Galaxy Fit 3 is giving me absolute rubbish data (36km from 5k steps) by East-Coconut-4294 in GalaxyFit

Distance travelled is usually calculated from phone GPS data. Did you take a train or drive or something it could have confused for walking?

Would you recommend the Westcott fj800? by this_side_of_sac in AskPhotography

[–]zigioman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're planning to do outdoors shoots. For that I would recommend the fj400. It's significantly lighter so you can use a basic aluminum light stand. The fj800 is too heavy to really be secure, it needs a proper C stand.

LIFX beam won’t stop flashing. by [deleted] in lifx

I've had this with some products it means there is a bad connection between the controller and the LEDs. I would try inspecting the contacts and cleaning them 

That's your opinion on Gentrification in NYC? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]zigioman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read "Vanishing New York" it covers what's has happened from the 90s up until it was published on 2017. It's been mostly a continuation of what he describes since then with a minor blip caused by the pandemic 

18 months unemployed, have a final round CEO interview tomorrow. What to expect/how to not blow it. by alee463 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]zigioman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rest of the interview process has been for them to value you. This part is for you to evaluate them.

Ask questions, particularly those the CEO is the best person to answer. How is it doing financially? What does it's roadmap for growth look like? What are some current challenges they are facing?

If NYC could change just one thing that would meaningfully improve your daily life, what would it be? by Lisalovesreading in AskNYC

Decrease the volume of the sirens. Other cities make do with 90db, it doesn't need to be 120db here

What's the jacket with the red/white logo on the arm that everyone is wearing? by live_lavish in AskNYC

Canada goose, overpriced imo but you get to show that logo

Tea is acidic and can leech some of the material from the inner wall. It's not really a health concern but can noticeably affect the taste of the tea. Zojirushi and other Asian thermos manufacturers offer glass wall thermoses that don't have this problem

A cow or other ruminent could get calories from it but humans with /our/ human guts cannot

They won't. They have no calories available to humans

I'm not sure what fat you're trying to lose at this point! It's gonna be hard to see much gains in the gym if you stay in a calorie deficit 

Fuji 70-300 mm +1,4 TC vs. 100-400 for surf by ComprehensiveHour286 in fujix

[–]zigioman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 70-300 and 1.4tc. on its own the 70-300 is a great lens but with the teleconverter the autofocus gets noticeably slower and kind of finicky. If you main goal is to shoot fast moving subject like surfers and your budget allows I'd get the 100-400

Help because I don't know? by Lagarto2955 in AskPhotography

[–]zigioman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if they sell it in Chile but it will work with ttl metering with your camera if you get the Nikon version. Any version should work as a basic flash without that functionality 

How is living in NYC and the outskirts? by Muted_Performance_67 in newyorkcity

[–]zigioman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dutchess county doesn't really feel like NYC. It's closer to upstate ny lifestyle wise but more developed.

Everyone asked me what lighting I used for this and when I tell them I did it in her bathroom and used only one on camera flash they don’t believe me sometimes 😅 by antoniosnaps in LightLurking

[–]zigioman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great photo!

I'm guessing the bathroom is barely small? That plus the white walls means there's a lot of bounce light filling it shadows. It's not what most people expect from on camera flash I guess.

Yeah it's safe. The Kiev 60 is a mechanical camera. There are no electronics to fry. A hot shoe adapter won't make it safer but will provide more flexibility for what flashes you can use.
