[vivid verge]

he was ass today

lwk

[sudden karma]

yeah had a decent start and then after like 4 laps just shit himself

shame cause waters was so quick in quali yesterday

what happened to that speed deficit shit lmao i barely noticed a difference

[vivid verge]

as soon as the rain came everyone fucked themselves

literally every driver would’ve gone off at some point or hit something I reckon

@static ruin @patent pecan you guys might like this

Tub back 79

It’s been on the lot for a couple weeks and finally brought over so I’m curios as to why

[patent pecan]

I've seen a few coil converted style sides getting around Townsville, but the aluminium topper is new to me

It'd be interesting if entire floor was a drawer system from the tailgate, then a false floor about it to access from the sides

If you get a chance to open the back, take some photos

[late parcel]

I’ll see if I can. Got given to my coworker and I got put on a gr corolla lol

[steep idol]

Yeah the 200 series starter motor is also buried

[sudden karma]

yeah rain looked fucked on the stream, i missed the start of it sadly
by the end of the race when they showed the wide shots of the esses you could barely see the cars behind lol

[patent pecan]

Yeah same motor

[late parcel]

Yep

[static ruin]

It was amusing, the helicopter cam was useless

[patent pecan]

If it makes you feel better I do too when I fill mine mainly because i dont like holding 10L of oil above my shoulders for 5mins

especially being 20w60

Yeah your workshop seems very well set out and spacious which is nice

Some of our dealer workshops here are so crammed its a wonder there isn't more fender benders on customer cars

We have asymmetrical hoists so we have to go nose in 🥲

@steep idol these are the only snap on tools I have lol

Oh and my rattle gun but it was second hand

[still wadi]

why tf is woolies selling filters

[static ruin]

They should expand further into camera gear, just pickup another lens while out grocery shopping

[still wadi]

THEY HAVE AN A7IV

WHAT THE FUCK

no way...

[static ruin]

People who bright it also brought Bananas, Tomatos, Avos and all that

[still wadi]

lol

they have laowa lenses as well

WHY DO THEY HAVE THE SIGMA 105 T1.5

WHYY

THAT THING IS 10k

NOBODY IS BUYING ONE

[static ruin]

They don't stock it themselves

To be serious, it does note "Shipped from <Insert store here>"

[still wadi]

but why...

[static ruin]

Strange regardless

[still wadi]

its a grocery store

at this point

woolworths should just start selling cars

no fucking way

Friend: "where did you buy that lens from?"
Me: "woolworths"

[sour current]

Woolies allows other stores to sell through their website

Don’t ask me why

[still wadi]

yeah

its just funny finding camera equipment in a grocery store

[sour current]

Lmfao

I mean

My Woolies runs would leave me bankrupt if they were in store

[still wadi]

lol

[obsidian jetty]

any know wheres a camera markets in victoria

maybe near the west or melbourne cbd

[deep cape]

box hill have an camera market twice a year i think the last one was in september so next one will be march

its a pretty good one although its fucked busy lately because of digicam hype

they run more markets for members only

Also been a dry heat, atleast on the east coast. Hasn't been all that uncomfortable

[steep idol]

as a territorian, i can confirm

Hot? It’s bucketing down rain here

[steep idol]

literally amazon in disguse

[still wadi]

lol

[static ruin]

Will our spring storm drought finally end tomorrow.. Also for those in Sydney up through central coast, definitely one of those environments to be very aware of radar if you're out and about for photography or something

A day where a bit of light rain on radar can very quickly turn to big hail if it actually happens

[steep idol]

Heat training time?

[kindred rivet]

Enjoy that weather, down here the hottest it’s got in the past 3 months is 30

[frozen lantern]

Lucky bugger

[kindred rivet]

Thats South Australia for ya

[frozen lantern]

It’s hot but it’s been really wet so it’s humid here too

[steep idol]

me friend just deinking hydralite casually.....

meanwhile me chugging a full liter of H20 per hour

[patent pecan]

we aren't too far behind yas. The morning humidity has been disgusting

[static ruin]

What's the point in even having a weather forecast there, it's just... permanently the same

[patent pecan]

no we get an extra few degrees in january and lose some in july!

Our humidity graph stays the same though

[static ruin]

Need some of it here, sitting here hoping to see storms fire up... The humidity (or lack of) is basically a big reason it may fail to fire up

It's one of those extremes, assuming it doesn't happen too late, it's either nothing, or good chance of severe storms with big hail, little in between

[frozen lantern]

Yeah righto it was absolutely bucketing down last night but it’s been hot, sunny and blowing a gale all day

[errant wadi]

true blue

[steep idol]

magine if it was a holden

[errant wadi]

unfortunately not

my friend dressed up for the last day of school and its very performative

i love it

[steep idol]

where matcha?

[errant wadi]

too expensive these days

back in my day

[steep idol]

also, for a photography discord i was expecting a higher res image

[errant wadi]

matcha used to be cheap

[steep idol]

quality doesnt matter

[errant wadi]

it was transferred over instagram

and instagram loves to fuck all images

[steep idol]

dawg you even got em labubus

thank god i've never heard of em till now

[errant wadi]

dawg i am NOT in the picture

[steep idol]

*thay

wait no

**they

[errant wadi]

incredible photography skills

[errant wadi]

yes they do have labubus

except my friend couldnt source a labubu in time

so we settled for the next best thing

[steep idol]

got them T-90 eyes

[errant wadi]

oh god those cameras are everywhere

[steep idol]

lol, use a Co2 infrared laser to destroy em sensuurs

[errant wadi]

its fine not like im the one doing graffiti

i would NEVER do such a thing

at places with cameras

[steep idol]

better use of spinning rust than "AI"

[errant wadi]

mhm trueee

oh yeah the sky was very pretty today

lowk would smash

[steep idol]

R/brand new sentance

[still wadi]

i sure cannot wait until the december social media ban

yay

:c

[frozen lantern]

Oh yeah you’re affected by that

Is it below 16?

