Yes, absolutely. I think you wrote us email before to which we responded!

beautifully <3

Glad it helped you!

You are very welcome!

If you don't go deep into mountains, regular shoes are fine. Otherwise, trail shoes.

We don't know what it is like now. But, when we were there, it was no problem. We could see people walking with flashlights at night. We were up late ourselves too.

@@BlokhinFilms thanks! So there were no gates (actual ones, which are closed) between the main road and the lookout (and hence The View Hotel) - right?

I don't know that. We were on foot and did not wander too far from the camp. But, we saw people walking very far in the distance. I don't recall seeing cars driving when it got dark though. So, maybe there are gates that get closed after a certain hour. You can always call the park and ask.

@@BlokhinFilms thanks! Looks like to be on a safe side I have to allocate 350usd for the hotel night

It is also one of our favorite lounges we have visited so far.

You are welcome!

😅😂

Restaurant prices have gone up a lot recently. Plus, it is an island, somewhat higher prices are expected.

At the beginning, it was from stock photos. But, more recently, we are earning more from stock videos. So, yes, from stock photos + footage.

@@BlokhinFilms Thank you for answering, glad for that. one additional subscriber from me

As for us, they have to be substantially different. Otherwise, we would dilute their value. If they are indeed different (different lighting, angle, etc), then it is easy. You just add words that describe the differences. For example: "Great Salt Lake with mountains in background wide angle view", " Great Salt Lake at sunrise with mountains in background" etc.

Thank you for the quick reply, it was very clear. I will continue to follow your channel. Good work

Really glad it helped you!

Evan, sort the comments by the "newest first" and the comment thread below you will explain what's going on.

100% agree. Seeing how goats/sheep grazed on olive tree leaves and wild herbs (there is barely any grass on Ikaria), it was unsurprising how exceptional the quality of dairy and meat was on the island.

It does not, it matters for Adobe.

I am somewhat biased towards Nikon. But, I see Sony's amazing lineup which makes me want to give them a shot too.

@@BlokhinFilms OK, thank you for your opinion. 😃

What are you thinking of buying?

@@BlokhinFilms I have been looking at Sony but was worried that the 4k crop factor in their cameras might not be a good thing for stock footage? I don't know? I'm inexperienced in this part. That's why your advice would be much appreciated!

I do not worry too much about these details. The best camera is the one you have. Full frame cameras of any major manufacturer (Nikon, Sony or Canon) will work extremely well for stock footage. Of course, there are some nuances here and there, but it is largely irrelevant for stock. We have Nikon D850 that I record stock videos. Yes, it is an old camera, not exactly good for recording videos. We have been a bit reluctant to update our lineup for now, but will soon. And yet, I work around its limitations and took many of our best-selling stock clips (we still continue using it). I just think that specs are overrated at the end of the day.

Great you found it useful!

Yeah, true. I came up with my own associations to remember these concepts.

We don't know whether centenerians actually fast on a regular basis. Moreover, fasting comes with its own shortcomings, as it creates stress for the body (elevated cortisol, potentially loss of muscle depending on how you do it). For some, fasting may do more damage than good.

We use Nikon D850.

Sorry, I am not a legal expert to answer this question. There was a case with Kris Kashtanova where she was trying to copyright her ai generated images and failed. To me, if there is no copyright, then how can you sue someone? It is a completely different matter if you can prove that someone used your copyrighted image to train ai and generate a very similar image. If there was no compensation involved for training material, then it may be an issue (Getty and others are going after OpenAI for this). But, their training material had copyright attached (real images).

I understand how frustrating when you are stuck with this problem. And, perhaps, my video did not meet your expectations. I do provide solutions in the second half of my video though. I sincerely hope your YT problem gets resolved.

It takes very little effort submitting to Adobe actually. Like very little. Yes, it does make sense for us financially not going exclusive with Pond5. We submit videos only to Pond5, Adobe and Shutterstock. We make multiples more on Adobe + Shutterstock vs. Pond5 alone. Not going to disclose numbers here though. This can be unique to our situation.

Descriptions in names is not necessary, I agree. We do it more for ourselves if we need to search for a file through win explorer.

Haha, when you ride on a tour bus with fast changing light, you get what you get.

@@BlokhinFilms Yes that's a good point! :)

Nikon D850 is not really a video camera. We make do with what we have!
