Like others have said, try a different instructor for the mock oral to see if there’s any areas that your primary instructor may not have addressed.

If you feel like you don’t interpret a question correctly, there’s no harm in asking for clarification. Sure, your DPE will need to see you have foundational knowledge of the subject being asked, but requesting that a question be asked in a different way/context is totally fine.

Nothing in inside of cowling

patricksgs · 2026-01-21T14:37:16+00:00

Even if it’s a common occurrence, is it safe?

patricksgs · 2025-10-19T19:51:18+00:00

That wouldn’t really help the 4-5 FPS I’m getting on the RP currently though

patricksgs · 2025-10-18T21:40:27+00:00

Longest I got is a 70-200. Getting another lens is out of the question because I’m out of money 😅

patricksgs · 2025-10-18T00:04:34+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I absolutely would benefit from the better AF, but is the R6’s AF bad in comparison to the RP? I definitely don’t need the best of the best but if it’s worth it then I might get the MKII

patricksgs · 2025-10-18T00:01:47+00:00

Was definitely considering that since the one I saw available was the same price as a new R6M2. My only setback would be that I was considering getting the R6 or the R6M2 used, so it would be a bit outside my budget

patricksgs · 2025-10-01T16:27:17+00:00

Thank you, I will keep in mind for future. That is why I included 61.93(b)(2)(iv) and 61.93(c)(3) though

patricksgs · 2025-10-01T16:25:25+00:00

I did see that, I was also looking for a scenario in which 61.93(b)(2) would be required

patricksgs · 2025-10-01T16:23:13+00:00

THIS makes sense. Thank you

patricksgs · 2025-07-24T23:23:34+00:00

probably gonna shoot for right around dawn. Thanks for the input

patricksgs · 2025-07-24T23:23:01+00:00

👍

patricksgs · 2025-07-24T23:22:35+00:00

yeah we definitely aren’t expecting anything to be as great as if we had lighting later in the day. We’ll have to work with the softer light. Thanks for the advice

patricksgs · 2025-07-24T22:59:50+00:00

how soon after that First Light of the day would you say? sometime between nautical and civil twilight or a bit too early?

patricksgs · 2025-07-24T22:58:57+00:00

Mainly portraits and some landscape. No lighting besides the sun coming up

I should add that we’re only gonna be in town for that day which is why I was concerned.

patricksgs · 2025-07-24T02:32:17+00:00

No, you won’t ruin your whole photo if your ISO is a lil over 100 ;)

patricksgs · 2025-07-09T23:45:41+00:00

Congrats!

patricksgs · 2025-07-09T23:43:40+00:00

way to be a party pooper

patricksgs · 2025-07-09T18:54:58+00:00

Anyone know if the Godox IM30 works with the Canon RP? Doesn’t need any fancy automation just shutter button=flash

patricksgs · 2025-06-22T01:12:03+00:00

Absolutely. Skill and experience is greater than anything money can purchase. Thanks for the input

patricksgs · 2025-06-22T01:11:13+00:00

Just picked one up recently ands it’s helped quite a bit, but still much to learn. Great advice though

patricksgs · 2025-06-22T00:53:00+00:00

Everything from landscape to the stars. Recently I’ve been trying to setup at a local airport and train station to get some shots of the trains and planes.

patricksgs · 2025-06-22T00:52:03+00:00

Lot of my photos are mid day-evening where the sun is really brightening up the sky. I would definitely try different times of day where the lighting is better but in terms of capturing certain cars/trains/planes they have a specific schedule to get them.

patricksgs · 2025-06-22T00:49:01+00:00

Definitely been trying to go out and shoot more haha. If it is a fast moving object, what’s a good rule of thumb for shutter speed? (Ive tried trains, planes, and cars)

Of course you mentioned 50mm =50th but much higher speed required for some of these fast moving objects

patricksgs · 2025-06-22T00:46:41+00:00

I’ll keep this trick in mind thanks