[static ruin]

Everyone's effected because of ID requirements, they can get f'd if they think I'm submitting it to these platforms lol

Fortunately I don't need to reinvent the wheel, with it already being implemented in the UK, people already got easy bypasses

[sudden karma]

Yup

So doesn't affect us

Worst part is my work uses Facebook for our work group chat, and half the work force us under 16 so for the time being we're trying to figure out a workaround if just faking ages doesn't work

All the new people especially cause they all go to Macca's to get jobs lol

[errant wadi]

its not

[errant wadi]

uhhh

wait

thats actually true

[sudden karma]

It's gonna be painful for us until we figure something out

[errant wadi]

i was gunna day just a numbers grpup chat

but

i dont tjink that'll work

[sudden karma]

On the plus side they won't block the McDonald's own social media because it's just used for work means

So that's still an option

[errant wadi]

yeah right

honestly i work solo so the only communication i have is my boss telling me i got work then just going

but he lowk leaves it till the last minute like he told me "i forgot to send out the schedyle but you're working tomorrow morning to 4pm and sunday 4pm to 10pm and this was at basically 10:30pm friday night

some communication pls 🥺🤧

[sudden karma]

ok 👌

This is why we directly call until you answer lmao

[errant wadi]

well whenever i type with a Chinese keyboard the 👌 comes up

[deep cape]

my brother in christ it looks like your keyboard needs a therapist

[errant wadi]

its fine wdym

sighhh why is twin hating

[still wadi]

yep

im below 16

so exactly a year until i can go back to using social media

which is gonna be annoying

[errant wadi]

oof

thats fine u can deffo bypass it

[still wadi]

idk how thats gonna work

[static ruin]

Depends on how it's done, vpn, generated (false) ID, video game for face scan

UK has the same thing already, people routinely bypass it now. Heck I'll be working around it because of information security/privacy rather than age, I don't like the precedent

[errant wadi]

vpn, fake id, face scan is so innacurate

like

no way can you enforce an age restriction on digital content unless its like korea or china

[still wadi]

idk about fake id

where would i even get one in the first place

[static ruin]

Ai generation, or just generic id photo off the net. People in the UK have just used ID showing kier starmer or something, enforcement isn't very sophisticated

[still wadi]

uh huh

ok

we'll see

if i dont talk here for 2 weeks straight

after december

that means it didnt work

[frozen lantern]

Surely you’ll still be able to use Spotify

[still wadi]

hopefully

spotify and youtube is carrting me through schoo;

[steep idol]

i dont use spotifiy

[sudden karma]

Please don't say you use YouTube music

[prisma atlas]

I love YouTube music

[still wadi]

tidal users: 🤓

[errant wadi]

why would spotify be age restricted

[static ruin]

iirc spotify is on the list in the uk, certain content requires said verification, discord will be similar

They'll probably just put the same in here

[steep idol]

worse

i use amazon music

[still wadi]

ok

who

why

why??

[steep idol]

idk, got prime, got it, and never really changed

its the same price as other streaming services so.....

[still wadi]

ok

[steep idol]

same price as apple music

[still wadi]

but it has worse music selection

apple music at least has actually good lossless

spotify has the big catalouge

[steep idol]

not that the music i listen too is in anyboyher services either

[still wadi]

yeah

ok

you do whatever works for you

[steep idol]

we have flac too bruh

[steep idol]

fair nuff

[still wadi]

there are many kinds of flac

12 bit flac, 16 bit flac, 24 bit flac

and 32bit flac

[steep idol]

also i pay for my subscriptions so im not gonna shove another $5 for spotifiy in top

[still wadi]

yeah

fair

[frozen lantern]

At least it’s not Apple Music

[steep idol]

we get 24bit flac but it really depends on who uploads it

[steep idol]

wy?

at least its not rakuten music

[still wadi]

or deezer

[frozen lantern]

With Apple Music don’t you have to pay for each individual song

[steep idol]

no???

[frozen lantern]

Oh well I’m good with Spotify

[still wadi]

its like kindle unlimited

you get some free songs

but can be bad or decent enough

[still wadi]

me too

[frozen lantern]

Spotify is good

Spotify without premium though is just not it though I would rather use the regular YouTube app

[still wadi]

but then you always gotta have the app open for it to work

so id rather be off with spotify

[frozen lantern]

But when you don’t have premium you get 6 ads after about a song or two

Premium duo is good you get that second account for like an extra $4 a month

[steep idol]

oh, thank god amazn music unlimited isnt like that

some of the music i've played were 24 bit 96Khz

flac

the limiting factor is the device itself

[still wadi]

oh yeah

not bad

[still wadi]

buy a nice usb dac

if you want max quality from your phone

[steep idol]

my msi board had decent dac, im planning to buy R2R eventually

for desktop

cuz otherwise its useless since i mainl bluetooth on my shokz

amzn msk also works on my garmin fenix 6S pro too, so its great when im biking or at school

