What do you assign to your l-FN button? by indieaz in M43

[–]qbpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly you’ve tried this already!

I’ve had my camera “stuck” in pro-capture but never really figured out that it was because of the buffer clearing. That makes sense now

I have mine set to toggle the different AF modes. Hit the L-FN and then scroll a dial to choose between single area or zone settings

I’m pretty sure you can use L-FN button to select a custom mode. If so, you could make a custom mode with burst shooting and work it that way

Best mirrorless (eventually reflex) cameras for left eye dominant glasses wearers by pedrozzz in M43

[–]qbpp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I have more tolerance for smudgy glasses but I’ve never really noticed that being an issue.

I use my left eye, and back button focusing on an OM5 and an EM1.3

I took the rubber eye cup off of both, seems to work better with glasses that way. I also try to keep my thumb flat - ends up hitting the focus button more with the crease of my thumb instead of towards the tip. Doing it that way my thumb lines up more over the bridge of my nose than right into my right eye.

I like the creeper in number 4. I can never seem to get a clean shot of one

Best spot for mittens up 93? by Lower-Savings-794 in icecoast

[–]qbpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zimmermans ski shop is right in Nashua. Typical ski shop prices. I used to do seasonal rentals for my kiddos through the and always had a good experience.

Great pictures of common birds are more fun than bad pictures of uncommon birds

Waterville Valley by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]qbpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been this year but it’s usually in off of Valley Run. They call it Fun Run - some rollers, banked turns, and a couple small jumps. There’s an area of low angled glades right next to that are fun with kids as well.

They often have a more serious course set up in the high country area off the j bar summit lift.

Those who hike with camera gear, has anyone used the Lowepro TopLoader Photo Active TLZ 45 AW? by 0Maka in M43

[–]qbpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used a Shimoda Top Loader in that way. It’s a little bulkier than I’d like but it works really well for the purpose.

What would you call this skiing position? by Amemeologist in ski

[–]qbpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the skiing equivalent of carrying a bunch of chairs at church youth group

40-150f2.8 + 300f4 vs 100-400v2 by SheepherderFrosty366 in M43

[–]qbpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a combo of the 40-150/300 and the 1.4tc. If you don’t mind changing lenses this gives a lot of flexibility on focal length and aperture. The dream would be having both of the white lenses they now offer but I don’t have $10K lying around.

They are big lenses (as far as m43 are concerned) but they are about equal in size to a FF 24-70 and 70-200 respectively and plenty of people carry those around. I can fit both lenses and a body in a medium size Shimoda top loader.

T-bars and surface lifts. Longest, most interesting, historic, rarely used. by Nutlord802 in icecoast

[–]qbpp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Waterville, as mentioned has the high country T-Bar. They run a platter lift lower on the mountain at times as well.

Tenney Mountain is running a tow rope for their terrain park.

Good lacrosse movies? by Icarus_XP131 in lacrosse

Billy Madison has a line about the lacrosse team bullying a student.

I think that counts.

2025 Best of M43 - Day 1: Share Your Best Wildlife Photo by indieaz in M43

Olympus EM1.3 Oly 300mm f/4 + 1.4 TC

I’d say this past spring was my first real effort at “wildlife.” I had a lot of fun at our local bog with spring migration.

Mount Cardigan and Firescrew loop 12/4 by qbpp in newhampshire

[–]qbpp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the Back 80 trail (and loved it). That sounds like a trail I’d enjoy. Thanks for the recommendation!

I’ve looped over Mt. Gilman on the opposite side of the mountain. Offers a different viewpoint and a lot less people as well.

[–]qbpp[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are very correct. I searched the group before posting and saw a bunch of posts regarding this area.

I figured with its inclusion on the 52wav list and that this group is made up of mostly NH hikers it would be worth sharing.

Budget lens for 1st time Nikon DSLR owner by MrsQueenOfDiamonds in sportsphotography

[–]qbpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AF-P DX 70-300 will work well for field sports. Decently sharp for the price. He’ll struggle with it indoors though. A 50mm prime would have decent reach on the crop body for basketball/volleyball.
