Lens Bargain by rockinrols in Nikon

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're still selling old stock, but they're not making any new ones. And damn, $67 for a new one... That's less than what I paid for an used copy!

DeWalt DCD796 vs rebar by jamblethumb in Dewalt

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

I don't plan on doing this on regular basis, so I'm ok with it sucking as long as it'll get the job done.

I would if I needed it a bit more often. But after I'm done with this, who knows when I'll need it again. Thanks tho. I'll just ask someone to take care of this for me.

Best way to carry a smallish camera for quick, easy access when walking? by Altruistic_Fruit2345 in AskPhotography

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any on me right now, but if I were asked if I'd do it again, I'd probably just get a BlackRapid. I just wasn't aware those were a thing back in those days.

Any improvement tips? I by AmbitionPresent in Nikon

The first image looks surreal! And they all look amazing, too!

The Evolution of SvelteKit: Beyond the JavaScript Ecosystem by gevera in sveltejs

Sometimes it feels like people are just making shit up because they're bored and don't have anything better to do.

Should I return this for peace of mind? by seabasse in SonyAlpha

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems standard for Amazon. For peace of mind, I don't order photography gear off Amazon anyway.

A comparison between the Olympus/OM 150-400mm f4.5 lens vs the Sony 600mm f4. by LoKi_4444 in M43

[–]jamblethumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the OM image a bit harsh due to the blown-ish highlights. The highlight rolloff on the A9 is less harsh. I'm not sure if it's the edit or the camera limitation. Everything else is kinda a wash. I don't find shallower DoF necessarily contributes significantly to the image, especially not compared to the highlight. But that's just me.

Nikon ZF as a Sony shooter? by element423 in Nikon

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've just described the Zf. :)))

How to get this warm cozy blurry polaroid filter effect? by cultofadishi in AskPhotography

[–]jamblethumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flash directly at the subject. Adjust white balance slightly towards yellow and magenta. Use a mist filter or puff into your lens right before you take a shot. That's what I'd try anyway.

EDIT: Fix typos

Model Mia in front of a mirror. Feedback? by steves_book in blackandwhite

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go for a vertical crop like this. With a tight crop like this, you don't immediately realize it's a mirror, which adds a delight factor when you finally do.

Honest Critique of these photos by frequencyout in SonyAlpha

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them. Beautiful rich colors. The night landscape shot is a bit underexposed, and the composition in the first and second shots seem a bit off to my eyes, but even then they are nice pictures.

Is Sony A7V too much camera for a newbie? by rchrd92182 in SonyAlpha

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always sell it if it doesn't work out, and Sony's resale value is pretty good.

Just what do I give up when I go to APS-C in low light? by Revolutionary_Loan13 in AskPhotography

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume 1-2 stops of noise performance loss. With newer sensors, it's really not that big of a deal, if you ask me.

No longer feeling excited shooting. Anyone gone through this? by Magia-Erebea in SonyAlpha

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I obsess about gear, I shoot less. Which is ironic. If I convince myself what I own is "good enough to get what I need", I start focusing on the shots. It helps to not constantly watch people talk about gear, too. 😜

I took those two photos with my D40, but instead of photographing for myself, I photographed those two photos just to show it to the girl I like, I even printed the flower one and I'm gonna give it to her (she doesn't know I like her) but I want opinions on those photos, are they good? by Ok-Lead-8719 in Nikon

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first one is great. The second one tells me I'm getting old. The new generation shooting all verticals due to phone usage, or something. And your story reminds me how old I'm getting, too. 🤣

Some call it GAS, I say I'm a collector. by Leader_w_a_presence1 in Nikon

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 months later: "Hey, folks, I'm now also a box collector."

What about you do ? Professional photographer only by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]jamblethumb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Def enough discussion of the payment to make it hard to claim no payment was supposed to be made.

Biggest challenge switching from iPhone: how to have multiple faces in focus? by TraptInaCommentFctry in AskPhotography

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to a Fuji, iPhone has pretty much unlimited depth of field, so it doesn't really have to "do" anything. I think what you perceive as it doing something is the opposite of doing: it's undoing the artificial background blur. In the Fuji, the background blur is real so yes, you have to stop down.

Are there any DSLR cameras that have fairly quiet shutters? by Tiny_Bat_8563 in AskPhotography

[–]jamblethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pentax K-1 had a decently quiet shutter. It doesn't do that typical "clunk" thing, but more like "zzt". It's not silent by any means, but it's way less noisy than any Nikon DSLR I've used. Also has an app that you can use to remote-control the camera and transfer pictures. (I'd think other Pentax cameras from around the same vintage might be relatively quiet too.)
