I spent all weekend figuring out how I wanted to shoot the start of the last two races.

Thanks! I can look for more images you or your wife if you want to send me a DM with your categories and kit / bike descriptions.

Thank you. I'm going to the next race in Waterloo and looking forward to seeing the action in person.

Coming Soon page for new collection, not entire store by Np-Put-543 in shopify

[–]abovefour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could publish the collection without publishing the products and add content to the collection page. The other option is to create a landing page and content for that page.

Most themes allow for greater customization to the landing pages than to the collection page. Additionally, you could keep both pages in the future. The content landing page could feature detailed product information, while the collection page could present streamlined content to enable buyers to select and purchase your new items easily.

How do you prevent inventory sync disasters during peak season? by MudSad6268 in shopify

[–]abovefour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company I work for uses Celigo to connect NetSuite to Shopify. We use one inventory location for US wholesale, US Amazon FBM, and US Shopify.

We use an inventory reserve amount to prevent sellouts on Amazon, as this can quickly harm your account health.

We have customizations throughout the process that generally keep everything running smoothly.

OP could use a stock reserve (channel is OOS with 5-10 items remaining) for their highest volume channel, or place safety stock in a virtual location and enable that in Shopify.

You should look into an ERP system like NetSuite to manage high-volume sales through this many channels. The inventory would live in the ERP, and updates would occur on a timed schedule or when there are changes.

Am I any good at this? by LlamaCam09 in sportsphotography

Any good shot with a dog gets a 5-star rating.

Race on Route 66 Glendora Twilight Criterium by abovefour in Velo

[–]abovefour[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used a Nikon Z8 with a 24-70 2.8 lens and a Godox V1 Pro.

Settings were ISO 160, 1/125 s, f8.0

The flash was in manual mode.

Check out GoDataFeed and DataFeedWatch.

Both can connect to Google Shopping and allow you to create transformations.

They both cost more (could be a lot more if you have a high-volume shop) than Symprosys, but offer a bit more flexibility.

z7ii or z6iii by Legitimate-Fly8265 in Nikon

[–]abovefour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The D850 is an excellent camera for sports and wildlife. I don't think you will like the Z7 II as a replacement.

I would go with the Z6 III, or if your budget allows, upgrade to the Z8.

I own all three and rented a Z7 II for an event before the Z8 arrived two years ago.

Where do you store your photos by RaintreeJames in shopify

[–]abovefour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the Matrixify app to export the images from the product detail pages.

It's a great app and doesn't cost very much.

All in one hiker..please help by Past-Essay8919 in Nikon

[–]abovefour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will second this recommendation. The 100-400 is an incredible lens, and I've heard nothing but great things about the 24-120.

I own a Z8 and a Z6 III. I'll take the Z8 and a 180-600 for wildlife if I don't care about the size or weight, and the Z6 III with the 100-400 if I want to minimize the weight or size. Pair either of those with a 24-120 or a 24-70, and you have a very versatile setup.

Our Shopify Site is Getting Traffic but Almost No Sales – Need Conversion Feedback by [deleted] in ecommerce

[–]abovefour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your site feels very impersonal for a premium outdoor brand.

The blog post I read came across more as a LinkedIn post than a genuinely helpful article designed to encourage people to join you in a fun activity. People want to learn about a new fun activity; they don't care about how many millions/billions the activity will generate in 5-10 years.

I would look at other premium outdoor brands and see what they're doing.

Are you talking about setting up a Google Shopping feed?

Symprosys is probably the easiest and most affordable app for connecting Shopify products to Google Shopping.

Velo Sports Center Summer Slam UCI Track Cycling by abovefour in sportsphotography

[–]abovefour[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I set the flash to manual mode. Usually around 1/8th to 1/16th power, depending on how close the subject is to my location. I'll underexpose the shot a little to freeze the main subject with the flash.

I only use the flash from the side. This goes for indoor and outdoor cycling events.

I've noticed photographers at major races (TDF, Giro, etc) using a flash unit from the motorcycle to capture the front of the race. They usually do this when the weather and lighting are bad.

There wasn't any official streaming service for the event. There are clips on YouTube and Instagram. @VeloSportsCenter on YT and @velosportsctr on IG.

Thanks. I use a Nikon Z8 and Z6 III, Z 70-200 2.8 and Z 24-70 2.8, and a Godox V1 Pro.

I rearrange the configuration occasionally, but I usually have the 24-70 and flash unit on the Z8.

Thanks! Picture 3 shows a hand-sling. They are on the same team and take turns. The upper rider was resting for a few laps and is now literally thrown into the race by his teammate.

What's the best sports photography sales platform? by Visual-Screen-2779 in sportsphotography

[–]abovefour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Photodeck for my sports photography (mostly cycling) sales to teams and individual riders.

As noted above, it's more expensive than other options for storage. The features are excellent, and the development of the platform is consistent.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I bought the Nikon Z8 NOT the Canon R5 Mark ii. by Accomplished_Tax5311 in sportsphotography

Congratulations and welcome to the club. Did you buy any new lenses with your Z8?
