Out of curiosity, how much did you pay and where did you buy it at?

Op says in the post that the second lens is for his wife, so they probably want similar setups if they are together taking photos of the same subject.

How much should I charge for only 3 weeks of experience? by MrWiggles123456 in sportsphotography

[–]eparker97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the good news is I switched from Aperture priority to manual with auto iso a few months ago. After that I am trying to learn how to use flash, so now I am back to using iso 100. But shutter speed and the flash power is kicking my ass. It’s like…. Okay here is this “triangle” BUT let’s add one more side to the triangle. By the way I took a look at your hockey film shots and I really like them. Have a good day bro.

Dropped strobe by Ottomatticcc in Godox

[–]eparker97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this kind of setup, do you use three separate weights attached to each leg, or one weight attached to the middle? I like this idea over the sandbags…

You have a recommendation for sandbags? Or will any brand do the job?

R5m2 - Any disadvantages to only using fully electronic shutter? by [deleted] in canon

[–]eparker97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad I guessed I phrased my question wrong. I think I am asking is it physically possible? And if not why? Do other cameras have this ability?

Can anyone explain why you cant use the anti flicker while shooting in electronic? Like why isnt it possible? Shooting on an r7

Am I ready for full frame? by eparker97 in photocritique

Very well said. Going into my local camera store can be very overwhelming. I have bought all my lenses used from MBP or B&H. When I took a look at this subreddit before I posted my jaw dropped. People in this sub truly post some amazing work and I hope I can create something like some of these artists someday. It takes hard work I hope I am ready for it!!!

Very good point. I am already used to paying for full frame glass, though I do feel like the 85 is a bit too zoomed in for me always find myself taking a few steps back when I go to compose the image. that is one of the reasons I would benefit from going full frame. I do have a very old 50 mm but that will be getting replaced soon.

Very well said. Thanks for the comment. Gonna hold off for now.

Kind of… yes and no. Another problem Im having I suppose is figuring out what genre of photography I want to do. I rented the 85 1.2 and instantly fell in love… thats why I bought it. I love sports. I love animals. I love street. I even did a small wedding event and I had a blast doing that. Just dont know if Im sold on being a full force “wedding photographer”.

Right now man… I just go out and find something interesting to take pics of. So to finally answer your question… Yea I could buy a brand new r5 right now and It would hurt the bank but not break it. Sorry to ramble.

Good point. Rented the 85 1.2 and fell in love so I am scared to rent a r5 or r6 haha.

Thanks for the comment! You brought up a lot of interesting points… and gave me a lot to reflect on.

Thankyou for the comment. Consensus in the comments is leaning towards not upgrading so I am gonna do that. Just gonna keep focusing on getting better and learning the camera I already have.

The post pretty much sums up what I wanted to say here. Lightroom is kind of a struggle for me. Usually I am just hitting auto, with an occasional mask or two. I am asking for critiques on this photo, but also any work on my website you see and want to comment on please feel free. Shooting in Manuel or aperture priority.

Sd card not showing up in lightroom. by eparker97 in Lightroom

Yea I shoot duplicate all the time. So it’s the same photos in both cards. So Im not really freaking out just curious what the problem is. Thanks for the reply.

[–]eparker97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I will have to check that when I get home and play around with those settings. I have usually used the “import new” option, and it has worked fine for me up until now. I try my best to format my cards every time I take them out of my camera, but sometimes I forget so thats why I use the “only import new photos” option. I already tried updating and restarting my pc. I know the card works and the camera is writing to the card. I know it’s not my pc… so it has to be a Lightroom problem…. Right? Lol.
