What are possible employment opportunities for wildlife photographer in India?

Hello,

One of my friends is a pretty good photographer, he took some pretty awesome photos when he was in Kanha national park. he wants to be a wildlife photographer. so can you help?

Also can you tell rough salary which a wildlife photographer gets.

Best regards

Ritchie Michael

Getting into wildlife is difficult. You can do it for fun at first, then sell photos to smaller magazines, and maybe after a long while National Geographic might see his work, MIGHT like it, and MIGHT ask to hire him...in 30 years.

Some photography jobs are really difficult to get a well paying job in. Also, how awesome were the photos?
[Off-topic] dexter93:
professional wildfire photography? Salary? in order to get these two together you must be VERY good and VERY VERY lucky .. specially if you are heading for National Geographic...

generally pro photography is difficult... little job opportunities except than weddings etc..

Writing articles and taking the pictures for them. Need some heavy hitting diplomas and some teaching jobs, but... Still probably easier than doing it the portfolio route
[Off-topic] henneph:
Simple answer you don't ;P

if you want to be a photographer, i would suggest you to spent around a 1000 euro, on a beginner camera, you can take some really good photos with them.

But if you want to be a professional, you need to invest at least 2000-3000 euro on a camera, and a full photoshop :cool:
[Off-topic] jaszek:
And this is where you're wrong. You don't need to buy 1000s worth of gear to be a pro. You just need to learn to use your gear and sell your images. I hate how society doesn't know what the definition of professional is. You only buy gear to make your life easier.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
If you want to be a pro, you have just to be very good at capturing photos and also be a good seller. The equipment you will not make you a pro. ;)

And if you think I'm wrong take a look at Magnum. There are guys there that shot great photos with a really cheap equipment
[Off-topic] henneph:
trust me, for one who studied photography, it makes a huge differense, mostly just beacuse we are to nerdy xD

that's true, but to become a pro you will need the equipment, thats one of lifes evil circles ;P
[Off-topic] dexter93:
My advice: take a camera. Any camera that you like , it doesn't need to be expensive. Now go out and start shooting, stick it on Auto and just frame and press the button.. If you like what you see , go take some theory lessons -just the basics on how to properly function the camera in various lightning conditions. Usually photography/ culture clubs offer that in a small price, or learn through internet and books. Then go out and shoot some more. If you really like what you see, go ahead... And never stop shooting
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I'm not sure you understand what you posted before.Basically what you said: To be a photographer, spend $1000, to be a professional, spend a lot more thousands of dollars. And I can care less if you studied photography. I never took a photography class, yet I am able to sell my photos. I know gear makes a difference in photos, but you don't need expensive gear to take a great shot.
[Off-topic] henneph:
exactly, it's mostly about experience, and getting out there, and experiment with what you got :P personally i just like the feeling of a prof camera ;P
[Off-topic] dexter93:
Sure, but you can't advise someone to go and spend some thousands $$ to become a pro. He will first have to get something basic and if he ever feels the need to upgrade, let him do it.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I would thank you, but you have more than me. I think I need to start posting in the device forums. lol

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beironxx:
Hello everyone!!!

I know you guys can help me with one very strange problem i have on my I9000 with ISC 4.0.3

My phone does not want to play ringtone preview tone, that is when I would like to chose one ringtone from another it does not play a preview sound, it it just silent.

I have checked if i have accidentally muted any of volumes but I did not - see screenshot please.

Problem occurred after application asked me which default device I would like to use for playing sounds. At that point I have chose application called (Music) which I think is default system application.

After searching via forums I have found advice to "Clear defaults" settings for this "Music" application. But problem is that "Music" application does not appear in application list where I could clear defaults.

Sorry If I was not clear enough, If you need any further information to help me solve my unpleasant issue please do not hesitate to ask. There are also some screenshoots I have made to better understand my problem.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,

Wanted to ask if any users face the same issue.

Refer to attached screenshot.

There is a black bar on the left side as the page was not properly shown. Right side was partially cut off as well. This happened rather frequently until I moved the page a little.

Is this a problem with the market app or my phone? Anyone knows?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Excelsior82:
I had this on .62FW yesterday. In fact, if you look carefully, this screen shouldn't be shown here. It's showing you "top paying apps" in the "featured" selection.

I guess it's a small bug from market.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataraxy:
Yes, you're right! It's on the wrong page! ! Mine is still on .42 fw though..

If it's the problem of the app, then guess we'll just have to wait for their next update.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mantorrix:
Hello,

I need some help to get the new ICS update. I have a TF101 (no G), serial B80, with firmware HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.6.23.

