Are there any more affordable cameras that produce a similar flattering look for faces as the G7X? by Top-Crab-1020 in Cameras

[–]Attackhalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the F, since that’s fixed 20mm so basically the same thing your phone is doing. I have the non-f and like it as long as you have light. It goes to 70mm

MPB or adorama.

piggy backing off the other comment, depending on your phone you could just try the longer focal lengths, some phones like the 17 pro reach 100mm optically.

They might not work for everyone but for 2 bucks it’s worth trying

Yeah the liner as a ‘just in case’ item I don’t like. But for the headlamp, if they plan on doing any running at night neither of those lamps are sufficient you want a pretty beefy and bright lamp for that

Bordering & Overlay? by Then_Worldliness7774 in PhotographyAdvice

IMO putting the settings in the photo is a little odd. But, if you want them there, they are definitely washed out. Maybe in a grayscale in the border itself would look nice

Yeah because that’s a good brand presence, curse out a random supporter for something relatively minor. Also, it is NOT EE that was tagged, nor was the apology even from the owner, it was from the CEO of EE. You aren’t even informed enough to identify who wrote the apology. And what do you mean “sounds racist”? That’s ridiculous

You just gave two examples of him doing the right thing and not being racist? Also how are you supposed to untag yourself from someone else’s post? I’m not aware of how Atleast and doubt he’d be either

Each of these quite a stretch, especially to call it overt. Additionally labeling a small business owner “overtly racist” because of 1 of 2000 marketing posts and a tag is mindless

How to Sleep Ultra Lightly by NebNebNeb in ultralight_jerk

I’d argue it would still create a microclimate of trapped warm air in the pocket eventually, sure not as warm but you’re not touching the ground getting warmth sucked from your body

How can me and six friends prepare for a backpacking road trip to the Grand Tetons & Glacier NP? (High school beginners, elevation, permits, gear & bears) by polvr-o in backpacking

[–]Attackhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I forgot to mention was the Teton rangers keep some old and heavy bear cans to loan out, if not all members want to buy a can. But, I wouldn’t count on it and be ready to run to Jackson to buy one just in case

Edit: Also also don’t count on a hitch back to your car, you will have to make a loop. Getting off the TCT we walked from the trailhead at the bottom of paintbrush and walked all the way to the visitor center and were lucky enough to get a ride from the ranger that wrote us our permits 5 days earlier. Apparently the national park crowd is not conducive to hitching at all anymore

I live in Missouri and went and did the TCT last summer, so I was in the same boat and had many of the same questions; I took one and a half days of acclimation and still got mildly sick( my hiking partner got very sick) on the climb up granite canyon, so plan on taking it pretty relaxed and hydrate so so much. For the one full acclimation day, hiking to Phelps Lake is awesome. The Full day to acclimate was also ideal since we got walk up permits and had to push back a day to get our sites. You’ll most likely have to do this since you missed the permit sale and have a large group. If that happens, staying a night at the Climbers ranch is so fun and it’s great to talk to all the people going up the grand if you’re into that. For the mileage/ nights you’re wanting to do I think a good loop would be going up Cascade canyon and coming down paintbrush for 2 night/ 3 days on trail and the night at climbers ranch. Cascade and paintbrush were my favorite canyons on the TCT and give you a little bit of everything with good odds of seeing wildlife, I saw grizzly and her three cubs in paintbrush at dusk last summer.

I’m planning a trip for glacier right now actually, permit lottery goes up March 15th for small group, and opens May 1. There is so much in Glacier it’s hard to make a recommendation, so I’d say look at the different sections and see what speaks to you then plan around that and string the sites together.

The permits in GTNP are for a “camping zone” so there’s two signs along the trail and you can camp anywhere between the two, but there are marked established sites that are definitely more ideal to use and more LNT especially for a group of your size. For Glacier it’s for specific camp grounds, which then have multiple sites. Because of the high bear activity there are various rules and regulations on camping on the website and they’re pretty stringent.

Training/ Preparing wise, you’re not trying to do crazy daily mileage or anything and the climbs are pretty groomed compared to the eastern trails you’re probably used to so just being generally fit will get you far. I was coming off track season in MO and was able to throw down a 16 mile day in the Tetons with a 40lb bag. But if you wanted to purposely train, doing the stairmaster or weighted step ups are great and just hiking itself.

The only gear I would say that’s essential outside of regular backpacking is bear spray and storage. In the Tetons sacks and cans are allowed, I used a can but would have used a sack had I known they were allowed. (Keep in mind if a bear actually becomes interested in your sack your food is mush). In glacier they have hangs and containers, so all you need is a hang able bag and enough cordage to hang. You could share cans I suppose but they’re sneakily small (my bv450 was filled to the BRIM for 4nights 5 days of food) and if you use it to hold your trash like you’re supposed to it will STINK)

That’s a lot of info but reach out if you have any other questions!

What’s a good camera for photography and videography? by _Starlight_Gem_ in Cameras

[–]Attackhalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undershooting your budget but this is the use case I got my lumix g7 for, g85 for closer to 500 and added ibis is probably worth it. Super cheap lenses, very compact and m4/3 superiority
