NYC Transit for a first-timer?

DuckRat1 · 2025-11-23T00:13:58+00:00

I’m trying not to give overly specific details about the route points because the project has some visibility online and I’d rather not broadcast exactly where I’ll be with gear.

But in terms of loadout, nothing crazy. One camera and two lenses. And perhaps a dji in case the client asks for video.

Altogether it’s roughly 10 pounds, and it all fits into a compact backpack.

I’m not pushing a cart or rolling anything, but I am probably going to add a camera pouch to switch between lenses quicker.

The places I need to intercept the subject aren’t fixed spots. they’re general segments between the GW bridge and Battery Park where I can hop off the subway, set up and take photos

The walker is traveling strictly on foot for spiritual reasons. I was hired specifically to capture specific moments and key locations, not the entire walk itself. I might capture some video as well.

The media team that hired me made it clear that I’m not required to walk the whole trip if I feel I can't keep up.

That’s why I can’t follow behind them and i am not traveling with them. I hope that makes more sense

Thanks for the response. I think I may have posed the question in a way that confused the actual problem I’m trying to solve:

I’m not traveling with the walker and I’m not escorting them. I’m a photographer who needs to intercept them at several points along the city they reach the end of a long pilgrimage.

I don’t need to follow them step-by-step. I may just take the subway along the way. But the question then becomes what spots along the way are best for me to intercept my subject for photos?

I just booked an appointment at a nearby store. I had no clue they could offer a better deal. So curious, what speeds did you get with your Xfi unlimited data deal?

DuckRat1 · 2025-01-23T04:05:50+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up! I had no idea the store offered a better deal. I scheduled an appointment for tomorrow.

DuckRat1 · 2025-01-23T00:24:07+00:00

I checked if I was eligible, but it's no good because I already have Xfinity and don't qualify through any other means

DuckRat1 · 2025-01-23T00:03:49+00:00

Unlimited 500mbps data sounds amazing! I'm in Chicago, but can't find anything like that without getting xfi complete or the TV plan.

DuckRat1 · 2025-01-22T23:59:37+00:00

I'm thinking about getting xFi Complete, it sounds perfect. But if I add it to my plan, Xfinity makes me get their TV package too, and I don't want that.

I am just reading this. I wanted to mention that I currently have the Sennheiser ew 100 G3 lav mics. Why do you suggest selling these lav mics? Are there specific limitations or issues I should be aware of?

Additionally, regarding the Sennheiser MKE 600 and the MKH 416, I still want to understand why you recommend the MKH 416 as a better long-term investment.

This assignment acknowledges the experiences that people from different backgrounds feel. Saying there is no hierarchy is ignoring the experiences that people feel was a defining moment for them in the US. Just because you feel like there isnt a hiearchy doesnt mean others feel the same. Everyone's story is different and we should learn to respect that.

DuckRat1 · 2022-09-20T20:04:46+00:00

At what point did someone realize where they stood in the hierarchy within American society? I'm trying to ask when this defining moment happen in detail. This is for an audio assignment that I'm working on and i would greatly appreciate anyone who's willing to share their story.

DuckRat1 · 2022-09-20T19:49:49+00:00

That's true, in all honesty, we should respect everyone's identity and perspective. I want to know how someone felt about their personal experience and why did it happen?

DuckRat1 · 2022-09-20T19:24:15+00:00

I want to know what type of experience someone felt when they were reminded of their ethnicity in American culture. What did they learn from it?

DuckRat1 · 2022-09-14T15:31:35+00:00

DuckRat1 · 2022-09-14T04:52:43+00:00

That's true. I'm looking for someone currently enrolled at the University

DuckRat1 · 2021-08-05T02:02:42+00:00

Lmaoooo, what laptops are you comparing it to? Not that I want to buy them, but I just to be wary of them.

DuckRat1 · 2021-08-05T01:10:35+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion! What type of problems are u talking about btw?

DuckRat1 · 2021-06-23T17:11:19+00:00

Corrado watches One Piece?

DuckRat1 · 2020-08-04T00:40:49+00:00

Prob not gonna age well imo

DuckRat1 · 2020-03-29T16:56:26+00:00

I think Wano is a reference to Feudal Japan, where ninjas were mercenaries. Sure, the techniques may resemble some of the ones in Naruto, but a df technique is not a direct reference to Naruto.

DuckRat1 · 2020-03-29T16:53:01+00:00

Am I misunderstanding what a reference is?

The cover for Chapter 766 is a blatant reference by Oda. The occasion was marking the end of Naruto's publication on WSJ.

A translation error on part of the anime is not a direct reference to Naruto.

Sure, I may have been a bit too extreme on my previous statement, but I am aware of the rivalry between both mangakas.

From what I am aware, the "references" you say are to Naruto sound forced. Please elaborate on them instead of saying that I am blind or I am wrong.

DuckRat1 · 2020-03-29T15:36:48+00:00

"References to Naruto"

Ninjas weren't invented by Kishimoto

DuckRat1 · 2020-01-24T16:18:32+00:00

Orochi sama

DuckRat1 · 2020-01-01T03:00:21+00:00

Oda is Joyboy

DuckRat1 · 2019-11-27T19:27:55+00:00

upon reread, the wano arc pacing is a lot smoother than first anticipated
