I make a different catalog in Classic for every wedding. No way am I using Cloud and mixing all of them together.

For the area and median wages, it's expensive. Especially considering the longer driving distances to anything in the Midwest.

Wind was definitely worse for me in the Westfjords than the east part of Iceland. Just park into the wind so the vehicle doors don't get ripped off!

I made it easily in a Renault Kangoo that was only 2WD, though that was in July.

Could you loosen up the tension and just grab the end of the 100-500?

I have an R6M1 right now (same AF as the R5) and am thinking about upgrading to an R6M2 or R6M3 for the newer generation of AF. Can you talk about how the R6M2 or R6M3 compare to each other? I don't need the readout speed or the video features of the 3. Is there a noticeable, appreciable difference in AF between the 2 and the 3? (I primarily do weddings and events.)

I have an R10, and it has noticeably better AF than the R6M1.

RF 100-400. The flexibility far outweighs any aperture/blur concerns. At 300-400 the background is mostly gone anyway. This also gives you the option to photograph from the sidelines instead of always having to be on the slopes. Extremely lightweight too; when I first unpackaged mine, I laughed at how light it was—especially after being used to the big EF 70-200 2.8.

Or, I can also recommend the 24-240. Great stabilization and incredible range.

There are no stakes in that battle. Oh no, Buzz Droids; just scrape them off. And the usual wooded, stilted acting. Anakin immediately uncharacteristically resorts to murder, which never weighs on him. Will our two main characters and the main villain survive the first 15 minutes of the movie???

ROTJ isn't about the Death Star II. It's about the struggle of becoming a Jedi. (A philosophical Jedi, not the flippy kind of Jedi.) It's literally in the title.

Exactly. Which characters are on packages of Oreos? OT characters. Maybe Maul. No one in their right mind would buy any of the Episode I Pepsi cans if they came out today. Who's excited about a can featuring Chancellor Valorum?

This is engagement bait. They are not a beginner.

You're in a community of professionals who are recommending professional gear. R10 (or R7 if you really want to spend money) would be just fine for starting out. You can crop on that without issues and still have great quality for social media.

Get an R10 with an RF 100-400 and spend some on good memory cards and a nice case and strap.

If you were just starting out with sailboating, would you buy a top of the line sailboat, or would you buy a starter boat to learn on first?

Exactly. Maybe it works for portraiture or studio lit modeling, but events are messy: the photos should be messy and the emotions raw.

PixelatorOfTime

Any examples of articles/videos that talk about this—either for Spielberg or just in general?

PixelatorOfTime

Nah, don’t listen. Your original crop is better.

No if they lose the Senate, Alito and Thomas will retire in November and they will be replaced before the year is over. If they keep it, they will retire after the 2028 election is over.

$1, Bob. We’re gonna blow this target out of the water.

We usually just have our designers design things.

The whole channel is the absolute top for sports photography.

The 27 Developer Beta is excellent on my 12 mini. 27 should be safe to install at launch. It's really smooth and performance is great.

All it would have taken was one single shot of Palps sitting meditating with his hands and arms upraised as it cuts between Vader on the surgery table and Padme in the hospital and it would have taken an immensely sinister turn that would have salvaged the movie.

The 27 beta is honestly great. Once it drops for real, everyone should make the jump.