[still wadi]

ok

shokz sound terrible

in my opinion

[steep idol]

im not gonna disagree, because if i had to choose between bad AQ and crashing to a pedestrian cuz i couldnt hear the i would take the first

[still wadi]

ok

fair enough

[steep idol]

and i wanted good AQ i always have my DT770

[still wadi]

i usually just put it on full anc and send it down and wish no one gets in my way

anc and pray

this is a good usb dac

for phones

really good for its price

[sour current]

I’m a complete wannabe lol

I use a ifi zen dac, dt770s and hd6xxs

250ohm dt770s because i’m not a filthy casual though

Nah but seriously they were just on sale

The headphone jack in my macbook pro is quite decent, and can keep up with my cans

[steep idol]

i only uave the 80ohm ones

i do wanna get a dac tho

cuz i want my $10 oer moth worth if audio qualitit

[steep idol]

damm 135? for around 220 i can get more powerful desktop r2r

i aint ever contested a license suspension but i got makes who have either had their license suspended

what happened

[prisma atlas]

The fact I havnt lost my licence is a miracle

[late parcel]

Overtook a dangerous driver, got done by a bike cop going 10 over but on double demerits (didn’t even know it was a public holiday). Lost 8 points on greens so I will get my license suspended for 3 months… but I’m homeless and live in my car working as a mechanic lol

[errant wadi]

u got dashcam?

prolly should if ur living in ur car

[late parcel]

I do but it happened before I became homeless and the car wasn’t mine at the time

Happened way back on the kings birthday

[steep idol]

i just pulled out me old brakes and holy damm were they dangerously thin

[late parcel]

How thin?

[steep idol]

wee bit past MINIMUM

and theyre a decade old too

Oh a bike brake? Looks fine lol

[still wadi]

brakes are smoother than my brain

[steep idol]

that is not good

arent you meant to be in school rn toast

[still wadi]

its supposed to be this thick

[still wadi]

yeah

vpn

[steep idol]

im buying these ones, high performance

[still wadi]

yep, much thicker than whatever happened to yours

i use disk, so dont need to worry that much

disc brakes*

[steep idol]

i guess i can partially blame the reason i crash on the brakes

[still wadi]

you ride a road bike im aussuming

[steep idol]

jealous asf rn

[steep idol]

yea

[still wadi]

yeah

that explains

i use mtb

disc is standard on mtb

[steep idol]

my mtb is also disc

[still wadi]

yeah, its standard on most mountain bikes

unless yours is from kamrt or something

[steep idol]

my road bike is as old as me

[still wadi]

damn

my mtb is older than me by 3 years

[steep idol]

damm, my road bike is very maintenance heavy

i need to re-grease the crank bearing soon

[still wadi]

my mtb just need some brake juice and clean the chains occasionally

very little maintainace

[steep idol]

clean chains is a constant battle for me. it took almost 2 litera of turpentine and methlated spirits; and a burnt hand to get to this point

[still wadi]

oof

[steep idol]

but i should only need to top it off every 300km (so around every 12 days) and full re-wax every 1000km

so relatively "low" maintenance

[still wadi]

wax?

i dont even need to do that

just some all weather lube lol

[steep idol]

yeah, not if i want to clean the chain every month and replace the chain every 6 months

all weather lube is higher maintenance, trust me

[still wadi]

idk

its been 2 years and only 1 chain snapped

its still rides really smooth

[steep idol]

chains aren't suppose to snap...

[steep idol]

you'd be suprised

[still wadi]

ok

Aren’t you lucky

[fiery island]

Almost got fucking fried when this storm blew overhead, I got to see what happens to barbed wire when it gets hit with a bolt: flying hot metal sparks and a crack loud enough to shatter eardrums.

[errant wadi]

well shit

[static ruin]

Very nice... The photo, not nearly being fried

We get the remains today, unfortunately dry storms possible, upwards of 40 degrees with rather strong winds.. basically hoping no fire starts

[sudden karma]

its about to hit us in victoria, wishing i could do something like this and had the time

[frozen lantern]

I would like to see confirmation of lightning hitting barbed wire

Out of curiosity

I’m now curious as to what this would look like

[fiery island]

I didn't exactly have a welding mask on hand, but the wire mostly vaporizes with a loud pop while the remains which were visibly glowing threw off sparks. There was heavy rain and I was trapped under perhaps the worst places to be with a storm booming overhead : under a partially dead tree.

[static ruin]

Beautiful storm

owh....

we had that too last year? or term ifg

[errant wadi]

yeah

[frozen lantern]

I’ve got that now

I only go to school when I’ve got exams for the next couple weeks

[fiery island]

And after I spent so much on my videocard ASUS comes out with this:

https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/121114-proart-rtx5080-o16g

[static ruin]

Yeah those cards look nice

[fiery island]

Just checked the real-time lightning maps.

Checked the cloud radar, storms should be here in a few hours.

[static ruin]

Yeah looked decent in satellite. Our big Aussie storm chaser was down there yesterday which I found amusing, first I've heard of a storm chase near nullabor plains given how remote it is

[fiery island]

Storm fizzled out before it reached the coast. Damn 😐

[static ruin]

Probably get another chance at it tonight

Meanwhile here today out birding, couple of red bellies apparently breeding here

Some kids unfortunately ended up throwing rocks at it

[fiery island]

I had one of those bastards slither into my camera bag once, it was a black bag - it was quite warm and cozy in there apparently.

