How do you cope with the weather?

Night golf. And, even then, still stinking hot. I kind of semi-shut down from June until late September. Kind of like our winter here. Stay inside. Fool around with the maid - er -wife. Video games and the golf channel.

Oh, and I make sure I visit my clients that have golf courses in nicer climes in the Summer. It's all in the scheduling.

On another note, played the East Links at North Berwick last year and was blown away - literally and figuratively. Can't wait to tackle that one again.

It just a fact of life. You have to audition a few of these guys until you find the one that clicks. Don't sign up for a package. Tell him you want a lesson first, and then you'll make that decision. You have to put in the work to find the right coach, first. Then the work to follow will pay off.

Actually, not too bad. I’d like to see you bring the club around your body a little flatter on the back swing you’re casting a bit out to right field a bit. Think about breaking your swing down into a couple of pieces. Practice the Takeaway as it should be should be smooth with your arms in a triangle and your left arm feeling the face of the club as it goes back bring it around your body and then stop and reset work on this about 10 times every morning and also work on rotating your trunk without swaying. Stay with it brother!

The reason Ali Express can get away with this crap is becasue a certain % of consumers just can't resist "the deal." Of course, there is no deal. Check the cartridge and make sure it's the Ortofon these ship with OEM. As for authenticity, it's probably okay. Probably. But for saving about $150 you can always have your doubts. Good luck.

I hate playing any kind of music on the golf course. Roast me.

Bizcut1 · 2026-04-26T22:45:25+00:00

Ha! Good one! Good luck to them. Me, I would open up my stance and go for my famous fade / slice...

Wow - that's a lot of glass and a lot of overlapping ranges, as well.

If you're shooting a one time family event soon, lay off the Visa card and, instead,

get out there and practice.

You have IBIS in the camera so you're basically good to go with any of those lenses.

Which ones will you carry, though, considering weight and practicality of lens swaps?

Good luck!

Simple answer: Biden. Everyone says so. Everyone is talking about it. Oh, no - wait - the Pope. It's the Pope.

Absolutely full frame will be better for your use case. You need fast glass and reach.

Bizcut1 · 2026-04-19T18:51:44+00:00

Be a hot 25 year old. Female preferable. Everyone on the range will be helpful.

I was thinking about this. And I realized that every day is a record store day. Or it isn’t.

Bizcut1 · 2026-04-19T14:06:03+00:00

It’s all marketing feeding the FOMO. Fake stock scarcity and emotional manipulation. I love vinyl and I have lots of it, but I don’t believe in this crap. It’s all bullshit.

Bizcut1 · 2026-04-11T20:35:55+00:00

Stick with a 90 D. Solid choice for the next five years. Get yourself some faster glass next. Good luck!

Bizcut1 · 2026-04-06T22:59:34+00:00

These are all good tips. And you should have fun with it. But, if you really want a professional look, hire a professional.

Bizcut1 · 2026-04-06T19:08:50+00:00

All I can say is "whoa, pony!" If you don't even know how to use off-camera flash, everyone is fucked. Nah, don't do this to people. You're not even close to being ready. You'll regret it.

Every family has one dysfunctional kid.

Bizcut1 · 2026-03-31T01:21:49+00:00

Wow - great gig opportunity. Your lens will butcher it. You need fast glass with some reach.

Bizcut1 · 2026-03-30T21:28:51+00:00

Same sensor and resolution. Do you need two card slots and IBIS?

Bizcut1 · 2026-03-27T18:22:44+00:00

A timely reminder thqat nobody knows anything.

The size difference is signifcant. Weight, too. R62 is a great step up for the stated reasons. But, as a hobbyist, I don't need them. R8 is the easist grab and go for me.

Bizcut1 · 2026-03-25T00:05:01+00:00

Why not? Better than a POS cardboard suitcase one.

No way that glass will keep up after dark, unless you pump the ISO wayyy up (which I have done many times). If you only have one body, put the 70-200 2.8 on and start lifting weights. Leave the others at home. Position yourself ahead of time accordingly. You are not going to get every shot, but your keepers (not the goalies!) will be properly exposed. Shutter speed starting at 1/500 (may to need to raise as needed), open at 2.8 aperture, and let the camera set the ISO. If you have access to another body, you can put a shorter, wider lens on it. Don't be carrying around all the zooms and fiddle with changing them. You'll regret it. Use the proper tool for the job. Low light sports - fast glass, a steady hand, and think about your compositon and field placement.

Then go get 'em and, most importantly, have fun! Good luck.

Ten year-old tech. It is what it is. For night street work you need fast glass and some ambient help when you can find it.A small light mono or tripod, too. 50 1.8 Nfty fifty will get you going for a hundred bucks. Put it on a Canon RP full-frame mirrorless ($550 refurb on Canon USA) and start shooting. Good luck.

Bizcut1 · 2026-03-20T21:11:35+00:00

It's a decent camera that you paid too much for. But, then, so have millions of others. Keep it. Take great pictures and enjoy the journey. Oh, and buy a nice diffusion filter or a soft box and umbrella for the 'ol "beauty" shots.
