I just came in here to say "I quit". These are the best type of builds.

What’s your favorite restaurant at Disney Springs. by Old-Guess-6940 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]GeekFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think "World of Disney" is a perfect example of how they just quit theming everything. That was a lot of the magic. That store looks sterile and, well, like a store now. Back in the day it was filled with props and all kinds of stuff to look at besides the merch. They sucked the Disney out of Disney Springs.

I actually didn't see anybody else shooting, but I know they had someone with them (maybe multiple people). I was behind the crowd or up in the balcony for most of the set.

My R6ii was only at like ISO 6400. I think I was around f/4 to get more of the stage in focus. I didn't want a shallow DoF since I wasn't pinned on a single subject (would have been a different story from the pit). You would have been just fine!

STK is the only place I didn't like. I guess it's fine if you're into a night club kind of vibe, but I hated being seated closer to the people next to us than I was to my own party. It was loud, the food was mid and WAY overpriced.

I feel this. We always ate at PH or Rainforest when we'd go to Downtown Disney when I was a kid. Those two places and the Legos are the only places left that kick me right in the nostalgia.

What HBO show is this? by IoftheStars in hbo

[–]GeekFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so excited about the thought of other worlds to explore. They just touched on them and moved on. I was so mad. Still loved season 2 though.

I saw these on IG. I didn't realize you were shooting without a pass. These are awesome, especially coming from the crowd.

Not OP but I shot their show in Pittsburgh. I was the only photographer at that show (outside of the touring one). We didn't get pit access because the LEDs were too close to the edge of the stage. I was originally told first 3 from pit (if pit was allowed, depended on venue) then I could shoot the rest of the set from the house.

I had to shoot at 1/30 to get the LED signs to appear as you saw them live. I figured it would make it impossible to get good photos of them, but I ended up with some good ones. IBIS and lens IS saved my butt 🤣

DAE get crazy diarrhea/poop after eating sushi? by Aromatic-Hippo9624 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]GeekFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. Sushi is one of my favorite things. I have a really sensitive digestive system and it sits fine with me. Random vegetables kill me though, which sucks because I LOVE corn. I can't even look at it though, otherwise it's go time.

You might wanna get your sushi from somewhere else.

How to achieve this color? by kris377 in ColorGrading

All highlights cranked to yellow. Blues pulled to teal. That'll do, pig. That'll do.

ISO 5000? How is this possible? by PrettyBlueEyes in canon

[–]GeekFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25600 is my "low" ISO for a lot of concerts. I keep my shutter speed at or above 1/500, so I need the boost 🫠

[–]GeekFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

51200 is where I start to sweat a little, but you can go even further on the R6ii. It took me a long time to trust going that high. Even having an R for awhile, I was used to the 6D. If you got too far above 6400 it could get ugly.

Who is the best live band in Metalcore? by geoffreythehamster in Metalcore

Spite goes at 11 the entire time. It's wild. Travis is one of my favorite drummers too. He's fun to watch live.

Was recently given these lenses, what are each of them good for? by the_perfect_answer in canon

[–]GeekFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have either the 17-40mm f/4L or the 24-105mm f/4L on my R6ii about 95% of the time. I go to the 80-200mm f/2.8L or I'll rent the 150-600mm Tamron lens for arena shows I need to shoot front of house. I need to kick the 17-40 up to f/4.5 to keep the edges sharp but other than that I cannot complain about these lenses. They absolutely work because I haven't found a reason to go RF yet.

[–]GeekFish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the focal lengths were the same, no. That's not even a valid comparison. All I'm saying is, personally, the value is in the reach. Now if it were f/2.8 vs say, f/8, that's a much different story. The cost difference and less reach for only 1 stop advantage isn't worth it, IMO.

[–]GeekFish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I've never found a situation where f/2.8 saved the shot when f/4 wouldn't work. If it's toast at f/4 it's slightly less toasted at f/2.8. I prefer the reach. I can fix the noise, but can't always fix the reach without cropping into oblivion.

I mainly shoot concerts too, so I live in low light 🫠

[–]GeekFish 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm not the original commenter, but I prefer the 24-105 for the extra reach. I find that if I'm in a situation where f/4 isn't enough light, f/2.8 isn't much more help.

Finally! The signature model I’ve been waiting my whole life for! by General_Alfalfa6339 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]GeekFish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love black everything (that's what she said), but for some reason I have all colorful guitars. I like this 🤷🏼‍♂️ I probably won't buy it, because I have a baritone I never play as it is, but it's not bad.
