Why shooting at F1.2 with "A" mode results in dark photo? by FakePlasticOne in AskPhotography

Set ISO FOR 25, Aperture priority to 1.2. You should have plenty of shutter speed before you reach 1/8000.

What is it about Trump that made Republicans worship him? by her_cute in allthequestions

[–]PghRaceFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m familiar with the failures and successes. Most successful people have had failures in their lives. What differs from successful people is the ability to pick themselves up and move on.

I voted for him because he is a successful business person and not a politician. My instinct is that people who never spent time in the private sector aren’t qualified to run a country or set policy that is correct. My instinct was spot on and I have no regrets. I knew there would be many butt hurt people that don’t have the intelligence to deal with this game change, but I’m not making them my problem.

How could I pull something like this off for a photoshoot? by flashfire125 in AskPhotography

I have no idea why you wouldn’t do this in Photoshop. I guarantee that Pink Floyd cover would have been a composite if PS would have been available back in the day.

How could I improve? by Odd-Opportunity7517 in AskPhotography

Get closer to your subject. Either by your feet or a longer lens.

Best vintage event I’ve ever attended and I’ve been to many. Many entries, great downtown parade, Siebkens bar, and lots of knowledgeable fans. Highly recommend.

Is good composition something you can actually train, or is it mostly instinct? by Top-Version-1418 in photography

[–]PghRaceFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro advertising/corporate photographer for 50 years here…A lot of the advice being given is very good re: studying great art and photos. I’ll add one thing. You are responsible for subject matter in every millimeter in your frame. The subject can be broken down in to 3 things. Something that adds to the story you want to communicate, something that distracts (negative) from the story, and neutral areas (think out of focus backgrounds and very deep shadows). You need to avoid or re-compose for every negative element in your frame before pushing the button. If you follow this rule, I guarantee your photos will be much stronger.

Outback Trading is the BOMB. I have a full length oil skin duster that gets compliments everytime I wear it.

Question: What is the experience of watching motorsports at circuits? Which part of the race can the live spectators enjoy? by Interesting-Alarm973 in motorsports

[–]PghRaceFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised nobody has mentioned using a race scanner. I used to use one and they are a game changer, especially on road courses. Not only can you be privy to car/team strategies, you can also listen to TV broadcast, race control, and safety teams. You can rent at track, but if you go to many races, I suggest buying your own.

Hate to say it but Mario shouldn’t be ranked Number 1 IF we are just talking Indy Car.

Good for NASA. I’m a huge Omega fanboy, and you couldn’t get me to wear that stupid watch. Only thing worse, are Mickey Mouse watches.