[static ruin]

lol

Not sure what I'd even do at that point

[fiery island]

I saw the bugger get in it, I tipped it out. Important thing to remember is that wild snakes are just as scared of us as we are of them. Stomp your feet in tall grass, they can't hear but they feel the vibrations and think something big is coming their way.

[static ruin]

Yeah I'm not concerned about the red belly, I rarely see them out in the wild, was actually excited to see it (and its bigger partner behind it), was originally pointed out to me by another photographer

Bumped into a few, one of which has been doing stuff in the area longer than I've been alive, always interesting to see someone with that level of knowledge of an area

[fiery island]

I'm seen tourists stupidly chase snakes into a corner, which is categorically the worst possible thing to do.

[static ruin]

This was just off the edge of a main path in this area, but yeah leave it alone and it'll just ignore you. Had a burrow nearby it eventually went into

[fiery island]

As Darwin would have said: Don't worry folks, this is a problem that will solve itself.

[static ruin]

Naturally I didn't want anything to happen to them, was precisely my thought when kids started throwing rocks at it, is like this is how you get bitten

[fiery island]

yeah, not poking around under fallen logs and corrugated iron...not all surprises are good ones.

[fiery island]

Throwing rocks, at a snake?..no respect, that invariably leads to trouble.

[vivid verge]

I love red belly’s, it’s always cool to see them because they’re so fucking scared 95% of the time thwyre gone before you even know thwyre there

[static ruin]

Surprised at how rarely I see them given the places I go, do like seeing them

Apparently this couple sit in the same spot, still failed at finding my Azure kingfisher so will no doubt be revisiting, got some sacred kingfishers this time atleast

[frozen lantern]

They must have stopped teaching kids how not to get bitten I remember that being taught in primary school

Just let the reptiles do their own thing that they’ve been doing for millennia

[fiery island]

Exactly, but some kids these days have the entitled mindset that every animal is a toy for them to torment.

[vivid verge]

kids these days and it’s just the same shit that’s happened for ever

they’re just not educated thats all

still very stupid

[fiery island]

WOOHOO!!

Problem is, it's the wrong time of day for lightning photography 😩

[static ruin]

I'd take it atp here, still nothing decent on our long term forecasts

Well I guess depending on how things line up maybe 2nd to 6th Nov, don't have high hopes

[frozen lantern]

They’ll probably be like that until they set the wrong animal off

[static ruin]

Most kids grow out of it, in today's case parents were there and had a go at them after, I had to try not to laugh

[frozen lantern]

Hopefully they grow out of it before they win a Darwin Award

[sudden karma]

6th November is a cool day

[static ruin]

I assume your 18th?

Can I see a gp for back pain or will they just tell me to fuck off and see a chiro

[deep cape]

they’ll tell you to see a physio/chiro, i’d probably start with a remedial massage therapist or a physio and go from there

you don’t need a gp referral for em so i’d probably see what a physio says first

[static ruin]

From memory a gp referral can put some amount of physio sessions under medicare? Not something I've done, could save money though (assuming it costs, if I'm wrong just ignore)

[deep cape]

that’s a good point - you’re eligible for 5 physio sessions per year covered by medicare if you meet eligibility criteria for chronic disease management

or if you have back pain as a result of a car accident / workplace injury in which case i think those things are covered under

• tac / your state’s traffic accident compensation thingy
• workcover

[late parcel]

Thanks heaps

I’ve seen a physio and an osteo and it’s just been getting worse. To the point I’m sleeping on the floor to stay straight 😭 been needing help with so many simple tasks and it’s a pain going into my legs too

Yeah I recall you mentioning it in the past, given it seems to be chronic, I'd go gp route to save $$

Won't be unlimited sessions under it, but better than none

[late parcel]

Yeah thank you

[frozen lantern]

I haven’t even started studying and my exam block starts tomorrow

I think it’s psychological studies and some math that I have to work on for mine

[woeful belfry]

wow .. so Brisbane got slammed yesterday huh

[static ruin]

Yep, I'm honestly surprised that storm didn't drop a tornado at some point, it definitely tried. Mesocyclone cycled a few times on radar before it hit Brisbane. Still some major property damage from the winds/hail

[woeful belfry]

I've been watching a few tornado chaser videos lately ... kinda scary but also quite beautiful

[frozen lantern]

I heard there was hail

[woeful belfry]

yea, some pretty big hail ... lotta damage

[static ruin]

Biggest I've seen so far from photos is ~8cm, so yeah easily enough to destroy a roof

[late parcel]

Took the day off work because I can barely move 😭

[static ruin]

Ouch, go see that gp

[frozen lantern]

Didn’t know the hail was that big just heard there was hail

And boss just thinks I’m being a wuss so I don’t have to work, yeah as if I’d take a day unpaid leave and spend 350 bucks on drs for fun

[errant wadi]

what what

[eternal moat]

Ahh yes, one of those people feel they need to work while sick then getting the rest of the team sick.

[vivid verge]

didn’t realise physical injuries were contagious now

is this a new thing?

Hope I don’t catch a broken wrist from my mate today

[eternal moat]

I’m referring to her boss

Calling someone a wuss for not working due to injury/sickness. Is the same attitude of “I never take a day off work”.

[prisma atlas]

How is it that it was 42° yesterday and 20° today?

