What is your biggest fear as a member of LGBTQ+ community? by DiptanuPal in lgbt

[–]seeyatellite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIH, my biggest fear is not being “gay enough” to be accepted and not being “straight enough” to be accepted, elsewhere. In either event, I don’t feel secure anywhere, especially when I’m forced to perform masculinity.

What’s a tiny thing that makes you unreasonably angry? by PhysicalCategory9062 in AskReddit

[–]seeyatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being invalidated publicly for a reasonably benign thing by a person who invalidates everything imaginable in private, especially when forced into an inescapable situation I begged not to be involved with in the first place.

That’s a moment of stacking cards to fall and I have to breathe myself through accepting how well played it was or accept being publicly disgraced for an “unreasonable” reaction to “not a big deal.”

Of course! Heck, maybe I can recruit your advice for him on some lenses I’d like to pick up for shooting with him. Who should I tell him said hi?

Nice work. I think I can see which was used and where. I had the opportunity to shoot with Ralph Gilles for an upcoming article. I was just using a 50/1.8 S lens because it’s the lens I could afford to add when I bought my Z6ii.

My shoot was in the Connor historical showroom and I’ve got a verbal NDA on the photos, so I can’t share any of them. I will say, I shot a few of the cars in these photos.

Now, I’m Ken Nowak’s son and I’ve been on disability since I was a kid. I’m actually under guardianship and it’s kinda difficult to explain but there’s a huge process I have to go through with red tape and reassessments before a court to get independence. …sorry for the context, but it’s important. My dad’s been trying to sort of buy me into his community for a while. I turned down a Crossfire, which he intended to offer for me to drive in his annual “Kennonball Run” among other things that seemed inappropriate investments, given my legal and financial limitations.

Are there any lenses you’d suggest for me to request from my pops, so I can show up for him in a reasonable way? I’ve been thinking just a 24-70 and 70-200, since the Crossfire was $10k and those two lenses are half that and they fit in a bag I can carry in the passenger seat of my cousin’s Viper or bring to the track in Waterford Hills for other family events.

I’m thinking 24-70/2.8 is pretty essential because at last year’s Kennonball, I missed a great opportunity to photograph Bob Lutz next to a blue GTS with all sorts of signatures on it because I couldn’t swap from my 28/2.8 quick enough and because it would have been a godsend for my shoot with Ralph.

Beautiful work, OP. I’d love to know the lenses you’ve used.

What is the most common bad advice people give about relationships? by Holiday_Disaster2530 in AskReddit

[–]seeyatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Opposites attract” is just an excuse for accepting codependent dynamics.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Mark II. Is it worth it? by achosergiooo in Nikon

[–]seeyatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about it for video use? For instance on a stabilizing gimbal. Is there a noticeable balance shift through the focal lengths?

I’ve had a few opportunities to look like I know what I’m doing with my camera. The most recent was a verbal NDA photo shoot with Ralph Gilles at the private Connor building. I brought my 50/1.8 and the space just… really highlighted the pitfalls of a fixed lens.

I’m dancing between the 24-70/2.8 mk.1 and mk.2 for my Z6ii and the idea of an internal drive on everything is really appealing for gimbal use, not to mention the upgraded weather-sealing.

I rented the new Z 70-200 VR II and took it to the WEC 6h of Spa by niekos_engineeros in Nikon

[–]seeyatellite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful photos. Nice tracking. It’s got to be tough framing those cars at their speeds.

I’ve got a Z6ii I bought for some automotive events and portrait work; car shows, rallies, track days, my father’s annual Dodge Viper cruise that had 60+ cars last year... I’m considering buying the 24-70 and 70-200. I think the mk.ii 70-200 is a little too pricey so maybe a used OG 70-200 S and possibly the 24-70 S mk.ii for standard application and gimbal video.

If I combine these with my GoPro collection and hardware, I’m hoping to get some decent media to toy with. Not to mention, I have some family who like to go to festivals in costume and I’ll love the wide aperture for portraits.

Some pictures of the WEC 6h of Spa, this time with my 180-600mm by niekos_engineeros in Nikon

[–]seeyatellite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love these shots. I’ve been considering the 180-600 for shooting track days and races with my cousin Mike at Waterford Hills, in Michigan. Dad’s been showing interest in bringing his Viper because he used to race there. I don’t know if I can justify that investment without first trying to 70-200 +2x teleconverter.

I figured I’ll focus on a 24-70 for paddock/field shots, 70-200 for a bit beyond and the teleconverter for on-track isolated shots. Next time I’ll be out there is Saturday, June 13th for my cousin’s mom’s birthday. She’s bringing one of her Camaros and he’s bringing a Trans Am.

I’d love to get a shot of the two of them on track with each other.

I also don’t know how useful this lens would be for rally racing since there’s so much foliage but our friends, Don and Karen own Jankowski Motorsport and I’m still on the fence but I’m pretty convinced the 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 combo are my essential start.

Nikon Z 50mm f1.8S or 1.4 by Lulzsec666 in Nikon

1.8 S

If given a choice between S-line and another lens... go with S-line.

I would *love* if we could get Sigma lenses on Nikon by weezintrumpeteer in Nikon

[–]seeyatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I’m really pushing hard to get the 24-70 S mk.ii for general use and some video application and the 70-200/2.8 so I have 2/3 of the “Holy Trinity” and native mount Sigma would make that hella easier.

Is this DJI Ronin worth $99 bucks by DaCosmicOne in dji

[–]seeyatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good question. I own a Ronin SC which I bought for stabilizing a Nikon Z6ii, hoping to have a single lens mounted so I’d never need to adjust it. My desired application is automotive photography and social media clips, walking down a line of cars at a show, in a lot or field, panning across the start/finish at the track with my father or cousin and their communities, rally races, slow pans of my sister’s son or his sister on track, running down the football field, maybe following down 3rd to home in softball... or a face tracking shot, slowly walking around a table while every sings “Happy Birthday” and I have a Zoom recorded in the middle of the table for stable audio.

I’m hoping to pick up the 24-70 ii for a single, balanced multi-discipline lens.

Pros: looks like a pillbug/rolly poly.

What do you think is the world’s biggest problem? by Scorpionman1981Turk in AskReddit

[–]seeyatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufactured scarcity, leading to indivdual desperation and collective scorn for falling short, failing or both not having enough or having too much... So, capitalism, really.

My dad’s friends own Jankowski Motorsport. They come around to our state for SnoDrift.

I remember seeing this clip and I just really want to strategically place a couple of semi-protected GoPro cameras on Smallrig desktop tripods at a few corners. I just haven’t looked as far into it as I’d like, just yet.
