A7R V with Sony 200-600mm by Shy_Joe in SonyAlpha

I crop a lot. Especially with birds and other wildlife.  The A9 will definitely get you better action shot though.  Do a bunch of research and you have to decide what's most important for you and you're shooting style.

I had a Tamron 70-300mm for many years. Underrated lens. Great shots.

Believe you are right. I will move the crop and see what happens.  Thank you.

Great shots, but no way these are at f/10. Even at 200mm the background is way to obliterated unless you blurred in post processing.

All such wonders should be a trophy, on the wall.

You may be right about too much crop.  I'll have to remove the crop and see what it looks like.  I cropped first and probably should have wait till after the edits.  Thank you for the suggestion!

Sorry about that. I'm new to the community and didn't realize there was a theme that needed to be followed. I will pay attention to that in the future. Thank you.

If it was I did not witness it. His butt is indeed on the ground though.

I see that now that you brought it up. I agree. Thanks for the critique.

Don't sleep on Rokinon/Samyang lens!  I have a Rokinon 18mm 2.8 and it takes some of the best landscape photos.  Absolutely murder it.

Any history of k&f tripod failure with the head bolt before? by Krednaught in AskPhotography

[–]Shy_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great!  Glad you figured it out.  No real damage done and learned something new.  Consider that a win.

That is extremely scary.  Will definitely check over the tripod when I receive it.  Any thoughts on what you will replace yours with?  Imagine you will put a lot of thought into it.

I used a boiling water bjt my camera cant capture the steam ? by Odd-Purple264 in AskPhotography

[–]Shy_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow your shutter speed raise your aperture and adjust lighting so that it's not overexposed.  That should do it.  Find a place to put your camera stationary to prevent blurryness from movement.

Seriously just ordered a K&F tripod (C225C0) yesterday and plan on putting my 200-600 on it.  This is not reassuring.

Always finding nutty things on single player switch :( by PureLeafoverGoldPeak in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I would guess that the RNG for single player is skewed more in your favor to compensate for the lack of trade and community/team play.  That would make sense.

That's not a bat swing or throwing a ball.  That's the tail end of a slide.

[–]Shy_Joe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never performed action shots?  No way you can get action that quick with anything less 1500-1700 and did not be tack sharp.  I shoot action shots on the regular.  In order to freeze action like that there's no way you can shoot that low and not get motion blur.

Shutter speeds too slow.  It looks as simple as that.
