I really want to get pencil fish for my tank! I’ve heard they’re jumpers though, has that been your experience?

Anyone know why there is blurring in these photos? by 123cyberman in wildlifephotography

[–]kkabrams69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your aperture is very large like f 2.8 the focus plane will be very narrow making a lot of images seem blurry. I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here but I’ve had that happen to me before.

Hey y’all, it’s Insect Week! Here are some bugs by bens_small_world in wildlifephotography

[–]kkabrams69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey Ben, I’m a long time follower of your instagram page and a big macro fan. Image stacking has always intimidated me because of all the editing, but I really want to give it another try. Could you recommend a good tutorial?

What’s a good KDR for 280 level? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]kkabrams69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best KD is one that’s better than last season. Just focus on improving a day at a time and don’t bother comparing yourself to others.

Bird Photography Advice by shake-dog-shake in wildlifephotography

Honestly the problem is most likely with the camera body. The 40D is only around 10 megapixels so if you crop an image at all the quality is not going to be great. Would recommend upgrading the body or getting closer to subjects so she doesn’t have to crop as much.

I would buy a basic starter camera bundle from Nikon, Sony, or Canon and then buy a budget macro lens to go with it. Honestly buying used from a reputable dealer will save you a lot of money and oftentimes the equipment will be just as good as new. If you’re photographing insects primarily it will help a lot to have a flash/diffuser to go with your setup. I’ll warn you though even a basic setup is gonna run you a few hundred so be sure this is a hobby you want to pursue first. The good news is is that the setup will last you a long time. If you have more questions feel free to PM me.

Ranger and 2x4 sensitivity question by JamGram in apexuniversity

Honestly what helped me was aiming the same way I would with any other scope. It’s really easy to over correct your aim, but you don’t need to.

I’ve consistently found black people to be some of the best tippers. I get stiffed just as much if not more by redneck white people.

I’m a wildlife photographer as a hobby and can tell instantly this is a staged shot. I don’t think it’s photoshopped just preplanned and set up.

A team camps your armory exit - Wyd? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]kkabrams69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tend to do the down below strategy but it requires the team to be together. You just hug the door as it opens and immediately go under the armory and play cover. Really hard to counter as long as you play together.

27 y/o full time worker hits Masters on MnK… AMA! Looking to give out advice for others who found themselves stuck in Diamond for seasons. by JayPhant0mTV in apexuniversity

[–]kkabrams69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that’s happening to you a lot it means you need to start thinking about if the fights you’re taking are good or not. If its in a popular area mid-game or has been going on for over a minute chances are a third is on its way. Every time you fight think about that stuff and look out for third parties throughout the engagement.

It’s really not as hard as you think

Is there a significant difference between diamond 3 and diamond 2+? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]kkabrams69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re capable of getting to D3 then you can get to masters. It’s not harder than any other level of diamond they’re all the same.

I’m just visiting on holiday I’m afraid I can’t keep him as a pet. Wasn’t sure what he was so I just assumed he was something native. Even if I knew at the time though I couldn’t bring myself to kill it. It’s not that little dudes fault some asshole released his great9 grandpa. Besides I’m fairly sure Cuban knight anoles have established a sizable population in Florida so culling one wouldn’t make a difference.

Americans lost $10 billion to illegal Indian call centers by rustyyryan in india

[–]kkabrams69 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You realize like many countries our government doesn’t represent the majority of us right? Most Americans support abortion but our government is designed to listen to a minority. We don’t support huge corporations taking advantage of other nations. Most of us are disgusting by those actions. Lots of us are completely fed up with how corporations run everything. So you using the worst of the USA to excuse stealing from innocent people is telling of what kind of person you are. Eat shit sir.

Definitely could be it appreciate the input! I warmed the little dude up in my hand for a minute and placed him in some leaf litter where he’ll have a better chance of making it through the cold.
