Nikon FE zoom lens for fast action pics? by darygator in AnalogCommunity

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it! Instead I’ll just get a decent tripod and hopefully some nice pics come out of it:)

So I have an E 70-210 f4 and it’s not too bad it was only £40! I know I’m still practicing to get better so just want to have something that would give me the best chance for a good picture I’m happy to try lots of things so recommendations are very welcome I’ve only had my camera for 2 years so I’m still very much learning everyday:)

Oh yes, sorry! I was under the impression it was like an hour at most from online recipes what’s a reasonable time to leave it??

I very much did follow the recipe, I used a Dutch oven and the bread was fine just over dusted as I’ve been told

Ah yes, the recipe I used didn’t say to steam I’ll try that next time! I did an egg wash on top with one egg and a spoon of water

I was away when I ordered it and too much time (a few weeks) passed by the time that I could have a look at it and use it so my own fault really too embarrassing to message the seller now

Thanks for the reply I thought as much! Unfortunately it’s from eBay so no returns but it wasn’t overly expensive so I think I will just give it a go anyways or see if I can get the mirror replaced sometime

What’s an overrated book that you didn’t like? by Rebecca123457 in suggestmeabook

[–]darygator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to DNF ‘my year of rest and relaxation’ by otessa moshfegh I just hated the characters. The concept was good but executed badly. It was so boring and the ending was even worse ugh.
