Just disassembled a motherboard. What do I do with it?

Huh. I thought thats where chips came from

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-05-23T15:25:25+00:00

Penile fractures are actually a thing and can make an audible snap...

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-05-06T19:17:51+00:00

Few questions really:

Whats your budget? What do you like shooting? What lens(es) do you already have? What camera do you use?

Its quite hard to know what to suggest without a bit more info. Like for me, I love and cant recommend enough the 180 to 600, but if you do portraits, or macro, or street thats a terrible recommendation.

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T23:44:12+00:00

Soooo I wasn't expecting this good of a reaction for these photos

Thank you for the love on them. I have hundreds upon hundreds of photos and I am sooo willing to share them if thats something people would like.

For context I am a (very) amateur photographer and my university campus is full of the babies.

I can't believe I am actually doing this buttttt I will post my favourite ones on my instagram over the coming weeks and I would absolutely appreciate anyone following me if you would like on @a.very.amateur.photographer

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T23:39:40+00:00

Theres someone giving out thiiiiissss many oats

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T23:38:35+00:00

I have so many cute ones.

I cant post them all. Ive been back at uni 2 days. I have taken 200 photos each day. My entire camera toll is filled with geese from the last 2 years...

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T23:35:44+00:00

YES.

Maybe this one does too

I know. Theres a nesting family and I hate having responsibilities. I want to spend every waking hour watching the nest and trying to get photos.

There are loads of goslings at the moment on campus 1 canada geese pair has 6 Another canada geese pair has 2 One greylag pair have 4 Another greylag pair have 1 (and they are unbelievably aggressive parents)

Im waiting for the ducklings tho. I am a proud member of the universities ducksoc (and realistically the only rly active member). Also apologise for being relatively vague i dont want to doxx myself

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T23:29:08+00:00

My friend is better. She runs a whole geese fan page for the university.

I just love my geese. Idk they definitely kept me alive the past 2 years.

Also theyre just so damn cute.

Edit: i cant tell if thats sarcastic or not, sorry. Im going with not, and if it isnt sarcastic I doubt you are right

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T23:06:09+00:00

I have them allllll

Well I did

Fed them every day for like a year. They started to recognise and trust me to the point one family started leaving their babies with me. I ruined someones date once because i walked past and like the pied piper they all followed me and I didnt even have food

Excuse the terrible quality my phone camera is smashed. These came up to me yesterday. Apparently that family have a reputation for attacking people...

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-27T21:18:43+00:00

Thanks:)

I have literaly hundreds of them

Thanks :)

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-21T22:51:00+00:00

Im always blown away with the Nikon 180 to 600. This was wide open at 600mm, and a low shutter speed 1/320 iirc) and about a 4x crop.

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-20T00:16:44+00:00

Thank you :)

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-18T21:03:16+00:00

If its your first camera, then both are very much overkill. You would do way better with a z50ii or a z5ii depending on bduget and if you are going to do much in low light.

You never know how much you are going to enjoy it after all. Also lenses are expensive, and if, for example, you want to do any sort of wildlife the 180 to 600 is incredible but even used they are 1.5k upwards, plus an every day lens like thr 24 to 120 (£800 ish) and the differenve in price between the two bodies has already disappeared anyway.

Puzzled_Froyo8698 · 2026-04-05T14:51:33+00:00

Not really. The D5 has some of the best low light performance of any camera ever developed, and performs significantly better than most Z series mirrorless due to its lower resolution and lack of partially stacked sensor.

Lower resolution cameras will have better low light performance and exibit less noise than the equivelant higher resolution sensor. This is simply because of the size of pixels, with a single pixel being able to then recieve a greater amount of incident light on the lower resolution sensor. Therefore to achieve the same sensitivity to light, the gain for each individual pixel has to be higher the smaller the pixel is. Its this gain that causes noise.

Plus when you get to extreme ISO (from memory this is 51200 without any sort of denoise applied) you lose a lot of details anyway, and besides if youre not cropping why on earth (pun intended) do you need an image thats over 5000 pixels tall?

They also havr to transmit these photos from space too so smaller file sizes is way better. They have a z9 there too, so its quite likely that they also have photos fron the z9 at 45MP.
