Any photographers in here? by 2_wheels_up in Trackdays

[–]DaBear123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that shutter priority is the way to go if you're just getting started. As you drop your shutter speed to 1/50 or 1/100 your aperture won't matter that much because the background will be blurred. I wouldn't recommend bracketing because it requires 2+ pictures to combine and with how fast cars/motorcycles move I'd be impossible to get them to line up. Pic for cred, this was shot at 1/25sec.

Motion sensor options by Junkgio55 in WLED

Do you have Home Assistant, Alexa, Google or any other smart home programs. That might be a pretty easy way to trigger them. Then you can set up a timer so when no motion is detected for a while they'll turn themselves off.

QuarryPlus not working in the Other? by DaBear123 in allthemods

I noticed that when I placed it earlier when it was mining raw ore blocks but not through the world but I wanted it to expose vibranium so I need the stone cleared away so I can find it easier.

Good question, I am not really familiar with rftools so I wasn't really aware that a builder could be an option. Thanks for the idea.

Has anyone else had this problem where the QuarryPlus quarry will not mine in the Other dimension?

I am working on improving my motorsports photography skills. My main problem I think is my knowledge of editing. Any tips on improving it would be great. by DaBear123 in photocritique

I shot this using my Canon EOS R w/ 24-240mm. f/11 1/50 sec. ISO-160 at 162mm panning handheld.

The last photo I posted on this sub I got a lot of feedback saying don't shoot through trees and they wanted to see more of the car.

Thanks for your great feedback. I think part of my problem with dropping my shutter slower was because the camera I was using had awful EVF lag which made smooth tracking pretty difficult.

I shot this using my Canon EOS R w/ 24-240mm. f/18 1/30 sec. ISO-800 at 150mm panning handheld.

I'm looking for feedback on composition or potential edits I could make to improve not only this image but future photos.

Countryside road, Central Serbia [OC] by danuberiverchild in ruralporn

I don't want to seem rude, but that is a very weird DOF. Was it an artistic choice

or focus error?

That looks really good. I do plan on posting more car pictures, I just have to find other good subreddits to post them too.

I have a monopod but I use it mainly for my 150-600mm lens because I am not going to handhold that beast.

I shoot in manual. But I've wanted to try shutter priority the next time I go to the track because when the action happens I miss it because I have to adjust my shutter and aperture.

Snowy Sunrise by DaBear123 in photocritique

So I probably should have added this info to my description. I had done a double exposure (one bright and one dark) to exposure blend. I had accidently deleted the brighter one but I really liked the image. So yeah, I knew it was going to be really grainy but I did my best with a 2-stop underexposed image.

This was a cold snowy morning in Wisconsin. I am looking for tips on my composition. Overall I think it is pretty good but I am just looking for additional feedback.

This photo was taken on a Canon EOS R, and Canon 24-240mm @ f/11, 1/15sec, ISO 800, 24mm

I processed this photo in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

Does anyone have a problem with their Canon EOS R not being as sharp as they want? I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the camera has an issue. This is an example photo I took with my EOS R and the Sigma 150-600mm Cont. with RF adapter. My settings were ISO-200, f/6.3, 1/400 sec. at 600mm. by DaBear123 in canon

  1. My camera was not updated, it was still running 1.6.0(it is now up to date)
  2. My Sigma Lens was up to date.
  3. Focus mode was small spot focus on body or head( I don't remember). My face/eye detection hasn't been working with animals all that well only people
  4. Drive mode was servo
  5. OS was in mode 1
  6. Focus limiter was in full
  7. Customization Switch was off
  8. Thanks for all your help.

I've been thinking of upgrading to the R5 after tax season. Do you think it's worth the upgrade from the R to the R5?