[late parcel]

Yep

[sudden karma]

it's because it's 22 degrees colder than yesterday 👍

That’s some five eye shit right there

No wonder you’re doing ATAR

omg i love their burgers

[frozen lantern]

I don’t know where the hell you’re getting burgers from something being called smart

“That’s some five eye shit” is a line from Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Mmmmmm I’m finally laying on a bed for the first time in months

Friend is letting me stay a couple nights while I’m really sick so I can actually heal

[deep cape]

hey quick one for the australians

actually let me take this shit to lounge

sorry for the false start

[still wadi]

hey guys, this may sound dumb, but i now can start looking for jobs, but i dont wanna work a boring maccas or coles job

i wann do something related to photography

is there any jobs that i may be able to do?

no degrees

under 18

[static ruin]

For actual photography, just kind of gotta put yourself out there, find local community/school events or something you can take photos for I suppose. Otherwise could try apply for camera stores?

[still wadi]

ok

theres a teds camera close to me

so might see if i can apply there

[sudden karma]

Best bet is either giving your resume in at these stores, or just applying online. I wouldn't really get your hopes up cause you'll have nothing on your resume and they might want someone with experience working in customer service

Another thing to keep in mind is these stores shut at like 5, and you won't be able to work those shifts after school because the shift length is legally too short. Working in a relatively shitty job like fast food or retail for school isn't a bad idea just to build up the resume

[deep cape]

could also try applying at printing/framing stores as a gateway to like photography adjacent jobs

and also art galleries where they may need someone who knows their way around cameras to archive works for digital/online collections/galleries

[still wadi]

uh huh

ok

[deep cape]

(suggesting that bc i have a couple of photographer friends who have those jobs down here)

[coral crescent]

see if you can shoot for your school

I did a bunch of the photo work for mine from y10 and 11

dropped it midway this year cause y12 is hard

[still wadi]

i mean i do have a athletics carnival coming up, but idk how to ask the teachers abt it

[coral crescent]

I got lucky in a way

won a bunch of contests

school recognised that I knew what I was doing

and they asked me

Approach your media person instead

not teachers

[still wadi]

media person?

[coral crescent]

the person who does all the photos atm

for swimming carnivals, athletics etc

and talk to them about it

[still wadi]

my school doesnt have one

[coral crescent]

oh then go to the coordinator for the athletics carnival

[still wadi]

its just the drama teacher and her phone

[coral crescent]

your head of PE or whoever it might be

[still wadi]

ok

[coral crescent]

probably your best bet

and they're usually pretty cool

oh but you should also have some sort of credibility

portfolio gallery, previous work, contest wins

etc

anything will do

[still wadi]

i dont have any contest wins sadly

but i do have a large portfolio

[eternal moat]

Retail at Teds or various other stores, photo lab tech, photo booth operator or those Santa photos outfits, school photos companies.

[eternal moat]

It also teaches one a bit of grit because the real world is shit

[still wadi]

i did apply for a santa photo thing, but they declined because i applied to late 😭

[eternal moat]

You could apply to real estate photo companies but you’d need to have the right gear and have reliable transport

[still wadi]

is a 24-70 enough?

[eternal moat]

No, you need minimum an ultra wide angle lens

[sudden karma]

Metro isn't reliable so that's a no go

[still wadi]

ok

[sudden karma]

Exactly one week until my birthday 🎉

[eternal moat]

14-24 or 16-35

[sudden karma]

16-35 is a common lens iirc

[eternal moat]

Hahaha man I can tell you Teds Elizabeth street gets a heaaaaaap of applications

[coral crescent]

I did a bit of retail

[still wadi]

damn

[coral crescent]

I used a 16-28 ff

[still wadi]

thats wide

[coral crescent]

That'll do good then

[eternal moat]

Yes, that’s the bare minimum

[coral crescent]

Lex whens your first exam

[sudden karma]

I personally work in fast food and it's shit, but it's money and the people there are often decent people

[coral crescent]

And a good tripod

[sudden karma]

Tommorow..

I'm scared help

[coral crescent]

Holy

What exam

[eternal moat]

You need a servicable tripod minimum 290 series from Manfrotto and a geared head

[sudden karma]

I'm not too stressed it's general math multiple choice
I've been doing decent on the practise exams anyway

[coral crescent]

Could be worse, could be those ancient history schools

[coral crescent]

😭

[sudden karma]

Oh I heard that yeah

How TF

I'm doing revolutions it's shit enough

[coral crescent]

Cant believe thats real

[still wadi]

is a smallrig ct enough?

[eternal moat]

Welcome to the world of professional photo

[coral crescent]

Been there done that

[sudden karma]

If it's stable most likely

[eternal moat]

It’s spindly head is useless though

[still wadi]

yeah, i hate that head

[eternal moat]

You’ll want minimum the Benro GD3WH

Saying that you’ll need to be able to work during the day

Because well that’s when RE photos need to be done

And as a fresh faced newbie no way people be putting you on twilight/dusk shoots

[coral crescent]

I have a little easier

A lot less competition out here

Small town

Realestate is a good starting point

[sudden karma]

Given me and toast live in Melbourne its quite a bit trickier lol

[eternal moat]

It’s good consistent work

[frozen lantern]

I’ve had a go with real estate it’s finding the right angles that I found most difficult

[eternal moat]

How long have you been doing RE and did you have a mentor?

[eternal moat]

Surprisingly it’s pretty easy to get your foot in the door. The key is to work for someone else.

