Uncle Pete, You are not confused, at focus 200 you have aperture 6.3 or 1.8 ?  ???

377
Uncle Pete, only dinosaurs walk around with such heavy lenses.  ;D ;D ;D
Smart people buy micro 4/3 optics and put all the telephoto lenses in their pockets.  8)
Stabilization in Panasonic cameras allows you to shoot with any lens without a tripod.  ;D

Lol, no - the sony rx5 is not necessarily "better" than the p900. The are a different class of camera. It's like saying apples are better than shoes. Makes no sense - they are different. Both are good.

The RX5 is good for night shots, slow motion (1000 fps), and has a 1" sensor. Unfortunately, the zoom is very poor.
The P900 is very good for 'general' zoom shots. It's not great on quality though.

And lol - yes, I have both - so I know what I am talking about :)

With the $15k camera - I don't recall. I was just going through some brush (I think I was doing some bird shots) and ran into him - and was like 'what what kind of camera is that?' (Because he had the super supppppppppppppppppper long lens). I think it was a DSLR with a 1200 mm lens, but don't recall. But it was huge/massive. Kind of like the picture pete posted, except I think it was white. Don't recall which brand, just that it was a big massive setup.
Sony's quality is definitely better than Nikon's. It's strange that you don't see it when you have two cameras. Although why would you need two cameras of roughly the same style?
As for 1000 fps, the quality will be poor.

If we talk about the quality of a telephoto lens, then a Panasonic 100-400 (Micro 4/3) plus a teleconverter will be a normal option with a focus of 1200-1600 and a cost of $1000.

The sloMo would be nice, but way beyond any money I have. Here's something entertaining:  Canon FL 1200mm f/11 Super Telephoto FL/FD Mount. Probably can be found for $1,000 to $1,500. Would have been cheaper a couple years ago, but the mirrorless cameras and use the FD lenses. Mostly manual, but the exposure can work.

hehe, that looks like a 'fun' camera to lug around :P

I personally like the bridged lens in the P900. (Tried out the P1000, didn't like it - while it advertises 120x "zoom", it's not really - or at least doesn't seem to be. It seems to simply do digital enhancement which I can do post processing). The p900 & p1000 - while 'cool' - really lose quality/detail when you say go beyond 20-30x zoom. It has a teensy tiny 1/2.3 inch sensor. It would be cool to get a full frame camera that could do that in a compact bridged camera format :P

I did see a guy one time though I think his set up was about $15k for a camera. Apparently not a professional - just a hobbyist that happened to have lots of money and liked bird watching... :P

Sony RX10 IV is better than your P900.

What kind of camera did the guy have for 15 thousand?

380
I think the one I want is actually more like $150-$200k USD.
What is the video resolution and fps there?  :)

For stock agencies, it's better to buy a camera like this for 100 thousand. 1000 fps in 4K, this is a good option.

or buy T4040, get 10.000 fps for full HD, which is also not bad.

 ;D ;D ;D

This is a nice camera for slow motion, something like 1 million+ frames a second a bit out of my budget at the moment:

Stock agencies do not accept videos with such low resolution.

"Caption mission."

Adobe doesn't offer me that. :(
I can only take pictures of people and animals.

I uploaded some videos to this site but my video was never verified. So I don't follow this stock anymore.

In what plots will you need it?

It looks like you don't listen and even cant read plain English.
I am out of this monologue.
A typical answer from a Russian orc and Russian terrorist when asked whose Crimea is.

386
It looks like you no nothing about autocratic regimes and about the life of generic people who have no rights at all. Your conclusions are very simplified and grounded.

In the second paragraph, I talked about seizing the assets of putin's associates who successfully keep billions in American and European banks. This is not happening in sufficient volume.

America and Europe fed this insane cannibal themselves, and these are the consequences now.
and the oil continues to be bought from him. Think this through.

1. Whose is Crimea?
2. There are never too many sanctions against Russians. Of course, russia and Russians should be banned 100% on all world markets. This is what I am writing about.
3. As for the miserable and wretched Russians, the population of russia is 140 million people. If even 10% of the population were against Naz.ism (and that's 14 million people), no totalitarian regime would be able to withstand protests that would overthrow the entire Russian government. But we don't see any protests from Russians, except for isolated protests (1-2 people).

Just got this:
Earlier this week you may have received an email from Shutterstock informing you that your unclaimed earnings need to be collected, otherwise they are at risk of being transferred to the state of Delaware. Please disregard that email, you should not have received that communication.

We are aware that as an artist who resides in Russia or Belarus, your options for receiving payments are extremely limited at this time. Your earnings can continue to accrue with Shutterstock until viable options for receiving payment from Shutterstock become available in your country.

We apologize for any confusion our original communication may have caused and appreciate your understanding

All Russian and Belarusian authors should be banned from Shutterstock and their works removed. It is very strange that Shutterstock has a policy of supporting Russians.

What's wrong with Russian and Belarus photographers? They just try to make a living out of photography. Why rob them from their income?
They are not the politicians and rulers who want war.
Russians and Belarusians are citizens of terrorist and Na.zi countries. They receive dollars (currency) which they spend in their countries to pay taxes (= support the military industry) and improve the economy (= weakening the sanctions imposed by the US and EU). Russians also support terrorism, genocide and murder.

