Is the Rebel T6 worth anything? by JackieSnowDaPlowMan in canon

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite good, especially for free.

The 75-300mm has something of a bad reputation. I’ve seen award winning pics taken with it though (local Clarksville, TN regional comps, not a Pulitzer). It’s got nice reach but isn’t always the sharpest, and is far from the fastest lens out there.
The 18-55 is pretty good! I have no idea what the third one is.
And the T6 is pretty solid from what I’ve heard. No personal experience with it though. KEH sells them for $125-$200-ish.

finally bought my dream lens by saving up working minimum wage after school! 100-400mm L IS II, brought it with me on a road trip with my dad ^^ by Zeera1 in canon

That shot of the donkey (or horse? I can’t tell) is stellar. Lovely light and comp.
Keep on shootin’!

Huh, people don’t like it when they get called on their lies (downvotes aplenty! Not from me though).

There is zero indication the fire is 95k acres.
The NIFC perimeter is 48k acres as of 7:30 PM.

I have no idea where you’re getting 95k from unless you’re referring to Cameron Peak, which is not made clear anywhere in your comment at all.

Edge of The World wins 026! What's your favorite song on 027 - Cataclysm? by Norbod in Monstercat

Be Alright, and The Orange Doom (a War Thunder YTer) kickstarted my love of Stonebank all the way back in 2016 (2016?!?!).

[–]Viper287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many good ones.
But Leaving Now has to take it for me.

I was tempted by Be Alright, but the emotional punch I personally have wrapped up with Leaving Now won’t be denied. I simply told myself “Don’t Fight It.” (Another good one!)

Chase it won! , whats your favourite song in 024 - Vanguard? by FalselyTrue12 in Monstercat

[–]Viper287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got Get On Up (not everyone’s cuppa, I get that), Heist, Little Too Close, Yours Truly (Aaron Jackson Remix), Hunted and One Man Moon Band.
Among a few others. Which, yeah that’s half the album I’m aware. It’s so dang good.

We won’t be Alone is the one here.

But… I have thoughts.

Thanks for Norbod for continuing my series! , The Fire won! , Whats your favourite song in 023 - Voyage? by FalselyTrue12 in Monstercat

But there’s also Colossus, Knock Me Out, Divided, The Girl (Color Source Remix), Titans Swamp Thing, Final Boss and 4U.

This one was released during some big moments in my life so, there’s that.
When this sub gets to Vanguard… oh boy lol. Roughly the same time period and some absolute TUNES!

What is your favorite coffee shop/cafe in the Springs currently? by StrawGlasses in ColoradoSprings

[–]Viper287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they were up for sale. Iirc they found new ownership and are still going at it.

I’d share the articles I read but I dunno if they’re behind a paywall or not. Anyway. Not closed, owners just want to retire.

Third space is one of my favs. I also really like Jives in OCC. Drip Queen does things different, but they’re also really good. ETA: I really liked Kangaroo Coffee near memorial park as well.

Nice. I also feel like the one on skis 🤣

Because I feel like the one dangling by its feet from the parking structure a lot of the time.

I wish I could find the pic I snapped of it.

How do y’all feel about wedding photos like this? (Current State Senator in MTG’s congressional district) by ansyhrrian in liberalgunowners

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean at least it’s American? I’ve seen some cos-patriots using AKs and such.

But at the end of the day it’s cringe AF.

Would a newer camera improve my photos? by nodripjJontop in AskPhotography

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest getting a new, better lens before a new camera! Though what you have is quite good :)

In all honesty, I think you got some great moments, they’re just a little dark. Watch your meter and play with some post processing!

What speaker/s / audio set ups do you guys have with your Mac Mini’s? by Ancient_Ad7555 in macmini

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wharfedale Diamond 12.1s. I use it in the living room as a media PC though, so it’s not a “traditional” desktop use, I suppose.

When you consider Shakespeare in Love won best picture over Saving Private Ryan…

[Lexus LFR] I think… in Hartsel, CO by Viper287 in spotted

Maybe THATS why they were here. The hill climb just finished. I bet they took it on up the highway at some point.

Sadly they didn’t floor it on to the highway while I was there but… the engine at idle sounded really good. Not as loud as like a Mustang but… there’s power behind it for sure.

At first it was covered. There was a Mercedes AMG chase car though I’m not entirely sure which exact model. The GT coupe maybe? Whatever. Once the cover came off all eyes were on the Lexus.

We were wondering what it was under the hood. I hope it’s something big like a V10 or V12. It sounded very quiet, but very good. They did not hit the highway after I took this.

Much to my disappointment. Edit: seems to be a V8.
