I was notified March 15th, 2020 not to show up to work until April 6th, 2020. Three weeks without work. The agency I work for probably won’t pay me for the three weeks I’ll be off. I am hoping my photography takes off and I can pay for rent, groceries, bills, etc. Who am I kidding? With everyone self quarantining, no one is making any money.
I took the opportunity today to test my setup. My setup includes the Sony A7R II full frame camera, the 2018 Apple iPad Pro with the 512GB hard drive and the 12.9” screen. I am using 4TB Seagate hard drive attached to my iPad Pro to store all my photos and videos. The longest part of my editing process is actually importing the 80+ megabyte files onto the external hard drive. I am hoping that iPad OS 13.4 gets more solid as the File app on the iPad is kinda sketchy. I am hoping that iPadOS 14 resolves the Files app and makes the whole system easier and more solid to use.
The 2018 Apple iPad Pro edits the Sony A7R II files with a breeze. Literally it takes a second or two to import into Pixelmator Photo on the iPad Pro. Less than a second to use the Pixelmator Photo to use the AI to edit the photos. I am finally happy to report that I no longer need a MacBook Pro or a Windows 10 laptop to edit photos. I am now 110% reliant on the 2018 Apple iPad Pro.
Since I have a few weeks off, I was going to go to Parc Omega to test out the Sony A7RII but thanks to Coronavirus, the park is closed until whenever this shit show is done. I will be doing photography around the Ottawa area since travel is very limited right now and the income is limited as well. Thankfully gas is cheap and getting cheaper by the day. We’re done to less than 80 cents a litre. This Coronavirus is an overblown shit show. Someone is definitely making money off of this panic. It’s not a pandemic. It’s a panic.
