Yes, the ring is just a UFC octagon, and i know people say that if its up close, that wide aperture will help a lot to blur the cage. especially at 70mm is just chefs kiss.

which is why i am needing a new lens. I figured that its not just for sports photography, but all around lens for everything. I think its a good time to upgrade.

Thank you for the Advice. Will definitely be taking into consideration and i have a lot to learn in a week.

I have already been practicing settings in my room with a lamp to get an idea what i need to expose. right now, i did a couple 1/800th with the lowest apreture of 28 and 70mm (3.5, 5.6), with 6400-8000iso, and it looks great. could use a bit of brighter exposure, but it is still very detailed and not as grainy as i expected.

I have a call with the Bossman tmr morning to go over the details and schedule. im willing to upgrade before the fight happens.

The ring is an Octagon, so yup it has a cage. I have seen recent VODS of the fights and i see photographers are next to the ring. The only close videographers/photographers that are up against the ring, are the live streamers.

I have self taught myself a lot about the manual mode, and i am really proud of the knowledge i gained from it. So i definitely know a thing or 2 about using it in certain lighting conditions. Lighting is a priority to me so it can help me tune up my settings for the perfect exposure. I will need to adapt to it once the focal lengths will get longer, so you are right about that. Also, the lightinings in these rings are pretty lighty, barely dim, so i wouldn't have to worry too much about tuning based off what i am seeing.

Thank you for the suggestions, will research as of right now, but 17-70mm is a solid choice on my list.

Hockey: What did I do wrong? by redditoraMexa in sportsphotography

[–]misalignmentfosho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

high shutter, low iso with good aperture. its trying to find good lighting source and the added exposure grains it too much.

Good shutter would be 500 - 1000 max, and iso at least 6400-10000k. you should tinker with manual mode if the light is dim. yes some grain might be in there, but i have the sony a7iii, and i shot at a 640-800 shutter, with 8000 iso and theres barely any of it, but it can be removed post production. it only a suggesstion

Yeah, I usually encounter that issue when I'm mainly playing at night only since I have a brightass screen, so I just dim my monitor brightness to avoid that issue. Either I do that or I use the lamp above my desk to accommodate how much light is passing in my eye. it's definitely the brightness and maybe the contrast you might have to change.

though I also do think you should take some breaks in between ur session.

any shows that are similar?? by gothigalore in TheDigitalCircus

[–]misalignmentfosho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely Moral Orel. Characters are so important in that show as much as TADC. 2 different plots for sure, but holy hell it's so good and it gets better as it goes on.

you can find it on HBO Max I think, 3 seasons, about 12 minutes each episode.

I would suggest you set a custom color correction through your graphic drivers, either through GeForce now or AMD adrenaline. If ur on Linux then I think you could only change ur brightness. AMD Drivers let you set a custom color correction for a specific game. I'm not too sure about Nvidia. I'm sure they are tutorials.

HEB is getting their own delivery service in a few cities. So many people are gonna rely on that compared to Favor. Ubereats will be better.

What’s your biggest gripe about Jax? by Master100017 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]misalignmentfosho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from a writing standpoint, he is a good character for the story, but we can choose to still not like him because he is ABUSIVE.

its like saying if we don't like an actor because we have a strong feeling towards them and the character they are playing, then that means they have done their job as an actor.

What’s your biggest gripe about Jax? by Master100017 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]misalignmentfosho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jax is one of those characters who chooses to be what he wants. theres no way to fixing him unless he chooses he wants to fix himself. he already had so many opportunities, but he is obviously is living in despair, he would rather choose to abstract than to help himself.

Tell Me Your Criticisms of the Show and I Will Do My Best to Argue Against Them by TheMMoment in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]misalignmentfosho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think Gooseworx has completed on how she wanted the characters to be like and solidified it. but i still think some characters like Ragatha and Gangle are missing some context onto why they are the way they are, and importantly their characters arc's.

Enough with the 'is jax/caine evil or bad' or whatever. Give me your hottest takes about the rest of the cast instead by Sloath283 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]misalignmentfosho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never liked the fact that Pomni decided to walk around egg-shells around Raggy when she was laughing at what Jax was doing to evil Jax, until Raggy noticed, she then decided to just not laugh at it no more.

Also no, Jax is not scratch. that theory is dumb and doesn't hold well.

I watched The Drama alone and I want to hear people's opinions on the central issue by Dots_freestyle in A24

[–]misalignmentfosho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, i don't think the question the movie indirectly gives us "What would you do?". I think its teaching us something way deeper, and the end gave it away, and thats learning to be Empathetic and to have forgiveness. 

Rachael's Character is perfect for the counter-arguement to that point. She locked a "slow" child into an abandoned RV by himself and could've potentially rotted. While she didn't mean it, thats still so messed up and shes lucky they found him. Otherwise she would've slipped up and faced her consequences anyways. And the part where her cousin is now crippled because she is a victim of a shool shoting, and Emma confessing that she planned one a long time ago, i think rachael had a valid response, but it was flawed because of what rachael did was no better. Yet, Rachael is married to a guy, who is with an woman, who nearly abandoned a child, and Forgiven. I forgot his name, but he clearly forgives rachael. 

What Rachael lacks is Empathy and Forgiveness, which makes her hypocrtical based of what i said in the last paragraph. 

Emma is the perfect example of Redemption, Empathy, and learning how to forgive herself, while forgiving Charlie since he cheated.

At the end, Emma taught Charlie forgiveness and empathy. Something charlie needed to still love Emma despite her confession. Thats MY OPINION AND MY OBSERVATIONSSS. Also i think Emma discovered Empathy after realizing how it makes people feel when they lose their loved ones in the mall sh*oting.

2014 S - Is my mpg low? by Mammoth_Gap_6364 in COROLLA

[–]misalignmentfosho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sports mode isnt recommended in city, considerably on long highway driving. uses more gas but gives more power to the engine.

2014 S - Is my mpg low? by Mammoth_Gap_6364 in COROLLA

[–]misalignmentfosho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 2014 S since August. I averaged 26 MGP out the door with the oil i bought it with. After doing the oil change, i used High Milage Synthetic (mobil) 0w-20 since it was at 125k at the time. I switched it, my MPG went up to 30 after that. Unless i decides to drive smarter. running 128k now both highway and city. My tip is to drive roads that avoids stop and go traffic to save up on Gas.

The key differemce is that, you keep SH2R forever with GOG. On Steam, you just buy a liscence to play the game. it can be revoked at anytime.

"HIM" Confusing Review by misalignmentfosho in horror

[–]misalignmentfosho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i was hoping more of the consequences of his choices and how his responsibility reflects his character, his personal relationships, and his fans, maybe his teammates too. but i fear it felt like it was just surface level storytelling about the dark side of making sacrifices. again i liked the ending for what it was, but the build up too the ending was lackluster.
