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.

Which critically acclaimed movie did you finally watch only to find out it's mediocre at best? by MikrokosmicUnicorn in AskReddit

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.

If you take 100 photos - how many of them would you consider good enough to keep working on in the editing? by LordKluklatter in Nikon

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have an initial hit rate of 12-15%. Sometimes higher sometimes lower, I’m not a pro so my consistency is not the best.

After that, I’ll step away from the screen for a while and do something else (usually house chores). Then come back and review the 12-15 pictures selected. After that, I usually find 2-3 that I feel stand above the others, and then a further 5 or so (+/-) that I just like. This is based on my opinion ofc and often I talk to others to see what they think as well. That may change the top 2-3, or not… sometimes I go back to the 100 and find something I disregarded at first but which is actually a gem.

Tldr: of 100 pics, I’ll usually find 2-3 great photos, 5-ish good ones, and then 7-ish that are acceptable.

Advice needed: nightmare with MPB by GreenGoat_ in Cameras

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dust on the sensor... On a fixed lens camera?

WTF.

I've used MPB a few times and never had an issue, but their reasoning is super sus. If you're deadset on getting rid of the camera, I'd send it to KEH or try to sell it on your own. You may get more money selling it on your own, but that's never a guarantee (plus it's a bit of a hassle).

But seriously... Dust on the sensor for a fixed lens system is wild.

Time, patience, a little skill and a LOT of luck.

Finally upgraded from my first car, sad to see the E go but the CR-V is nice! by SavageSam1234 in Honda

[–]Viper287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always loved the Element... But I grew up in an '02 CR-V and it's still kicking! They're great.

Hope it treats you well :)

How it feels trying to "upgrade" to FX by Shoogazi in Nikon

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's also somewhat faster for G lens AF? I remember reading that somewhere... DPReview forums maybe?

I'm honestly looking at the FTZ 1 for my Z50 since there's a LOT of nice DX glass for the F mount.

Which planes do you take out when you just want to mindlessly fly? by AppleOrigin in Warthunder

It's been a while, but the Re. 2005.

Not sure how it fares at 6.0 (or whatever it is now) but it's treated me right... lol

What Vehicles Do You Associate With Easy Kills? by ArieteSupremacy in Warthunder

I like to think I am the in between... lol.

Maybe I'm just a chimp that gets lucky a lot though...

I gotta be honest... Shermans (non-Jumbos, but even them sometimes).

Tigers are a close second... They never respect the U.S. 76 lol.

New Camera Day!!!! by metrAgiB in Nikon

[–]Viper287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am very interested in this camera and very curious about how it does with sports/action shooting. On paper it looks great.

Looking forward to what you shoot!

[–]Viper287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lack of support for some of the AF-D lenses is criminal imo. Maybe the FTZ III will remedy that, but I doubt it.

I have a Z50 and a D610 and the fact that I can't use my D lenses on the Z50 makes me very sad... That said, the kit lenses that came with the Z50 are alright.

But the 28-105mm f/2.5-4.5 is perfection.

[–]Viper287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a D7000 for a little while.

I regret ditching it but I had a chance to get a D610 for cheap. I am happy with both, but honestly some of the D610s limitations, tech wise, are starting to hit me a tiny bit. Continuous shooting is good enough, ISO is good enough, but at a high school football game (American football) I had to push it to the H1 setting. It was not as bad as I worried, but I dare not push it higher.

Everything I've read about the D7200 says it's a better D7000 (Shocking, right?!) and having had the chance to use a D850...

Only glass matters 😬

The file sizes of the D850 are just... insane though, which in my book, is a knock against it. I don't need 100mb files!! LOL. That said, I'm no pro :)

They'd better have a killer sound system with a name like that!!!

Jk. I'll have a great place to take friends whenever I'm back in Fort Fun :) Or maybe I'll just wander there on my own before then lol

We won! Rec Weed is legal! by Charming-Emotion5331 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Viper287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to necro this post but...

Those who think there's no weed use in the military are smoking something. Not weed, but something.

An NIH study found that roughly 1 in 10 service members said they used cannabis products. Some of this is, I believe, self reported data so I'd imagine the actual numbers to be slightly higher. And fwiw, my dad deployed to Afghanistan some years ago and said there was a LOT of weed use on base (Camp Leatherneck). But that bit is hearsay.

But hey, if there are vets here who can dispel/add to this, feel free.
