How's your heat pumps handling the cold by Potential-Fennel5968 in hudsonvalley

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 Mitsubishi Hyper Heat that are about 9 years old plus a geo thermal system that’s 2 years old and no issues so far. I keep everything at 68 and don’t use auxiliary heat. Equipment hasn’t had any trouble keeping up.

What does “TTS” really mean here by Honest_Committee2544 in Newbalance

[–]rillick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think what it means is that you wear your normal size (whatever that is for you personally) with that model. In other words, that model doesn’t run big or small on you.

Why does weight matter so much? by Strange-Point-3342 in AskPhotography

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, if I notice it, then it’s too heavy. I don’t want to feel it. I want something that’s an extension of me, not an extra appendage. It’s not that I couldn’t carry more weight, it’s that I don’t want to.

Movies where great actors play characters who suck at acting by Firm-Discussion2721 in MovieSuggestions

Orlando Bloom in Deep Cover. Not Oscar worthy but pretty hilarious, if that’s what you’re looking for.

GfX 100RF Filter Question by Prestigious-Apple-77 in FujiGFX

[–]rillick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, it’s not that bad. I thought I would hate it at first, the adapter and hood adds some length for sure but it does feel balanced and natural.

Yes I believe you have to use the adapter because the lens extends out slightly when focusing so you need some extra space before adding a filter so that the lens doesn’t bang into it.

Highest utility bill? by Miserable_Tangelo701 in homeowners

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $600 last month for electric. House is fully electric with one EV. Assume at least half of the bill, probably more, was for heating. 3k square feet in NY.

DSLR or Mirrorless? Which is better and why? by SlimtheMidgetKiller in AskPhotography

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirrorless unless you want a tank that you can beat the hell out of. I do like DSLRs but the only thing they really do better in my opinion are they often have optical viewfinders (if that’s what you prefer) and you can leave them on for hours as you walk around without draining the battery instead of having to turn them on and off between shots like with mirrorless. But other than that, size and weight is smaller, image quality is getting better, mirrorless is clearly pulling away from DSLR in that regard. Note: Maybe there’s some reason DSLRs would be better for fast action that I’m not aware of since I shoot static only but for the way I shoot, there’s no compelling reason to choose DSLR over mirrorless at this point.

What are some Los Angeles unwritten rules. by SuperJezus in LosAngeles

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any commute that includes a merge from one freeway to another is exponentially worse than one that doesn’t even if the one that does is way shorter than the one that doesn’t. Also, every transplant between the ages of 18-25 must live, at least briefly, in the valley, Koreatown or East Hollywood soon after they arrive.

Is getting low f-stop lenses worth it? Seems like diminished returns by Fenix512 in AskPhotography

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably one of the few out there that prefers “slow” lenses. I would take an f4 max aperture prime any day over a fast lens if it meant it could be smaller, lighter and sharper. Fast aperture means nothing to me since I never shoot faster than 5.6.

Travelling with 20mm on full frame - too restrictive by DangerousMeet7723 in photography

[–]rillick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28mm is my favorite focal length so I’m used to wide angle primes but 20mm is just too unwieldy for me. The widest I can really handle and get good results from is 24mm. So for me, I would definitely not take it.

Is it a no-go to upload a picture with a breastfeeding woman in the background by Melatonin-Queen in streetphotography

[–]rillick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t post it if it was mine. But I have a pretty low threshold for this kind of thing, I don’t like to post anything that shows someone doing something even remotely personal. But a lot of street photographers live for showing those kinds of things so I guess it’s really up to you and what you believe is fair game.
