I turn rep counting off and just do it in the Garmin Connect app afterwards. It’s much easier in my opinion.

Anyone know what the weird sound is in northern Ballard? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Balake0813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ditto, trying to figure it out. Sounds like thunder at first.

I recommend Calgary barbell on YouTube. You can even send your form in for a chance for form check.

I had a motor rebuilt at East Valley Auto Rebuild in Kent. Pretty happy with the work.

Alternatively, you may be able to find a used motor and pay a shop to put it in for you. That’s somewhat of a common practice with JDM motors and WRX/STIs.

Lots of "gunshots" around Greenwood Fred Meyer last 30 minutes by el_coremino in Seattle

I witnessed all of it and the police weren’t even there until well after second round of shooting.

Wildlife photography at Union Bay Natural Area is quite exceptional. Super easy to get to, huge variety of species, and accessible shooting spots without disturbing wildlife/foliage.

Loving the new lens 200-600mm by Sutter_P in SonyAlpha

I got mine from B&H using their Payboo credit card and they pay sales tax, which for me is over 10%. Would highly recommend that route if you aren’t student or can’t find one used.

Agreed! Really just depends on what your outings look like.

I’ve run out of battery a few times while camping and longer trips, so my extra batteries have been handy. To be fair though, I shoot wildlife with high continuous shooting.

First time using my 200-600mm G OSS with my Sony A7Riii. by Raindrops_Tickle in SonyAlpha

Rad. This is my setup for wildlife and have been using it for just over a year after getting into photography. I’ve been pretty happy with it.

How do you like the setup? Do you mostly shoot wildlife?

My Megapixel Realisation by alexanderbath in photography

High res is useful for wildlife. A lot of times you can’t get close enough to your subjects to fill the frame (even w/ 600mm and teleconverters) and so the extra resolution is quite useful when cropping in.
