surfoxy

I use the one where the camera moves freely along the strap so I can pull it up to my eye without shifting the strap. But not all that often. Mostly when I want the extra security from thieves, or ...

Probably not that helpful, but can confirm the weight difference on the GM II vs the Sigma is significant. It makes a difference. Great lens.

Really nice shot. Warm and lovely. A beautiful girl and a guitar, what more do you need!

Good feedback, thanks both of you. Trip actually kind of sucked. Unbearably hot and humid, got sick twice, my wife got sick, my oldest too...ugh. Water was kind of gross with some torrential rains ...

First evening of our trip to Mexico this week

Love. People post images in the Fuji forum all the time. It’s great. The weirdest thing about that post was the explanation. “This forum is mostly birders” or something to that effect. What?? 😂😂

Yeah the shutter speed for sure. Agree on less interest behind the board. Not sure I’d crop any of these tighter, but I appreciate the feedback! Great link.

I'm headed for a week in Sayulita with my family. Couple of teenage girls, my wife (broken foot) and myself. I think what I care about is shooting the place to get a sense of it, more ...

This, plus I've read folks use a candle to keep the lens clear. Rub wax on the port and spread it around with a micro-fiber cloth. No real world experience with that myself, but have seen it ...

What do you think about this crop? Personally I like it. The rope is interesting, I liked it as a compositional element, pointing to the same place as the arrow and leading the eye to the faces, ...

Not that I noticed. I was thinking more eliminate the dead space at top right and focus more in on the faces, but I'm over-critiquing this. Great shot!

I mean...I really like it. I would crop even a good bit tighter. Do you like it?

These are awesome, so crispy. Your technique must be fantastic.

Pretty subtle, but OK. Very different than the criticism to which I was responding. Thx.

I really don't follow what birders has to do with it. Clearly something I'm missing. It's OK, I've said my piece.

Nice! Love the way the black track creates the strong contrast with the skin, and works with the black uniforms. Super sharp!

Great facial expression! Zooming in wishing there was a bit less noise. Great capture though!

Seems a fair number of people have liked the image. I think the image stands up OK. The higher ISO doesn't lessen the impact in any way, IMO. Sure, technically what you suggest will result in a ...

Wonderful image! Great story, emotion, faces. There's something about the aspect ratio here that's bugging me. I wonder if a 4:3 crop eliminating the target and really highlighting the wonderful ...

Fun! Nice moments with the crashing. Get tighter on the faces and the subject, don't think the crowd in the background is doing much for you, enough of it will be there if you tighten up on the ...
