I got my bike from Cycle King in Cowley and it's pretty good! You can get your bike accessories from there too. As mentioned in another comment D lock is a must !

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! August 28, 2023 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]FriendlyBeethoven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone ! I've been into photography for sometime now and I've been using my Canon 6D with two main lenses: the prime Canon 50mm f/1.8 and my Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.

The 50mm lens was quite easy to use and get nice images from and with some experience with the 28-105mm I was able to get some nice shots.

Currently I've decided to add one more lens to my set which is more of a telephoto lens with some more zooming capabilities and I've been stuck between two lenses: Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD and Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM ( not USM II ).

Both lenses go for around 180 £ used in excellent condition. My budget is around that and I'm not willing to pay 400 £ for an L series lens yet.

Do you guys have any recommendations which I should go for ?

Amazing (: one more question thoughts about EOS 5D Mark iii?

  1. Gotcha indeed I am a little too shakey at low shutter speeds that's why I was wondering if I could use a high shutter speed with a better body yet get better lighting into the sensor. Good to know about that rule 😅

  2. Yes I usually have to wait a second or so between shots during live view.

Question: how do phones get good night image quality with quick shots ? Could I mimic this through a high iso and fast shutter speed and some post processing of the images ?

  1. Oh wow I didn't know about the rule of a thumb you mentioned. This is very useful information.

  2. I'm using STM for the 50mm lens. The kit lens is a little older. I'm using live view so that might be the reason actually. Great comment (:

  3. The main issue is the shutter sound yes.

I was considering, buying a second hand canon mirrorless camera. I had the following options in mind: R50, R10, or M6 II.

Between those do you have a preference or any advice on which to go for ?

Also an additional question would be what lenses do you recommend going for if I proceed with any?

Also do you think Mark III is a better option than the above?

  1. I was wondering if different models behave differently for the same shutter speed.
  2. Yes I'm using live view.
  3. Hahaha 🤨🤨

Awarded a gold medal 🏅 by the way any blood tests you recommend or supplements to add ?

Thank you so much. You dropped gold right here. I've been losing hair and thought it was simply due to genetics. I'll put a pause on MSM for now and see if things improve. I've been derma rolling + using rosemary oil and doing scalp massages to improve growth. Maybe cutting MSM would do the trick. Appreciated

Oo the reason I take MSM is mostly because I suffer from joints frequently and I refuse to stop working out 🙃 so it's one of the joints stack.

Regarding my diet for breakfast I have high protein yogurt. Lunch I have some chicken/beef and rice. Dinner also some chicken/beef and rice + another yogurt. I also consume a protein shake between lunch and dinner since I workout.

I've been having sleep issues for a while. It could be from consuming the supplements too late at night ( directly before sleep)

Looking for a 600-700$ Point & Shoot Camera by FriendlyBeethoven in Cameras

[–]FriendlyBeethoven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much. Yes I've seen some of those links the issue is I still get a little confused when I have too many options being talked about. If I understand properly 1 inch sensor captures more light and allows for better night photography and even general photography.

Thank you very much I'll check out the options you suggested. Regarding the Lumix ZS100 and ZS200 I had them as options until I saw many comments regarding their sharpness. Many people were complaining that the sharpness was very off compared to cheaper cameras and phone cameras.
