Most of the ones I've seen are portfolio building ones

#

Gimme a sec

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:51 AM

#

see, that might be easy for you, but for me, that'd be hard I think

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 7:52 AM

#

So they give you a theme and a technique to capture in images

#

It's almost like a contest, and you have to make a portfolio of it

#

So one of the ones I have on file was "Passing of time" as the theme and "Long exposure" as the technique

#

Essentially you have to take a series of pictures using them and then provide an artist statement for each one

#

Images can be fucking shit and you'll still pass

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:53 AM

#

ahhh

#

I'd probably fail at that

#

I'm good technically, but poor creatively

coral crescent Images can be fucking shit and you'll still pass

You'd pass easily lol

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:54 AM

#

coral crescent You'd pass easily lol

I really struggle with things like that mate

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 7:54 AM

#

Creatively you can do fuck all, just need to have the technique and a general theme

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:54 AM

#

I have an uber technical mind, but very poor creatively

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 7:54 AM

#

static ruin So I'd have a chance

I'd be worried if you failed

#

It's cause of courses like this anyway I look down on photography in university here

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:55 AM

#

for me, I'd tackle that question with a few options - multiple exposures of a clock combined into a single image (with blurring of each individual images time hands); long exposure with motion blur of water at say a pier using a ND filter...

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:57 AM

#

another shot would be car trails at night in the city

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 7:57 AM

#

They did that in the folio

#

But in the day

#

With selective color

#

And the rest in mono

#

In short every mistake a beginner would make

#

My opinion on uni photography courses is that they teach fuck all

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 7:58 AM

#

static ruin The only upside to photography at uni is building potential connections

True

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 7:59 AM

#

after those 3 ideas of mine, I'm out of ideas

#

and I'm gonna guess 3 images isn't enough for a portfolio

#

serene ibex Dec 5, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

The specifications if y’all were wondering

#

@errant linden @coral crescent

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

Yeah looks like pretty basic stuff

#

To buy everything there excluding the laptop is probably like under 1200 AUD

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:17 AM

#

coral crescent To buy everything there excluding the laptop is probably like under 1200 AUD

I already have a laptop (7 actually LOL). And plenty of camera gear too. It's my creative ability that I fear would hold me back

#

why do you need a computer that supports Adobe Premiere Pro?

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

Eh maybe, I reckon I could pass the entire course in a week

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

WTF has that got to do with photography?

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

Yeah that is a bit weird

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

I guess a lot of pros now do a lot of video stuff for their sites

#

create tutorials etc

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

Yeah but the course is photography

#

Not media or visual

#

If it was media or visual then I'd understand

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:19 AM

#

I know I know, but video is probably a bigger part of the working pros life now than stills

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 8:20 AM

#

Yeah but the course is literally called photography KEKL , should be called Freelancing or something if it was teaching how to be a pro

#

Freelancing is much harder to learn and I think it'd be an actual decent course

#

Would cover business aspects as well

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:22 AM

#

diploma in photography typically eases you into being a working pro from my research last year

#

a far better option than an arts degree imho

Yeah but if you wanna go pro, just freelance for the duration of the course instead

#

Company will 100% prefer a person with actual experience in field shooting and working rather than someone fresh out of uni

#

I'd bet anything the freelancer is in a completely different league both creatively and technically as well lmao

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

not everyone can jump into freelance though, some, like me, would just get lost, frustrated and say fuck it

#

I mean, I like routine and structure

coral crescent Dec 5, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

errant linden not everyone can jump into freelance though, some, like me, would just get lost,...

All people get lost and frustrated but some quit and others keep going

#

Yeah sure uni exists for the risk free stuff but you're gonna be one of 100 people that have gone through that same course

#

My point is, if you wanna learn photography, don't go to uni for it. Go to uni for some other course and freelance photography on the side

#

That's my plan for uni anyway, though by the time I graduate I think I should be able to land a media related side job

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:33 AM

#

I guess. My issue is that my areas of photography that interest me aren't people friendly (nature, landscape, wildlife, birding, macro)

static ruin Dec 5, 2023, 8:50 AM

is it me, or are we more frequently getting twisters in Australia than we ever used to?

static ruin Dec 5, 2023, 8:57 AM

Not really, Australia gets more tornado's than many believe, it's just they're typically out rural and often unreported

errant linden Dec 5, 2023, 8:57 AM

ahh

static ruin Dec 5, 2023, 8:57 AM

Heck there's an experienced storm chaser who's visited the US basically yearly had to pull over on a highway in that storm I posted above, he was right in the "notch" chasing it, basically where the rotation was being a supercell

Two Crocodiles were sitting in the Australian parliament house parking lot. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids - I just don't get it.' 'Well,' said the big Croc, 'what have you been eating?' 'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Croc. 'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?' 'I hide under their cars and when they get near, I run at them and catch them'. 'Same here. Hmm.....How do you catch them?' asked the big Croc.'Well, I crawl up under one of their big Lexus, BMW or Mercedes cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat 'em!' 'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the shit out of a Politician, there's nothing much left but an arsehole with a briefcase

Wtf teds are selling the R7 for $2799

#

That’s $200 more than the original RRP

#

Fuck retailers are getting greedy

#

I mean from 2500 to 2800 is a $300 increase…300/2500 is 12% increase. How is justified when CPI is like 7.8 fucking percent?

