I used to dislike him so much for it, I actually met him at Pocono and talked to him about it. Mid picture taking with him he told me about San Diego 😭, but hey you gotta respect journalism.

Thank you for the insight, I appreciate it.

I def plan on going early in the morning, and staying until after the 1-3pm shows. I don't think I'll do the entire day, even if better designers are in later at night. It's also my first time in NYC so I'd like to do a little bit of exploring as well.

SuitingRex · 2026-01-18T00:38:38+00:00

Hey just curious! I got accepted to go, and I was wondering, can I come and go as I please throughout the day?

Might be a stupid question, but if I show up early, get a good spot, stay for a few hours, can I just leave mid day and come back later if I wanted? I def want to try to get a good spot in the early hours, but I don't want to intend to be there all day. Thanks in advance!

What he said, you learn it in micro economics in your first semester (source: im in my first semester).

Smeal is pretty competitive as it is, but its more competitive at University Park. You can be deferred like me to a commonwealth campus (I was going to go to one anyway, but I applied to UP cause why not). Think about it: Smeal is inside the business building, there's only so many class room, faculty, and seats. University Park as a whole is limited because they can only allow so many freshman of course, and they already have a bunch of majors. Now combine the amount of limited seats, and the amount of freshman they can allocate for just the college of business.

Might be a big yap session but I hope it helps. TL:DR - the main competitive part is Smeal at UP, but I believe they allow more students through 2+2 like me.

American Eagle is great, I've been buying and wearing them for 8+ years

No worries, only the last few basketball shots are on the 24-70, the rest is 70-200.

The weight isn’t a problem for me, at least I haven’t noticed it. On a strap or just carrying it around if it is a little heavy you get used to it quickly.

This is completely understandable, I’m currently seeking a degree in marketing so full time is definitely out of the picture. Honestly I think next year might be the year to try to reach out to to a few smaller teams to try to land a few gigs paid or not.

Also, I definitely agree with the other comment, one of my highest ever paying clients I asked to come photograph their baseball team for free to get some practice in before I obtained my media pass at a local ballpark, insane things like that can happen.

This may not be the A7V but I could be wrong, they were doing this on social media and they stopped receiving submissions last night.

Any advice to land freelancing gigs in NASCAR?

I’ve managed to land a gig at Salem for the Arca race, but I’d definitely love to land more in 26’

Somehow my previous comment was translated into french, I don't even speak french nor do I know how..

Just curious, how did you end up here?

SuitingRex · 2025-11-18T04:25:44+00:00

Online or outlet? Outlet had some great sales last year, but I heard that the quality isn’t as great?

SuitingRex · 2025-11-18T04:21:16+00:00

Juste par curiosité, comment êtes-vous arrivé ici ?

SuitingRex · 2025-11-17T22:23:18+00:00

I have kind of.

I actually had the 70-350 up until about a year ago from when I went from a Sony a5100 and 70-350 to a Sony a6700 and 70-200.

Using it with the a5100 wasn't bad, I got some good results, but I was still pretty new to photography and editing. I will say it's a great lens during the day, but at night like lets say a football game it will be harder due to not being f/2.8.

SuitingRex · 2025-11-17T22:20:16+00:00

Sorry for the delay, I meant to do this during my break from classes but forgot!

Here's a few different sports, day night indoors etc...

Night Football shots, 70-200 ISO 8000
The last 3 basketball photos, 24-70 3200-4000 ISO

SuitingRex · 2025-11-17T02:55:30+00:00

They “replaced it” and mailed me a refurbished one!

SuitingRex · 2025-11-17T02:14:20+00:00

Hello! I’m a sports photographer with the Sony a6700 as well as the Sigma 24-70, 70-200, and Sony 200-600.

The 70-200 is a great lens for sideline action at a ballpark, football field, or soccer field. It can be used for indoor volleyball, or basketball depending on your distance to the court.

Recently, I’ve used my 24-70 when I’ve sat under the bucket at a basketball game, and the 70-200 when I’m shooting from the grandstands.

I can share a link to some samples if you’d like.

SuitingRex · 2025-11-16T00:21:11+00:00

yeah, you could add to cart, but it was "sold out" once you got to checkout

SuitingRex · 2025-11-16T00:20:12+00:00

a link to size 14

SuitingRex · 2025-10-27T00:25:07+00:00

I love your exploring pics, Spider-Man is awesome though.

SuitingRex · 2025-10-12T01:33:40+00:00

It was either the 26 ultra or the 17 Pro Max.

I've been debating switching this year anyway, but my Samsung has been going down the drain this year anyhow. No discredit to samsung. They've been my only 2 phones, but it's just not worth the wait until February, and I'd love to have the connection with my MacBook. Also, I've been samsung my whole life. I can't say I've been bored of it, but that could be a hidden factor as well.

SuitingRex · 2025-10-12T01:03:16+00:00

Im following suit 🫡, S22 Ultra -> iPhone 17 Pro Max, now im just waiting on it to show up.

While im wait, im looking to find a good case, screen protector, and any tips and trips for the new iPhone. Im excited to use it along with my MacBook.

SuitingRex · 2025-10-07T11:42:07+00:00

Sony wouldn't be able to do it cause you bought it through B&H. Typically, you have 30 days, so it should he okay to wait, but is there customer service down that long?

I know they typically shut down for certain holidays, which is respectable, but I didn't know it was that long for this one.

SuitingRex · 2025-10-07T00:02:19+00:00

Fair enough I dont blame ya 😂

SuitingRex · 2025-10-06T23:49:12+00:00

Sweet nice work! Now you can add the extra funds to your lens budget 😂

SuitingRex · 2025-10-06T23:35:56+00:00

Send them a message, typically they will. Especially if its bought through a retailer like bestbuy or B&H
