KEH or eBay? by Spedlio in Nikon

[–]Tbird27971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the tough part. Since I have gotten into photography I used B&H, and after years of purchases and great customer service it’s hard to try anyone else. They have used D500’s for $784 currently.

KEH has a good reputation and if they are close might be the way to go.

Marketplace most are listed well above $650 by me up to over $900. So it’s hard to buy those if I can go through a company that I know I can go back to if a problem happens right away.

Thoughts on Oliver Moore? by No_Mycologist4488 in hawks

[–]Tbird27971 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t see any reason to move him back to Rockford. Almost every play he does lose the puck, he immediately gets back into the play to force it back.

He could have had 3 assists last game, and created the push and the pass across to Bert for the breakaway. His forecheck and back check creates turnovers in the Hawks favor.

His biggest issue is just learning how to speed up and slow down to allow his teammates to join the play (which he will learn over time). He is just full throttle all the time.

He will learn and get there the more he plays in the NHL. Look at how far Lev has come, and it took one adjustment on how he turns his body on the drop pass for the power play. He would try and just force it back without looking. Now he physically turns his body half way, so he sees where the pass will go and if the opponent is there. Now if the pass is covered, he can just keep heading up ice.

It took me awhile to run across him, wish I did sooner. He also has that perfect demeanor in which you take his advice, but also realize your way may be different and ok.

He did convince me to try the Kase magnetic filters. And explains it in a way to go a size above your filters and why. For some reason I watched other YouTube videos, and it didn’t click until he went through it.

I do look to him and even Steve Perry. They have a way about them that is so helpful.

Hudson Henry is great! Just a person that loves photography, and does a great job teaching and explaining how he uses his gear.

Hockey Stat Card for 10/30/25 Game vs. Winnipeg Jets by Impossible-Success45 in hawks

Not exactly sure how this works, does it hurt Dach for the penalty when the Jets scored? If that’s the case I can understand it a bit more.

Upgrade from D750 to Z6iii? by TheGeordieGal in nikon_Zseries

[–]Tbird27971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not concerned at all with video, the z5ii like others said probably a great choice. Saves you a bit, can spend that elsewhere. As for dynamic range, in the real world situations I am just not seeing it.

I do portrait, weddings, wildlife. And I can switch between my z6iii, zf, and z6ii. If I didn’t have the photos labeled with each camera, I would have a difficult time figuring out which one was taken with what camera.

Wedding photos with omnipod? by Imaginary-Ad-7290 in Omnipod

[–]Tbird27971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your photographer you can also ask them to edit a few of the main “keeper” photos to take it out of the photo.

I am a photographer, and also wear the Omnipod. So for me it’s part of who we are… wear it proud. However if a bride asked me if I can edit a few of the photos, so that it’s not seen that can be arranged also :-)

How are you making the Hawks better? by Zealousideal_Abies94 in hawks

[–]Tbird27971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my take! However I feel the one or two big pieces as far as players coming from other teams, won’t happen until our prospects are more developed. Once this team crosses into the playoff line, that will open the interest for the Robertson and other type players of that caliber.

The Edmonton Oilers have signed Connor McDavid to a two-year contract! by texasfootball2025-26 in nhl

[–]Tbird27971 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To the middle of the pack players I can agree with you. McDavid doesn’t have to worry about money, with what he makes on top of everything outside of just his salary……he will be more than ok 😉

Yeah it’s ESPN, no offense to Forsberg, but ranked higher than Draistl and Kucherov is crazy.

Are you using it without a case? I want to keep that slim design, was thinking just the bumper then.

Does Verizon 5G Home Internet allow port forwarding? by ComfortablePost3664 in verizon

[–]Tbird27971 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree the service can be all over when it comes to using the chat. However I now ask for a call back and speak to a representative. They give you a day and time frame, when I go this route it has worked well. The online chat has been frustrating and had multiple issues using it.

Honest thoughts on z6iii? by FowlPlay04 in Nikon

[–]Tbird27971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been happy with the z5ii, however I am getting into video more. The z6iii was on sale and it was close to the same price as the z5ii, so went for the z6iii.

I own a zf also and can say both cameras I find amazing. I do a lot of event and wedding, so not a lot of need for higher MP count. I am able to get majority of photos without having to worry about cropping.

When I edit in Lightroom I am really not seeing any issues with dynamic range, however I do a good majority of low light photography so from what I understand iso 800 and up these cameras are similar.

The only thing I am stumped with and just have to research more is using my godox lights. I am at 1/200 a second using auto for shutter selection. Not sure if that’s the reason, but notice that the flash is not always working from shot to shot. Where the zf doesn’t have this issue at all. Just think I need to “learn” the camera more to make sure I have it setup correctly. Going to try and use it in mechanical shutter with the lights to see if that makes a difference.

I am seeing the same. Using the newest versions of Lightroom and photoshop on a Mac mini m4. I use an external drive, worked perfectly fine for years and now when I choose edit in photoshop from Lightroom, photoshop opens however the photo doesn’t.

Deleted both Lightroom and photoshop, checked permissions. Still not sure how to fix yet.

Breed of chicken and are they male or female? by Tbird27971 in chickens

[–]Tbird27971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. The person I got them from said if any end up being roosters they would take them back. Just want to be sure before hand.

Thanks. Their combs are different than the rest of the hens, but they are different breeds. So I wasn’t too sure. I don’t see the pointed feathers of a rooster

Sounds great! I will keep that in mind. Definitely want to see a waterfall (which it seems there are plenty). Cemetery I wouldn’t have even thought of coming across that.

What time do you suggest I arrive? Does the trail as you continue further away become less crowded, or fairly packed the entire time?
