[brittle bridge]

oh fire

[brisk hinge]

he went and saw it the other day

[delicate silo]

W

[brittle bridge]

kinda funny how they were lifting it out of the water

looked like they were just using people to lift it up

[uneven fog]

It was

Mostly the blue Angel bank

Speaking of

[brisk hinge]

oh yeah send me the blue's freqs

i don't think i have them

[uneven fog]

Can you pick up the TB with the bearcat, I tried 2 years ago and just couldn’t get em

[brisk hinge]

haven't tried

[uneven fog]

Standby like 2 seconds

[brisk hinge]

i've only seen TBs twice i think

[uneven fog]

Games gone

I hoped airdot would stay out of the military shows

But it looks like not

@brisk hinge This is your fault somehow

[brisk hinge]

💀

you deserve this

[uneven fog]

120 dollars for ONE front row reserved seat

[uneven fog]

I am NOT going to that poverty ass show

Columbus clears that dump by a mile

[brisk hinge]

insane

[uneven fog]

And I already have to be in Ohio that week

[brisk hinge]

just work the show and get it for free

[uneven fog]

Teach me audio

[shy horizon]

meh photos but wow an L-29 straight above my house !!

[pure flax]

would anyone know where or what the serial number and registration to this aircraft is? MV-22. I can’t seem to find any record of it and i’m trying to upload it to jetphotos.

here’s the image if this helps as well

[flint smelt]

Shouldn’t have mentioned jetphotos bro

[flint smelt]

[pure flax]

Why?

[flint smelt]

This chat is against them

@delicate silo

[delicate silo]

hi

@flint smelt

[flint smelt]

Hello

[delicate silo]

jetphotos ahh crop

also get some prop blur come on!

[pure flax]

I’ll refrain from uploading,

I mean they are quite strict so probably won’t be accepted anyways

[flint smelt]

Acting like bro gets prop blur

Jk

[delicate silo]

go ahead

we just hate on jp

[trail pelican]

my crop is better

this is getting photo of the week fo sur

[trail pelican]

but yeah no way this is getting into jetphotos, its backlit

[pure flax]

Yea, oh well I guess

[trail pelican]

if only it was backshot..

Rhino demo - “our show season is not cancelled and we may add more shows!”

That guy- “nope it all points to the season being cancelled there will be no navy tac demos this year”

How do you have the proof right in front of you and then just like decide to not believe it

[uneven fog]

F-35A demo might be done for the year 😭

[brittle bridge]

why

There’s other performers but this the only major one

And I guess Randy ball

[uneven fog]

Video already got deleted but he was about 40 feet away from the ground

coming out of some vertical maneuver

Either started the pull too late or was too slow

Or some software issue

[brittle bridge]

😭

oh nah

[rocky coyote]

12 metres??? That could have been so bad

[delicate silo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/dont-even-joke-lad

I need that demo man

[brittle bridge]

real

[delicate silo]

I wanna find a vid

of what happened

@uneven fog

[dark hare]

ruh roh

can we find ts video

I wanna see

[brittle bridge]

Lemme know if u find

[delicate silo]

I tried

[brittle bridge]

Same

[dark hare]

i also tried and couldnt find anything

whered you hear about it @uneven fog

[flint smelt]

I was gonna send the link to it from insta, but as soon as i clicked on it again, it said it was deleted…

Wonder why he took it down

[brittle bridge]

shouldve saved it

[flint smelt]

Didn’t think it would get taken down

[brittle bridge]

well shouldve just saved it for the memes

[flint smelt]

Rambo shittin bricks after that

[delicate silo]

glad all was okay

Thats scary

[brisk hinge]

wow

arcade rafale 50gs 🤑

[uneven fog]

The music - 😃

The video - 🤬

[lavish loom]

i hate how im practically the only european in this chat

[supple rose]

Nope

Not anymore

[lavish loom]

yippie

[supple rose]

I came to rescue

[lavish loom]

but do you shoot planes

[supple rose]

Sometimes

Been trying a while to get a Eurofighter

I always miss them though 😭

[lavish loom]

damn

[supple rose]

They aren’t on radar very often so I just wait outside till I can see them

[lavish loom]

belgian air force days and sanicole air show are going to be so peak

[lavish loom]

they should have set times

[delicate silo]

We hate Europeans 🥺 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥

[delicate silo]

He shoots subs

Suns

Like a freaking nerd

[supple rose]

No

[supple rose]

True but recently there’s been a lot of change

[uneven fog]

Amen brother

[supple rose]

They are flying as low as 50m radar altitude sometimes

[lavish loom]

lucky

[supple rose]

If you live in America, congrats you are European if you’re not indigenous

[supple rose]

Yeah well comes unpredictable

[spare lantern]

I hate fences

[supple rose]

They are in a good photo position for 3secs

And I can’t see them coming

[uneven fog]

But my country is better than yours.

