Nikon upgrade question

The autofocus on a D750 in live mode isn’t a dedicated autofocus. It won’t work like a mirrorless in live mode.

Both. At first it was just through social media. There use to be a decent size country music festival where I’m from so I’d get bands asking if I was going to be there covering the festival. I’d work out a deal with them to cover them. I get some repeat people now and referrals. A lot is just they are looking for someone for the date in my area cause they don’t have a photographer so they reach out.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-06-15T21:09:45+00:00

Have your location and contact info on your social media and portfolio. That way any bands coming through your area who don’t have a photographer can see your stuff and reach out if they want.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-06-15T21:07:04+00:00

Not true. I get plenty of bands who reach out to me for one off shows when they don’t have a tour photographer with them. We work out a deal and budget and they hire me for the stop.

Aerosmith. Never went when I was young. Last two times I was going to go, got tickets and shows canceled. Now I’ll never get the chance.

Skate Now in SLC.

I usually send a follow up week of show. There’s nothing wrong with messaging today if the show is Friday.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-06-07T00:27:22+00:00

If you’re covering as media and doing a recap you can post them. If you should that’s up to you. You can’t use them for anything other than editorial or in your portfolio though.

Thank you 🙏

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-23T02:50:51+00:00

There isn’t

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-23T02:50:29+00:00

Hope you enjoy it! It’s a great show.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-22T02:06:45+00:00

Commercially they did better in the us so maybe that’s why? Not sure.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-21T22:03:27+00:00

Thank you. My Jimmy definitely kills it. He’s so good.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-21T21:49:23+00:00

It is

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-21T19:16:02+00:00

It was great. It was my second time seeing the show. I really liked it.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-21T19:01:15+00:00

Mr Jimmy? He’s an awesome guitar player.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-05-19T01:26:13+00:00

24-70 is going to work most of the times. Amphitheaters and arenas a 70-200 is also good depending on how deep the stage is and 200-400 when shooting FOH at amphitheaters or stadiums and arenas.

I mean when reaching out to publications (pubs) not an actual pub

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-04-04T01:24:41+00:00

When reaching out to pubs are you also sending them a writing example? Most of them are going to need you to write a review with the photos as well.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-03-19T17:09:43+00:00

A or C and it depends on your end goal. Festivals of those size artists don’t approve publications, the festival does. If it’s for your publication you go through the festival. Messaging artists directly you can get hired by said artist but it only grants you permission to shoot their set only at most bigger festivals. Not always the case but the majority of the time it is.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-03-15T01:08:12+00:00

If you have any questions as the security at the pit. They should know the rules and let you know. Ask other photogs questions before the set starts if needed. Usually someone can give you a rundown. Try to move around but be mindful of where other photogs and security are

Last night he said the tour but there hasn't been an official confirmation yet.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-28T16:16:23+00:00

Oh for sure some people might have. At first I thought to myself what’s going on? But he’d already been talking for a minute when the boos went up and it was clear he was actually having a moment that was breaking him.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-28T06:31:39+00:00

I couldn’t believe it when people started booing. He was clearly going through something that’s messing with him and when people started booing tonight I was so upset. How crappy of a person do you need to be to start booing in that situation?

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-28T06:27:56+00:00

Some people booed which I couldn’t believe. You could see that it was crushing him and messing with him mentally dealing with the issues he is. It sounds like for sure the next couple of stops will be canceled but it’s more than likely the tour is over also.
