I think in the modern vernacular you kind of completely miss the point which is the bokeh difference between a 7 or 8-blade iris. So any credible "test" would involve some sort of a model close to the lens and the generation of bokeh in the background using such aspects as night shooting or background lights plants and so forth but all you did was shoot wide landscapes. I would sincerely suggest you take some basic photography classes and refrain from making KZfaq videos about technology till you learn a bit more about basic photography. By the way, the more blades the rounder the bokeh will be so keep the 8-bade and that is why it is the rarer of the lenses... whew... now you owe me for the photography lesson.

Typo lol

I think it looks pretty decent, would like to see an update on your skills after 5 years.

34- unusual video~

Fuck your a good cunt for telling the truth about all this shit thats what i thought it was like to.

Smaller camps are wears its at, i work 4 weeks on 2 weeks off in northern canada as an offsider. Food is always amazing, smaller camps everyone knows eachother and its starts to feel like a family for those 4 weeks. Honestly the saddest part is leaving at the end if the rotation since ya never know if you will see then again if they were a good crew

Thank you

As good as it gets nice work Ashley, any fishing videos coming up soon.

Don't do it to yourself. It's a big kinder garden and extremely unhealthy for you peddling ridiculous hours from dusk till dawn. Stay with your families away from dirt and dust.

Great Video

I appreciated the joke about Ramsay. Got a good chuckle out of me. Thanks for being so honest about working on the mine sites. I'm a graduate engineer and currently looking for work. Never have been passionate about mining. Seems mundane

Great footage mate!! 😉👍

Why are uou not using a cable release

🇵🇬,

Brilliant work! 👏🏻👏🏻😉

nice !

Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing.

Great capture mate👌👍😉

Sounds depressing 😂 Im glad i experienced working in the tunnels and mines during the 80's and 90's. Not many rules those days except stay alive and look after your mate.

Mate, I watched your video. And thank you for your time to help others. Sounds like a shit place you are in. Why are you still there ? Surely after all those years you can move on. Thank you for your advise and helping others with their decisions whether to work in the mines. But hopefully you can escape that prison and set yourself free. Surely you've set yourself up by now. Best of luck mate. And thanks again for your video

Good video pretty much nailed everything except for the drugs, I’ve had supervisors and superintendents on the gear, I was in construction, first one G3 project Gove, we had it good then, no drugs, other than the 4-1, work 14 days on, 15th day off, work another 14 then fly home, but fly days were on there time and payed travelling to home and we had 7 days at home, great food, great camp, good back then, the drugs came later mostly on my last on Cirtis Is Gladstone Qld, I finished 2016, ICE was bad.

Hey man I loved your video so honest and earning 40 quids and paying for your own flights etc plus you are stuck in very unfriendly environment no way, it would be a prison for me I would prefer to get sparky job, u get no overtimes, mining it is lonely place to be so easy to lose your life😢

Hey mate, great honest video. What do you reckon...if an older guy wants to try this? In his late 50s? Will he be able to do this as in will he be considered for positions and if he gets it be able to put up with all the BS for the sake of money? With the idea to make the most money on the end of his career? Cheers.

Hey mate heading out to packsaddle in a few weeks coming to operate trucks hows packsaddle camp heard good things and bad things cheers mate!

On the plus side, you did not mention the bonus of the meals included, that you would otherwise spend at a normal city job. At $25 per day for 3 meals (quite reasonable costing) times 242 work days, you save over $6,000. Then, if you are single and have no fixed off work accommodation, you are saving 34 weeks rent. Just rent for the week you are off. It might be more expensive for 1 week accommodation, but you didn't pay for the previous 2 weeks. So, just a stab in the dark, another $4,500 saved. As my father told me when I was young, it's not so important the money you make, it's the money you save (as in, the money you didn't spend). So, probably add 10 grand onto the positive side of your ledger....😊

Hi guys, Beautiful spot and photos are lovely.

Good luck on your 10K goal. I'll get you one closer today.

Hi @34media your videos are amazing, very informative. I am a trained metalworker for construction technology from Germany. Ive worked the Last 6 years in the conveyor technology AS a industry mechanic in a Big company which means that I will probably take jobs as a boilermaker or a mechanic ( boilermaker earns more Money?!) I got my visa, paid for my RPL today + a professional CV + LinkedIn account. I hope that this will give me the best chances in difficult times. I want to fly to Australia in April and do the White Card & inductions to start as soon as possible, because the tax reset will follow on 01.07, right? Do you have any tips and tricks? I've read through almost all the videos and comments. Thank you for that !