Plenty of RE photo providers you can reach out to and they’ll give you a shot if they need people especially around selling season or preseason where they can train you up.

[frozen lantern]

I did it one time after I was volun-told that I was doing it that morning

[eternal moat]

Yikes!

[frozen lantern]

I’ve done it once and no and I didn’t have a mentor

[eternal moat]

Double yikes! No wonder you had trouble

I remember when I first started I would send my boss photos of the back of the screen to know if it was a good angle

[frozen lantern]

I was on my own

The house was sold privately so there was no photographer provided

[kindred rivet]

Who here sells prints? Since idk how to do this

[eternal moat]

It depends on what prints you're printing and who your market is

I have a friend who sells at Handmade markets

[kindred rivet]

Well I do landscape photography and my market is home owners

[eternal moat]

The only real way is to start attending these sort of markets and advertise.

Make sure you have a good variety of prints and then figure out what your clients are liking

And what makes your landscape photos unique compared to every other photographer selling their landscape prints

[deep cape]

as in photography as art prints at home?

[kindred rivet]

Yep

[eternal moat]

But yea it's just an exercise in grinding it out and consistently pushing your work

And annoyingly you'll need to be active on social media

[sudden karma]

I feel like Facebook would be better than Instagram cause more older people there that actually own homes but yeah

[eternal moat]

Pretty much, it's usually people with enough disposable income to buy his prints

I remember a client who bought a smaller 8x10 but told him she'd be back once she had more money to pick up his larger ones

Small 4x6s are like $60

It's still worthwhile marketing on as many channels as you can but also to tailor your ads with FB ads

[deep cape]

i think also do stuff like enter photo prizes/photo trophies to get your work out there, do small run prints of books of some of your best work for art fairs and stuff

[kindred rivet]

I’ve found Insta is better sometimes

I’ve pushed I think 2 posts out

In the 8 months I’ve been chasing photography full time

[eternal moat]

Thing about marketing and ads is it really just takes time for it to eventually yield fruit. You're probably looking at like 3 months + before seeing results

Assuming your work is up to snuff and people will buy it

[deep cape]

i think there’s also different demographics of people who will buy photo prints at home, definitely like the rich homeowner crowd who want like a large scale photo and pay mad money for it, but also the like young artsy person who cant afford to drop hundreds/thousands on a print but still will want to fill their space with art

and i feel like both those audiences for example have pretty small overlap in how they find and curate art for their space

[eternal moat]

The other thing is to make sure one's work has a USP

i.e. a gimmick

[frozen lantern]

Rightyo I got to school to do my exam and got sent home before I made it through the gate because the cops were there

[sudden karma]

Oof

Any idea why?

I just finished my first exam

4 to go

[frozen lantern]

Yep I was made aware pretty quickly

And they can’t punish me for missing the exam

[sour current]

Dang what happened?

[frozen lantern]

Just a probably false bomb threat

[coral crescent]

howd it go

[frozen lantern]

I spent all week stressing and studying for my exam TODAY just to get to school and not have to do it

And it’s been pushed back

[sudden karma]

Honestly it felt alright, and the answers I got seemed pretty standard so I'm not complaining

The next math one is short answer so ought to be worse

[frozen lantern]

Halloween, who’s gonna go shoot tonight?

[static ruin]

Well small squall line certainly wasn't on my bingo card this afternoon, nothing severe aside from flash floods, but eh, I'll take it. Big risk in SE QLD for those up there tomorrow though, all threats incl tornados, pretty decent chance of one. Likely more inland that Brissy, but one to take severe warnings seriously for

[deep cape]

nice

[vivid verge]

This was pretty sick ngl

rolled in so quick and got massive lightning near me

[woeful belfry]

yep ... there's a lotta weather out there

[static ruin]

Yeah been tracking, fun day for me to nerd out, been interesting things today. Fortunately most destructive storm I've seen for today was in the middle of nowhere, though still plenty of other places hit hard by 10cm hail

these questions

are doing my head in

95% of the exam is completely fine

but at the very end

they always throw a blinder of a question

to fuck you up

😭

and they make it worth like 6 marks

[patent pecan]

I did see a bit of the lineup but not that familiar

[sudden karma]

Ours are different but I've got short answer tommorow and I'm low-key fucked

I've done like zero study cause I've had other shit to get done and I've got today and tommorow to lock in

[static ruin]

Ah the classic cramming as much info as possible the day before

[sudden karma]

Never fails

I'm lucky enough that I don't have a double exam day at all, Ive got atleast a day between all my exams

[frozen lantern]

I crammed right before my exam

I don’t see myself doing that in future

[frozen lantern]

@patent pecan gonna see Jellyroll in Townsville?

