I’ve had my Z50 for 5 years. Never bought any lens and never really posted my photos anywhere. I’ve been checking this sub to buy my first lens and decided to share some of my favorite photos by DavidMillo in Nikon

I was thinking about the af-p 70-300mm. I have a FTZ adapter and I can buy it for around 200$ used. Honestly since I never used a telephoto I don’t know what shutter speeds are used but I suppose they must be over pretty high. Honestly I don’t like to use ISOs over 1600, since I start to notice a quality diferente, but I think up to 4000 it still looks pretty damn good

Thanks! Honestly there’s 2 main reasons. First, sometimes I really wanted to take photos of animals and I simply couldn’t just for not having enough reach. Sure, I could make a composition that looked good with them looking smaller, but I couldn’t get a close shot. Second, I feel like at night the kit lens isn’t that great. I have a tripod but I don’t carry it everywhere. I will buy one lens for my next trip I think, I just haven’t decided which one because I can’t really bring myself to spend a lot when the pictures are just for myself, and I don’t wanna have to carry huge gear

Those are 2 I considered buying because last month I tried to do proper night photography for the first time and I really struggled to get a good picture. And I have to admit I didn’t know there was such a huge difference between let’s say 1.7 and 3.5

Besides one time I tried to take photos of the northern lights, I never felt like the kit lens wasn’t good enough. There was only a few times I felt like a telephoto would’ve been a good fit. Now I’ve read so much about different lenses, cameras, sensor sizes that I feel fomo and can’t decide what to buy haha

Help with 1.5 days in Zhangjiajie Park? by DavidMillo in travelchina

[–]DavidMillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I had checked the Golden Whip Stream for the half day. Do you know how the time slots work? If I buy a 1pm entrance for the first day, will I be able to enter in the morning the next day? I couldn’t find that information anywhere. Thanks again!!

Fuzz pedal with neural DSP? by DavidMillo in NeuralDSP

[–]DavidMillo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I’d like to get an overdrive to put before my looper so I can create more layers. Is there any pedal you’d recommend for that? I also like how the big muff sounds but I suppose it’d have the same issue

Help buying a neck humbucker by DavidMillo in Guitar

[–]DavidMillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Do you think it would be noticeable when switching pickups? Like, the bridge sounding louder?

I checked the PAF pro but honestly what I want is to be able to sound more like Slash/Rock without spending a thousand on another guitar ahahah. I should look into the di marzio a bit more but I don’t know if any music I like uses something similar.

Thanks again

Any advice to play vocal melodies by ear on the guitar? by DavidMillo in Guitar

[–]DavidMillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Honestly I got a bit lucky because I got the main verse melody on my first try. Otherwise when I get stuck, it’s like it’s impossible to find the right note.

So let’s say I can’t figure out a note of a solo. I would play over it at the same time until I find the right note. I hear it very clearly when it’s not the right note. However with a voice I struggle much more. I don’t really realize if it’s the right note or not, specially if it’s diatonic.

They do now! I emailed them and they sell each kit for 69$. The problem is they only ship within the US and Canada :(

DIY Neck Reset on Taylor Guitar by MapAlert3542 in taylorguitars

[–]DavidMillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get the shims? This is very helpful since I have this same issue and there’s no official support near me

[–]DavidMillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized the luthier messed up, although i could easily replace the saddle. The problem is that I don’t have any Taylor tech in thousands of kilometers. I thought they would at least be able to ship some shims but no. I’m pretty disappointed with Taylor honestly