Previously I was on 8.6.6.19 and used razorclaw to root it. Then I have done the wipe data, and installed 8.6.6.23.

When I boot with Power and Vol- then Vol+ to enter RCK mode I get the green android guy with exclamation mark.

When I boot with Power and Vol-, then Vol+ I get 2 options: Wipe data and android cold boot.

I used some apps to test if the device is root and they say no.

Sorry for my english, but it's not my main language.

Any idea to fix this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
The 8.6.6.23 is firmware for the 3G model. You will not see OTA since ICS is not released for G model yet.

You can try to manually install 8.5.6.21. You could also try rooting and installing cwm recovery and flash the ICS ROM
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mantorrix:
Thanks for the answer. I've searched around and it seems that I can't get back to 8.5.6.21.

When I try to install it I get the android guy with exclamation point.

I guess I have to wait for ICS on 3G model
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Easiest way is to root, install CWM recovery and flash an ICS ROM. Either the stock rooted ROM or one of the many custom ROMs
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexlarson011:
I was in a similar situation. The ASUS recovery did not work for me either and I couldn't figure out how to install CWM. There is not a lot of help for noobs with B80s and with all the methods out there it was a challenge to find the correct one. Here's what I did:

1. If you are not rooted, follow the instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427838 to get rooted. I had updated to the .21 firmware, and at that point, the nachoroot method is the only option. I had some trouble connecting ADB, but eventually I got it to work. This was the most difficult part of the process.

2. Install CWM. I was having trouble with this using the ASUS recovery, and I think it has to do with B80 models. I found the app in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 and it is amazing. If you are rooted, it installs CWM even on the B80 versions. The custom recovery will allow you to install any rom.

3. Download the option B ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514658. Place the zip on your SD card. This rom is the ASUS stock ICS firmware with root. Contrary to what some have said--I noticed a huge difference with ICS!

3. Backup all your user apps and data with Titanium Backup (optional). Do not back up system data, just user apps if you want to keep them.

4. Open your recovery. Shut the tablet off, and boot into recovery by holding down the power button and the volume down button until you are prompted to boot into recovery by pressing volume up. Pressing volume up should load CWM.

5. Wipe and then install! To wipe, select "wipe" on the recovery menu. Then wipe all data, cache, and dalvik-cache. To install, select install zip from SD card and find the zip file you downloaded in step 3.

Best of luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreadKing:
Hi,

may i hook in here, i've got a similar problem:

i TRY to get in adb mode, but it doesn't work as expected:

i used this thread initially (ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22), i downloaded the toolkit, connected my turned off tab to the pc, booted via Power + vol up, it got connected to windows and i installed the drivers. so far so good. BUT: if i start adb server and use adb device, i dont get any devices listed... i cant do anything. And when i use this nvflash method with the download.bat file, i get an error and the usb connection vanishes... i dont have any further ideas what to do. but i can boot afterwards normaly to 3.2.1, though i dont get any updates :(

any hints? Thanks for reading anyways

thanks, DK

[edit] i have the version HTK75.DE_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216 installed [/edit]
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
What you did was put your tablet into APX mode. That's only good if you're doing NVFLash not ADB.

To use ADB just have yourtablet on like normal with USB debugging turn on
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreadKing:
Hi,

thanks for your fast reply, you are right. i got my adb device id when beeing in the os, so this works. but, trying to use nvflash/Brk's Asus TF RootKit over apx, i got the initial connection, but when i want to flash it looses the connection or dies or something... no idea what :(

you got any hints how i can come back to a clean version, which is upgradable?

thx & best regards,

dk

this is the program output btw:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mantorrix:
Thanks! This worked for me. Thank you sir! Everything worked fine and I'm now on ICS!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] baga255:
I installed AOSP ICS beta for Neo the other day, and saw some ports of the on-screen buttons for back,home,and recent apps. that's awesome, but it takes up a whole lotta screen space. I love the recent apps button, and would love it integrated with the system UI without taking up screen space. Any chance of devs acomplishing that? (maybe integrate it with the status bar, or some hot corner or something)

i hate long-pressing the home button to use that function :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
Use 29dpi On screen button ;)

Very small and dont come in your way at all :)

I got accustomed to it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] baga255:
Tried it :) even tried the 25dpi one, but i can't shake the feeling that it's taking up screen real-estate. For example, when i play a video in landscape mode, it's still there, and i dont wanna look at it while watching a video. Also having 2 home and back buttons is kinda absurd xD but just the recent apps button, that's out of your way, would be neat

Hey guys im having issues sending files to other devices it fails.for example ' the file was not sent to galaxy s2

File: /mnt/sdcard/songs/white stripes --seven nation army (the glitch mob remix).mp3

Failure reason: this transfer was canceled by the user.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D2Dchris:
Mp3 files are cancelled by the phone. The mp3 type files can't be shared since android doesn't allow that, it has something to do with copyrights and label companies. A way to transfer mp3 over bluetooth is to rename the file extension to something else like song.txt after transfer you can rename the extension back to song.mp3. You can use es file explorer to rename the files. Others ways to transfer mp3 to another phone is by computer (just connect both phones) or by an app called "wifi file transfer" by antosdr.