[supple rose]

Plusfor me it’s more radar altitude like 100-150m because I’m in a valley and I just said it for the like when you are out of the valley

[supple rose]

“Trust”

[lavish loom]

@supple rose did you go to any airshows yet

[supple rose]

Nope

No time

[lavish loom]

its a blast you need to

[supple rose]

I was at lik a military demonstration though with A400M flying, P3 C Orion or whatever and chinook, that fatass Sikorsky helicopter and ofc other tanks. I got to sit in a PZH 2000 also

[lavish loom]

very cool

i cant wait to see the rafale again

[supple rose]

That was last year though

I shot all in jpeg

😭

[lavish loom]

sad

@supple rose https://www.sanicole.com/en/ look at the performers

[supple rose]

I was actually in an H145 and the Chinook too

[lavish loom]

i was in a h145 aswell

[supple rose]

K

In flight?

[lavish loom]

sadly not

[supple rose]

My friend was in an H135 in flight

[lavish loom]

got a picture though

[supple rose]

He was like 10 I think

[supple rose]

Nice

[supple rose]

He was unconscious though

[lavish loom]

oh

not good

[supple rose]

Yeah this guy went out of the driveway on his bike didn’t look and crashed into the dad of one of my current classmates and broke his freaking skull because he didn’t wear a helmet

I even saw the helicopter but I didn’t know he was in there

Anyway he is ok again

[brittle bridge]

Oh nah

[delicate silo]

Nah twin

[supple rose]

Learn history

[delicate silo]

Nah twin

Says the guy who takes pictures of the sun

And thinks they're cool

[brisk hinge]

of course i’m your goat

without me you wouldn’t have photos to steal and share

[delicate silo]

Ong

[dark hare]

I edited the fence out for you with ms paint twin

[uneven fog]

Yes you said this, but then the CAP agreed with you

So really at what cost

[brisk hinge]

you can't argue the truth

even CAP has to accept the laws of physics

[uneven fog]

Yeah they love that Bernoulli guy

He’s the guy who enables them to plow into me in the sky

[eager geyser]

@uneven fog slow mode is lame

[uneven fog]

Amen

[eager geyser]

I also can't use emojis in that channel for whatever reason

[uneven fog]

wait that’s nuts

fuckass server

[eager geyser]

Only the server's emotes no external ones

[eager geyser]

are you in the UK? I wish I could get supersonic shots like you have

Banned in the US for them to fly supersonic in airshows

[brisk hinge]

i haven’t seen a supersonic shot from lev

what are you referring to

[eager geyser]

#985234355486085174 message

[brisk hinge]

oh

none of those are supersonic

[eager geyser]

image 4?

[brisk hinge]

vapor cone ≠ speed of sound

just means they’re going really fast in wet air

unrelated to speed of sound

[eager geyser]

o I see, I usually see it in supersonic video. I want a shot like that

[uneven fog]

slightly related to speed of sound but not that related

Can you not sort photos by album on discord anymore

When you go to upload one

this MIGHT be the worst update of all time

[brisk hinge]

expand the picker

[uneven fog]

Doesn’t show for me

[brisk hinge]

all of his shots are from US airshows, you can get them

[eager geyser]

Once you click the + to add an attachment do you see "Photos" button at the bottom?

[uneven fog]

Terrible app

[eager geyser]

Took this this weekend. Didn't feel #🚗・vehicles worthy but I think its pretty neat

[brisk hinge]

cool

[brisk hinge]

what do you mean by this

related as in they’re both caused by going fast?

