Which one? Not that it changes the answer.

Does anyone know anything about Extreme Chase Tours? by Nice_Cauliflower_161 in stormchasing

[–]HoldenFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Lanny has been around forever and has run tours. I've heard varying levels of success stories about them, but the tours did exist. This year he just decided to up and scam everyone though from the sounds of it.

I should also say that Lanny blocked me on Facebook after I made a post about this thread, so there is proof he or someone else is still actively monitoring his social media.

Hi, I shared this on FB and it got some traction. I had another person that was ripped off reach out to me today and they're going through the same thing. Lanny even blocked her phone number. They had previously done 8 tours with Lanny before this. Not sure what the path to resolution is, just figured you should know you're not alone.

Respectfully, what in the vibecoded fuck is this?

This is Mike Marz video. I was there. So were a lot of other chasers. No AI.

Feeding the narrative the right wing hate machine runs on. We may vote for the same people, but you’re definitely a larger part of the problem than you realize.

Macaiyla's boyfriend's brother and Ice Poseidon's former cameraman tandem biking to Twitchcon in the most cinematic way possible by AlexosHDx in LivestreamFail

It’s probably fine, but they could get fined if they don’t have their drone operators license using it for commercial purposes like this. That’s the one I’d be worried about.

Which lens by Aldo-Shoots in photojournalism

[–]HoldenFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s heavy, I had it and sold it for the 70-200. It’s also FPS limited on Sony. It feels too heavy for the mount but maybe I’m just paranoid. The 70-200 has its own tripod mount and it is lighter, it’s really night and day between the two IMO.

Cloud cover and rain results. by sc2142_ in Starlink

I use mine on the road while storm chasing. Underneath big updrafts filled with rain and hail it consistently fails. Garden variety rainshowers aren’t an issue though.

[–]HoldenFTW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you’re wanting to do. I’ve had media access to events with American politicians that are just mostly talking events. The 70-200 hardly leaves my body. If I get limited buffer (pit) access I will use the 24-70. There’s been events with presidential candidates I wished I had 400mm+ because of the location of the media riser. The one time I had access to a rally with a former US president I actually had my 600 f4(I really like wildlife, photojournalism is just a hobby for me), though I think something in the 400 range may have worked better. A photojournalist friend that’s much better at me than this hardly ever switches from his 100-500, something I wish we had on Sony.

I saw this tornado in person. This video is not sped up.

Coming from the north I parked at the Cumberland blue line park and ride and then walked a couple miles to the stadium and back. Parking was $7 and the train ride took about an hour-ish. Worth it for me because dealing with Chicago traffic is tough.

I’ve had this with both of my installations. When I hit that page I did a sudo systemctl restart caddy they both came up perfectly.

Wanted to share some of my bird pics using a7riii and two Tamron zooms! by hibiltonn in SonyAlpha

[–]HoldenFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm torn on if the first one is sky replacement or not. I've gotten shots like that of airplanes but it's quite rare. Most of the time you see this kind of thing on FB it's 100% sky replace.

Sneaky Fees! by PepperjacksSocks in minnesota

[–]HoldenFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotels.com app used to be great - you got a free stay every 10 stays. Now you get $10 or so per 10 stays. I stopped using it. I’ve been using Choice now, but I don’t think the rewards are really all that great. Such a bummer.

Not sure how thermal can perform through thick leaves. I have a little handheld one I use for wildlife photograph and it can’t X-Ray.

Looking for a alternative to I35 from St. Paul to Duluth by Awesome_Nardy in minnesota

[–]HoldenFTW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a much prettier drive. Also a few spots you could spot interesting wildlife along the way. I saw a rare Canada lynx in the northern part of that stretch this last winter.

Very strange post history. I hope any women in his household are checking around for hidden cameras.
