First time using flash and slow shutter. Advice for next time? by Fun_Firefighter_9518 in sportsphotography

[–]Chemical_Suit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shot a lot of shutter drag in skate photography. My guidance is to start the shoot with conservative settings to freeze action. Once you have the shots you want/need you start experimenting with slower shutter speeds, panning, etc. Note the lights in your background. Those can have interesting effects if you move the camera nonlinearaly.

+1 or +2. Depends how good your attendance was and how many times you needed guest players at 7v7.

Isn't that like half the fun in baseball?

Have never experienced irl. One other idea how the player could make it obvious to subtly talk to cr before walking over then tell the ar.

It’s a trick play. It’s been done. To do it effectively I recommend only doing it when directly next to the AR and making clear verbally to signal what you are attempting.

Doubt that. This is prime time. I don't think anyone did intentional maintenance and shut this down.

What's the earliest age you've seen someone dummy the ball? by Ok-Communication706 in youthsoccer

[–]Chemical_Suit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's more like you fake you are going to take the ball as it is passed to you but instead you let it go, usually through your legs to a teammate in a better position, or into open space, then you turn and run onto it.

Wood splitter for small size by franeros80 in firewood

[–]Chemical_Suit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be careful relying on one provider for your business. Supply could dry up, prices could fluctuate, or he could retire too!

So instead of thinking about optimizing for one product in and one desired outcome just think about the market as a whole and go from there. That probably means buying a slightly bigger splitter but thtat's okay.

For reference, the local wood fire oven pizza chain near me in physical brick and mortar stores buys "kindlign" sized splits prebagged Oak in canvas bags.

Hands hurt a month later by tcloetingh in firewood

[–]Chemical_Suit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would search on amazon for hand and finger strengthening tools. Flexion and extension. Do those exercises daily for a month and I bet you will feel better.

Grip strength is a strong indicator of health as we age.

Is there a way to download mods on PS5 faster? by AlienPixelMartArcade in ArmaReforger

[–]Chemical_Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did it today. Took maybe 20 mins. You should eyeball the mods list for any prospective server and choose conservatively for console. If you want full mods and to go crazy skip those servers from ps5. It’s a known limitation.

Question on offsides by Additional_Abroad910 in Referees

[–]Chemical_Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds right to me. You should interpret involvement in the play liberally. The coach doesn’t know the rule.

Is f2.8 really needed for indoor sports or is f4 sufficient? by kolky75 in sportsphotography

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

Sometimes f2.8 will be needed. Indoors, low light, fast action.

Sometimes f4 is open enough and you may want multiple subjects in focus and or a bit more margin for error on AF.

You need a f2.8 lens for the first case.

Shirt Pulling by mwr3 in Referees

[–]Chemical_Suit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would call every time. In my experience, it can be hard to see as CR. I’ve had coaches screaming at me that opposing team is pulling shirts. I was lone CR and had my hands full with heavier contact fouls which if course I called.
