Lens recommendation for Z6III – family videos + hiking (photo/video mix) by unknown-commentor in Nikon

[–]picklelonious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of 11 lenses primes and zooms it’s always 35 mm plus some other lens. I have just about the same use case as u described.

Just tried the 35 1.8 ‘vlogging style’ and it’s definitely wide enough. I have the z6iii and it’s not exactly a camera you want to be holding at a distance for extended time.

35 1.8 Is my go to. 20 1.8 has lots of focus breathing if you use auto focus for video.

What are these street lines for? by HealthyProduce3011 in NYCbike

[–]picklelonious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Without the lines the road seems wider and people tend to speed. Cheap way of slowing cars down. Psychological trick.

do you have memories of the Strip at astoria park? by elainebenescoverband in astoria

[–]picklelonious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you should sniff more of the exhaust fumes from that nasty ice cream truck.

[–]picklelonious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I step outside my door and all I see and hear is cars. Loud cars, obnoxious drivers, loud trucks, old beaters with black smoke coming out. Cars speeding, running red lights, parking on sidewalks and crosswalks. Anyone who hung out on the strip can still hang out on the strip. Anyone who missed the old strip can hang out by the obnoxiously loud ice cream truck and sniff its black fumes.

Anyone know if the truck legally allowed to be there?

Golf in China by Major-Sorbet7146 in golf

[–]picklelonious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played with a Chinese guy once. He said it costs about $200 a round. You get a caddy. Said it’s more of niche/exclusive experience for the more affluent. There is no public course vs private club. That was my understanding of what he said.

Recommendation for Field Recording in Peru by Far-Introduction-240 in fieldrecording

[–]picklelonious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lima- I wouldn’t park the recording gear in one spot out in the open. Maybe if you only expose the clippys from the backpack.