388
Yeah, stoker2014 has quite ignorant and primitive point of view.
When you are living under a totalitarian regime, you don't have any voice to express your opinion on situation.

Instead of pressing plain people arrest autocratic realty and their offshore assests, that will be way more effective. Strange thing that it is not happening on a proper scale.
Your second paragraph is not consistent, it is not clear what you wrote.

People always have a choice, but Russians have made their choice, support for putin's policies in russia is about 90%.

With video it seems fairly consistent at around 3 weeks.
A few weeks ago, the video was under review for no more than 3 days.

What's the story? This forum has become a place for political propaganda?  :o :o :o
Is there an administrator somewhere?
1. Where did you see propaganda?
2. Why did you decide that economic and political topics cannot be discussed on this forum.
3. What country are you from?

of course such discussion is possible - but it should be in 'off topic', not spamming legitimate photo threads. and why should country matter?

many of us have strong opinions but manage to leave them out of on-topic forum discussions except when they directly address the topic  (eg ai, commissions, etc).
I didn't spam, I was answering questions from another member of this thread who asked these questions.

393
Humans are the same in ALL the countries they inhabit!
but differents by the soul that inhabits them.
No, people are not the same. Russians are rabid dogs that must be liquidated.
And this is not propaganda, this is the truth.

b) Re: russians "in general". That is not really fair, and I don't think you would want someone to say 'oh ukrainians should be punched in the face', would you? I'd say perhaps the politicians issuing orders while being corrupt, the ones knowingly attacking knowing its wrong, etc, and the people who actually are organizing this "war" - perhaps "they" could/would 'deserve' that. But to make a blanket statement about one race in general - no, that's not right.

With respect to Crimea... it actually sounds very similar to the "fight" between China & Taiwan. China figures Taiwan is "part" of China, Taiwan says no we are an indepedent state - more specifically the politicians and their handlers spewing rhetoric.  It really doesn't matter - both land masses are composed of people.

But what DOES matter is the small group of pyschopaths trying to promote infighting - because then it makes it a heck of a lot easier to steal things from them. It's a bunch of pyschopaths versus the rest of the world - not ukranians vs russians, chinese vs taiwanese, etc, etc...

You can only say bad things about Russians. You can never say anything good about Russians. They do not do and have never done anything good.
You don't know Russians well. They are a nation that wants murders and wars.
You can't say that putin is the only one to blame, putin is just a reflection of the desires of the entire Russian nation.
Yes, there are exceptions, of course, 5 percent of Russians could theoretically be different, but first they have to answer the question whose Crimea is.

China is an illegitimate state. Initially, Taiwan was in the UN, which is a legitimate and democratic representative of China. But US politicians kicked Taiwan out of the UN and let in communists from China, who seized power in the country through murders.
You can't compare Taiwan and Crimea. Taiwan is a separate state, and Crimea is a legitimate and internationally recognized territory of Ukraine. Crimea is as much a part of Ukraine as the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions occupied by the Russians.
You might as well compare Alaska with Taiwan. The Russians have plans to occupy Alaska too.

In the previous topic I wrote a lot about who the Russians are, where they came from. I said that they appeared very recently, are savages and cannibals, and have no history of their own. And the history that they tell about themselves is the history of Ukraine and Ukrainians, which the Russians stole by mass murdering Ukrainians. That's who the Russians are. They are not even Europeans by blood, they are Asians.

Ukraine is not fighting putin and Russian politicians. Ukraine is fighting the Russian people who are coming to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians and take their lands.

396
So you would think it was 'raining money' in Ukraine, and US dollars are falling out of the sky because of all the "money" that is going there, bags & bags of 'money'...
This money does not go to Ukraine. In fact, the US spends this money inside the US to produce some weapons. But these weapons are not supplied to Ukraine either; at best, old similar weapons from US warehouses are supplied. Thus, the statement that the money is for Ukraine implies that the money will be poured into the US or Canadian economy. But, in fact, the US and Canada supply very few weapons. And they do not supply the weapons that are needed.
Yes, perhaps there are some small monetary programs through which money comes to support the Ukrainian budget or social payments, but this is small money, a small part of the billions that the Democrats spend (or steal) on God knows what.

As for the Russians, they need to be deported from all civilized countries. Most of these Russians support putin, the Russian empire, the occupation and terrorism.

A good Russian = a liquidated Russian.

You can personally test any Russian with one question. Ask him whose Crimea is? Most Russians will answer that Crimea is Russian, Crimea is russia, and that Crimea belongs to the Russian empire. After such an answer, you should immediately punch him in the face.  ;D

397
DiscreetDuck, If you are a vegetarian and an animal rights activist and do not eat any meat, then just write about it.

398
Probably few people know, but with the money that comes to Ukraine from the EU and the USA, Ukraine cannot buy weapons for itself, the Democrats forbid it.
Ukraine can only hope for weapons supplies, but the Democrats do not give weapons or give very little, as a result there is a catastrophic shortage of weapons. As a result, Ukrainians die en masse, Russian orcs constantly occupy new territories, cities are completely destroyed.

399
....
but billions that don't actually see the light of day except for a small group of pyschopaths in ukraine).
I will correct your post a little. In fact, the money does not reach Ukraine, it is stolen by the Democrats while still in the US.

Yeah I'm sure Trump's policy of 'America First' is really going to see weapons and funding skyrocket if he gets elected!
