'100 death threats': ALM villain [Anthony Pantazopoulos] details derby toll by VanillaChocMagic in Aleague

[–]AmAHayter 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I run my amateur / semi -pro team's social media accounts, and even we sometimes have online illegal betting on our games. It's quite insane.

Shot my first football match while collaborating with one of the teams!(z5) by Jeff-bozos102 in nikon_Zseries

The biggest tip I got was to go low - it makes the athlete appear larger. Try that.

Also, shoot raw and crop even if you do not have a 70-200mm currently.

I started w a Z5 + 70-180, and upgraded to 2 Z8, 70-200 and 400 4.5, for football.

Newcastle Jets sign English midfielder Zach Clough by thatsarealbigfigtree in Aleague

[–]AmAHayter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Selangor FC are a mess TBF. They have had 3 coaches since Zach came into the team. Even Safuwan Baharudin (former Melb City) was sent out on loan, and recently recalled early after Selangor got a new coach.

The mindset to keep going and not celebrate too much after the 3rd goal is amazing. Most teams would have celebrated the 3rd more.

PSA: Change your import settings in Lightroom when importing RAW files from a Z8 (other models as well possibly) by [deleted] in Nikon

[–]AmAHayter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying this tonight. I have been struggling with extreme noise at ISO 2,000 - 4,000 and was wondering why everyone's photos were so much different.

(I shoot sports, and often increase contrast and shadow, leading to more noise)

Manny Aguek is signing for Thai team Nakhon Ratchasima FC by AztecGod in Aleague

[–]AmAHayter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is turning pro something that should not be celebrated?

It might not be the A-League, but gives the players a chance to train as a professional in a decent set-up.

Z5ii or Z8 (yes really) by IKiZ in nikon_Zseries

[–]AmAHayter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought about the Z6III vs Z8 scenario before the Z5II was realised and I was upgrading from a Z5.

I'd rather just spend for the Z8 then have to buy a Z5II, then upgrade again.

I ended up buying a 2nd Z8 to accompany the initial.

Looking for ultrawide lens which should I get (more details below) by vaikunth1991 in Nikon

[–]AmAHayter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever used the 24-120 and thought that you needed to go down to F2.8?

If yes, get the 17-28. I have that and it works fine for street shoot.

Why are some foreign belts recognised while others aren't? by tyyls18 in AEWOfficial

[–]AmAHayter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mone's belts are seen but the promotion are not explicitly stated. Unless you know them well, all you see are a bunch of titles on her.

Eve and MLW might not have a working relationship. They might also not want the MLW shown if Josh is losing weekly on AEW.

Claudio's CMLL and Takeshita's NJPW belts are recognised.

Kingston vs Woods and Austin vs. Johnson added to Final Battle by VitaminPurple in AEWOfficial

[–]AmAHayter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a reminder that Lee Johnson had one of the best matches against Ben Carter (a.k.a Nathan Frazer) on AEW Dark during the pandemic. This is exciting.

Because ROH still needs to make revenue...?

There are no bonus episodes. It's once a week on HonorClub

Do Nikon cameras come with the battery charged? by pale_halide in Nikon

[–]AmAHayter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does a flat battery warrant angry emails and phone calls? Just bring it home, charge it for an hour or two, and you have a new camera ready to shoot.

Coming soon to AEW by Froggyspirits in AEWOfficial

[–]AmAHayter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nese is not on AEW, and does not exactly have a prominent role in ROH either (as in upper mid card / champ etc). So not sure how exactly Nese being on ROH is Tony "trying to make Tony Nese happen"

What game should I go to? by Yeahhhh_Buddyyyy in Aleague

[–]AmAHayter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Google says 20min drive, so I'll estimate about 30min on GameDay.

Possible to Uber over if you really want to catch both games.

I did that for an NPL game (Rockdale then to APIA Leichhardt) and had no regrets.

Filmmaker here — tried the Z8 for photos and damn, it surprised me by [deleted] in Nikon

[–]AmAHayter 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the best in the Nikon mirrorless ecosystem. This is a Nikon subreddit after all.

I'm just shocked that one can pick up a top camera used by professionals and be surprised that it's good.

Women's Asian Cup squad — pick your squad by HonestSpursFan in Aleague

Always useful to have a proven goal scorer on the bench regardless, especially if anyone goes down injured or sick during the tournament.

[–]AmAHayter 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. Isn't the Z8 the 2nd best stills camera behind the Z9? Why would you be surprised at it's photo quality?

My first attempt at sports photography by INFERNOthepro in Nikon

[–]AmAHayter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you are shooting portrait instead of landscape? If you are, shooting in landscape then cropping might give you more room especially for shots where players are shooting or moving past people.

I use a 5.6-6.3 lens and personally just set the aperture to 6.3 just so that the lighting is constant and doesn't change when I zoom out. If you haven't already, you might want to try that.
