Any suggestions for how to get good sports photos?
  • If your camera supports it you can try registering faces to prioritize the auto focus for a few of the standout players.

    If your camera doesn’t have any ibis and you’re shooting with a crop at 200mm I think maybe you’re right that 1600 isn’t quite fast enough. You could go higher or maybe try out a monopod to help stabilize.

    There should be a tracking AF option where you can select a focus point and then let the camera track the point but your camera may not have that option either.

    If no tracking AF try using a larger point. My camera calls it zone AF where it focuses on one of the 9 boxes made by the lines of thirds.

    It could also be a “get good” situation where you just have to anticipate a little of what might happen and try to be ready for shots a few seconds ahead of time. Practice makes perfect after all.

    I hope that maybe this helps!

  • Apple Vision Pro Not The ‘New Frontier For Masturbatory Technology’ After All
  • Im so confused why this wouldn’t work and I didn’t see anywhere in the article the actual reason. Can anyone explain it better? Can you not just play a vr video file? Is it blocking the sites? I’m just confused.

  • Rabbit's R1 pocket AI assistant shows us what a post-smartphone future will look like, when we can forget about apps and let AI be our only interface.
  • I’m kinda torn on this thing. I watched the LTT Wanshow segment about it and it seems cool. But also seems very gimmicky or like the entire thing could have been just an app. It will definitely be interesting to see how this technology grows and changes in the coming years if it really takes off. I know they sold out a bunch of their preorders so that might mean good things to come.

  • Depending how much you want to play around with it, you may be able to configure something with Shortcuts to get the desired behavior. I have something similar set up for screen brightness and media volume based on what WiFi networks I’m connected to or places I’m at.

  • It took decades, but San Francisco finally installs nets to stop suicides off Golden Gate Bridge
  • What sort of argument is this? Obviously if the net catches a fucking person then yeah good job nets. But the root of the problem isn’t people falling off the bridge on accident. It’s people with unaddressed mental health issues wanting to kill themselves. How about we address the mental health aspects instead of just making them jump off a different bridge or shoot themselves or any other of a million different ways to kill yourself. If I really wanna die a net on that specific bridge won’t stop me I’ll just find another way.

  • It took decades, but San Francisco finally installs nets to stop suicides off Golden Gate Bridge
  • What idiots are downvoting this? The problem isn’t that the bridge is too high. It’s that the people who have suicided there in the past had no access to mental health care. You downvoters are not looking at the root of the problem. You really think all the suicidal people are just gonna magically cure themselves because they installed nets?

    The money spent on not only the nets and installing them etc but also the lawmakers that wasted their time coming up with this idea and meeting about it etc etc is ALL a waste of public funds and could have been put to much better use towards the actual problem.

    This is just Americans patting themselves on the back pretending they’re doing a good job 👏🏼

  • Charlotte cop is suspended for striking woman 17 times during marijuana arrest — that's 14 times too many, says chief
  • This highlights the problem of Thc-a and the inability of the police to judge whether or not it is actual cannabis or not. It could have even been a cbd blunt they were smoking! The police would never know. They even were honest and said what it actually was and where they got it.

    Regardless of that, who gives a fuck if they’re smoking outside waiting on the bus??? Just because the officers were driving by and smelled smoke… fucking power tripping pigs need to go fuck each other in the mud.

    Just let people consume a natural herb if they want why do they care SO much.

  • What tips do you have to write poetry to friends?
  • Just off the top of my head but I think you’re on the right path when it comes to sounding more eloquent. Poetry probably came from people messing around and playing with words to find what sounds interesting.

    You’re already good to go on rhyming. So maybe just try for different rhyme schemes.

    You might could also add other whatever-they’re -calleds like alliteration, consonance, metaphors, etc. Each of those are just a tools in the poet’s toolbox.

    But what do I know!

  • Pixel 8 Pro: Video Boost And More
  • I really wish he would do a video about his personal photography. I always love it when he would get air time on LTT or one of their other channels talking about cameras and was always curious to see his photos.

  • What is your unpopular flim opinion
  • Films where I don’t recognize a single actor among the whole crew are almost always better than ones where I’ve seen such and such actor in other movies. Just more immersive. And even if they’re not the best actors I’d much prefer that over whatever the hell Chris Prat or Tom Cruise or Leo D are up to.

  • What is your unpopular flim opinion
  • I think you’re right and maybe that’s why I prefer horror movies so much over literally all else. And to your point about being outside of Hollywood, I really appreciate it when I don’t recognize any of the actors. It makes it much more immersive for me. Usually much better camera work and lighting too. And Less CGI - atleast the better ones. I hate it when the whole screen is just really good animation :(

  • Utilities have been lying to us about gas stoves since the 1970s
  • Haha! I go in about three houses per day for work and the majority will have gas. Also SE US. Although I’ve never had one in the places I’ve lived so if not for work I’d never have seen them either.

  • Utilities have been lying to us about gas stoves since the 1970s
  • Technology connections informed me of this long ago! And it makes perfect sense. But almost every house I go in has a gas stove because apparently people think it’s better or nicer or “more professional” or whatever.
