Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

At my lil hommies 4th bday party I got his sister in some shots hugging and playing with the lens cap saying Cannon. Maybe I can work a free camera or 2 out of them.

Not that I won't want one when it comes out. The price I got though was just tooooooooo good.

If I ever start shooting weddings again it would make for a good reason to get a second camera right?

You'd want the second camera to be the same as the first.

I would rather have the speed of the 70D and the video skillz of the t4i.

When a camera unexpectedly breaks, and you only have seconds before you miss an important shot, you don't want to be fucking around with different controls on the other camera.

If it's personal stuff than it doesn't really matter, but for weddings missing shit doesn't fly.

Had a good ride today. Rode with my buddy in the morning, and my son in the afternoon.

I attract accidents lime that all the time.

 

Reminds me of when I fell on the road to work. Went back home to change my clothes, got the the office and then the pain hit.

You know stupidity has reached a new level when somebody argues that an MAF sensor does not meter air flow.

Oooh. I getcha. They are close enough for weddings. Most of the wedding guys carry one portrait and one other lens anyway. Harder to change a lens than a function.

And what's more all those pro photographers think they are hot shit with their manual focus skills. At this point unless you need extreme precision and perfect poster size shots, AF in most cameras for most medium action shots is better than a human can do.

I got talked down to by some fucker once. Yet he took 500 more shots and still had more completely out of focus. I had 50 shots of the kiss to pick the best one. He had 30-40 because.

My new lens is a focus by wire system. It isn't as fast manually, but I can set it to AF, then micro adjust on the fly. Really cool hybrid system. It answers 99.9999% of shooting needs. Only things this system won't do is the ultra portrait or landscape that full frame and lens rigs will do, or the speed that the 70D has.

Super cool set up.

Yeah. Missing a big moment is brutal. Last time the portrait dude was such a fuckstick. He did get all the bride shots with big lights and super rigs. But he missed every important family moment. And he had an assistant and 4 cameras. He was in a nice suit and I was fucked drenched in sweat, but I worked and got shots he didn't with 1/10 the equipment and all on AF.. for the most part.

Working in the coal mines, I caught/hit my back on a roof bolt plate that was bent down. Hurt like hell at time but no big deal. Put electrical tape on the cut and finish your shift where I come from. That being said, I drove home that morning just to not be able to get out of my car. I LITERALLY had to crawl in my house and have my parents come over and carry me to the car to go to ER as I could not move any at all without nauseating pain.  I had ripped a back muscle. Still hurts from time to time....

Battling my BBQ nemesis. The brisket.

I'm going to try a foil wrap at the stall. I always get the meat too done. Also trying fat down and an oil the rub with a mop for the first part.

Any other tips?

. It doesn't, it meters the mass.
