looking to start filmmaking and photography on a budget!

• ⁠budget: £300 maximum (body only)
• ⁠country: england
• ⁠condition: secondhand
• ⁠type of camera: sony mirrorless, aps-c, crop sensor (know it may be a bit unrealistic to find a decent mirrorless in my budget)
• ⁠intended use: photography, filmmaking
• ⁠if photography, what style: wildlife, street, landscape
• ⁠if video, what style: short film
• ⁠what features do you absolutely need: n/a
• ⁠portability: ideal, but not my deciding factor
• ⁠cameras you're considering: a6400, a6000, a6500, etc... (all over budget)
• ⁠cameras you already have: none! but have used an a7iii and fell in love, tried canon not a fan of the feel in hands and image softness

i really want the a6400 but it's out of my budget, i can only find the body for over £500, so i just want something for the time being to practice on until i can upgrade.

college student hospitality cv, any tips?

just stumbled across this subreddit on my feed! i started a job recently but i'm curious to know what i can do to make my cv even better.

would be looking at doing bar for events/festival's or just venues near me, my second option would be retail.

i think the profile is a little wordy for what it is but not sure what would be better. i don't know what i can say i've achieved, i don't have amazing sales numbers esp bc i only work 1-2 days a week. i think some things on there seem a bit pointless as well.

can't add another line or it goes onto a new page and don't want text too small.

thanks!

meet chip, a very smelly runner!

second night i've had him and all i can smell is his musty odour 😭 not sure if its pee or pheromones but wiping the wheel down helps a lot, was thinking it could be due to stress of a new environment he's trying to scent it as much as possible or maybe he can smell my past female dwarf who was in the same bucatstate even tho its all been cleaned! very very cute old man tho, i can't hold it against him

double checking! elderberries? (south eng, uk)

making a jam and went and picked some blackberries, elderberries, wild plums. just wanted to double check these are black elderberries, they were all hanging down in clusters but i am no expert with foraging and want a second opinion! know theres some similar ones, unfortunately have no pictures of the leaves. not using the unripe ones, and also confused why some have leafy tops on the berries and other ones don't

cheap small-ish bedroom recommendations! (england)

i live in a house with smokers, pets (dog, cat & hamster), room gets very dusty very fast. looking for one that is suitable for a 9ft length x 10.5ft width x 8ft tall (756 cubic ft) bedroom, under £40 to buy upfront but cheaper the better, cheap to run (under £15 a year) and yearly filter cost approx £20. if anyone could let me know any that come to mind that would be great. don't want to spend over my budget please, may be a big ask but just want something cheap and cheerful. noise isn't something which bothers me either.

how many upgrades do they give out to rear standing?

titles pretty self explanatory but i'm seeing mcr on july 10th and was wondering how many front standing upgrades they typically hand out to the people queuing for rear standing (for any artist, just so i can get a general idea) thanks!

ordered a cork tunnel, too small/risky?

haven't got a hamster yet, in the preparing stages! the entrance on both ends is 5cm which is big enough for a dwarf but just worried about the rough surface on the inside of it as i feel like it could be a bit of a tight squeeze.

anyone else's cat been a menace this last week 😭

when she would come into my room at night usually she would just sleep on my bed and cuddle. since the weathers got warmer she has been getting really weird, like running across my bed to stare at me with huge eyes like shes gonna pounce at me, clawing at my bed, scratching my windows (i think she was trying to work out if the bird feeders inside or outside), biting me, and just general zoomies which she doesn't typically get. while writing this she bit the lump of blutack on my wall and left teeth marks, send help

lymphatic fluid and irritation bump on stretched lobe help

it leaks and forms huge crusts, gently getting them off just reveals this pinkish lump with sort of flaky looking skin around it. i've had it for a couple of months now 2-3) ever since my jewellery got changed by my piercer which i suspect has caused irritation, the other ear is fine though i'm pretty sure. it looks damp as ive just used the last of my saline spray on it and used a hair dryer to dry it off but i'm ordering more. the piercings themselves have healed though i'm pretty sure (pierced at 8g). the jewellery they changed them to is 7g, perhaps worth sizing back down?
