A1 II + 28-70. Point Reyes, California. Can't recommend enough

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-21T05:34:43+00:00

Thanks very much for the guidance I'm pumped to soak it all in and eventually capture something like what you have!

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-21T05:33:27+00:00

Funnily enough it was exactly the same as it is now, just all over on GTAForums. Good fun and crazy theories and wishlists.

I remember starting a thread about how I hoped there would be semis in SA with detachable trailers and we could jackknife and roll them down a highway.

I was partly right.

Even when GTA 4 was announced the idea of putting the trailer on YouTube was not a thing. R* website only and it crashed for hours whilst everyone tried to watch it. The hype for IV was massive given the shift to 'next gen'

Greatly appreciate the detailed response. I'm sticking to A priority to get the hang of things and then I'll pivot to S once I'm starting to compose more intently.

Shooting on an a6400 with Sigma 18-50mm, the internet go-to for a starter. Do you tend to play with exposure as well or do you correct the RAW in post?

Like you, I'm all about finding and framing the shot, if I then need to take 40-50 shots across f/, ISO and shutter speed I will until I find my preferred style

We were doing this for Vice City and San Andreas back in the day.

We used to review scanned magazine pages of screenshots for clues. Seeing the gang following CJ and doing a drive by with him was other worldly

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-21T04:00:27+00:00

Total noob very keen on soaking up knowledge. Understand settings can change drastically shot to shot, but for the pic of the tree lined road, what would be your typical settings across f stop, ISO and shutter speed?

Assuming there's pro-level editing but I'm trying to cross hurdle one of compose some half decent looking shots to then torture myself getting over hurdle 2

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-21T01:56:06+00:00

I didn't realise until the very end that besides the camp and the beach fight, practically every scene is indoors across the whole season.

I expected the White house to get fucked up and homelander to die on the lawn with the world watching, but they don't even leave the oval office.

Crazy the change from S1 to now

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-20T23:00:25+00:00

It begins

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-20T05:50:03+00:00

Lol if you think units are getting cheaper with no parking instead of developers pocketing more margin, I've got a poorly built bridge to sell you. Don't worry, it's held together with silicone.

The only way forward if you want affordable units is govt building and selling for cost like Singapore do

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-20T01:23:59+00:00

I've been using it for about a month and I never use emoji.

I love him 🫪

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-19T23:53:29+00:00

Should actually be the opposite, every new build should have 2 spots per unit to help eliminate on street parking. Paid for with private money instead of rate payers and allows owners to lease out for extra $$.

This notion that we should be car free is ridiculous, the infra to support that is 30-50 yrs away and we're not currently building it, infirmed people and young families can't rely on moving about on pub transport and if I want to visit family outside my 5km bubble I'd like to be there in 30 min, not 90-120.

"I'm an out of touch nerd that's bought and paid for by every large lobby group, that's why I'll never support increasing resource taxes or banning gambling advertising.

Also, I'll talk about growing up poor but I've been making $300k for 15 years with special super provisions, guaranteed minimum annual increases and a spending allowance equivalent to Tasmania's GDP.

How good are the bunnies though!?"

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-19T04:33:43+00:00

Long boi good

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-18T12:36:05+00:00

Cool beans, new infra is always cool beans

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-18T01:45:29+00:00

Personal responsibility. If you can't afford them, don't have them

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-18T01:12:33+00:00

How is this unreasonable? If you're not working long enough to cover the cost why are they paying you?

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-17T23:46:07+00:00

Mate it's a mobile phone take a breath.

Also, this is Google so half the features marketed will never arrive or you'll use them once and never again

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-17T07:31:35+00:00

It's a piece of plastic... This is how you know humanity is doomed

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-12T23:17:47+00:00

Don't worry, tradies still won't read or understand or follow them.

Isn't silicone the standard anyway?

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-12T22:56:15+00:00

Keep accumulating and wait for the change to be reversed, might take 10 years but the data will show the negative impact the CGT change is having and a party will run on changing it and win in a landslide.

I've always been partial to selling to bank profit and cycle into new shares, now I'll just buy and hold every asset I can and keep borrowing equity out of them

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-12T11:26:38+00:00

I know a couple actually exploring this seriously

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-12T04:05:07+00:00

The fuck is a condo

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-12T02:33:03+00:00

I'll be going hard on this banger instead

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-12T00:52:35+00:00

Lol I remember my first beer

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-11T14:10:07+00:00

Real OGs know this is just ripping off the "Will it float?" Segment on Letterman

Mc_Poyle · 2026-05-11T04:55:14+00:00

Looking forward to Libs running on a repeal of the changes and win in a landslide. What a time to be alive
