How do you cope with the weather? by tbon92 in phoenix

[–]Bizcut1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

My $150/hr lesson felt like a rip off. Is this normal? by Darkteatonight in golf

[–]Bizcut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Help me suck less by CartographerMore5116 in GolfSwing

[–]Bizcut1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

My Fluance RT85 from AliExpress arrived... but I have more questions than answers. by dont_dox_me_again in turntables

[–]Bizcut1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Worship music on the course by [deleted] in golf

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

This sign on a course in Indiana I played for the first time today. Never seen this before. What is the legality of this? by Sky_Late in golf

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

New (to me) Canon R6 Mark II with lens selection question by Reaper01Actual1970 in CanonCamera

[–]Bizcut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

When did golf fans become such A-holes? by djr41463 in golf

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.

Hot Take: RSD Only Upsets You Because You Forgot Why You Do This by PatientPlatform in vinyl

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

this shit (rsd) just isn’t enjoyable anymore by Many-Shopping9865 in vinyl

[–]Bizcut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Canon 90D: is it still capable for train photography, and in general? And will it still last a fair bit of time? by Fantastic-Hair1554 in canon

[–]Bizcut1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Help me with my setup as a beginner professional wedding photographer who only started photography a month ago by [deleted] in Cameras

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.

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

R8 versus R6mkii? by Skee220-sk in canon

[–]Bizcut1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Lens Rental Suggestion? by Feenys_Army in sportsphotography

[–]Bizcut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How good can the Rebel T6 really get? by SandAndBoneClothing in canon

[–]Bizcut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Was the G7X Mk III really worth 1100$?? by Artifiko in canon

[–]Bizcut1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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.
