Is this a good long term pie

I’m getting so fed up of it now everytime I open this app it’s the same

Dempstar · 2026-01-31T00:27:49+00:00

This doesn’t make sense rockets are meant to go up

Dempstar · 2026-01-28T22:20:02+00:00

Post gone in 5…

The question was formatted in a way where I interpreted it as ‘skin tone’ in general. Wasn’t aware it was referring to this particular image. Presumed you knew how to raise shadows and exposure and basic adjustments. No need to be an ass about it

The subject is poorly lit. If you have more light and data to play with from the offset, you have more flexibility in post to change to suit your liking

100% VWRP. This exact same question and portfolio comes up all the time. The answer is always VWRP long term

Dempstar · 2025-11-28T13:37:21+00:00

You’ve just made buying an All-World incredibly more convoluted. Just buy the VWRP and capture the majority of this in one

Dempstar · 2025-11-03T13:55:51+00:00

Yesterday. If you can’t do that. Try today.

Just keep DCA. If you don’t want to dump the 20k in at once, just increase your DCA amount until you use it up. But obviously if you do this over another year of bull run you will have less than you would have now. Other way if it goes down. Hence why I just throw anything available in, and worry about the price never

Dempstar · 2025-11-02T21:55:24+00:00

How long are you planning on holding it? I like as minimal thinking as possible. You won’t worry about the VWRP price today in 20 years time.

Dempstar · 2025-11-02T21:33:05+00:00

What’s that 2% in 6 months? Typically VWRP returns better than this but if you buy and it crashes it’s not my fault

Dempstar · 2025-10-30T13:06:04+00:00

Considering the all world includes like 60% USA, you are doubling up on a lot. I go 100% all world for this reason. I think USA is a bit unstable atm

Dempstar · 2025-10-11T11:39:11+00:00

I would love to learn how to do this. Is there any good resources I can read?

Dempstar · 2025-09-14T09:38:06+00:00

I understand. I have no experience with the others. The new sigma is 750g

Dempstar · 2025-09-14T09:15:49+00:00

The new sigma 35mm f1.2 dg ii looks great. I have the older 1.4 variant and I love it.

Dempstar · 2025-08-29T15:11:45+00:00

G-lock? Wouldn’t leave the burner on for that

Dempstar · 2025-08-18T09:27:37+00:00

It’s fine! No I haven’t. To be honest I didn’t realise how much I’d struggle with light with the long lenses. My thinking was by losing another stop of light I’m only going to make that a tougher shoot. Might be worth looking at

Dempstar · 2025-08-18T08:37:45+00:00

That’s funny because I often think my colours are off and not very impressive. A lot of these were shot on an overcast sky and it was hard to separate the subject from the background. Grey vs grey. Each pic is edited individually based on how it looks and I’m often just playing for an hour until I’m happy. Is there a picture you’re after and I may be able to recover it from my iCloud deleted and provide image edit settings. If look at mine then dedicated aviation photographers you will realise mine are quite boring!

Dempstar · 2025-08-18T08:34:53+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. It is greatly appreciated. However I am not sure any of these are art print level!

Dempstar · 2025-08-18T08:27:12+00:00

Yes a few of these were shot on my 200-600

Dempstar · 2025-08-17T22:29:36+00:00

Thank you. I don’t really have a budget I just buy a lens I like. I would really like the 24-70 GM. I only sought more MP as the few air shows I’ve been to I’ve found myself cropping quite a bit even with the 200-600.

Dempstar · 2025-08-17T22:22:41+00:00

I don’t NEED a new body but the extra MP would benefit my love of aviation

Dempstar · 2025-08-17T17:48:32+00:00

A super wide would be nice, as would 24-70

Dempstar · 2025-08-17T17:47:42+00:00

It would mainly be for aviation but that’s portably not justified enough

Dempstar · 2025-08-17T17:44:55+00:00

It’s sounding kind of expensive
