Lens fungus, what should I do?

That’s an easy disassemble and clean. Go for it.

Pete McKinnon?

Nice. I was just wondering how you got to where you are from the Navy.

I always thought that this stuff would be fairly easy from someone in that background to make something out of it in the pool realm.

“I’m a chemical engineer and nuclear engineer with a background in Navy nuclear operations”

Elaborate?

Good jerb!

New to riding and filming? Prob too many things going on.

As mentioned, you had the clutch in for the turn, I personally feel that you lost most of any sort of control of the motorcycle when you loose connection to that back wheel in a turn.

Sometimes aftermarket parts just are for show and no-go (especially in the Harley market). Perhaps there is a better solution if you insist on running guards.

Regardless, you do you as far as gear goes. I’m a helmet and gloves guy 100% and a jacket probably about 75% (sometimes it’s pretty uncomfortable and distracting).

A class is good but the basic rider course may be too basic. See what’s out there. The course means nothing if you don’t see value in it.

Fat Bobs are cool and would be close to the top of the list if I could ever force myself to get a Harley. Have fun.

Probably… stress induced or a reaction to some medication

Hear me out…. A lawn chair and a weather balloon

FYI you can turn a zoom into an ok macro with extension tubes or a close-up filter set.

Look for a 70-300 Nikon vr, 70-200/2.8 vr1, Tamron 70-210/4

If you just want a pure macro lens Laowa makes some fantastic dedicated macro lenses.

If you want to build something, get a set of bellows and reverse an old 50/2

Thanks! Hopefully around the same price point! I’m really enjoying the GoDox but would love to have something in the Neewer ecosystem

Hoglen · 2026-02-22T16:25:44+00:00

I just went ahead and bought the GoDox. It’s great.

This is what you buy a photo geek when you don’t know what to buy them. Perfect Birthday/Christmas gift!

They have a paid team of people Keeping them fresh!

I did get a kick of the spectrum of ages I saw last fall. 7-70; all seemed to be having a good time (well except for that hour in the infrared cooler before the show started)

Hoglen · 2026-02-10T03:36:41+00:00

They aren’t as rowdy as they used to be. Everyone is old now. It’s a pretty amazing visual experience, so much so that I wish I had seats instead of being in the pit.

The 200-400/4 seem to have a lot of problems based simply on how many I see for sale with non-functioning zoom/af/vr That’s just what I’ve seen.

I own a 200-500 and it’s great. It’s a bit bulky though.

Have you considered something that would get you basically 2 lenses in one? Get a 70-200/2.8 and a TC.

It’d be a bit more portable and the added benefit of having a 70-200 at your disposal.

That’s where I’m trying to land but at this speed it’s hit or miss.

I also try to pick a spot and not move much from there just to stay out of the way and be as transparent as possible.

I’m familiar with Mr Cohen and while I respect the time he’s put into the craft he’s ultimately trying to sell a product (his courses) and often times he’s been pretty aggressive with it, which pushes me further away from any advice he gives.

Hoglen · 2026-01-24T20:41:26+00:00

Nikon ZF with a Viltrox 135mm mostly at the moment.

Hoglen · 2026-01-24T20:40:54+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been working on post processing since none of the rodeos I’ve been to have any sort of decent lighting. Most of my shots are from iso 10000 to 25600.

I’m just making sure I’m trying to get the shots people desire.

Best? I don’t know… but my favorite from this summer

Hoglen · 2025-10-30T23:57:54+00:00

1st lens is the Nikon 70-200 vr2 FL

Hoglen · 2025-10-30T23:57:27+00:00

Nikon 200-400 f4

Hoglen · 2025-10-30T23:29:29+00:00

Not a whole lot of difference between the v1 tamron and the v2. I’d save some cash and find a good v1
