as a designer, I've had 2 clients this week postpone their web site projects until Sept and Nov...not a promising sign.

Strangely enough, my design business has been booming. Perhaps it's the fact that my pricing is so much lower than comparable firms in my area. I'm glad that stock isn't my full-time job right about now!

Thanks, I assumed that was the way it worked. Also I noticed when I ftp my files using filezilla it takes awhile for them to show up. It seems like some of the batch is there and then the next day there is more from that same batch. Anyone else notice this?

I just started submitting there. I have some photos that are approved through zoonar but are waiting to be approved by polylooks and apis I think. It was hard to understand the process there. Once they are excepted to polylooks is that when you receive money for each upload?

He also had work for you in what I'm guessing is your full time job "web development", but for that you suggested he hire another developer. Question, why not just suggest he buy the book "Website Development For Dummies" so that he could do that himself?

He was looking for someone full-time and I can't leave all of my other clients out in the cold to work for him only. I make a comfortable living freelance and want to keep it that way.

He wants to be able to photograph furniture that he is selling as sets. Photo is from competitor's website.

I was contacted by a friend of mine that owns a large furniture store locally. He knows that I know my way around a camera a bit and wanted to set up a studio in his warehouse to photograph his furniture for his website. He saw a competitor's website where all of the furniture was isolated on white and wants that look as well.

I met with him today to see how much space was available and other logistics. What we came up with was the following:
    1 - I will put together a "shopping list" for him including lights, camera, construction materials, etc.
    2 - I will be on location while the electrician installs lighting to ensure proper placement
    3 - I will be on location while the carpenter installs the curve between the wall and the floor
    4 - I will mark out on the floor where tripod will be located and rough locations for furniture during shooting
    5 - I will go to his location to set up the camera and create a small training manual (camera settings mostly)
    6 - I will go to his location to train one or more of his employees to take the photos in the completed studio

After that, my job is finished. What would you guys charge for something like that? He asked me for a number, but I didn't want to jump the gun, so to speak.

TIA for your input!

I find it very interesting! Do you have an easy way to compile those stats or just counting them yourself?

Also, what period is covered?

Wonder how something like this (eating a bug)  would work as a video clip?

I would think that a time-lapse would be cool...

The problem with focusing while filming is that touching the lens directly with your hand causes the camera to shake. That's why film-makers use a follow-focus. It removes your hand from the lens and makes for much smoother shooting.

So instead of using chocolate, labrador (dog), why not use "chocolate labrador"?

Can someone please explain how to do so using DeepMeta?

TIA
