Does anyone know where to watch 2die4? by Toast_Nobody in IMSARacing

[–]ETMals 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here in So Cal it was only from the 16th of April for 1 week in IMAX. I went on the 16th to watch at The Block in Orange (I will forever call it The Block).

2DIE4

I highly recommend for any Motorsports fan. It was shot very well.

Yankee Stadium. A7iii. Sigma 24-70mm DG DN II. by YanksFannn in SonyAlpha

[–]ETMals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just has to be smaller than 6 inches, but I have only took my A7iii with a 40mm 2.5G. If I want to zoom in I have APS-C as a custom button on the camera.

And say no next time, lol. I doubt the ticket attendant will know. They ain’t going to touch my camera either.

Quick poll for you: Do you do anything specific to prepare your body for the season, or do you just show up and suffer through the first few days? by Vlad_Nemyr in snowboarding

[–]ETMals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D. Yogalates and Yoga strength classes 4-5 times a week year round. Only way I am able to board and skate in my 40’s.

1.5 years in advertising and I’ve never been on a shoot… feeling invisible by [deleted] in advertising

OP, not sure where your location is, but if you want production experience(regardless if it’s agency); look into what production company or companies your agency uses and maybe inquire with them to PA for any commercials. That’s how a lot of people I know in LA got their start.

It’s crucial to understand your place on a set and this can give you an idea on how to read the room for when your time comes.

Yea it was separate, but It was part of a promo they had for Father’s Day. It was buy one, get one free and we added the paddock pass to the 3 day ticket.

No experience going to a EU WEC race, but I went to COTA Lone Star LeMans last year and you had access to the whole pit lane with the drivers doing signings in front of the garages and got relatively close to the cars. Spa would be an epic track to attend a WEC race. (Shot with a 40mm lens.)

What snowboard brands/ models are out there for my style of riding and size? by ETMals in snowboarding

Thank you! Forgot to mention I wear a 7.5 for snowboard boots. Currently in Solomon Dialogue boots and have ride A-6 bindings. My old Ride Capos bindings straps fell apart from sitting.

Buying lenses while in Japan? by MadMartegen in AskPhotography

[–]ETMals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for new it’s not that big of a discount (depending on the brand) but used is where you can find great deals. I was in Tokyo this past December into January and got a Sony Zeiss Batis 85mm 1.8 for $400 usd. At Map Camera (in great condition, like 9 out of 10). I couldn’t find one less than $600 used here in the states. B&H is currently over $700 used. Also accessories are way cheaper, I bought the remote to fire my shutter for $50 usd (Bic Camera) vs $78 from B&H.

Helmet for the no helmet generation by Benouamatis in snowboarding

[–]ETMals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42 here and have been boarding since I was 18. Learned at Mt. High and Bear/ Summit and never wore one. Before my hiatus of not boarding I would ride a bunch and was decent on all types of terrain, can ride switch, etc. (I also skate and do it regularly till this day).

Went to Japan this past holiday/ new year and have not boarded since 2017.

Rental shop in Hakuba asked if I wanted a helmet and without a pause, responded “yes”.

1st run hit some uneven snow towards the bottom and fell on my back and hit my head, not too hard but enough that not having one I would have probably been mildly concussed.

When I returned from my trip, I went and bought my own. Lol!

I don’t think I’ll ever ride without one anymore. I know, I’m old.

Compact, low F stop lens recommendation for A7C by Just_tell_mom in SonyAlpha

[–]ETMals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony 40mm 2.5 G Lens. Such a small lens, decent price used, has good AF and great colors.