[eager geyser]

I have not yet seen a full cone yet at an airshow. I usually only see it in mach loop photos in the UK actually but one day

[uneven fog]

Vape vape vape vape vape

[eager geyser]

Those are some awesome vapors

We have really humid air but maybe its too hot

[uneven fog]

The vapor shows up cause of the pressure differential which happens when you go fast

Or when you pull g

[brisk hinge]

yeah makes sense

[gentle helm]

what does one call this creation

[brisk hinge]

f-17

halfway between f-16 and f-18

[gentle helm]

ill be completely honest

i dont hate the look of it

[brisk hinge]

same 😭

[gentle helm]

it looks actually decent

call me crazy but it looks like a more sporty version of a yak131 with twin rudder and single seat

[delicate silo]

Go away

[dusk spindle]

Im european

[dusk spindle]

It’s literally directly related? You have to be transonic to have the shockwaves needed to produce a vapor cone

[sage cape]

Counter-terrorism spotting is an Olympic sport

[delicate silo]

Tuff

[uneven fog]

That was in response to him saying it wasn’t related lmao

[brisk hinge]

yeah i shouldn’t have said wasn’t related, instead it’s just not an indicator of supersonic

that’s essentially what i meant by that

[delicate silo]

🥺

[gentle helm]

I'm away

[delicate silo]

🤭

[supple rose]

Any way of saving this? Came so fast it was hard to keep it centered

[delicate silo]

Prop blur errr

[supple rose]

Shut up

[delicate silo]

Thinks sun is cool btw

[supple rose]

?

[brisk hinge]

i probably wouldn't spend much time on it honestly - besides the unlucky crop it's also pretty poor lighting

[supple rose]

You weren’t better when you photographed a prop for the first time

[supple rose]

I have nothing else lmao

[delicate silo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/670599916493733898/1490221570206203914/11928820402928499970.gif

[brisk hinge]

make it a bit wider of a crop, mask and brighten the plane, it might be ok

actually even that crop is too tall, needs a bit more taken off the bottom

[supple rose]

My first and pretty much only time being at a military like event and that just a month after getting my camera

[supple rose]

True

Tbh I could just generate more background lmao

It’s a plane anyway

Who cares there’s no objects there

[brisk hinge]

😭

[supple rose]

Idek how to lmao

I ain’t got no programs

[eager geyser]

No, not enough prop blur

At least personally I wouldn't spend time on it. I have a ton of other photos in the backlog that I would rather do

[delicate silo]

[supple rose]

My only pics lmao

[supple rose]

Lmao just shut up all you do is hate lmao no matter what you are always trying to find something to hate on no matter what I do

[eager geyser]

When I have a photo I like but its not my best work I hit auto and toss it on a spare laptop in that one day I might wanna see how I progressed or share it

[supple rose]

I mean this was my first and only airshow plus 2months after I got my cam, still not used to tracking such fast things and I had to use a fast SS

[eager geyser]

Now you know for next time

[supple rose]

Next time that will come in 5 years 😭

[eager geyser]

Planes are hard

Plain sky is boring. Clouds can ruin shots or make shots 10x better. The plane's direction and movement can make or break it. The ability to catch a hand signal inside the cockpit can change the photo dramatically. Theres a ton more factors to go into it

You're asking in a channel where people do plane photography if that photo is worth saving. No, it's not to us. If you like it keep it who cares

[lavish loom]

plain sky isnt boring

[eager geyser]

If I show u a cessna 172 on the back of a plain blue backdrop I wager u wont find it very engaging

[lavish loom]

duh

take a cool jet and it isnt

[supple rose]

I don’t get jets here

Lmao

[eager geyser]

I have shots somewhere of prop planes that look cool because of cloud formation

[supple rose]

Closest airshow is like what 200-300km away

[lavish loom]

check milavia

cause no way

also 200km is fine but thats just me

[eager geyser]

I just drove 200km this weekend to an airshow but I'm murican we drive a lot anyways

I dont like editing a lot though so I'll get to the rest of the photos besides the 1 i posted in a year or so

[supple rose]

Where’s that

[supple rose]

Yeah you drove

[lavish loom]

website

[supple rose]

176km

Tomorrow

I have school

Can’t

None in 300km range with jets apparently if I read correctly

I can go spotting at my airport though

[lavish loom]

dont trust the jet symbol

its not accurate at all

[supple rose]

Nah I checked

Those in cham barely have anything

plus it’s 130km

No one likes planes in my family so I have no chance

All I can do is go to airports normally

Not to airshows as long as no one takes me there

Last year I was lucky my friend went there and he invited me to go with him

Randomly saw this at a restaurant though (I tried myself at color grading bruh)

I know I messed up masking

[uneven fog]

yo wait do I like this guy

@delicate silo Fuck you

[uneven fog]

Nvm I don’t like this guy

[supple rose]

I’m sorry bruh

I can’t send the RAWs

Actually wait

Color grading was shit

I did that half a year ago

[delicate silo]

Says the guy who always hates

[supple rose]

