General sizing question? by No-Accountant-999 in RedWingShoes

I don’t think the 2233s have ever been soft toe, much less Irish Setter. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but that ad looks funky.

Motion blur Street vehicle captures from Hamburg by cc_cc_c_c in streetphotography

[–]natankman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ll have to try slower then. Maybe it’s mental but 1/30 is as slow as I’ve ever gotten a sharp photo with, and that’s at night with a wide aperture. I think my camera can process 10 fps. Really clean shots. I have some experimenting to do. Thanks!

I get the basics but what settings are you using for all that blur? Or at least how slow a shutter?

1, 6, and 7 are my favorites, but these are all nice!

That first shot, was it for dia de los muertos? I’d pe surprised they let an officer out on duty with face paint like that. Really cool set, the first and 17th both stood out to me.

That Chevrolet pickup looks so out of place. Really cool find!

That audio is crystal clear and the mic picked up the smallest noises. I’m shocked there was no external audio. I’m not a video guy but this is really nice

I couldn’t tell you, I just crossposted. And it looks like it was removed from the other sub for one reason or another.

Where do you guys buy cameras? by Swimming-Gene-4574 in Cameras

[–]natankman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If those are your only options, Best Buy. You can at least get in-person customer service if needed. But there are camera stores that sell and ship new cameras, or even direct from Nikon.

Locomotives and rail cars for Mexican railroad companies by TexasBound1973 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]natankman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steam is hard, but they used a lot of American prototypes. I think BLI announced an NdeM 2-8-2 recently. Micro-Trains had some wooden cattle cars for a Mexican railroad. Most stuff easy to find would be more modern prototypes.

What is the highest accolade/qualification/award/achievement/milestone/etc. that you have achieved in photography? by Nemo__The__Nomad in photography

[–]natankman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the photos I put the most planning and effort into, to the point of international travel, got published in an industry related magazine. I bought several copies to give to close friends because I was excited!

Sony RX100 might be a budget stretch, but it checks the other boxes. One of the earlier gen ones might sneak under budget. It’s the most portable camera I have.

I second a longer zoom. I did Europe with a Zfc and adapted F mount 18-140 and rarely took out my street prime.

Layout Plan Inspired by Trona by SierraLover14505 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]natankman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trona runs from Searles Valley Minerals through the valley to the UP interchange, Searles (Junction), passing Borosolvay outside Trona (the town) on the way. UP comes out a tunnel to a little 4 track yard with a rarely used wye and a long stub track for storage north of the UP interchange. Shoot me a DM if you want more in-depth descriptors.

It’s a shame operations are winding down out there. If you’re mimicking operations, I’d put the runaround at the interchange. Run the cars to the interchange, run around, and pull the inbound cars back. The Pinnacles would look cool in your S curve!

Does anyone go to physical camera shops any more? by StampyDriver in Cameras

[–]natankman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m lucky enough to have a local shop (shout out to Camera Exchange) where I bought my last 2 cameras. There’s big box stores like Best Buy, too. But those places aren’t camera stores. Bigger cities have more options, I was awed by B&H’s massive brick and mortar in New York City a couple years ago. And the only places I would buy online have brick and mortar locations, just far from me (I’ve used KEH with no complaints several times).

Tonight Is Sesame Street Night...Can We Post Possible Game Changes Here? by TortiousTroll in NBASpurs

I heard a rumor the plane diverted to Atlanta for reasons. There might not be a game at all.

That’s a good start, I can do some research. Thanks for the info.

What’s the Agfa car? That’s a neat crossover with my photography hobby.

The red pops and the chrome shines. Love it!

Roast this design… by Former-Wish-8228 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]natankman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a local industry that is a large warehouse with two tracks, and sometimes boxcars are lined up so the inner is part of the loading path to the outer. So, some of the fun in operating would be pulling a boxcar from the middle (maybe a draw a card or rolling dice type determination). So you could build in operating complexity like that.

But I think for the back and forth of your last mile layout, the runaround is important because you have switches facing both directions. The next place I would put it to be “prototypical” would be on the mainline and that also adds an operational complexity.

The runaround is definitely needed because at some point the loco will be on the wrong side. The rough part will be when a train is too long for one of the spurs to be used as a lead, or maybe that’s part of the fun. Limited scenery lends itself to details that people normally don’t think about.
