  1. Are you shooting sports most of the time? I would think you'd be lugging the $$ long lenses on monopods all day.
  2. Digital: Canon 1DX MK2, 24-70, 70-200 Film: Contax T2, Canon EOS 3. Never use, but love: Polaroid 195, Pentax 67 I'm a huge fan of B&H Photo, but I have to say, I bought my really expensive gear at BestBuy on their card. You can request 24 month, zero APR on big purchases. It also helped that when I was an assistant, I would rent my gear to photographers mostly as the backup gear and it helped pay for it.
  3. Sorry, I'm out of the loop. What's the knock on this kid?
  4. This, exactly. I remember talking with friends about how Fincher was basically given 20M more per episode of Mindhunter from Netflix than any other network bidding on it. Netflix has the money and isn't afraid to use it. Plus these types of movies almost always play well and especially with this cast. On another note, I lived on this block where they shot for about a month (Orchard and Broome in the Lower East Side). They had art departments come in, put up fake building facades, paint exteriors and then have dudes out there 24/7 watching and guarding the sets. "Umberto's Clam Shop" in the movie was right there on the NE corner of the block. Cool to see. The Knick (Showtime) also did something similar years back, but with horse and carriage and dirt all over.
  5. Famous Jay Maisel building down on Bowery. Bought for about $100k in 1966 and sold for $55M a few years back. Legendary historic site that hosted a ton of graffiti down on Bowery. Interesting look inside the building and the photographer.
  6. This is a beautiful visual. Thank you.
  7. What was this about? The tweet he replied to is deleted.
  8. Yeah he’s just taunting you guys at this point. Nobody beats the bot.
  9. Are we really expecting Bowman to commit? Or is this a top 10 situation?
  10. The rare hipster-meathead species caught in the wild
  11. Minneapolis last week for work. This building caught the reflection of the sunrise on the front facing side, and the sunset on the edge (shown here)
  12. Thanks. 2021 is coming on like gangbusters and I can’t keep up.
  13. For those who don’t keep up as closely (me included): https://247sports.com/Player/Jordon-Thomas-46080871/
  14. I think there is a very general rule that you should never have your shutter slower than "1/focal length of lens". So if you're shooting a 50mm, you should never be slower than 1/50s. But with your subject being a child and a dog, the faster the shutter the better since they're probably not going to sit still for you. It's possible that your focus point in the camera was on the grass and that is why other parts are soft. But since you were at f/18 then you had a huge depth of field and kinda covered for that missed focus on your subject. ISO 100, f/18, 1/25s is the same exposure as ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/200s. You're "opening up" aka making it brighter on aperture, but subsequently "closing down" aka making it dark on shutter, but yielding the same exposure. That chart that Anton posted is good. You just need to keep shooting, pay attention to settings and you'll start to pick up what the differences are and where you're getting the best result.
  15. Yeah. Probably camera shake. You don’t want to be shooting at 1/25 of a second.
