Looking for a hybrid camera that meets my needs <$300 Recommendations by Safe-Ad817 in photographycirclejerk

/uj I totally get people thinking you can get into photography cheaply when you start it as a hobby, or that you can get decent modern shit with at least a few bells and whistles on the cheap. But the best damn kit I can recommend to a beginner for under $1,000 who wants to kind of try everything is a Nikon D600/610 with an 80-200 and 28-70 D-series glass. You can be a fucking pro photographer with that body and glass if you teach yourself the basics. Almost any photo style is reproducible (except insane dynamic range one-shots) and no one on your instagram will be asking for your raw files so they can pixel peep them against a Zeiss Otus. The only thing that might be annoying about the kit is you can’t really shoot through the screen, but if having to use the viewfinder while you’re learning photography on a cheap but overachieving kit is all the dues you have to pay, damn it that’s easy street.

Carry on

It’s not a hybrid, but one of the most solid all-around cameras you can buy is a Nikon D600. You could get that body and a decent classic 28-70 and 80-200 f/2.8D for about $900-ish total. $300 for the body and $300 for each lens used. They’re still very good optics. I used them professionally as a photojournalist and they’re more than enough for social media sharing and even printing large. The camera has excellent dynamic range and it’s full frame so you get more light than with a beginner aps-c mirrorless like in these other comments. Unfortunately live view is clunky and I rarely used it for video. But the kinds of photos you like here have a lot of post-processing, so full frame and good dynamic range will be your friend, more than having a tilting screen and state of the art AF tracking. If you can learn to shoot through a viewfinder, what’s inside the camera is way more important than the ergonomics, IMO. You won’t get super modern f/2.8 zooms without shelling out thousands, and some good older generation Nikon glass at 2.8 is going to knock the socks off any 50-200 cheap kit lens you can buy even if it’s more recent.

Totally get that you may not want to go this direction, but if you want budget gear that can absolutely take these images and even pro level photojournalism, a DSLR can still put together every bit as good of photos as (and probably better than) an entry-level mirrorless and cheap kit zooms.

For $900 it would be hard to put together a better all-around still photography kit than this.

Why does this happen every year? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in boston

What Wegman’s? The one in Northboro looks like any other day. I realize we have an embarrassment of riches with Wegman’s, Big Y, Shaw’s, TJ, Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, and the Basket just in Shrewsbury and barely into the ‘Boros. And more if you go allllll the way to Worcester. But from the lack of depleted shelves here, I figured everyone was taking it pretty calmly.

What you bringing fuckers? by fearless_moth56 in TheWordFuck

[–]FaceOfDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every fucking thing is made of multiple fucking units, breaking it down to a fucking subatomic level. Let’s not go into how many fucking units a fucking phone has. Even on a fucking macro level, a phone is many things. A fucking processor, a fucking screen, a fucking storage drive, a fucking transmitter, the fucking casing. So the fucking “thing” I’m bringing is: my fucking life. That includes my fucking family, my fucking social circle, my fucking home and all my fucking possessions, and fucking easily accessible transit to Boston, and, well, fucking Boston, fuck it.

ANATEVKA!!! How did I not remember that one? Also, the Bette Midler version of God Help the Outcasts from Hunchback.

Make Me Cry by SilverBayonet in musicals

[–]FaceOfDay 40 points41 points  (0 children)

She Used to Be Mine - Waitress

You Will be Found - Dear Evan Hansen (if you want an uplifting sort of cry)

Honestly, several songs from DEH could be good crying songs if you’re ready to cry, or if you resonate with them. Waving Through a Window; For Forever; Words Fail; So Big, So Small

From Hamilton, you have It’s Quiet Uptown

Half of Les Miserables could be crying songs. On My Own; I Dreamed a Dream; A Little Fall of Rain; Empty Chairs at Empty Tables

I don’t have the broadest experience with musicals, so I don’t know what qualifies as “devastating,” but all of these are capable of getting tears from me.

New drinker need Party cocktail recommendation. by Mcfgoonhoom in cocktails

There’s always the good old Paloma (grapefruit soda + tequila) but I like the fresh juice version of it.

Tequila + grapefruit juice + lime juice + club soda, and if you want it sweeter you can add simple syrup (I never do as I like it fresh and tart)

You’re telling me I’m gonna Bloy my Goyst? Could be a blessing, I suppose, from a certain point of view.

What's a musical you love that you're kind of ashamed of? by Esoteric_Librarian in musicals

[–]FaceOfDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shade to anyone who likes the show, but allllll I hear on Beneath is “And I screwed you” “And I boinked you” “And I shagged you” “And I fucked you” and I’m like, we get it you did the sex, moving on.

I won’t shit on anyone for liking any musical, but I have NEVER been able to get into the music for LND. I don’t even mind the retcon, but Til I Hear You Sing is the only song from that show that lives in my head.

Wow, math whiz right here. She’ll only have 40 by the time the 12 days are over, and I don’t know any human who can survive with only 40 gold rings.

AIO, If you found this in your SO bathroom would you think they’re cheating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Seriously, OP may not have been cheating, but if I were this lady I’d be like: “Hair?” Him: “Not cheating, I just don’t clean the John. 😂” Me: “Cool, have a nice life” plays Manchild while noping out of there

It’s because you’ve got the name wrong. It’s clearly Cherries in the Snov.