#

And that’s all fabricated by the RBA falsely increasing interest rates without any justification

static ruin Dec 6, 2023, 8:49 AM

#

2 things, first is just shop around, I've honstly found teds to always be over priced. Second with the CPI, "7.8%" doesn't mean everything across the economy goes up by 7.8%, it effects every business differently, some see little to none, others see more, and things like cameras aren't even a factor

#

Also teds isn't selling it for $2799, it's only $2299 on their site https://www.teds.com.au/canon-eos-r7-mirrorless-camera-body-black

Or if you want it even cheaper, shop around as I noted

Why the fuck would you buy an 18-55 to adapt onto your R10 when your kit lens will do the job?

@eternal moat

serene ibex It’s apart of the course requirements

From my reading it just means that if you don’t have an 18-55 you might not be able to cover maybe the “take a telephoto” photo work assignment.

#

I still think you’re wasting your money on an adapter and kit lens.

#

The 18-45 is perfectly fine

New lens if anything, but even then I wouldn't buy one for the sake of it, buy because it does something you need and your current lenses can't

serene ibex <@203795817830547456> my camera should be fine for my diploma?

R10 is a brilliant camera, it's far more than needed

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:24 AM

#

Just probably the lenses then

#

#

Like just get an 18-55mm

#

Or get 3 lenses

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:26 AM

#

What do you have currently?

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:27 AM

#

18-45mm

#

ie the one that came with the R10

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:27 AM

#

Difference between 18-45 and 18-55 doesn't matter, wouldn't buy an 18-55

#

50 f1.8 is 'cheap' and gives you the option of larger aperture for bokeh, could be a decent lens to combo it with

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:28 AM

#

So what about the others

#

ie wide angle and telephoto

#

@static ruin

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:31 AM

#

It specifies on the right 18-55 on apsc would satisfy the minimum requirements, whether you buy anything beyond that from the sounds is more down to how you shoot

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:32 AM

#

So get the 18-55mm

#

?

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:32 AM

#

Your 18-45 is close enough

#

If you want telephoto, would get either the rf-s 55-210 or adapt the rf-s 55-250

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:33 AM

#

Sooo, what am I really getting

#

?

#

Or do I not buy anything

#

?

#

@static ruin (sorry for the ping)

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

serene ibex Or do I not buy anything

I wouldn't buy anything unless you want/need it. Speaking specifically for the course, there isn't any major difference between 45 and 55mm, the RF-S 18-45 is optically better than the old 18-55's, so you can just crop and honestly never know the difference anyway

#

I'd potentially consider a 50mm f1.8 prime just because it opens up other creative options being f1.8, beyond that it just depends on what you decide to shoot

#

If you find you don't have enough range, then buy a RF-S 55-210 or adapt an EF-S 55-250, same applies on the wider end, if you find you need wider, buy then, otherwise I'd just hold off

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

Besides, it isn’t till February

#

Got plenty of time

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:53 AM

#

Just keep saving in the mean time, buy a lens to fill a need or want, which you'll find out when the time comes if you need to

serene ibex Dec 17, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

I do have the money

static ruin Dec 17, 2023, 6:55 AM

#

Still same principal, buy to fill a need/want, don't just buy out of speculation of what you 'might' need

Either that or apparently residents have complained it'll just push people onto their streets, which to be fair, is probably exactly what I'll be doing

Fortunately it's not every area up there by any means yet, and looks like I can just accept a longer walk and park in residential areas looking at the maps, but no doubt they'll start metering residential roads for non locals eventually. The irony though is part of the justification is they want more $$, I'm probably no longer going to stop at a local store for a food or drink, it'll cost more to park than the food I'd be buying

What setup are you imaging with again?

#

Jetstream has been driving a lot of the wild weather this last month, it's also over here often

#

I'm more into visual astro, so I use a 10" dob for that, but have access to a 30" scope at a more local astro club

#

Or 18" at the darker site if others are there with them

#

This was my main target last week, spotting a supernova in a galaxy ~150 million ly away, was interesting (not my photo, I again did it visually using the eyeball camera)

Even if f9 wasn't good enough for some.. Honestly too bad lol, to make it any faster and you'd be approaching 600 f4 size and price

errant linden Dec 22, 2023, 9:16 AM

#

f9 is fine

#

I would have liked removable foot (not gonna be able to put a lenscoat on this lens), separate MF and custom rings and internal zoom rather than external zoom

#

but as it is, it's not a deal breaker

#

for me though, all accounts are saying it's softer than my 500f4 prime

#

so, not much good to me

static ruin Dec 22, 2023, 9:24 AM

#

To be expected though, it's a "budget" versatile zoom vs high end prime

#

500 f4 is a high bar to beat

errant linden Dec 22, 2023, 9:31 AM

#

yes, true

#

I was looking at the 200-800 as an addition to my prime, or selling my mark 1 and using tax return + proceeds of sale + savings to get a mark 2 500f4

#

think I will go with the latter option

#

full DPAF coverage, full FPS, slightly better optically, slightly better AF, and much better IS performance

Yeah for once I'm actually hoping it changes tomorrow/Christmas and falls apart, otherwise would definitely keep an eye out on it. Good chance the weather will be fine most of the day, just the chance of big storm

Severe storms to light up eastern Australia's Christmas

Violent thunderstorms are likely across eastern Australia this Christmas, rivalling some of the most intense and widespread storm outbreaks of the past few decades.

#

Seen some storm chasers comment it's one of the most potent setups they've seen in a long time, but that's talking large scale across NSW/QLD, so some areas will get nothing, others may get hit hard. edit: Conditions also put a tornado very much in the realm of possibility in the more northern parts of NSW into QLD