[late parcel]

Really just went for Treaty Oak and Shaboozy

Saw the teary oak concert a couple weeks ago too lol

[patent pecan]

Nah not really a jelly roll fan man

I left before jelly roll played last night

Got home at 11 pm still so it we stayed for that it would’ve been too late

Gosh I sound old

Same weather

Bro most fuckass weather

[coral crescent]

bro

@sudden karma

holy fuck

this was the hardest paper sace ever released

😭

[sudden karma]

math was so fucked

[coral crescent]

they scrapped off ALL of the past paper questions

[sudden karma]

I just forgot a bunch of stuff in the moment

[coral crescent]

bro

I was in peak performance

and they pull out

some of the most wild shit I've ever seen

[sudden karma]

That shit was crazy

[coral crescent]

genuinly I think the highest grade anyone gets on this is a B+

[sudden karma]

I'm happy as long as I've gotten over like 50 percent atp

[coral crescent]

so

the sace exams right

they're split into 2 booklets

THIS YEAR

[sudden karma]

yeah so are ours

[coral crescent]

THEY MADE IT 13 QUETIONS

EVERY YEAR

ITS BEEN 10

[sudden karma]

wtf

[coral crescent]

11

also

wait are you in general or methods

[sudden karma]

General

[coral crescent]

so basically right

[sudden karma]

I had no need for methods no need to hate myself more

[coral crescent]

theres this thing called the first principle of calculus

its basically a very long formula to find the first derivative right

usually

[sudden karma]

isn't that shit fucked

[coral crescent]

nah

its usualyl really easy

like

really easy

its always worth 4-5 marks

THIS YEAR

THEY DECIDED

TO CUT IT ENTIRELY

FIRST TIME IN 7 YEARS

THEY CUT IT

[sudden karma]

minor crash out

I've got a day break then my next exam lol

[static ruin]

Watch them revert to it again next year

[coral crescent]

bro Im gonna swing atp

they pulled out HYBERBOLIC FUNCTIONS

they're not even in the course

the answer was in imaginary numbers

not even the real set of numbers

😭

[sudden karma]

Math is fake anyway

Good thing I never have to do it ever again

[coral crescent]

they're gonna have to

[coral crescent]

real

at least its over

honestly the thing is I enjoy derivatives

but this paper

hohoho

kms

on the bright side everyone is getting scaled up for sure

[sudden karma]

hell yeah

You should still get into uni down here anyway so it doesn't matter lol

[coral crescent]

Med is difficult

😭

gotta cook on my next 3 exams

but the hardest one is out the way

thank fuck

bro this exam is to the point where you could give me the question rn

give me full access to google

and I still wouldnt get it

and I have straight A+'s internally

😭

[sudden karma]

Yeah you're fucked

Altho tbf Monash med isn't horrid

[coral crescent]

its one of the more competitive ones no?

if I don't get in im taking law

[sudden karma]

Engineering is by far the most popular I believe

We're too stupid down here to all go med

Iirc they are offering support to those that do med cause we need doctors

[coral crescent]

they do

its still super comp

like jesus

hold on

this was last yearas process

[sudden karma]

yeah low-key fucked

Just Monash?

[coral crescent]

6.5% acceptance rate

yes

[sudden karma]

apply to like 6 unis 🗣️🔥

[coral crescent]

I'm at the 2nd last stage

my interview date is set

[sudden karma]

Lock in for the interview

[coral crescent]

real

just from memory

this was one of the simplifications

there are TWO numbers

[static ruin]

Worst case if you truly want to do med it's still very much possible to transfer later, always going to be extremely difficult to get into

[sudden karma]

theres pathways into everything

if you really want to do something you can

[sour current]

Youch bro

[coral crescent]

yessir

[late parcel]

Gday

I’d say pretty good

Humidity was pretty crazy today though lol

[late parcel]

Ikr it was fucked at work

[sour current]

It was so unexpected too, considering the weather previously

The thunderstorm was interesting though

Idk it’s a nice change of pace

As long as i don’t have somewhere to be during it lol

[late parcel]

The storm caused the humidity

And humidity caused storm I guess lol

[steep idol]

y12 general?

[sudden karma]

Yeah OFC

[urban quest]

Tbh I kinda feel like that's cope

Like if U do the classic boomed into med

You're in uni for soo fucking long and shit ain't cheap

[static ruin]

It very much depends, the most ideal route is straight out of school just to shave as much time as possible, plenty of people do go later though

The only real caveat there is it's not a field you can easily change into later in life because of how long it takes, even post uni

[urban quest]

I'm not saying people can't do it but it's a great way to generate tons of student debt

[urban quest]

Gang law ain't it 6 years + half a year shadowing then praying to have somebody hire you

With the whole time studying 10 hours to get mediocre grades 😭

[coral crescent]

?

5

shadowing is standard in both law and med lol

and this aint america, hecs is a lot easier

[patent pecan]

Thank you #14

[urban quest]

its still not easy 💀

[coral crescent]

no degree is gang 😭

[deep cape]

caveat to hecs being easier is that the govt indexation to hecs debt is uhh, far more than what you’d pay back in interest with student loans

if any bank or lender at this scale operated the way the australian government treated hecs loans there would be an inquiry

[static ruin]

Honestly think our system is pretty good overall, even if not perfect

[coral crescent]

no system really can be

[static ruin]

It's more than manageable amounts of money, and yeah being tied to cpi rather than interest rate is nice

[deep cape]

the system of like your employer keeping that money aside every paycheck and not paying it off as you go is mental by the time people esp in their first jobs pay off the amount come tax return time they’re basically just paying off the interest accrued and only a little bit off the principal

that’s cooked

even banks wouldn’t get away with that

and like yeah you absolutely can be proactive about it and pay it off on your own but i don’t think its as common knowledge as you’d hope it to be

[static ruin]

Well it's an entirely different system to how banks operate tbf, it's not supposed to be a typical loan, it's also the only debt you pay off with pretax income, which in itself is huge

Known plenty who intentionally just pay minimum and invest any spare money, comes out ahead over paying hecs early given how cheap the debt is (well ignoring the past ~4ish years with higher cpi I suppose)

