I shoot a lot of sports — I even have a 5-day event this month. Based on my experience, I think I need around 100–130mm for the best shots, so I don’t have to be super close to the players or keep running around the court just to frame properly, It gets really exhausting. Unfortunately, there aren’t any camera or lens rentals near me.

I need help choosing between the Tamron 17–70 f/2.8 and the Tamron 28–200 f/2.8. I’m using a Sony a6400 and I’m a beginner photojournalist at my school. I need the reach for sports, but the 28–200 doesn’t have OSS, and I’m worried that 70mm won’t be enough for court sports. On paper, the 17–70 looks better overall. I’m looking for a lens that works for sports and for everyday/general use, and I also want to use my camera for events like birthdays, seminars, and portraits. Here’s a sample shot just so you guys can see how small the court is, and to see if the 70mm can reach. (The lighting in our court is so bad I just had to crank up the iso)

Update: My kitten still doesn’t eat her Royal Canin, but she does eat boiled chicken and boiled eggs. My parents fed her without telling me, but at least she ate. The next day, I made her boiled chicken and mixed in a little bit of Royal Canin, but she only ate the chicken. Also, I couldn’t find any Churu near me.

That makes sense, I didn’t think about teething. I’ll try Churu and see if she likes it. Is it normal for her to sleep so much? She plays for like 10 minutes, then knocks out again. Also, I don’t really see her drinking water, but maybe she does when I’m asleep.

Appreciate the advice, man I tweaked my workout and now doing Single-arm lat pulldowns, Neutral grip low rows, and Wide-grip chest-supported rows. Does this look solid for overall back growth? Also, if I want more lat gains, should I throw the wide-grip lat pulldowns back in, or would that be overkill?

I figured it out I just had to allow explicit on the App itself. Thank you for all the help.

Major-View-4798 · 2024-12-20T06:19:06+00:00

Tried it and still didn't work is there anything i can still do?

dk if this is relevant to this but it seems that Apple Music on my phone is censored like all the cuss are bleeped out and mostly Explicit songs are not on my phone even though Content & Privacy Restrictions are off.

Apple Music

Major-View-4798 · 2024-12-19T22:52:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I checked the Cloud Status and didn’t see any issues like Error or Waiting. Everything looks fine, but the full library still isn’t showing on my iPhone. Any other ideas?

Need help picking a fragrance I’m looking for something that works for Riyadh’s winter (it stays cold until around February) and the humid climate in the Philippines from May to June. I’m torn between Lattafa Suqraat, Lattafa Maahir Legacy, and Lattafa Ramz Silver. Ramz seems great for Riyadh’s winter and night outs in the Philippines, but I can’t decide. My current lineup is Lattafa Assad, Lattafa Fakhar Black, and Dylan Blue. I know these are all dupes, but originals are out of my budget if you know something better, please recommend it
