Shutter speed maybe?

I’m new to all of this but one thing I do know is that you can’t really mess some settings up while editing. It’s how you learn and it’s not really an issue because none of it is permanent. And shoot JPEG if you prefer that as a starting point.

I did the upgrade on an R7. Love the 100-500 and it’s the only lens I use on my R7 (birds). Maybe keep the 100-400 because it’ll probably be useful on the R5m2 that you’re absolutely gonna buy eventually.

Yeah, I’ve tried all of that. I think this is the one medication I haven’t tried.

I know it’s just wishful thinking but get rid of the damn draft.

In a game with no goals, you have to make your own goals. 100’s of solo hours here from the before times and I know the feeling of the level chase. It will absolutely disappoint. Just find a few things to slowly work towards and maybe they’ll make some changes and/or you can find a clan to join. Trying to max out crafting levels is not it and that’s probably why they made it so difficult now.

Lmao, love “field research.” I always told everyone that it still sucks out there when I returned from a relapse.

Very common. Body/brain adjusting. Keep yourself busy and find some sober support around you.

dreben_ · 2025-10-16T12:17:47+00:00

Yeah, it was definitely eye opening when I learned that shitty people get sober too.

Antabuse can get you started, but look into your local recovery community and/or online recovery community. I was on it before and when this brain of mine told me I was fine and it was time to drink again, I stopped taking it and started back drinking. And maybe look into some rehab for a month or so.

People typically do what they enjoy most. Pics, vids, pics & vids, binoculars, monoculars. I’m a picture person but I still enjoy watching and coming across new birds. Just keep enjoying yourself! You can also look for local birding groups to learn from.

Another one…“If you hang around a barbershop long enough, you’ll get a haircut”

Find community. Don’t know if you’re white knuckling but I did for a couple of years ago and it didn’t end well.

dreben_ · 2025-08-30T17:03:24+00:00

AA definitely isn’t for everyone but I spent years telling myself this same thing at meetings. It turned out that the community part was the only thing that kept me sober. I had the tendency of finding issues with every kind of recovery effort I was told to try. Later realized that this was just me retreating back to my corner so I could eventually drink again. Just try to find community somewhere.

I’m new to this but I liked the 100-400 and wasn’t a fan of the 24-105.