The money on offer in 2024 seems much higher

bro why do i always see the driller offsider positions going for 100k year standard

Sorry to hear the cleaners don't do a good job.

Interesting to hear about the food. I always found OD (Olympic Dam) food pretty good. Also your flights, basically every mine in SA is free FIFO.. Sounds like you need to come to SA. My mate is a mechanic with CAT in OD, he only works 5 months of the year, is on $130k and now buying his second home (investment property)... He loves mining, think you need to get out of that particular mine site.

I won't handle the no shagging with my pretty lady. This job not for me. Thanks for great video

currently in NZ in earth moving getting up at 4:30 getting home at 7 ish only 5 days a week for $30 lucky to be single with no family things a tad more expensive now than 18 years ago when i started on $25, 3 of my workmates just left to Aussie not working in mines but they are all on around 2-3 times the kiwi rate for the same work, Its very tempting to jump across the pond.

Awesome video 👏👍

Try DIDO shutdowns.. What a delusional career choice that was. 4/4/4 From my recent experience it's turned into a bunch of so called Engineering labour hires that talk utter rot..Jobs that don't go for full duration and zero garantee of ongoing work.... Be carefull..

Hey Mate thank you for being honest in you review of the mining life im moving over to Brisbane from NZ in February and looking into mining would you say the industry is still the same?

Can't believe the wages are so low, for some reason always thought they were much higher than that.

They should have a cupboard in the room that you can lock your stuff up in . Not as much room but def will have something 👍

Hi brother am from zimbabwe , how/where can I apply for these FiFo jobs

fantastic walk-through of mine campsite. Photos at last are of national geography level👍

Firstly thanks for a great video and really helpful channel. Excuse my ignorance and silly questions as I'm starting to look into FIFO work potentially as a dump truck driver. I always just assumed that you were allocated a different vacant room each time you longed onto a shift, is that not the case? Do they give you your own room for the length of your employment and for the week or 2 weeks you are off it just lies vacant?

I appreciate the honesty and you've talked me out of going for it, for good reason. I just looked at the money and didnt factor in everything that you miss, even the time spent on site that you aren't paid for. I think the time spent at home at the end of the day and weekends is more valuable than I gave credit for

Remove background music. Very irritating.

Just got my first job in mines (Rescue Paramedic) $115,000 7/7 This is my first job since I qualified with my Paramedic degree, happy with that for 12 months or so until I get a job with the ambo's or I might stay on if I enjoy it. (Single no kids)

Stay healthy by going to the gym after the crap food? All I need is some sleep and good food and I'll go flat out. But I won't survive if they won't provide a good feed. All to save a couple dollars for old mates next yacht. This sounds like a joke. Keep your money.

I’ve been working in processing for a bit over a year now. I never had any desire to get on the mines. In fact I hated the idea. Pretty much the only reason I gave it a go is because after being a concreter and steel fixer for 15 years, I’m now still in my 30s and have the body of a car crash victim! It was a tough decision. I hated it. Not only because In my last career I had done a lot of work for the mines and I knew that the mining industry was a sh*tshow. But also because, like you said it’s all safety and sh*t. I’d stepped out of a 15 year career where it was hard, full on, dangerous and no mucking around and got into a job where everyone is standing around for 45 minutes smoking and talking sh*t because we’re waiting for a signature on a piece of paper. Adapting to the mining life was really hard. But not because the work was hard, but way too easy. And even the most simple of tasks are far more complicated than they should be. It’s almost like they don’t even want you to work in case you get hurt. 😂 But you know, it’s really not all bad. The shop prices at our site, even smokes are pretty much the same as Coles and woollies. The food is actually really good. The camp is quite comfortable. Everyone gets along great. The newer rooms are great. Although it is strict, it’s not too insane. There’s cameras everywhere but eyes aren’t on you 24/7. Swearing is a lot more looser than some other places. So long as you’re not swearing while (being caught) defaming someone, it’s pretty relaxed. The 2.2 roster works out awesome because when I was concreting, I was lucky to be home 8 days a month. And when I was home I was always injured, chronically fatigued and getting ready to go away again in a day or two. My wife hated it, so the family life has actually improved dramatically! Being in a loader on a regular basis is good too as it breaks the monotony. Our supervisors are awesome and pretty easy to get along with (but not so much the managers), And I think the biggest benefit is that there’s no snitches. We all share a good mateship, we can all talk to each other in confidence because most of all, as you also said. Nobody wants to be there. Everyone hates it and it’s that mutual hatred that keeps everyone together. 😂 Great video mate! Keep up the good work! 🤙🏻

Beautiful capture mate👍 stunning landscape👌

Great presentation as per usual.
