Hope this is alright to ask but trying to find the best Day to Twilight conversion on an App. Tried a coupe and they weren't great so wondering if anyone has one they really like.

HI group, looking for the best airline inexpensive airline to fly internally in Thailand.

Will be doing BKK-Chiang Mai, CM-Krabi, Krabi-BKK

May have to check in a bag with that crazy 7kg policy. But looking for the least hassle, ease of boarding and on time etc.

Did RyanAir last year in Europe and it was brutal, cattle herding, rip off on carry on luggage at the gate etc so trying to avoid those kind of hassle

Thanks

I know it’s a weird one, but planning a trip to Thailand and realised a lot of garments are manufactured there. So wondering if anyone knows if you can buy Jackets and Pants less expensively over there and where to shop Thx

I totally realise this a strange question but with the daily monsoon I’m wondering what people like to take as footwear. Planning on going to Bangkok and Chang Mia. I’m a sneaker person but that could be the worst possible thing to wear and flip flops would not be great either as they slip and don’t protect the feet. So what do y’all wear and love Thx

Was thinking to take my son surfing in Popoyo area in August and wanted to hear your thoughts.

My son is an experienced beginner, just doesnt get enough water time to improve.

Looking for an area that he can surf in comfortably and improve, probably get a guide for a couple of days.

Is that area very tide dependent and have options for breaks, ie sheltered point break in case a big swell rolls through

Heard about Beginner Bay which sounds like it could be a good option.

I normally do 2 sessions a day so hoping thats a possibility.

Never had any issues traveling but how is the safety situation, any house break ins, cars etc?

Also any fun excursions close by that we can do with the Mrs as she doesnt surf?

Appreciate any advice.

Im looking to find the "best" AI retouching site and seems like Fotello gets a lot of likes but after speaking with a rep who said I could upload RAWs it actually seems like Canon Compressed CR3 are not accepted. They suggest reshooting which is absurd or covering to JPG which would totally defeat the purpose.

Happy to use another service if anyone has any recommendations.

Much appreciated

Just trying to pivot away from editors/retouchers and havent had the best luck with AI sites but still need HiRes Finals

Im shooting commercial buildings and need them to look like the originals including things like lettering on signage. Either they change elements of the buildings, mess the signage or have Lo-Res outputs.

Would love to hear what is working for everyone

Thx

Shooting Commercial Residential Buildings and got some questions for you pros?

Im shooting old and tired Residential Buildings for a new client, about 15 buildings, exteriors, lobby and amenities.

Logistically it's all a bit daunting as I was a bit misled by the client and underbid for the job not realizing how much work it actually would be.

Basically I plot the light, wanting to shoot it in full sun to make these older building look a bit better, that makes the lobbies from the exterior look really dark, even if I do a brighter plate for it.

Im doing about 3 a day but I realise dusk or backlit might actually give more flattering results

So my question is, how do you all prefer to shoot these type of things considering the time constraint

Thanks in advance

Have started throwing one on and it works great for floors and glare but does whacky stuff to windows and skies sometimes, even when rotated to lessen the effect.

Just wondering if its worth the hassle and just fix in post, which would be hard for glare but still

Thinking to go back to Nica after a long time and take my son who is learning to surf.

Last time we hit SJdR and it was decent but looking to find a different area even somewhere that has a variety of breaks, preferably point break in case a big swell rolls in.

Also wanting to rent a car to get around and do a side trip to Leon with the Mrs.

Any reccos would be really appreciated and any tips in case things have changed a lot in the 10 years since I visited

Much appreciated

Does anyone opinions about Canon 45mm Tilt Shift vs 50mm Tilt Shift only for architecture?

Always looking for the best gear for the job but seems like I can find the 45mm used for under $500 and the 50mm is much more expensive but looks like a newer design.

I won't be using it for Macro though which seems its primary purpose.

Would love to hear people personal experience with either and any advice about which to get

Thanks

HI, does any use the Canon 24mm Tilt Shift with the Canon R5 MkII?

Im having an issue with this combo as the camera reads the 24mm as the 17mm TSE so when it applies Illumination Corrections they are all wrong. One tech at Canon said send it in but I think it might be an issue with the EF-RF Adapter and lens communicating with the camera.

If anyone has this set up too would you mind having a look to see if you have the same issue?

Was shooting interiors with my Canon 24mm Tilt shift lens with RF adapter and decided to compare to RF 15-35mm I immediately noticed that th 24mm had a darker center area (so lighter edges) compared to the zoom and the image looked unevenly lit when it wasn’t. Tried with a regular RF adapter, clear dropin filter and CPL but they all gave the same result. Is there something wrong with the lens or do other people experience this also?

Noticed a dark Centre and flared out edges on both my Tilt Shift lenses, shooting them at f9 so nothing crazy. Tried with regular ef-rf adapter, then clear filter drop in and CPL drop in and all the same All in soft even lit interior Compared to RF 15-35 and the difference was striking. RF looked crisp and the same exposure across the whole frame. Has anyone experience this? Doubt there is any physical issues with the lenses and there are no drop marks and the focus is smooth. Any ideas would be appreciated Thanks J
