They won’t.

If people could hack the firmware of these companies they would’ve done it by now, but no one has.

Except the old Magic Lantern one from decades ago.

Hope you learned from it and are now backing everything up in 3-2-1 fashion.

Three copies of your data, two local (on-site) but on different media (read: devices), and at least one copy off-site.

It’s pretty useless if you want to post more than one photo. The AR of the first photo will be applied to all the other pics so if your photos are all different ARs it will not work.

It’s not keyworded, but I’m not about to do that and don’t want to depend upon some commercial software (Like Lightroom) to organize my photos. I like it this way.

Keywords can be stored in the EXIF (IPTC) data, no need to buy commercial software to do that.

People like seeing things at eye level, it feels unnerving seeing something from an angle we would never see ourselves so we can’t relate to it.

45 degree drone shots are somewhat in the middle where you could imagine there being a mountain from where the picture was taken from but even then you’d feel like… ‘i could never see this vantage point in real life’ so your mind kind of blocks the fantasy a photo at eye level can give you. Eye level photos give you that feeling that you too could one day see that shot in real life and unconsciously that gives people comfort.

Top down drone shots look awesome, for a minute or two, but then the illusion fades away and you’re left with the same feeling you have when looking at a Google Maps image.

It’s all about what people feel when viewing a photo and how a photo tries to continuously grab your attention or in this case lacks.

I mean, Tamron has the 17-70mm APSC 2.8 which is 24-105 on FF.

Why would anyone hire you when you don’t actually do any work?

Right now I was just thinking: 1 dropbox, multiple folders and then manually mail everyone. But still a lot of work. If this can be automated that would rock…

That’s about as automated as it can be. No matter what you are envisioning, you still need to manually make the folder, manually enter email addresses. No software can do that without your input telling it what to do.

You could use Google photos and let Google’s Search AI group individuals automatically, but even then you need to manually add a name to a face for Google to search for, which means that if there are 120 different people you still need to ID 120 different faces manually first.

Only thing I can think of that might ease your issue is to make one single email and use BCC to email it to everyone, instead of emailing 120 people individually.

Also check out their magazine print options. They’re a lot cheaper and I actually find the quality better than a normal hardcover photobook.

InSwipe.

Here’s a photo of Boston from the air taken in 1860.

Taking a photo from the air isn’t something that started when drones were invented.

Buy 300 feet of bubble wrap. Use about 2 feet for packaging and the other 298 feet for pleasure.

Google for ‘hard drive docking station’.

Extract old hard drives from your old PCs, connect docking station to you new PC, insert old hard disks in dock, profit.

but I have read that you should export for printing at 300 ppi resolution. When I did this the photo I was exporting went haywire. It cropped my photo cutting a lot off

This doesn’t make any sense. Why are you cropping your photo to reach 300ppi?

It’s okay to supplement a photo with a story but the moment you need to tell a story to explain what you are seeing or are supposed to feel then the photo isn’t any good.

But sadly enough a lot of people buy photos based on the story that goes with it and not because of the photo, so it’s become a case of who can bullshit the most will sell the most.

Since Smugmug basically uses a version akin to Piwigo, tagging can be very useful.

Those cameras don’t put their recordings online for everyone to see.

There is a big difference.

One person watching the security cams vs thousands of people watching your photo online.

It’s all part of the American hustle culture.

Either by taking advantage of gullible people or beng a gullible person and falling for every ‘easy money’ scheme out there.

The term ‘you gotta spend money to make money’ has become the credo of both scammers and people with FOMO.

If it’s completely blown out, as in no contrast or anything in it, you can always do a sky replacement. But not a full one, just a 5-10% one just to give the sky a hint of contrast.

Camera is in a waterproof housing. Looking at the photographers comment it was taken in 2003 so it could just look like film because it was one of the earlier models of dslr and CCD sensors were only around, i’m guessing, 6MP?
