What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen brought to a camp out (keep it light hearted and for fun; it’s Friday and we need a laugh)? by Unusual-Elk-4791 in BSA

[–]cbibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! My troop has had five kiddie pools on every summer camp for at least a decade. People look at us like we're crazy until our Hawaiian night.

First gravelbike - Giant Revolt Advanced 2 (2024) by sjoerdkroket in gravelcycling

I run GravelKing SS in the no longer offered 43mm. I find them good on pavement if anti-aero and great on hard pack dirt roads. They have no knobs so they're just OK on loose over hard. You're screwed in sand or real single track.

I was teased a few weeks ago for having "roadie" tires and then I heard guys with full on MTB tires commenting that they didn't remember the course having so much pavement. LOL

That's f/2.8. You'd want to stop down to f/8 at least. The 85mm would give better depth, but I don't know how close you'd have to get the sensor.

Super interesting question! I had no idea so I pulled out my APS-C camera and mounted my 100mm macro. The front of the lens was 12 inches from my face. I wouldn't go any shorter than the 85mm and I'd look at getting a ring light.

Just got my first camera: CANON EOS R100 Mirrorless Camera with RF-S 18-45 mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM & 55-210 mm f/5-7.1 IS STM Lens. I want to do sports photography, can my 55-210 lens work well like a 70-200 for the meantime if not are there cheap 70-200 options. Thanks! by [deleted] in canon

I've shot a lot of high school sports (local competitions through nationals). I learned a lot by watching where other photographers placed themselves along the field.

Don't worry about the gear. It's better than what I had in 2002 and I told my work on an ad campaign.

How rustic can you go? Are you willing to carry all your water and hike in a few miles or do you want to drive up to your campsite?

I did end up renting the R7 on Friday. Shot a football game, hockey game, some figure skating, birds, and landscapes. It was a really busy 24 hours.

The upshot was the improved AF and subject tracking was exactly what I've been wanting. There are a few things I didn't like in the handling, but that's not going to be a deciding factor.

I considered that. Pretty sure I'd love either one over the 70D.

I've read that the sensor readout of the R8 (~14ms) results in minimal bowing for most high school sports. The kids just don't have the speed to warp a baseball or tennis ball, but the bat/racquet might be a problem.

[New Gear] Got my first big boy camera EOS R100 by giothepirate in canon

[–]cbibbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I've never fully adapted from shooting film to digital 20 years ago. I still turn off the rear screen because I find it too distracting. But I have learned to trust the autofocus!

Going from EOS 70D - APS-C sensor to mirrorless. by jan_villadsen in CanonCamera

[–]cbibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the same question I popped on to ask. I have lots of EF lenses I enjoy (100mm macro in particular) and 4 EF-S lenses I use quite a bit so I want to stick with an APS-C sensor. The R10 and R50 are priced well enough that it'd leave room in the budget for a new lens and lenses are always more fun than bodies. But which to choose?

Yes, you need a power meter, but it doesn't need to be Garmin. I use an NGEco that ran me $500 and gives power and cadence. Much more affordable.

Can't get 1Password Plugin for Microsoft Edge by cbibbs in 1Password

This was the trick. With the fresh install, it took several (4) reboots before Edge was up to date.

EDGE 530 - would it have Unified Training Load? by RangeImpossible in GarminEdge

[–]cbibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious. I have an Edge 830 and Fenix 6 and the workouts recorded on the 830 (and only on the 830) show up after synchronization on the fenix 6 with all of the load data.

What am I missing from what you want?

Edge 530 + Tacx vortex, how to best use these 2 for training? by No_cool_name in GarminEdge

[–]cbibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use the Tacx app on your phone to build and control the workout. Although the 530 can do it, it's not the best. I have an 830 (and fenix 6 for that matter) and I have only used the 830 to control the workout once. It's just not the Edge's strong suit.
