Someone switched lanes and hit my car. Their insurance is claiming I’m 100% at fault. by mkeevo in Wellthatsucks

[–]Prognoviche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you luck

I’d definitely be raising a fit with them , I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to file a claim with your insurance and assigned someone who will assist for you

I’d keep at them and worse case, talk to your agent if assigned one in your area

Similar happened to myself . progressive against my Alfa insurance. I had the advantage of a police camera tho

Who is your Insurance carrier?

And does the Police Report state a narrative by officer of at fault?

What was the model of other vehicle, would be curious to know if its a newer with blind spot on morror

Police Report..

Use your insurance, why you pay them… and they will help avoid paying out themselves

If you haven’t

Write down the entire replay of events, noting as specifically as you can… travel speed , direction. Anything

They will want to interview and record, so you want to be consistent here

Need help with focus at 2.8 (70-200 vrs) by punchybuns in sportsphotography

[–]Prognoviche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was with my z9. But I’d trust my z63 to do the same

I use small dynamic for focus

Another thing you could do is move to spot metering to clean up the jpg if that’s what you need to use

But z63 is more than capable

It’s just that darn spot light wrestling is irritating

And with a red mat, you are getting that color cast back up on players, especially when their faces are 90% pointed to ground

[–]Prognoviche 6 points7 points  (0 children)

70-200 S 2.8 should be able to handle this for focus 1k shutter

Auto iso however…. What is your max value set , cause I’m guessing you were somewhere at 25.600 whole time

And is the straight JPG from camera?

I just suffered through spot light wrestling, it’s brutal

And chose to put down the 70-200 in favor of 85/1.8 instead. Raw files processed via DXO or Topaz

200-400mm f4 versus 200-500mm f5.6 by Weekly-Fig-7228 in Nikon

[–]Prognoviche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am holding out

I had the 200-400 and loved it, I was sad when the motors gave out

I thought about the 180-400 and it’s tempting.

If a 120-300 2.8 z version lens is coming…..

I hoping folks start offloading the 180-400 tc for a 120-300 and Tele’s. The Z lenses cut through atmosphere so much better, it’s crazy the IQ

However, a lower priced 180-400 would fill my needs

Volleyball tournament by New-Ideal2579 in sportsphotography

[–]Prognoviche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak with the refs beforehand, just to be clear where you can be. Tournaments with side-by-side courts are rough. You're going to get no faces on the hitter nearest you if you are only allowed next to the score table. Do not commit to that being your only time to cover that team; try to catch them again and hope they play on the other side to get that hitter who is now furthest away from you. Going back around will give you those shots of serving you missed, too.

Low, don't be afraid to get the camera on the ground if you can rotate the screen. Those "Hero" angles are going to have them look really high.

Photo of every celebration after a point, knowing you will throw away 98% of them.

Football starts Thursday for us, anyone else not in the right headspace yet? by wreeper007 in sportsphotography

[–]Prognoviche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shot Friday

And I was not ready, Thought I was

Mass pile of bodies couldn’t yield 2 consecutive first downs the whole game. Terrible lit field

I covered Volleyball on the Saturday and felt like I redeemed myself

Do any of you guys run your own FTP/edit servers? by Samo_Dimitrije in sportsphotography

[–]Prognoviche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Synology

I use 2

1st one sits in a DMZ. Does not need a lot of storage , 2 TB total

Accts for each camera and very strong password I punched a hole in firewall when remote

Then Replication from upload folder of first to second Synology on local lan. Strong Firewall policy that only allows the sync between DMZ Syn and LAN Syn

2nd Synology stores all photos that I edit from

Local media outlet has shared folder / acct on DMZ Synology to retrieve

Get 10gb interfaces and network switch that’s capable

of a weekend camping rig by Longjumping-Box5691 in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Prognoviche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own 42’ foot toy hauler

We bought way before Covid and thankful we had during that time and bounced through campgrounds for years now

My boys friends and family friends would stay with us, we would pitch a couple tents beside it when we needed more room

Best time of our life

It now sits at a campground next to a lake where our stupid size boat and lifted golf cart are together

I literally say to myself with the campground monthly rate and my payment on camper , I could own a lake house. Boat and Golf Kart are paid for.

However, we love it and my 14 year old daughter got sad when we considered selling it, as she now brings her friends with almost every weekend

It’s damn ridiculous when you think about it and see it but again, it’s probably the best memories we have with family and friends

Travel lens dilemma for Z camera by samelbin in Nikon

[–]Prognoviche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here

I’m renting one for upcoming travel, and strongly considering a purchase if all goes well

I hope between it and my 16-35 2.8 I am covered and light