What do I hate huh

It’s not like I hate on one person all the time just cuz it’s this guy

[delicate silo]

🤭

[supple rose]

Actually this is a nice shot, just a boring plane

[delicate silo]

All I said was prop blur errr and you turn it into a big thing 🫣

[supple rose]

You wouldn’t have done better in my situation trust

[delicate silo]

Like when i said moon > sun and you ranted for 30mins

[dark hare]

Idk if this is any good

[supple rose]

I actually thought about that topic. Try a moon shot at night and then you ca compare it to sun. What’s better then

[supple rose]

Too bright

[dark hare]

yeah

idk

[delicate silo]

Drop highlights

[dark hare]

just messing around on my phone lol

[delicate silo]

Yeah fixing his photo

[supple rose]

@delicate silo You can’t compare sun and daylight moon shots. So is a shot of a plane infront of the moon at night better or a shot infront of the sun

[dark hare]

ig

Idk im not great at editing

[delicate silo]

Again arguing

[supple rose]

I want your opinion

[delicate silo]

https://tenor.com/view/me-too-girl-annie-murphy-alexis-alexis-rose-schitts-creek-gif-20791647

[dark hare]

[supple rose]

Last time was bs because we compared it to daytime moon which is useless cuz the plane is fully black when it’s infront of the sun but gets lit up by the sun infront of the moon.

[eager geyser]

Good comp but u should shoot prop planes on a lower shutter speed

Oh its the same person

[supple rose]

Slower than 1/500?

[eager geyser]

Prop blur err

Yes for that plane. You have nearly no prop blur

[supple rose]

You can barely see the prop there

[eager geyser]

I see every blade

[supple rose]

Yeah?

[brittle bridge]

there is no prop blur there gang

[eager geyser]

Why do u ask for opinions then get testy when feedback is provided

[brittle bridge]

that is NOT prop blur

[supple rose]

It’s literally blurred

It’s not a circle

[brittle bridge]

Prop blur

[eager geyser]

For reference this was my first prop plane photo - and its still a little fast

[supple rose]

The whole plane is literally blurred

[eager geyser]

That plane is stunning tracking

[supple rose]

I ca see it from there

[supple rose]

Did you go in with any knowledge about plane photography?

[eager geyser]

Of course I always Google how to shoot what I wanna shoot before I do it

[brittle bridge]

I just ball and do it

not hard

[supple rose]

Well I thought fast ss was good and it was more useful for the movements I made

[eager geyser]

Peyton you've never taken a good car photo, so that makes sense.
-# I'm just joking pls don't bully me

[brittle bridge]

I’ve shot cars like twice big dawg

[supple rose]

Because that shot was 140mm

[uneven fog]

God he’s so stupid

[brittle bridge]

it is for jets, yes

1/2000+

[eager geyser]

Was kidding

[brittle bridge]

ok

oh god lev the robber is here

[uneven fog]

I give you a button that wipes one YouTuber off of the internet, who do you pick and why do you pick captain steve

[brittle bridge]

Jared polin

[eager geyser]

Jake Paul no explanation required

[uneven fog]

you guys clearly haven’t seen enough captain steve content

[eager geyser]

Nope never heard of them

I dont watch much YT in general

@brittle bridge Do you use a polarized filter

[brittle bridge]

no

[eager geyser]

I'm looking into one to see if I can get into cockpits without their antiglare making it green/yellow tinted

Not sure if it'd actually help

[supple rose]

@eager geyser @uneven fog what focal length yall use for your prop shots

[eager geyser]

Anywhere between 150mm and 600mm

[supple rose]

K

[eager geyser]

Thats true for everything I use my telephoto for. Theres no golden set distance that works for everything for what I like to shoot

[supple rose]

Fo you use a tripod or something?

[eager geyser]

No

[supple rose]

Bruh

[eager geyser]

I only use a tripod for some landscape like waterfalls or night landscape

[supple rose]

I guess I gotta train my arms

I shake so much cuz I ain’t got no muscles

As long as I point horizontally it’s all alright but once I pointed upwards it gets shaky as heck

I tried to get a helicopter with blurred rotors but it completely blurred

[eager geyser]

You have to track the subject

Pan with it

[uneven fog]

100-400 but 160-640 technically cause crop sensor

if I’m closer than sum smaller

[supple rose]

Doesn’t matter if I have shaky arms

[eager geyser]

Practice on cars going down the street

Thats what I did

[uneven fog]

Uh just don’t have shaky arms

[supple rose]

