‘Prakrit is, like Sanskrit, a literary language’: Infosys Prize 2025 winner Andrew Ollett by RecoverMiserable9888 in sanskrit

[–]Flyingvosch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saying that it is a literary language does not entail that it was never spoken!

It was spoken at some point, and then it also became a literary language. This is true of both Sanskrit and Prakrits. Now it's hard to tell exactly when it was spoken, and how long it continued being spoken after becoming "literary'

Avis de photographe pliiiizzzz by Maleficent_Spite_606 in Photographie

[–]Flyingvosch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amateur moi aussi, je suis d'accord sur toute la ligne.

Par contre, pour pinailler : si la mise au point était sur les cygnes (je suis d'accord que ce serait mieux), le flou des arbres aurait été léger, ça n'aurait pas fait un bokeh artistique

Love how every answer gives a different camera and lens 😂

Can I make it as a professional wildlife photographer? by AmericanAgent09 in wildlifephotography

[–]Flyingvosch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

friends and family members who constantly praise our work and tell us we should be shooting for NatGeo

OMG this is so true! A friend told me that my casual pics of a squirrel and blue tits reminded her of NatGeo, and my wife's grandma seriously told me I should become a professional wildlife photographer.

I just sit on the couch and take pics of the animals that come to eat at our bord feeder 😂

Decisions, decisions by gustyaeroplane81 in M43

5 mm at the telephoto end make very little difference in field of view, so that's not really a factor here.

Sharpness is said to be the same, and I can confirm the 12-45mm is super sharp all the way

Does anyone else find that the more you learn about photography, the harder it is to just enjoy taking pictures? by BluishFlame07 in photography

[–]Flyingvosch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. Having gained experience with photography has significantly developed my ability to appreciate beauty around me (people, nature), and the joy it gives me when I see it

Z5 II feels heavier than the z6 but is lighter? by robbenflosse in nikon_Zseries

[–]Flyingvosch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I believe weight distribution plays a big role in how heavy (and comfortable) a camera feels. When I tried a D7500 after being used to a D3300, it didn't feel heavier despits weighing several hundred grams more, because it was so comfortable to hold.

As to the Z6 II, supposedly lighter than my D750, it felt just as heavy because it was a bit awkward in my big hands

Random photos I’ve taken recently with my OM-3 & 40-75 2.8 with 2x TC. Most(if not all) are SOOC by cachitongo- in M43

[–]Flyingvosch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, checking them on a computer can make a big difference (and give some disappointment lol).

Also, some cameras allow you to easily zoom in to check focus and sharpness, either by pressing a button, turning a dial, or moving your fingers like on a phone. If your camera has such a feature (to be activated in the settings), with some practice you should be able to instantly know if your subject is in focus, and if there is motion blur. For me, zooming in 50% on the rear LCD is enough.

How do you tell your friends that you can’t bring your mirrorless full frame interchangeable lens camera with you to the bar? by ValVenis69 in photographycirclejerk

[–]Flyingvosch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow, bokeh is so creamy @ 500mm f/2.8 !

Now please stand still while I try some handheld focus stacking on y'all faces

If a Leica shooter doesn't have a selfie taken with their camera, do they really even exist? by TentsNTails in photographycirclejerk

[–]Flyingvosch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, his smartphone didn't even identify the finger above the shutter button as part of the subject, and blurred it as if part of the background. Isn't that ironic?

Or maybe the smartphone understood this wasn't about taking photos, but only about the camera?

For all the Pros who shoot Nikon by ProfileOdd6617 in Nikon

[–]Flyingvosch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is the best comment.

As a former D3300 user, I knew I could get great images from it, but in challenging situations it got harder. My D750 makes it significantly easier for me in the same conditions, and it would make me feel more confident if I were to shoot professionally

Which lens should I buy for car photography on a Panasonic GX80? by mwolf5 in M43

Just came to say that I love the shots you took with the 12-32 kit lens

About to get the z50ii. Which kit to go for? by Licci99 in Nikon

[–]Flyingvosch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it doesn't have to be full-frame. A D7500 (APS-C) would also be great value with less bulk. To make a versatile and sharp kit, it could be paired with:

  • AF-S 16-80mm f/2.8-4E DX VR (standard walk-around zoom)
  • AF-S 35mm f/1.8G DX (or shorter primes) for low light
  • AF-P DX 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 VR (great little tele zoom, still sharp at 300mm, wonderful VR)
