Sold my first print today

No.4446438 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Opened up a free Big Cartel store and ran an Instagram ad for this photo collage I made of a bridge in my hometown, featuring other textures and photos around town.

Sold it for $29.99, just to see if I could.

Now I'm thinking: how can I scale this? Does anyone have experience selling prints? I also do abstract, non-psychedelic photography.

Lightroom or One Plus for Fujifilm

No.4446204 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hey all, I have an tx3 and I have been ordered by the doctor to get out and take more photos or I might die, anyways, its been about 3 years since I edited any photos, back then One Plus was the bees knees for Fuji, wondering if lightroom has gotten better with Fuji raws? I will be pirating either.

Archiving

Hello anons! You might remember me from >>4425207 a while back. I have since set up some very neat desktop servers (both Synology) and I thought other anons may find this information useful.

For the storage of highly important and personal stuff, I ended up picking a "DS620slim" filled with SSDs (for low-noise and compactness). With 6x 4TB drives in RAID6, I have 16 TB (14.5 TiB) to work with which can be easily mirrored onto a "portable" external HDD. For the time being, I'm using an 8TB portable SSD and a 16TB external HDD as backups. The HDD is powered off for most of the time to reduce noise, and the portable SSD is used as the "off-site" backup (easily accessible, travels with me). Eventually, I'll need a 16TB SSD as the amount of data stored increases, but unfortunately there are no well-tested consumer products with that capacity in current year. If I end up needing more space for backups, I'll probably just use two 8TB portable SSDs.

Additionally, I've also built a much larger HDD array for a lot of the "bulky" data I work with (non-p) that I'd like to be stored more reliably. I'm still a bit unsure about how I'll handle the backups for those: I plan on getting a magnetic tape drive to properly back up this data, but I also want to keep a third centralized copy somehow. Any suggestions? I suppose I could pay money for "cloud" storage, but at that point, I suspect it'd be more cost-effective to simply built a second server at another location and mirror the data. Currently the server functions as a "backup" for a bunch of DAS, so it's not the only copy.

The whole process of setting these things up was surprisingly user-friendly. I feel a little silly for being intimidated by it. My main gripe is that Synology's DSM (server OS) gets upset when you use "off-brand" drives (i.e. not "Synology" brand), so I had to use a script to disable the stupid warnings that the server spits out. Otherwise, a very handy solution. Thanks for all of your advice, anons.

10-years ago I bought into the EF-S/EF platform. Thrifted a lot of film era EF lenses, bought used EF-s Lenses for cheap ($20 for that 28mm one)

camera body got upgraded twice over the years, lived on a tripod and took hundreds of product photos for ebay....

what is the modern day future proof camera mount?

Is it the Arri PL mount? I heard even RED moved over to those as well over the years?

Overly saturated colors

No.4444345 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
When shooting my paintings, I end up loosing some of the range and softness of the colors and values. Everything looks too saturated and "potent".
I'm using a non polarizing light filter on the lens, and on the LED lights, as to not get glare.
>Canon EOS 2000D
>F/8
>4 sec exposure
>100 iso
>55mm focal length
>white balance is set to ambience priority
these are the best setting I figured out with the help of AI.
No amount of Photoshop can save the inaccurate values and exposure.
Right is the photo I took with my phone in sunlight, and it's close to what it looks like irl.
Is the issue the lights not being powerful enough?
