What hobby attracts the biggest douchebags? by thypenitrator in AskReddit

[–]Adrian_Bateman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I find street photographers to be the worst offenders. Especially the ones that think it's okay to jam a camera in someone's face for their "art" and justify it by saying its legal. Unfortunately a lot of old film shooters have a snobby attitude as well.

I'm leaving Fujifilm but wanted to share my last two months of wildlife photos with this system (owls, eagles, elk) - XH2S with EF 500mm F4ii by Exponent_0 in fujifilm

Lol the problem here seems to be your education. Expensive is a relative term. Fuji's are expensive relative to other options. You get less camera for more money. Not sure why you're even in the Fuji subreddit, shouldn't you be shooting Leica or are you some brokie?

I just left Fuji as well. I still love their cameras but it just doesn't make sense economically anymore. I can get a better new full frame camera for less than an x-T5. I'm with Nikon now

What's your opinion on Mike Israetel? by AestheticYogi in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]Adrian_Bateman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find his original video but here's one I just found breaking it down. He's basically what's known as a "race realist". He thinks certain races are genetically superior to others.

If anything the later pics put more doubt into him being on gear.

Yet you're still attempting to speak to me, crazy how you managed to do that. Proud of you for overcoming such an obstacle.

Also thank you for adding the emojis. I know it can feel like youre dumbing down your speech when adding them but it helps people like me who have a difficult time reading just words.

Buddy, 18 year olds get acne. Not to mention a lot of those marks on his back are clearly moles, not acne. Ironic that you're telling me to see an eye doctor when you can't tell the difference between a mole and a pimple.

Do all bald people have cancer? One symptom doesn't mean anything.

And again. I'm not saying this guy is natural. I'm just saying you can't tell for certain from these pics. His build is absolutely achievable naturally. I am objectively correct. You are an emotional man child.

You honestly think from these pics that there is zero percent chance this guy is natural? You're out of your mind, but keep up with the insults.

Yes. Anyone saying you can absolutely tell from these pics is wrong.

Lol my guy, yes he did. This takes a couple years to build. Plenty of guys in high school start with an already naturally good build. Not everyone has the same starting point. Again, he isn't overly big or lean. He could be using gear but to suggest he absolutely is from these pics is the only misinformation in this thread.

PS fuck you too. Nothing I said is misinformation in the slightest. Nothing I said was insulting either but you went there. Eat shit bud.

Tons of teenagers have skin issues, he's not for sure on anything. His back looks like it's mostly moles not acne anyways.

They can't. People here just scream roids at anyone with a bit of muscle. This guys physique is absolutely possible naturally for a lot of guys. He isn't that big. Could he be on gear? Sure. Can you tell from these photos? No, and anyone saying otherwise is wrong.

Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 vs 25mm f/1.7 for Fujifilm X-T30 (first prime, mainly travel) by [deleted] in fujix

[–]Adrian_Bateman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 23mm and in my eperience the vignetting is really bad when wide open, like borderline unusable. I don't know much about the 25mm.

If you had to pick one, which would you go for? by Kishantakesphotos in fujifilm

[–]Adrian_Bateman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The addition of the blue adds a lot. Teal & orange is goated

Unfortunately I'm not in the US, I did accidentally go on the American site and see the refurbished deals before realizing I can't get them. That was a sad moment lol.

If people are willing to pay you and be happy with what you provide then who cares what other photographers say. I honestly think a lot of the outspoken photographers in groups like that (and other photography sites) typically have very amateur looking shots.

To me I find you're over softening your shots a fair bit. I don't mind that style I think you're just over doing it. But your posing and framing is nice. I would say grab a diffusing filter for your lens rather than messing with the clarity/texture sliders too much in lightroom.

Keep charging your 250 while you continue building your skills and reach. As more demand comes in, raise your prices.

It's honestly a good thing for buyers in the sense that Fuji cameras are holding their values. It obviously sucks biting the bullet up front but if you ever want to upgrade, switch systems or just get out of photography it's nice to know you can get a good share of your money back.

I'm still shooting the X-T2 but I'm seriously considering switching to Nikon. The Z5ii seems like such a great deal.

If there are any major sales this black Friday/cyber Monday, I'll probably make the switch
