Okay I'm in. Haven't shot in several months because of school, but when I'm done I'll 100% be back in the game. A few shots from the past..Pretty much city/landscapes for me.

Hope these aren't huge..

This year I did a Chucky Christmas shoot with my grand babies. It's been such a messed up year we wanted to do something fun!



Amazing as always everyone and Happy Holidays!

Spent a couple of hours out today exercising.

Grabbed this shot walking back to my place the other day, about 10 degrees outside.

Something different than the other incel threads this week.

Awesome pictures!

My parents new neighbors race a '72 Chevy Vega that runs 9s in the 1/4th

I'd love to get some pics like that

what camera setup do you have?

-------------------------------------------------

man all the pictures on this page of the thread are insane. if anyone could point me in the right direction for a budget setup under $5k, I'd love to hear it.

I have my X100V, but made a lot of money recently and would like to expand

here are my latest two favorites. not sure which I like better.

Thanks mate.

The camera was a 1Dx Mark II, but in my opinion, the most important thing is the lens.

For drag snaps, anything over 400mm (500mm if poss) will be what you’re looking for.

Nice landscape shots. I like the top one better because the subject becomes the transparency of the icicles and texture of the snow. The background then provides some depth and the sunrise adds warmth.

I did some research and ended up grabbing a FujiFilm XT3 with 18-60mm and 100-400mm to start. Not sure what the 18-60mm will be like, but I'm wanting to use the 100-400mm for a lot of wildlife

I've not been to a drag strip personally, so maybe I'll be able to go if / when they open up

have some disposable funds for some other lenses too, but just wanna jump in and see what I like and don't like before I buy some more stuff

Composition and getting "an eye" for the shots is something I definitely need a lot more practice with

if anyone has any good YT tutorials, or photography related channels to follow I'd love to see them

been a big fan of the POV Street Photography lately:

[PositiveCrew]

finally got all my parts in





hoping to shoot some elk photos this weekend or the next

have a trip to Utah and Alaska planned for this year as well

[PositiveCrew]

some photos from today with the 100-400mm

really loving that lense. it's so much fun. I just bought the 1.4x teleconverter for a bit more range without too much IQ degradation

[Fapadrol]

Another two from RAF Lakenheath

[PositiveCrew]

two of my recent favorites with the XT3 and 100-400mm





2nd pic would've been better with something like a 50-140mm, but I already had the lens on and was leaving the beach

invested $5k roughly and about to double that lol

right now I have a 16mm-80mm and the 100-400mm

thinking of getting:

10mm - 24mm f4
56m f1.2
50-140mm f2.8
80mm f2.8 macro

[zknarc]

Another two from RAF Lakenheath

Nice. I don't live that far from there, all they seem to do is play golf typically!

[Vikes723]

Got some film back and this was from my last disney trip before it all closed down again

The new toy Finally retired the 5D3 after 9 years of flawless service.



The family photo

a good friend of mine turned me onto the 52frames.com.
I started to try and do some PS work on those submissions..

week1:

[LieutenantGains]

Yesterday was Chicagohenge, happens at the beginning of spring and fall every year where the sun sets perfectly between the buildings.

"L.A.S.E.R.S"

[LieutenantGains]

Realized last night I never turned on the IBIS in my R5 lmao

Took this at 2 seconds handheld with my 24-70 f/2.8L II. Curious how much long longer I can hand hold with a lens that has IS. Still in awe over this camera.

oof at IBIS off. I shot for quite awhile on my 100-400 without it being on. was a world of difference once I switched.

I have a fully Fuji Kit right now, 2x Fuji XT3 + a Fuji X100v.

I jumped in without really knowing anything about focal length, exposure triangle, full frame vs APS-C, etc.

Thinking I'm going to upgrade to the Canon EOS R5 with 15-35mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8, 100-500 f4.5-7.1, 1.4x TC, and then see if I can grab an older 800mm f5.6 or something.

Been watching the videos and Canon's autofocus with animal eye detect is really amazing. I also would love to that increased low light capability from full frame, as well as 45MP for further cropping. IBIS will be good too

Edit: just did the math. all 3 Fuji bodies + 9 lenses and filters cost me $13.5K. a single R5 and 4 zoom lenses will cost me $15k. not to mention getting a used 800mm f5.6 is still like another $8k

The AF is so good it feels like military tech or something. I basically just leave it on servo all the time and let the camera pick the right focus point. Big change from manually selecting a point every shot like I did with my 5D3.

Hearing stuff like this might finally make me upgrade from my D800E. Sounds amazing.

for sure swapping to Canon EOS, just debating between 1x R5 and keep an XT3, or 2x R6.

my main concern is going from APS-C to FF. My most used glass is the 100-400mm with 1.4x TC, almost exclusively shot at 560mm and wishing I had more reach. that's 840mm FF.

I feel like the Canon RF 100-500 with 1.4x TC will be too small. I could use the APS-C crop mode in camera, but that takes the R5 from 45 MP to 17 MP or R6 from 20 MP to 7.8 MP....

So far most of my stuff is just FB / Instagram / Email for friends and family, but I would like to blow up some prints for around the house

Hearing stuff like this might finally make me upgrade from my D800E. Sounds amazing.

I have a buddy with the R6, and it really is like millitary grade. absolutely mind blowing tech.

with my current Fuji setup, granted my skill isn't great, I basically can kiss any BIF (bird in flight) goodbye. I used his R6 for a couple hours and had almost all keepers. it was insane

Do you have many Nikon lenses to offload? All this new technology is great if you're starting from scratch but jumping ship for a few gimmicky specs is an expensive exercise right down to new grips, batteries, memory cards, L-brackets, etc. Nikon Z9 appears later this year and it leapfrogs Canon again. And back and forth they go. Made in Japan still means something to me so I have much less of an emotional connection to Nikon than I did 10 years ago.

My first world problem is a) go all in with mirrorless, b) get a D850 which is 4 years old but still the best in its class, or c) wait for a D860/880/900 to materialize.

While some of the features on mirrorless are compelling I still can't get past the way they feel like a toy camera and battery life which is still garbage by comparison.

My D800E is 9 years old, preordered and got it May 2012, and aside from the rubber which needs to be replaced it performs like new. With a grip I love the way it balances with a 70-200 2.8 and I wouldn't get that with a Z7II.

[PositiveCrew]

broke down and got the R5.... $12k later and still more lenses to buy lol

Canon EOS R5 body
RF 70-200 F2.8
RF 100-500 F4.5 - 7.1
RF 800mm F11
RF 1.4x TC

I am so blown away by this technology. definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Nothing great yet, but a ton of fun tracking BIF (bird in flight).

full frame really lets you bump that ISO up. On Fuji APS-C I hated going above 3200. This shot was taken at 8:30PM EST at 1120mm, F16, 1/1000s, 12,800 ISO and handheld



I'm thinking the RF 28-70 F2 is a must. That'll hopefully allow me to avoid any primes in that range (23mm, 35mm, 56mm in APS-C equiv - the Fuji primes I have)

Then thinking either 15-35 F2.8 or Sigma Art 14mm F1.8 for landscape. Mostly for astro use.
