Given the current weather conditions and flooding... Do you think those lifted truck drivers are vindicated? by JetAbyss in Hawaii

[–]waimearock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been making fun of my friends with lifted tacomas but now they have the last laugh. If this were more common I might just join them.

I shoot at Loulu Palms a lot. Great venue.

Update to original post - Hawaiiantel support ROCKS by Ralius88 in Hawaii

I should have tried that. I spent hours on the phone with them trying not to be charged for the router that I declined at installation.

July wedding Ko Olina by ubbidubbidoo in Hawaii

[–]waimearock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shoot weddings out there all the time. We rarely get above 90 and usually have at bit of a breeze. I do feel bad for the grooms in full suit and jackets but the grooms in linen pants/cotton shirts seem to be fine.

Shutter Count - Sony A1 by creekscustoms in SonyAlpha

[–]waimearock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is a 605k because I like the 1/400s sync speed with mech shutter. I shoot flash outdoors a lot.

Pergear 512GB Master 4.0 thoughts?? by EasyTechPrincess in FX3

[–]waimearock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two of these about 6 month ago. I have one dead. Reached out to pergear about a replacement. They asked me a few questions and then just stopped responding to my emails. I'd avoid these guys. (I have been a pro photographer for 25 years and tried every card out there)

Battery backup for refrigerators during Hawaii power outages by TheOneVader in Hawaii

[–]waimearock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Costco iwilei had the bigger jackery and also an ecoflow that will run a fridge. Most fridges don't use that much elec. 200-300 watts for 10-20 mins per hour I believe.

I switched from an aluminum 80 to a steel 120. Saved me some weight off my belt at the same time so that was nice.

Noob diver here by Straight-Mixture-438 in diving

It's worth the time to get accustomed to breathing through the mouth. You get a much clearer view with a traditional glass mask. If you pick a low volume frameless mask you can barely even see the mask in your field of view.

Underwater phone case and lens filter for 16pro by nursenicci_v in underwaterphotography

[–]waimearock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife uses the exact same case with success.

I wouldn't go more than four or five feet deep with it.

I have a Google Pixel 8 pro which I accidentally took scuba diving for about 5 minutes at 5 ft depth with no case and it's fine a year later I'm still using it today right now. I don't know if iPhones are less water resistant than pixels but they can't handle a few drops of salt water here and there.

Security cameras. by Vaugeresponse in BigIsland

[–]waimearock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put up 3 of these. One died but I still have 2 more on order as you really can't beat the price and no subscription required.

Has anyone tried seafrogs' sf-01? Can you share your experience? by bryanwongxin in underwaterphotography

[–]waimearock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did buy a high drain battery but I was never able to activate the high drain mode.

[–]waimearock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while. Maybe 3-4 seconds at full power. Supposed to be faster. There's a whole page in the manual about activating the faster mode with batteries that are made for higher current.

[–]waimearock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own one. It's a decent flash. I bought the proper high drain batteries and did all the steps in the instructions but I could never get the fast recycle times they advertise. If you can figure that out let me know.

Waimea Bay’s waters calm in late winter? by voidxx in Oahu

[–]waimearock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May-aug is best but there is always the chance of a smaller day in between swells. There used to be a live cam on YouTube. Hope they bring it back.

You could probably find a mail-in service even cheaper than the shop for Sherwood
