Classic is the desktop program now, sometimes referred to as LrC. Lightroom (without qualification) on more recent documentation is the cloud based version, some people call it Cloudy, which of ...

Don't use an eraser (which is what is often suggested; dust and residue). Clean with a lint free cloth. Maybe a drop of Deoxit Gold on the cloth at the end as a thin coating (not enough to travel ...

You know, when Canon first did that, I thought "that's a LOT of money to avoid manually switching in a teleconverter. The more baseball I shoot, periodically changing out a teleconverter while ...

Q: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall ?" A: "Practice, practice, practice". Good equipment helps of course, but skill rules.

If you do that, take a monopod as well.  A 300 is easily used without one handheld, however it can be pretty tiring if you want to keep it up and ready for any period of time. And at shorter ...

Thanks for the details, that helps to be more specific. For backstroke getting the start is best with a long lens from the far end, IMO, like this: To me this emphasizes the athleticism of the ...

I don't speak Canon so will have to be vague on modes. Access is important; a lot depends on where you will be allowed to go what kind of angles you can get.  This is also important for lighting; I ...

That looked nice. Short version:  Fast glass, long glass, up close to the net.  Not a lot else, the further back, the more stopped down, the wider angle, the more the net shows.

It takes a while, but once you get used to the lack of noise, one day a fellow photographer will stand beside you with a DSLR clacking away and you'll find yourself saying "shhhhhh". Turning on the ...

If you have a 400 or better lens, and light appropriate, also see if there's a stand or get a ladder and shoot over the center field fence (a bit toward left field) to get face-on batting shots. It ...

Can't try as mine is gone.  If you don't get a good answer here, try the LightroomQueen site forum, lots of expertise there.

Does the A7R4 appear in the LR import dialog and show no photos eligible?  Make sure subfolder is checked, and that they aren't somehow thought to be duplicated. Check the various USB settings in ...

I don't sell online, but a couple thoughts: You might try the Pro Digital Talk forum if you do not get on point answers here; mostly this is about beginning photography more than beginning PRO ...

I've done that for softball, the fences are too high for baseball at least where I shoot. For baseball sometimes there will be a camera stand for shooting over the fence used by the team to set up ...

I have no illusions about being good at baseball, but will offer some suggestions. First, move around.  It's a long game, take advantage of it.  Unless you are looking for a specific event (i.e. a ...

Well, I'm not allowed to tell you what it says in the secret rule book.... :-) I see different people with different ideas in that regard. Personally I think it varies a lot by sport. In Soccer for ...

Better. Though consider this crop (hopefully you do not mind, some people hate others editing their shots, let me know if so I'll remove). A lot depends on what it is for, but if you are just going ...

<start of rant> This is something that has annoyed me for years, and I blame some of the sports web sites colleges use -- their templates call not only for landscape, but a very thin, wide ...

Nicely done.  I recently did it as well, and just spent eight nights from home (Bortle 6-7) building up enough data.  It's a tough target.

Just in the FWIW department, if you go the route of litigation (even threatening), make sure you are on firm ground as a professional -- business licenses or anything else required in your venue.  ...