That’s a whole lot different

I have a clear path for them

[eager geyser]

My lens has stabilization in it, doesn't matter a ton

[uneven fog]

Amen my shi would look terrible without stabilization

[eager geyser]

You have 5 axis IBIS in the a7 IV

I dont have IBIS you're fine

[uneven fog]

Lens probably also has stabilizers

[eager geyser]

Usually on a long one

[eager geyser]

I don't understand why you're asking for help/advice then when provided find an excuse to not do it. U can just say u dont wanna lol

I practiced the panning motion on cars going down the main road. Do whatever u want if u wanna practice panning

It took me many attempts to even get a slow moving car clear with a blurred road

[supple rose]

What I meant is cars just move on X axis basically from my pov but the helicopter moved on x and y axis

Meaning I can’t pan I have to make constant adjustments

[eager geyser]

Its transferrable motor skills

Do whatever u wish

[supple rose]

I have literally the tiniest arms for someone my size, if I hold my telephoto for longer than a minute it gets very hard

I can’t even take pics of the moon or anything then

Even though moon doesn’t move

[eager geyser]

Moon requires a tripod. It appears to move very fast

Earth rotation + moon rotation = moon actually moves pretty fast

[supple rose]

Slower than an airplane

Way slower

No tripod needed if you can track a plane

[eager geyser]

I find tracking a plane easier than the moon personally

[supple rose]

Wth

The moon can literally be photographed without tracking at all. Just leaving it on the tripod and adjusting every 5mins. That’s enough

That’s how slow it moves

[eager geyser]

Sure on a short focal length

[supple rose]

No at 600mm

You need to frame correctly though

[eager geyser]

If you try to track the moon at 600mm over 5min it will be very blurry

[supple rose]

No? Not 5min exposure but taking pics over a span of 5 mins

[eager geyser]

Go try it and send me ur results

This required constant tracking and it was a pain in the ass because believe it or not we spin reeeeally fast as a planet

[supple rose]

Alright I already did it wait a sec

[supple rose]

Yeah blood moon needs long exposures

[eager geyser]

I forget how we are even in this conversation. Just go take more plane photos

[supple rose]

I think I rather start training my left arm first. Then I can attempt that again

[eager geyser]

Go find a big stick to carry around every day then I dont care anymore. I shoulda noticed when everyone else stopped responding

Ur camera body has fantastic IBIS and maybe your lens too. If you can't follow a plane for 1/250th of a second idk what to tell ya

[delicate silo]

corsair mentioned

[delicate silo]

twin u might bethe problem here

[delicate silo]

idiot

[delicate silo]

unless youre me i always regret going above 1/1600

[delicate silo]

https://tenor.com/view/galaxy-brain-meme-gif-25947987

[gentle helm]

huh

it doesnt look as good as it did in Lr

maybe i need to go sleep and come back to editing it tomorrow

anyway here is a land plane

no IBIS at 1/30

[brisk hinge]

why

[delicate silo]

my photos go pitch black

[gentle helm]

for jets i do something weird

i go aperture priority and put it to f8

and iso fix at 500

[delicate silo]

manual?

buh

[gentle helm]

dude it works

[delicate silo]

thats fire

[brisk hinge]

?

open your aperture

[delicate silo]

light leaves the chat

[brisk hinge]

raise your iso

[gentle helm]

nikon things

[delicate silo]

f6.3

[gentle helm]

dont question

[delicate silo]

cant lower

n im scared of manual iso

[brisk hinge]

i shoot (non-planes) at 1/4000 all the time

[brisk hinge]

auto iso and set limits

[gentle helm]

WHATR

[delicate silo]

i do

set at8k

still no light

[brisk hinge]

?

something is wrong

when you cross 1/1600 you immediately lose light?

[delicate silo]

there is light its just heavily dark

lol

shadows become a real problem

and backlit

so i just dont go above like 1/1200

[gentle helm]

in athens

[brisk hinge]

what

[gentle helm]

on my last day i was bored

so guess what i decided to do

about 3 hours before my flight i decided to do boring planespotting

[delicate silo]

my 1/30th contribution

[gentle helm]

gaa le

hold on let me pull up a 1/10

i got a few

[brisk hinge]

1/2000

iso 100 f/5.6

[delicate silo]

ww

[gentle helm]

zamn i just found this

[delicate silo]

i just dont like 1/1600

ignore the last ones editing

[brisk hinge]

