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.

Unfortunately due to mistakes I made when younger I got divorced and started off here in wa in 2008 with pretty much nothing to my name 15 grand in super , and had to start all over again at 35. my baseball career before that had used any money I had ever made and as a contractor in the old days you had a new super fund every job and the fees ate them mostly away . So after 14 years here ive seen it go form a great place with fantastic highly skilled people to a very depressing place with 80% unskilled workers all because of the ne owner that brought us out 11 years ago. My super is now good and my family has a nice house that we are paying off . and a 6 year old to pay bills as well sees me not wanting to leave as all I can get somewhere els his back on the tools . but as a dad my priorities are supporting my family and giving him the best options I can like my mum and dad gave me . I couldn't do that anywhere else unfortunately so ive decided to sacrifice myself for the family and I can live with that . glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate you saying hi 😊

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....😊

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?

Hi there sorry for delay enjoying a nice holiday for the first time in a long time with family. yes if you are permanent depending on company you should keep your own room , depending on roster ours has changed so only 2/1 swing staff keep their permanent room and no one else can go in it while you are out on r&r which is a nice feeling . after 3months straight holidays they can kick you out of that room which happened to me after 7 years in th zone room and i had my son so had 3 months off and only 1 week over and i had to store all my stuff in cupboards and get a whole new room which is older and not as nice but at least mine now . shorter rosters they generally will HOTEL your room for shut staff and ive heard some bad stories especially if cleaners are crap on site as well .

@kylepenman98028 ай бұрын
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! 🤙🏻
