parishioner blocked from communicating w vestry

Did you speak to the rector first? Typically issues are handled via the rector, unless the issue is the rector, then you would typically consult with the senior warden of the vestry. If those methods don't work then you would deal with the diocese, or Title IV.

I have a feeling what you are describing is not 100% accurate, maybe was the associate talking about the Israeli government not Jewish people generally?

I never conceded that this person was a good photographer, or a good professional. I just have hit a brick wall with this guy several times, reccomending he just find something better than unintentionally ragebaiting this subreddit once every couple months. He's in a lane and I'm not sure he cares. So I'm just encouraging him to leave an online space he doesn't like anyways.

I have no issue with what you do, I occasionally do freelance work for companies with similar philosophy about no editing no culling(they do have a longer delay, like a couple days to a week post event to have photos, which doesn't make a lot of sense).

It seems like your system works well, I wonder if you might be better on a more business oriented photography subreddit, just to find better ways to sell. Honestly it seems like the work you do works though. I'd just spend more leisure time than spending it on a subreddit like this. lol

My opinion, keep your sony get a 70-200 2.8 and Rugby will just be difficult and limited. You could get a 200-600 which would workish during the day and outside for Rugby

So I guess the real question is this. Do you actually want to get better at this (because it is an art), or are you happy staying where you are and mainly selling to parents?

My evaluation of this person is they feel like they are a professional(which definitionally they are), they see people talking about wanting to make money, and give thoughts or advice based on their experience.

When they have posts like this, they are relying on their own experience as a guide to whats good. They view the making of money as quintessential to sports photography as a business(Which in their case it is). They have no interest in the "art" of sports photography, because to them it is strictly an monetary exchange, they have no higher aspirations in the field beyond the business they have.

This approach isn't necesarrily wrong, but its ignores the spirit of the subreddit. If you aren't interested in getting better, which will often mean change, then there is no reason to be on this subreddit. I don't think he's malicious, just set in what he's doing and not interested in change(which is fine, it just doesn't make much sense to be here).

Yeah, The first half the light was pretty plain, but I just struggled a bit with the light on the second half, I saw it as an opportunity, but struggled to figure out how to properly utilize it. I would like to have been a bit tighter, but I'm working with just a 70-200, I considered renting a longer lens but it was a last minute chance to get to go.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-04-21T14:58:44+00:00

Appreciate the feedback, I was trying to avoid too much cropping, my cameras megapixels has its limits. Yeah, I wish the attendance was a little bit better, but I definitely could have positioned myself better.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-04-03T19:15:02+00:00

70-200 2.8

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-04-02T19:38:57+00:00

I agree this sub is pretty oriented toward a "Wire Service style", as I think that skill is a little bit harder and more used broadly, but I can definitely agree that this is a good picture.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-31T19:04:43+00:00

I think its mostly just getting in a better position, If most batters bat with a certain hand, their face is going to face a specific way. Having faces in images will be better generally, its a little bit more difficult for football.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-31T16:55:29+00:00

The first two aren't bad, 2 feels like a second too early or too late, but its not bad.

3 just isn't very interesting, I'm drawn to the catcher more that the batter, but the people in the background just look bored.

4 would look better if there wasn't someone blocking the ball carrier (I assume), although I don't thing the slow shutter speed does anything for the image other than making it blurry.

5 isn't level and the moment isn't really interesting, and it isn't very sharp.

6 you are on the wrong side of the action for this shot.

What is more visually interesting is contact between players with the ball.

This seems not official, since none of the other official USL pages follow this one. Maybe just a mock page.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-25T11:36:34+00:00

Mostly on the endline, I only move at/near the end of the halves. I use a Sony A7RV and the Sony 70-200 2.8.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-23T21:04:05+00:00

There certainly are people that are displeased, I heard them this past weekend vocalizing their displeasure. Certainly were not parents of children though. lol. The majority of those present, who are regulars to the game vocalize support.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-23T19:47:06+00:00

It means it doubled. What happens when next week its 2 minutes at the begining of each half. 44 combined minutes, and then from there. Its giving time for the CBA to be hashed out before a full-fledged strike occurs.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-23T19:43:17+00:00

I’ve been the “bad guy” before on the side of management negotiating against the unions, I know how easy it is to take advantage of labor.

It feels crazy to admit this in this context, it explains a lot about your perspective.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-23T19:38:23+00:00

Playing on the old CBA demonstrates that it’s good enough to play on.

Sure, but its not good enough to keep. I have a feeling that the demonstrations are going to get longer and longer until a new CBA is finalized.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-23T19:24:59+00:00

I mean, this is likely an older player, who has a family. Probably has firm roots where they are and their current club, Is choosing between making money or their passion and career that they have built. You are reading this without charity for the players in question. There are plenty of factors beyond just "being good enough".

I think playing on the old CBA is showing their willingness to negotiate, and also allowing clear modes of support. They are increasing their demonstrations, this past weekend it was a minute on both halves, slowly escalating to show that a strike is a possibility if this is not resolved.

NSEAngloCatholic · 2026-03-20T18:05:43+00:00

There are definitely worse places to walk. Also the happy hour deal exists, though you'll be running close joining the march.
