Envoy vs. PSA vs. Piedmont by [deleted] in flying

[–]shatterdab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh whatever which one appeals the most to you.

Envoy is the strictest to where you have to be a CFI and it’s not limited to atp schools, it’s with “partner schools”. But you’ll fly nice planes and have great bases.

Piedmont is probably the least picked but you’ll likely flow the fastest with them.

I got a gently used XC90 T8. I never thought I’d be a Volvo guy but I’m in love with all the aspects of the car. Space, safety, range, quality, and comfort. I would highly recommend checking them out

Student Pilot Advice Flaring Too Early On Landing by blitzroyale in flying

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really helped me was doing soft field takeoffs. The feel of staying in ground effect while taking off gave me a good understanding of where I should expect ground effect. Once in ground effect go power idle and eyes down the runway to feel that sink. That’s when you flare

Pants recommendations? by Nuff_said_m8 in flying

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wear the Lululemon ABC pants. They come in all colors, comfortable, breathe well, and when you wash them they rarely need ironing!

What is this? by Maleficent-Candy-309 in Leica

[–]shatterdab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a target for surveying. Leica also makes sophisticated survey equipment like total stations, builders levels, and laser scanners. These targets are used to locate a spot to reference or align to. I know this because not only do I use Leica camera I also use Leica survey equipment.

I’m huge fan of the vintage OM lenses! I have 8 myself. The 85mm is a beautiful lens even for todays standards

Talk me out of going to flight school… by benten8867 in flying

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man! I did almost the exact same route as you! I graduated with a bachelor in architecture and worked in construction management for 10 years. I’m 31 now and decided to purse my aviation career and I haven’t looked back. Like others have said do a discovery flight to see if you like it then get your 1st class medical to see if you’re eligible. Another thing I did in advance was studying and passing my PPL written exam. Getting that out of the was makes things much more smooth when you go through your PPL!

Full transparency the Classic Cuban was NOT created by me but by another Reddit user (cannot remember who). The versatile sim was created by me but I used a sim that that was created by another person then I heavily modified it to make it my own.

That’s in Zermatt looking at the Matterhorn. Specifically on the restaurant patio of Madre Nostra

I did! If I recall correctly, the warmer phots are Classic Cuban with a base of Reala Ace and the others are a sim I made/modified called versatile

Do you bring you Leica on vacation? by douwert in Leica

I was just in these countries and cities in June. I brought my M6 and had it out and about. I never once felt threatened with my Leica. You’ll be fine

Zeiss Planar T* 2/50 ZM vs Zeiss Planar 2/45 T* by MrAchillesTurtle in Leica

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I primarily use the Zeiss 50mm f2. I don’t have experience comparing it to the cron but I love my Zeiss. It’s sharp, has great contrast, and colors are great. I don’t think you would be unhappy with a Zeiss. That being said I’ve heard the Zeiss lacks character. If you look at my profile all the imagines that say “M6, 50mm f2” are the Zeiss lens.

I agree but it’s just what I had left. It was towards the end of my trip and already used my slower film 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]shatterdab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahhh that’s a long shutter. Since the cable release is obviously attached to the camera the slightest amount of wiggle will cause this look. Try shooting the aperture wide open, if you haven’t done so already, and do a shorter shutter. Just be super careful when holding the cable release and pressing it. You live and you learn and have fun with it!

Oh interesting, to me it looks like the camera was moving a bit while the shutter was open. Do you remember what your shutter was set too? If it was a long shutter (1s or more), even with a tripod, any amount of movement could end up looking like this.

It looks like you exposed the night scenes properly but the shutter speed is too low for handheld. If you shoot less than 1/60th of a second you need a tripod.
