OK, in an effort to keep the discussions in the monthly photography threads based more on posting actual pictures and offering CC, let's put all other photography-related chats in this thread instead.

Good idea mate!

On a photography front I'm busy charging my SLR batteries and my timelapse-machine batteries as we're going to Moreton island for thee days! :)

timelapse-machine

ooh. is that a machine that slowly moves the camera?

i started a 'photo each day' type project today (day 1 pic in the october thread).

will be interesting to see what kind of photos I take as drift, graffiti and light painting are banned from my project to ensure that I try and shoot something different and new (to me anyway)

seeing as i start my job as a bike courier soon there will probably be plenty of pics of the inside of elevators no doubt :)

although, seeing as im already a 'collector' of graffiti photos I reckon im going to be weird and start collecting pics of elevators around the city, lol.

I dont get to pick up the camera that often.

I was dead set against the idea when i had the dslr, cause its such a pain in the ass taking it everywhere.

but the Lumix is always with me, so I know that when I see something interesting/disturbing/different during the day I'm always ready.

Are they PSD's? Or are they .xmp's?

If they are .xmp's you can delete them. The .xmp is just photoshops way of remembering what adjustments you've made in ACR.

Find out what file they are for and if you have already edited it and saved it in full res/for web etc.. then who cares lol, just delete it.

I must admit because i'm stuck in an office, project 365 is extremely hard. With daylights savings its fine though. It's just hard during non-daylight savings because i get home and its dark already!

Another question.

Do you give your clients high res srgb format jpegs or rgb format jpegs? Reason I ask is for printing.

What if the clients whats to print the high res. Wouldnt rgb format be better as it contains more colours?

I know srgb is best used for web, but im talking about printing.

thanks for the help.

Plus the printing company i use wants pics in srgb.. but im just curious about clients as they will most likley go to bigw or similar.

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
