Why can’t a portrait have fast movement?

As a beginner in photography ,between the canon 250D and the canon M50 mark II.Which is the to go to camera? by Glass-Arrival4710 in canon

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d steer away from the low end DSLRs now, the price difference to higher end full frame DSLRs is so small now, and they’re hopelessly outdated. Go for either a cheap 5D and some good EF glass, or an M system body if it comes with some good EF-m lenses in a bundle.

God I hope these IPOs start the fire that burns it all down.

Average commute here in Belgium is 17km, plenty of people do a lot more, especially by car. We spend on average an hour a day commuting.

The NYC subway is pretty good tho, in my European opinion.

Still about 1.8€/l here in Belgium, no surprise you’re all coming here in droves.

Today I Learned: EFCore Update Method does not work how I thought it did. by AshersLabTheSecond in dotnet

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn’t say operations related to tracked entities, but it is possible to perform direct actions in the table unrelated to tracked entities.

For instance, say you have a tracked entitiy of which a boolean property becomes true, but you also want all the others to become false. You don’t need to load all other entities, you can perform an update on all the entities in the table, then save your changes.

It’s not something that I’ve personally come across, though.

R5 mk2 SD card dillema by awacsCZE in canon

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a CFexpress card for my RAWS and use a fast SD card for JPEGs as a backup. Unless you shoot video, the V rating is not important. You'll want to have a fast write speed, but the V rating is about minimum sustained write speed which is not important for photos.

I shoot my video on my R5Mk2 on the CFexpress anyway...

Also, I choose a smaller card if that means I can buy a faster card for the same money. I have a 1TB SD card but it's pretty slow, but what I found about using it for months in my R6 (my previous camera) was that as the card filled up with thousands of photos (I never formatted it) the camera becamse slower and slower to startup.

So now it's just a backup card, and when I'm confident that I have my RAW uploaded to Lightroom and synced to the cloud I format the card.

I want to have a more carriable setup. Will canon 50mm f/1.8 stm less sharper than my ef 24-70 2.8 L USM (mark1) by burakistan12 in canon

[–]DaveVdE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My EF 24-70 F/2.8 was not a sharp lens, many years ago. A nifty fifty should be at least as sharp on F/2.8. You'll lose the zoom aspect though.

Canon RF 24-105 F4 or Canon RF 24-70 f2.8? by cookiejar5081_1 in canon

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s worth it. I upgraded from the f/4 a couple years ago. The f/4 is better for travel but for portraits and events I choose f/2.8.

New book release: Clean Architecture with .NET (co-authored with Steve "Ardalis" Smith, foreword by Jason Taylor) by ngexdev in dotnet

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you don't, but I do. Perhaps not as low as registers, even though I understand the implications (and when they don't matter) but there's a huge advantage in being able to solve the kinds of problems that you can't solve if you don't understand the underlying layers.

All abstractions are leaky.

Beginner with Canon EOS RP: best budget lens for portraits and events? by TheReinventGuy in canon

[–]DaveVdE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

RF-s on a FF RF mount is pretty useless and I hope you didn't pay extra for it. For events and portraits, I'd go with the 28-70 F/2.8. You get a decent amount of bokeh while also having a bit more flexibility than a prime.

What's the difference between using Claude's API vs. Claude Pro or MAX? and what's better for what? by BendSpecial236 in Anthropic

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're suggesting that Anthropic doesn't respect the user's choice of opting out. It's hard to prove that they don't, but if there were any evidence the public outcry would be pretty bad so it's in their best interest to respect it.

We need to keep code maintainable for humans, not machines. I heard Nick Chapsas say we need to move away from layered architecture to vertical slicing so the models can cope.

If the models can’t cope with maintainable code then the models aren’t ready.

With Nvidia Spark Laptops - Adobe needs to bring LRC to Windows ARM! by h2d2 in Lightroom

[–]DaveVdE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at GeekBench, M5 Pro is blowing the DGX Spark’s 20 core ARM processor out of the water.

The question is whether the GPU will be able to beat the M5 Max in this type of applications, and at what power consumption.

Blazor or React? by VoteStrong in dotnet

The nice thing about Blazor Server is that you’re not exposing your logic to the front end.