1/2000, f/6.3, iso 280

[delicate silo]

too much light

[brisk hinge]

this is fine, you just need to bump your iso to raise your exposure

what iso are those

[brisk hinge]

uh

cap member btw ^

[delicate silo]

220, 110, 200

[gentle helm]

dont question the edit when i edited these i was extremely sleep deprived from the whole photoshoot + culling + flight delays

[brisk hinge]

you can go WAY higher without issues

[delicate silo]

auto iso just does that

idk

could se minimum

[gentle helm]

my plane coming from turkey decided to blow an engine during pushback so they had to replace the plane so it was delayed about 4 hours

[brisk hinge]

those photos look fine though

slightly dim but not much

[delicate silo]

I like this shot

[gentle helm]

did you by any chance watch the 8 hours of bahrin last year

or 24 daytona

[brisk hinge]

i did not

[brisk hinge]

watched a bit of ‘25, was at ‘26

[gentle helm]

i assume you've seen the middle finger

[brisk hinge]

yeah

[gentle helm]

daytona one right?

[brisk hinge]

that was connor zilisch right?

[gentle helm]

nope

it was dani juncadella to augusto farfus

so basically

it happened again in 8 hours of bahrain

and i witnessed it live in front of my eyes

[brisk hinge]

ah yeah, it was the corvette

lol

[gentle helm]

this was the same moment

i ofc didnt take a pic but i saw him flipping him off

[brisk hinge]

ah it was tommy milner at daytona

[gentle helm]

[brisk hinge]

that’s cool

[gentle helm]

[brisk hinge]

[gentle helm]

and them leaving in 2025

this was the final pic of the porches i took

[brisk hinge]

i don’t know WEC, is that Penske too?

[gentle helm]

used to be

and this was in 2024

[brisk hinge]

ew

[gentle helm]

excuse quality i just snipped from my insta

[gentle helm]

i didnt love porsche for being penske

i loved porsche for being porsche and i've been watching wec since 2015

and i witnessed the gretest endurance era of modern history

[brisk hinge]

that’s fair

[gentle helm]

so porsche is a religious thing for me

I just saw the thunderbirds this weekend and when they did that 3rd photo move they did not get that close

I was bummed

[delicate silo]

show

[eager geyser]

I have like 400 frames of the entire pass, this was the closest frame I have anyway

[brisk hinge]

rats i didn’t keep a photo of it but i saw them a few weeks ago and they were pretty tight

[brisk hinge]

were you down the shoreline from center?

showline *

[gentle helm]

yall are missing some good cars in imsa for some reason

[brisk hinge]

depending on your perspective it could look off

[eager geyser]

I was at the very start of the ramp thats where they put the photographers

a little more center frame they did it for a while

[brisk hinge]

i’m excited for toyota to bring the GR GT to imsa

[gentle helm]

slightly louder than usual*

the GR010 used to sound so fucking good

VERY LOUD I CHANGE MY MIND

[eager geyser]

These maneuvers were super clean though

[gentle helm]

top right one is amazing

[eager geyser]

Right, unfortunately heat artifcat is causing crazy sharpness problems. and the high speed pass was so smoky from the chem trails

[brisk hinge]

speaking of loud the Valkyrie sounds incredible with no muffler

[gentle helm]

no i know hold on

[brisk hinge]

i thought for WEC they ran it with a muffler

[gentle helm]

nope

they actually loudened the hypercars and muffled the LMGT3

[brisk hinge]

i thought for WEC they ran it with a muffler

interesting

why did that send twice

thanks discord

[gentle helm]

it does that

XD

BRO

i remember

everytime the aston GT3 would shift to 5th gear

it would make this UNHOLY bang

and it was absolutely deafening

[brisk hinge]

lol

[gentle helm]

my 2am flight being delayed to 4:30am meant that

i woke up to this

probably the most beautiful wake up i had ever

[viral pike]

guys, should i buy tamron 70-300 ?

