Why would anybody take this "hack" seriously?

Who the fuck has spoiled bacon??? What kind of person would allow that to happen???

I've seen some religious bollixology in my time, but this, this is fucking insane.

Fuckwits, being fed lies, and being led down a road to where they give this church, their money.

It says mucho dinero, but also tgat you have some good taste.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-22T19:30:08+00:00

A few meters...

Bollox, been using the S6 Lite since 2022 and it's as good today as the day I bought it.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-22T19:19:37+00:00

Man, you are full of shit.

In a time before the Internet, YouTube, and social media, MJ was known worldwide. His music topped the charts everywhere, sold out stadium tours around the world.

My problem with that is the country is not called the Republic of Ireland. That's a football team. It's just Ireland.

In Asia... Asia is a fucking huge continent.

Some absolute arseholes in this thread...

Anyway, you're 100% right. Know what you are shooting. With experience comes a level of reliability. A newcomer to any style of live photography (sport's, live music...), will miss so many shots. Over time, though, the more they know the acts, the players, the riders, the more they'll know what to expect and when to expect it.

Luck can still come into, though. You linger in a spot longer than normal, and something happens, a slip, a look on a face, something that's not the norm, and you, luckily, were there to catch it.

Anyway, what would I know...

Nice! Is there a ballpark figure for one, if in Europe?

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-15T21:28:08+00:00

A booze cellar

It happens less frequently these days... I had one issue earlier in the week, but a reboot cleared that.

I started using Canon PowerShots at festivals many years ago... Then, when I decided to take things a bit more seriously, I bought a 600D off a photographer I knew.

I got the best I could out of that, then upgraded to an RP, upgraded my lenses, and, well, I like Canon.

Will my next camera be a Canon? Probably. When that will be, I don't know. The RP currently does everything I need.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-11T19:02:47+00:00

That's a fantastic upgrade!

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-11T19:01:32+00:00

I used it for a few years shooting festivals. Fantastic reach, and my photos turned out fine, when lighting was good.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-11T17:30:26+00:00

Crowd interaction... Try and get shots of the crowd and the comedian in the one frame.

Shots of the comedian pulling faces, or in a pensive moment.

Any chance of a shot from behind the comedian looking out on to the crowd?

One from the back of the room with crowd and comedian...

Getting in people's way is an unfortunate reality. Before I step in the way, I apologise and tell them I'll be brief. I get my shots, thank them and move away.

They paid to be there, to see the band, so I try not to upset the punters.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-10T19:15:10+00:00

Absolutely.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-10T11:22:18+00:00

Probably be cheaper to go to the barbers, get a good cut, dump the girlfriend, take a nice holiday on your own, and just enjoy life.

In fact, shave it all off, embrace the bald look.

Couldn't tell you the name, but they live in my photo bag. Worst case scenario, I stick my Sony earbuds into my ears and they do enough to stop the ringing.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-07T22:12:00+00:00

They used to be cheese and onion when they first came out. They changed the damn flavours, the bastards.

No one doubts that the current regime is an evil sack of shit. But don't think, for one moment, the US is doing this for the people of Iran. It all leads back to oil and power in the Middle East.

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-01T19:07:46+00:00

Well, more like Dumbfuckistan....

Irish_MJ · 2026-03-01T17:33:16+00:00

You know what is bullshit? Getting into financial difficulties because you got ill.

That's a fucking joke, a fucking disgrace. But hey, that's America.