[deep cape]

yeah i guess in like pre 2020 trajectory I probably wouldn’t have been like animated about this but the last four years have felt like there’s an opportunity to look at how this is done

was a great time to graduate and just watch the amount of money i owed skyrocket year on year

[static ruin]

Ah, yeah I definitely understand the feeling given the era then lol

For the decade or 2 prior it was typically on the order of 2% or so, so basically nothing

[deep cape]

skill issue (signing up to important life decisions without understanding what i was signing)

[static ruin]

My main concern is just the continuing price increases for uni, probably bigger issue than the hecs system

[deep cape]

yeah definitely

[static ruin]

On a random note, not seen any photos but heard reports that we did infact get snow/sleet up our mountains today

Knew it was a possibility, just nothing that'd actually sit on the ground

[prisma atlas]

I love watching you guys freak out about finals when I have an estimated ATAR of 44-79 💀

[eternal moat]

Except a bank or lender would have much harsher terms if you miss or are unable to make a payment

[frozen lantern]

Woah that’s better than me

[eternal moat]

HECS at least is means tested as to if you can actually pay it off without impacting your income

[frozen lantern]

I’m not even eligible for an atar

[eternal moat]

I don't want to remember my UAI

Ended up doing a year in a uni pathway course to get in, ended up with equivalent of 70-something

[sour current]

that’s crazy lol

I mean the range

How the hell do you have a difference of 36 lmfao

[frozen lantern]

It’s like with my QCE

I think I have 30-36

[prisma atlas]

I'm just too good 🥀

[frozen lantern]

I shouldn’t have picked to do my cert 3 it’s only really an extra 2 points and it’s not the most ideal one

[sour current]

Your projected star ranges from “not excellent but not half bad” to “pack it up and go to tafe”

That’s an accomplishment in itself lol

[eternal moat]

If you're anything like me you had subjects you liked/interested and those that didn't?

[prisma atlas]

That's what the head of academics basically said to me lol, like I either give up or lock in so hard

[eternal moat]

That was pretty much what my uni transcript looks like: either I did really well HD/D or C/P/NC

[frozen lantern]

I should just go to tafe so at least I can get a useful qualification instead of the one I’m actually doing

[prisma atlas]

Yeah basically, it's mostly business and accounting dragging me down

[prisma atlas]

Fair enough, I looked at it but I've left it too late BC I just stayed yr 12

[eternal moat]

The interesting thing is there are people who do well in high school and utterly crash out in uni

[prisma atlas]

That's because everyone burns out by the bed of yr12, like my mates who have an estimated of 96 study from 5-8am, then go to school from 8am-3:30pm then study till 10pm

Which good on them, but it's nice to have a personal life

[eternal moat]

The worse part is if you decide to go med route you essentially need to do that level of study if not more

From what I've heard it's a learnt skill

[prisma atlas]

If not more is an understatement, if your not constantly studying your behind, your behind either way but yeah

[eternal moat]

It's actually insane, a close friend of mine said law is just as bad

Apparently Constitutional Law crashes out a lot of people

[prisma atlas]

Oh yeah law is terrible. My family went 50/50 law and med and they all complained of the amount of time it took to get anywhere

[prisma atlas]

Not surprised

[static ruin]

I suppose the other motivation is the light at the end of the (very long) tunnel, once you're done, basically have guaranteed high income for life

Even without specializing the $$ is brilliant, with specialization the money is absurd, even if competitive and adds further time

[eternal moat]

Sort of

Law is a tricky one as only if you're a partner you make bank

But even then the work hours are realllllyyy hard

[static ruin]

I'm talking med

Laws is different

[eternal moat]

Med too

[prisma atlas]

Not if your a nurse 💀

[eternal moat]

There's further training

[prisma atlas]

Not shitting on anyone who is a nurse

[eternal moat]

You need to specialise after you finish med

[static ruin]

Nurse is different to med

[prisma atlas]

Oh right

Mbmb

I was talking more all round medical

[eternal moat]

And even then it's not a guarantee you'll find a job or even finish the specialisation

[static ruin]

Nurse money is solid, but yeah it's only 3 years of uni. Apparently getting in is a bit harder right now because of hiring freezes, but yeah even if not silly money it's fairly secure once you're in

[eternal moat]

Being a GP is actually a separate school/specialty

[static ruin]

Just the ceiling is much lower for nurses, basically at the mercy of whatever eba rate there is

[prisma atlas]

Aged care pays good ngl, all you do is make sure the person doesn't die and make sure they have food and necessities

[eternal moat]

Oh dude aged care is not as easy as you would think

[static ruin]

Burn out in aged care is high for a reason

[prisma atlas]

So true

[prisma atlas]

Yeah, when shit goes wrong it goes wrong, but I did it once or twice and it was fine, got paid to sit around for 10hrs

[eternal moat]

Being assaulted and sexually harassed is a thing

[static ruin]

You're not doing it as a nurse, not even remotely the same

[prisma atlas]

Treu true, nurses catch so much shit they shouldn't, fucking love them

[static ruin]

Responsibility is huge, good portion of the time you're just always on the go, high stress high responsibility environment typically

[frozen lantern]

Emergency workers in general

[coral crescent]

This is what straying me from the general medicine pathway

being a junior doctor just seems like hell

its why im really considering dentistry

[eternal moat]

I've got a friend who is a doctor and essentially hospital hops (takes contract jobs).

[sudden karma]
