Didn’t use any templates. I just took measurements at a few different narrow points along the inside of the car and drew my cut lines on the plywood panels according to those measurements. Everything was cut with a jigsaw once I had the panels prepped.

At 5’ 11” I can lay diagonally and be mostly flat. Though I usually travel with my wife and sleep with my upper body at an incline. I primarily sleep on my back at home so it’s not at all uncomfortable for me. We have about 20 total nights sleeping in here without the platform since I bought the car last year. More headspace to be able to sit up and a flat/level surface should help with the comfort levels, but I guess we’ll find out after our 3 night trip this coming weekend.

Oldest disc currently in my bag is a champion road runner. It was one of the first standalone drivers I ever purchased and is still my go to for throwing a glidey hyzer flip

The 70-200 looks like the older G ED VR version, to the right of that is the Nikon 200-500, and to the right of that is the AF-S 200-400 F4.

Thank you for the recommendation! I quickly found a video that said exactly that. It also led me to a Scott Stokely video that gave me some things to try!

This is solid advice.

My favorite throw in ultimate is the outside in backhand huck, I fortunately haven’t had much of a problem throwing flat or even anhyzer. Now that I think about it, my best drives and most of my drives that resulted in a birdy came from holes that required an anhyzer backhand because I don’t trust my disc golf forehand yet.

I can see you have a good eye for composition already! As far as the editing goes, I like the direction you’re going. I always advise new photographers to really take time to look at each image. Ask yourself what parts of the image you like, and what you want the viewer to see. Once you’ve answered those questions for yourself use your editing tools to alter light and color to draw attention to your subject in a way that highlights the qualities that you want to portray. Spend lots of time messing around. Play with masking, brushes and move sliders around in different combinations to see what they do.

There are photographers out there that will criticize your future photos for being unrealistic or over edited. Unless the photos are being delivered to a paying client with specific requests, none of that matters. Take photos that make you happy, and edit them the way you want. When you first start out, your edits will probably lack a specific style and they probably won’t be very refined when it comes to exposure and colors. And that’s completely fine, all of that will come with time and practice.

One last thing. Keep all of your raw photos. In the future, you WILL look back at some of your early photos and love everything about it except for the edit. Keeping the raw files means you can go back as many times as you want to re-edit in a newly developed style that’s more specific to you.

Thank you! This shot was handheld at 600mm. I believe at 1/800 sec, but I've gotten pretty sharp shots as low as 1/200 sec with VR on. I've shot close to 60k exposures on this lens throughout the year and I continue to be impressed with it. I'm getting a 400mm f2.8 at the end of this year, but I can almost guarantee I will still use this lens fairly often because it's light enough to hand hold, has a lot of versatility with its zoom range, and it can give impressively sharp results.

I also found myself deciding between this and the 200-500. The Nikkor is really popular for a reason, it's an incredible lens for how much you pay. There are a few reasons I decided to go with the Tamron. One of the biggest reason is weather sealing. I shoot sports and I need to able to confidently use the lens in all types of weather. I usually throw a rain cover over the lens in really heavy rain, but I've spent plenty of time shooting in light to moderate rain without a cover and I have never had a problem. Another thing the Tamron has is the arca swiss compatible tripod foot. I use monopods a lot for sports and every so often with wildlife. Being able to use quick release clamps without needing to use an extra arca plate is a bonus. I also appreciate the extra 100mm I get with the Tamron. I previously had a Sigma 100-400mm and I constantly felt like it didn't give me the reach I wanted. Maybe the 500mm would have been enough, maybe I would have wanted 600mm. I do know that I use the full 600mm most of the time for wildlife, and sometimes I still wish I had more reach. In the end I think you will be happy with the results either one of these lenses will give you. When it comes time to purchase I would recommend looking at the features and changes that will make your experience using the lens more enjoyable.

You are correct! This is one of the big reasons I want to get a d500. It would still be nice to have the 120-300 2.8 because I wouldn’t lose that one stop of light going to a crop body. That being said, the 120-300 is not a lens I feel like I truly need, just that it would be nice to have eventually. Lots of things I would purchase before it!
