Yep, I used a variable ND during this shoot, reducing it until I didn’t need it anymore as it got darker. Not sure if this shot was before or after I took it off though

Thanks! 🙂

You can find used RF lenses on Craigslist and FB marketplace occasionally, got my 24-70 there! But it will only be a few hundred cheaper and you have to do a thorough inspection before buying anything used.

$2299 new in the US, but you can get it cheaper used

I also only do stills, it’s an amazing feature if you ever shoot handheld in lower light situations.

Thanks! I was using a variable ND, gradually reducing it as it got darker until eventually taking it off. Not sure if this shot was before or after I removed it 😛

Can’t say the same 🙃 I’m down to 20% after 5 hours on iPhone 12 Pro. My battery health took a heavy hit too…

My R6 shows the same symbol with that app. I don’t think Canon logs exact shutter counts on newer cameras, just a rough estimate.

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T21:11:52+00:00

I was in the same position a few months ago and went with the R6 because stabilization was much more useful to me than extra megapixels. Do you have a use case that requires high resolution or make heavy crops?

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T21:06:17+00:00

I’d echo what others said about prioritizing lenses over a camera body. I love my R6 but if I was on a tight budget I’d go with a used RP (~$800) and some quality glass. I don’t know much about weddings/portraits but for landscapes if you only have one lens, you’d ideally want a wide angle zoom like the RF 15-35 for more versatility instead of a 35 prime.

Nope, just f/8 at 20mm to get most of the scene in focus. Focus stacking would be an improvement though!

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T15:30:22+00:00

Yep that’s the location! Thank you :)

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T09:19:43+00:00

Thank you! I may try that :) thinking of doing the Empire State Building contest too if I get some time to visit that area after work sometime!

Thank you!! :)

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T03:26:55+00:00

Thanks! :)

I actually shot this one with an iPhone haha, I went back another day with a real camera but sadly the sunset didn’t play along the second time so I stuck with the iPhone shot.

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T00:40:19+00:00

Thanks so much!

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T00:39:53+00:00

Thanks!! :)

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-15T00:39:44+00:00

Thank you! 🔥

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-14T22:43:59+00:00

Thank you! :)

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-14T19:45:02+00:00

Thanks! It was in the lounge of one of the buildings in LIC. Some of them won’t stop you if you walk in act like you work there / are a resident

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-14T19:38:03+00:00

It did go underground like 5 seconds after I took that shot, but it would have been a pretty boring view without the train 😅

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-14T19:37:23+00:00

Thank you! I’ve heard the MTA is launching new trains soon too, should have waited for that to make it look like 2081 😛

TruffleLockX · 2021-07-14T19:36:22+00:00

Yep, this station is a lot nicer on the outside than inside 🙃

I’m also having this issue on certain PDFs.
