How come Paramount+ feels like an outlier compared to most other major streamers? Paramount has the opportunity to convert some of their dying cable channels (namely MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central) into major content hubs for their very own streaming service in a manner similar to FX on Hulu as well as Bravo on Peacock (and to a lesser extent USA and Syfy). It seems, however, that they care so little and want to make th…

“Photography is expensive” – is it compared to your other hobbies? Naturally, there’s a certain level of initial investment as with anything else. Given patient 2nd hand acquisitions, replacing a body every 6-8yrs, and lenses whenever something worthwhile comes around, all of which contributes towards a relatively cost effective pursuit, especially as lenses tend to retain their value fairly well post the initi…

How many steps back/arms reach is 40mm compared to 28mm FoV? I normally shoot 28mm and find I tend to have to get really close to subjects, or reach my arm out to get the shots I want.

Do you find that taking a digital camera helps you stay in the moment compared to taking pictures on your phone? (Less convenient, so more intentional with taking pics) I found that I am often stopping to pull out my phone during trips / hikes, because I want to hold onto the memory.

Wondering if anyone has traveled with a digital camera and found that it helped them stay more present. …

Bit of a strange question, but I was chatting with my friend who’s a photographer and he made the point that how our eyes seamlessly integrate different exposure levels simultaneously (e.g. looking out a window from a dark room) is complete bs from the perspective of a camera. What else do we do visually that doesn’t make sense when thinking as …

Is a network television schedule more grueling for actors compared to working on a streaming show? Was always curious about this.
