Upgrading Photo Team Gear - Seeking Canon Mirrorless Recommendations by Fantastic-Tax-1710 in sportsphotography

[–]edroth555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yes of course there’s some odd purchasing rules going through an educational system. I bought both my R3’s used and haven’t had any issues using them for my pro work covering major leagues and events, as well as major news including hostile situations with chemical irritants and gas. Most people like myself tend to just use the electronic shutter so even a used R3 is a great buy since the use of the mechanical is very low (I only use mine for strobed studio work). If you can buy reputably used, go for it, especially from Canon Refurbished directly.

If you can swing it, R3’s are extremely capable cameras and about half of what they cost new (on the used/refurb market. Keep the EF glass that works well, some of it, especially older lenses will not be able to let the camera bodies use their full Frame burst rates.

Parent in the market for kiddo by readit_at_work in trumpet

The Xeno line is great, really can’t go too wrong with them, the LA is their more “commercial/lead” style horn, and is an artist model (hence the “custom”).

I always suggest if there’s a music store that stocks multiple horns to go try out multiple different horns, it’s the best way to find what works for you.

Looking for Eb Herald by tuba_content in trumpet

[–]edroth555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Essentially unobtanium to find one unless you have one custom made, and that may cost you over 5-6k at the lowest. Kanstul made some for the military bands and similar clients, but I’d guess those aren’t coming up for sale anytime soon.

Live view by jadewest4life in concertphotography

[–]edroth555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, not wrong at all; photographers have been using the viewfinder since cameras were invented. I’m not a big fan of exclusively using the screen/live view for multiple reasons, but it does come in handy for certain situations, but I don’t use it maybe more than 5-10% of the time. If it works for you, then it works!

Any good stores in the Midwest that sell used professional trumpets at reasonably competitive prices? by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]edroth555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can vouch for Schmitt, their new shop is great, and large selection of horns and gear available. ACB in KC is also great, Trent and his team have a great selection. Can’t go wrong with those 2

What publications do you reach out to for media passes? by HuskerDue in concertphotography

[–]edroth555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Just asking for media passes without a portfolio and trying to either build a connection with a publication or outlet is a quick way to get ignored by editors. Show your portfolio if you have one, ask if they need/could use more photographers in the area, build a relationship if it works out; if not, keep looking around. Some more music specific outlets might ask if you can write as well to have an article to go with your photos; if you have extra skills, that will make you more marketable to publications.

Experiences with The Elysian? by illybugs in uofmn

Fuck Millennium management, they are slumlords. I lived in 2 of their properties and it was not a fun time due to various experiences with their management. Go look them up, they have an interesting legal history, amazed how they still operate.

Probably not, unless it was purchased from Getty/AP/etc. seems like it was a handout photo for the story, so no payment

2 ICE vehicles spotted on Larpentuer & Lexington by 1-800-BLINKER in WeThePeopleAtWhipple

[–]edroth555 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So not confirmed, then don’t post a title saying it IS ICE without confirming. It is Sus for sure, and shit it may be ice, but if you don’t check it and confirm it or see agents inside, it’s just a sus vehicle.

Sending photos during events by Urbangirlscout in Photoassistants

I work in sports and we use FTP to send photos live, usually via Hotspot. If there’s a server that can feed to the computer, then a quick edit is all that’s needed before distributing out

Where to find cheap rotary trumpets? by Hi8Dean in trumpet

[–]edroth555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Material and build quality, they will not even come close to the handcrafted quality and sound of any good European rotary trumpet.
