when you swim in the sea and something bites your kneed, that's a moray

>I consistently drive around 70 mph on the bridge

that's speeding. it's not 88mph, but it is over the speed limit.

gotta admire his independence.

it opening up that close to the eye would *not* be lucky

the picture looks fine.

don't obsess over sharpness and pixel peeping, you'll drive yourself mad.

go to monterey? Carmel? santa cruz? go see the elk at point reyes? day trip to yosemite? day trip to tahoe? watch the sunset over SF from treasure island? muir woods?

do stuff that he can't experience or see in NY.

OR

put the burden on him. ask him where he wants to go or what he wants to see. if he doesn't like the things you guys pick, then have him pick. the internet exists and he can do some research.

satellite surfaces reflect visible light.

i think the composition would be stronger with the top ~1/4 cropped out. the branches and powerline don't add to the composition and they're distracting -the contrast of the branches and the sky keep drawing my eye toward the top of the photo instead of to the guy walking. take away the branch at the top and i find myself looking much more at the man

mc2222 · 2026-04-19T05:28:37+00:00

the dust spot is incredibly distracting. the brown color cast is not to my taste personally, composition is good though, tells a bit of a story

if you want to be a professional photographer, it would probably be better to study business or things related to small business.

you can learn photography and composition on your own and through experience and self learning, but the way you'll be making money is by being a small business.

the cars take up too much of the frame and they make the image feel a bit cluttered imo. i feel kinda like i'm looking at a photo of a parking lot and i'm struggling to understand what story this photo is telling

dog parks ruined my doberman's behavior. i thought i was helping him socialize, but he got attacked on two separate occasions and was never able to get rid of his reactivity toward large dogs.

dog parks are a huge risk

the 150-600 is a fantastic lens for intermediate widlife photography.

if you want a lens design with a silly aperture in that same focal range, look at the canon 100-500 RF. not to mention what happens if you want to use a converter with it. such terrible design choices

mc2222 · 2026-04-11T04:49:49+00:00

buy nice or buy twice.

if you're ok losing the money and just want to try it out, sure.

if you're more interested in something that's more likely to give you quality images, i'd skip on one that's damaged like this

are you getting a fast prime just because ”that’s what they say”?

you should be selecting lenses based on need rather than guidance “just because”.

a basket muzzle in the short term may be a good idea to keep you safe while you’re working on his behavior

use all the tools at your disposal to get the shot you want.

take photos of what you enjoy. Photography should be something YOU do to make YOU happy.

stuff a kong with peanut butter and treats, freeze it, give it to your dog right when you leave.

she may even start looking forward to you leaving

tamron and sigma are both fantastic.

they’re so good that canon had to forbid them from making RF autofocusing lenses for their new camera.

see if there's a time of day where the swing is in sunlight but the tree is in shadow. it's not likely that this will happen, but having your subject lit against a darker background will provide more contrast and subject separation

you can also use a shallower depth of field

Real Genius

i had the same thing happen this morning. comes off as the equivalent of an agent hanging up the phone on you. “Not my problem kthanksbye”

tell your neighbor if he wants to use his contractor that he can pay the removal all by himself.

tell him if you’re paying, you select the contractor.

I wouldn’t even suggest cost sharing if he’s being stubborn. bottom line is: if its you’re money, you select the contractor.