As the title above,

I'm concerning about wheather the simultaneous HD video and image recording and video stabilization that mention in the latest HTC's device,HTC One X wiill come with sense 4.0 or not.

Under the Htc One S specification,there is video stabilization features under camera section.

So the main thing that make me concern is about does the features comes from sense 4.0??Or the feature only apply on Htc One series??

If is very annoying that you are capturing your fun moment with shaky condition.:(
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
I could have all this mixed up but, the HTC One series have HTC's new Imagechip technology. So unless the camera stabilizing thing is just some software, I dont think it will be a Sense 4.0 feature.

[HTC Desire S] J0ro:
Hi! This is my case: I unlocked bootloader using the htcdev.com method, then rooted it using Super Tool v3. I checked if everything worked fine - entered the bootloader - it says UNLOCKED, installed terminal and typed su - superuser was allowed. Then I wanted to flash a custom rom - I downloaded it, placed it on the sdcard and then rebooted into recovery. Here comes the problem - instead of entering into recovery mod , the phone just stays on the white HTC logo screen and I can do nothing but remove the battery and put it back on. I tried installing ROM manager and flashing recovery from there but nothing changed.. Then I tried 4EXT recovery - it didn't help either. Can you tell me what should I do to be able to enter recovery mode?

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Are you any good with ADB/fastboot?

Here is a good guide for setting it up it you don't know how to use it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272595

You could try pushing the recovery to the phone with this fastboot command:

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
[HTC Desire S] J0ro:
I tried that method and no effect... and I'm pretty sure I did everything right - uninstalled HTC Sync and then installed SDK and google usb drivers, then entered cmd and entered that command in fastboot mode.

The only thing I haven't tried is S-OFF my phone but for now I prefer not to do it because I have to downgrade my HBOOT.

Great job! I am a fan of your roms and your ICS v9.0 has been running very smooth. Only glitch I've experienced was not being able to handle call waiting (unsure if it was rom related or carrier), and in the videos app when you select a tab it stays highlighted even if go to another one. So if you switch between all three tabs in video the whole top bar stays lit.

But enough of the sidetrack, what I was really hoping for, if you have time and/or the heart, would you be able to make a no increasing ringtone with noise suppression left untouched?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Did you use this on the 10.2?

I tried to use Drorsi "How To" to revert, but I couldn't.

I found the line, but is different:

on his is: v8, v3, v9

but on your apk is v0, v1, v1

I tried to put v8, v3, v9 back but it didn't work... FC all the time!

I'm using APKTool...

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Another try:

add:

.local v3, noise_reduction:Z

Replace 1st v1 for v3

No go too...

I think I'm having some trouble with apktool... not sure i'm using right...

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Another try:

Got the classes.dex

baskmali

add:

.local v3, noise_reduction:Z

Replace 1st v1 for v3

smali

replace classes.dex on .apk

FC all the time...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ciceroripi:

But now my apks is working... just with NR disable....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wanam:
I will use this second solution next time so you can revert.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ciceroripi:
Tks! That wold be great!

But just to be sure we are on the same page:

1-) What's the best way to decompile/compile

a) apktool (then I use apk-multi-tool to sign)

b) remove classes.dex from apk, baskmali, chage, smali, put new classes.dex on the old apk

c) some other way: please, do explain(simple as b, a'll try to cacth up)

2- 2º solution is?

a)

#add:
.local v3, noise_reduction:Z
#Replace to this
invoke-static {v0, [COLOR="Red"]v3[/COLOR], v1}, Lcom/android/phone/PhoneUtils;->turnOnNoiseSuppression(Landroid/content/Context;ZZ)V

b)

From

Code:
.line 971
const/4 v3, 0x1
.line 975
.local v3, noise_reduction:Z

to

Code:
.line 971
const/4 v3, 0x0
.line 975
.local v3, noise_reduction:Z

Problem with this solution: this line

.local v3, noise_reduction:Z

Don't exists on your code

c) If you explain I'll do it your way, no problem...

One other thing: You can make avaliable the original phone.apk... I'll change the pngs so it gets the ICS look...
