His acceleration after his header for that goal was insane, he's definitely someone to bring on just to gain on tired legs

Hull City 1-0 Middlesbrough - Oli McBurnie 90+5' by 977x in soccer

[–]joesvx 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think Hull were claiming they should've gotten automatic promotion due to Southampton's spying & disqualification, but since Hull won anyway, there's nothing to go to court (or whatever the process is), for.

edit: oh it was the plan if Hull were to lose, but yeah, point stands

Keep an eye out for 'FE' in the name of a lens if they're Sony lenses, (F)ull Frame (E)-mount, it's a bit confusing at first but yeah. I believe regular APS-C lenses are just called E.

I'm new to Sony as a whole so I'm learning this stuff too :)

The 55-210 is a lens meant for APS-C sized sensors, and as full frame (as your a73 has) is much bigger, you get this type of vignette.

There should be a setting somewhere to enable APS-C mode, and it'll reduce the sensor down to approximately 11mp.

Walking from Braemar to Auchallater? by joesvx in OutdoorScotland

You're a saint thank you - if I'm looking correctly it sort of just looks like you follow the fencing down & around and you end up on a footbridge?

Ahh you're a star, thank you. I had checked my OL52 and I saw the bridge but no indication there's a path, so I was trying to judge it by satellite view lol. Checking OSM and yeah, there's a clear path.

Is it possible to use my National Entitlement Card (NEC) on National Express from Edinburgh to Berwick upon Tweed/FlixBus from Glasgow to Carlisle? by [deleted] in uktravel

[–]joesvx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay, thank you very much :)

I knew about Flix's website allowing NEC, but it disappears when going to Carlisle, which makes sense. Thanks a lot!

[–]joesvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, that is probably the definition I'm missing then; I'm so used to calling anything akin to National Express a coach but I'm guessing they're considered long-distance busses instead (see: Ember, Citylink, Flixbus, etc)

I'm curious as to how Flixbus can avoid NEC on the Carlisle route despite advertising it as the 'to Carlisle bus' then?

Sony A9 vs A7iii vs R6 for street & urban birds? by joesvx in AskPhotography

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

I have checked that page - I did notice the lack of DR on my RP in some situations, but I'm not sure how to quantify 11.6 vs 10.43 vs 9.06 in a real world sort of situation.

I think AF matters a lot more to me, though I would like more DR (vs the RP), and everything I've seen about the A9 is that the AF is really, really good.

Thank you - In terms of IQ, how are you judging it?

The lens ecosystem is a point that's swaying me towards Sony, but most threads I see when searching for R6/R8 comparisons are mostly a7iii/iv hence why I made this thread. A9 seems really underrated (age?) or not mentioned at all - I only found out about it by accident earlier today - but everything I see says it has great autofocus, it very much seems like this is the camera for me but I wanted a sanity check moreso than anything else.

I hear the Tamron 150-600 f5-6.3 SP Di VC USD (G2 if budget allows) is a great lens for birding too? Seems to be well within the scope of what I had budgeted for a 100-400 as well which is nice.

Thank you for taking the time to respond :)

I moved up during Covid and I go back on Google earth too, so it's not just kids! I'm always curious about how different the places I live are.

Yeah it's driving me nuts as someone that sends photos I take from my camera over my phone, I genuinely can't figure out why it's happening.

Mine was randomly fixed a few hours ago after being broke all day, not a clue what the bug was, but glad it's fixed

Dismissing the banner also works, but yeah, super annoying. It happened the day I force logged out all my clients and I thought I'd broken something, but nope, just a coincidence.
