Just wondering how people who are into both photo and video, split between getting stills and filming that proper moment? I do not do any paid work, only family events and travel. I started as stills only and got into video and video editing. I still enjoy doing both stills and video. When looking at my Lightroom Catalog, my image count has gone down from something crazy like 6,000 per year to 1,000 per year, mostly because a good amount of time I am shooting more video. Yesterday (easter), me and the family had a great Easter at home, I started in stills mode, but once my mind switched to video, it never went back to photo, I regrettably do not have that many stills, but do have lots of video. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or system, it seems like photo and video are two different mindsets and its easy to get locked into one.

So like a lot of folks, we're hunkered down for April, maybe beyond. I'd like to experiment with some colored gels today, but I don't have any on hand, and everything online is delayed by at least a week. Anybody have any tips for making CTO and CTB gels using normal household items? This may be a long shot, but I thought I would ask. Thanks!

Some people use photo printing paper instead of film.

I have some interest in shooting 8x10 film. While a simple pinhole camera would be an easy solution, I'm looking for something a little more versatile. I'm think of a "zoom" 8x10 box. Two boxes really one that would slide inside of the other adjusting the angle of view (and the exposure, although that could be somewhat addressed by swapping out different pinholes. It seems to me that this is just a view camera without the bellows and movement. There could even be a lens board to mount lenses instead of a pin hole. Has anybody seen anything like this? I'm always amazed at the amount of knowledge that shows up on this site.