[exotic rain]

Which one

[viral pike]

the cheap one

[exotic rain]

Show

[viral pike]

this one

[exotic rain]

I've heard that ones fine

Doesn't Sony have a better lens for aviation tho

[viral pike]

i am looking for a cheap one

sony lens is expensive as hell

[exotic rain]

It's probably gonna be more then fine tbh

Itll struggle in low light but in regular daytime its fine

[viral pike]

i usually use the canon 70-200 f2.8 but i am currently transitioning to sony

[exotic rain]

Top 10 biggest mistakes

Why not stay on can9n

[viral pike]

i think my camera is outdated

[exotic rain]

What camera is it

[viral pike]

60d

[exotic rain]

Why didn't you just buy a new canon camera

[viral pike]

btw here's some sample

[exotic rain]

You already had the 70-200 2.8 like lmao

Even the first gen is fine

[viral pike]

the af is so slow bro

[exotic rain]

That's the camera

[brisk hinge]

buys sony camera
can’t afford lenses

tale as old as time

[viral pike]

hahahahahha that is so real

[exotic rain]

Even the first gen 70-200 2.8 has good af

[viral pike]

mine is slow, so i think i need to replace it

[exotic rain]

I promise majority of that is the camera body

I've used that exact lens once on my R50 and it's more then fast

[viral pike]

no i, have tried renting the canon r5 and use my lens with it

and it always searches for focus

[exotic rain]

Yeah you prolly didn't have it setup right

[viral pike]

hmm tbh i dont wanna sell my lens but i dont know how to fix it

[exotic rain]

I just feel like the zve-10 was a horrid investment over just keeping with canon

You could've just upgraded the body a few gens and been done with it

i was arguing with llama about this earlier

he claims that as soon as he goes past 1/1600 it gets too dark

[brittle bridge]

[brisk hinge]

[brittle bridge]

what is light

[brisk hinge]

IT DOESS

[brisk hinge]

go take a photo at 1/1600 and 1/2000, balancing iso, and show me

[delicate silo]

ur opinion isn't gonna fix my photo twin 🥺

iso maybe but I'm lazy

[brisk hinge]

“i’m too lazy to get the proper exposure”

what are we doing here

[delicate silo]

1\1200 my goat

[delicate silo]

by 1\1600 its all ready too late

[brisk hinge]

i genuinely want to see 1/800 and 1/2000, balanced with iso

[delicate silo]

2000 unrecoverable mistake for planes

[brisk hinge]

show me

??

i just

that’s not true one bit

[delicate silo]

I shot like 4000 f1 and it was fine

f1 as in cars

[brisk hinge]

this was 1/2500 iso 400 f/7.1

“too late”???

“unrecoverable mistake”???

this was on d7200 too so crop sensor, meaning effectively a stop worse performance

legitimately what is your problem

[delicate silo]

skill. Idk

[brisk hinge]

genuinely show me an image at 1/2000 that’s an “unrecoverable mistake”

[delicate silo]

I think I shot 2000 at Nellis actually

haven't gone through those shots

[delicate silo]

Idk where I've shot 2000

maybe the f5 I saw

[brisk hinge]

tomorrow shoot some test shots of the sky

[delicate silo]

Thats alot of work

[brisk hinge]

it’ll help you get better

[brittle bridge]

this guy is getting dumber and dumber i swear

[delicate silo]

Yeh

Not soon tho

[supple rose]

My Lena didn’t lol but my new lens has

Can’t wait to have some free time

Imma go to the airport and get some nice panning shots

Unfortunately all imma have are Eurofighters

[uneven fog]

Soon is a stretch

2028 maybe 29 I bet

also tom cruise is 62

dudes gonna be yanking 7.5 in the back of a rhino at 65 😭

[eager geyser]

Scientology bro, Tom Cruise is not actually aging. They have 30 clones of him

[supple rose]

I finally googled my lens OSS though and I figured out the best panning settings. I might actually try some handheld car panning shots too like you told me to.

And then imma attempt props when I see them next

[brisk hinge]

L

this is not good actually

[supple rose]

Top gun is shit

Unrealistic as heck

“Oh he does a cobra so we can’t shoot” type shit

[eager geyser]

but its fun

[brisk hinge]

the original was fun

the new one is lame

[uneven fog]

holy what a god awful take

[brisk hinge]

[supple rose]

Yeah the helicopters find him and he still dodges every bullet, trust that’s realistic

[delicate silo]

Just get out of our chat bro

[delicate silo]

"Oh no Hollywood is unrealistic"!!! Thanks for telling us baraco

[supple rose]

I mean there are good movies

hacksaw ridge

1917

Saving private ryan

A lot of them ww2 and ww1 movies are good

Dunkirk

Oppenheimer (Ok we can argue wether this IS actively war)

All quiet on the western front as well is absolutely 🔥

Dunkirk was weird yeah

[eager geyser]

I laid down across 3 theater chairs and fell asleep to Dunkirk

[supple rose]

The constant switch

[supple rose]

Yeah it’s so chaotic

And gets super boring at times

[brisk hinge]

i loved it

but i love Nolan films

[supple rose]

Frfr

[brisk hinge]

they're not for everyone but the people they are for love them

[supple rose]

I think Nolan used like same whatever to call this cutting technique like that the movie is split up in three pieces on both Dunkirk and Oppenheimer

But Oppenheimer was more amazing in my eyes

And the final scene was also goat

[uneven fog]

Llama is an alright guy

Would be a cool guy but the whole CAP thing kinda throws it off

[brisk hinge]

Lev would have it going for him if he weren't a canon user who steals other people's photos to cope with having bad gear

[eager geyser]

Lev r u a copyright bandit

[uneven fog]

But I’m a pilot

So I think it balances out no?

[brisk hinge]

no

[uneven fog]

Yeah my mom not ready for it 😭

[brittle bridge]

i randomly told her one day that i need to get a car before i go out of state and she said "where are you going?" I told her down to arizona for flight school and within 5 minutes of me saying that, she signs me up for a college visit at UNO

💔

my aunt lives down there and she said I could live with her, shes around 20 mins from the scottsdale airport

[uneven fog]

und application became like 5 times harder for your class

When I did it last year it was literally like all of the basic personal information shi, GPA, class rank, SAT which was optional, and like you jus had to check a box that said you completed x amount of classes in whatever subject

Then you just had to send ur transcript

I applied within the first 15 mins, transcript was sent the same day, heard back in 3 days

and for us you only needed a 3.25 and you were automatically in if you did it quick enough

From what I understand it’s not like that anymore

lowk no idea if it’s the same application for the Scottsdale part but I have to assume it is

[brittle bridge]

und?

i thought about going to asu

either doing a degree in aviation through them or something else and flight school in scottsdale

Just enlist at the airforce at that point

Fly cooler things than cessnas

If ur lucky anyways

[delicate silo]

enlist?

[delicate silo]

yessir

[eager geyser]

Voluntarily sign up for the military

[rocky coyote]

Haha I have under 6 months

[rocky coyote]

Enlist means you sign up for a non officer role, pilots are officers who have a commission from the reigning monarch (or however the US does it)

[delicate silo]

Idk why you'd enlist unless officer Is completely off the table

[rocky coyote]

Because some enlisted jobs appeal more

I wanted to be a military photographer or a tradie and they’re both enlisted jobs

[delicate silo]

PAO

unfamiliar with tradie

[uneven fog]

You’re NOT getting tickets to that show

[uneven fog]

Can’t fly as an enlisted

[rocky coyote]

A tradie is a tradesperson like a mechanic or an electrician

I wanna get these so bad

Today I saw a tornado for the third time ever

That thing was hello low

[lavish loom]

its so damn loud when one flies over you

they get really close since you can stand like 10m away from the airfield

504 pictures today

time to sort through all of them

[supple rose]

Ever got an A340, 20m above your head?

[lavish loom]

not yet

[lavish loom]

but apparently its quieter

which makes sense because awacs are based on boeing 707s which have really old and noisy engines

[supple rose]

Yeah idk but this is quite cool if you stand there

I think it’s like 20m

Maybe 40m

Also I gotta go to Ansbach ngl

Apaches and Chinooks

[lavish loom]

they flew past me once

pretty cool

but far away

[supple rose]

I was in one

Chinook

Huh?

We pay ppl to read for us

[brisk hinge]

bait

[brisk hinge]

that requires you to have money

[eager geyser]

Ur right all the money is lost to the camera gear

[eager geyser]

Many high school drop out farmers also have the same license u do, btw

I didn't know I might like tractors almost as much as planes until I have seen vehicles lately

[brisk hinge]

all that just to have worse gear than us 💔

[eager geyser]

I don't really agree with that. Objectively what I see everything is rather similar with modern bodies and glass. No real major "advantage" over any other flagship brand

Looking online rn and it appears at first glance RF glass does edge out Z glass across the board. Albeit its pretty similar

I'm not really a die-hard fan of any of them. I just got what was originally recommended to me and now I'm in the Canon ecosystem

[brisk hinge]

i’m mostly joking, but nikon does have better value tele options

[eager geyser]

This is true, especially with their more openness to third party vendors

[brisk hinge]

yeah

[eager geyser]

If I did switch brands I'd go right now Nikon Z6 III

[brisk hinge]

i love mine

[eager geyser]

Reality is tho (for me anyways) to swap ecosystems is more expensive than just better glass

[brisk hinge]

yeah

once you’re in, you’re in
