A while ago I was looking into how I could use my laptop to mirror the screen if my desktop so I can edit videos while outside in nature, and well I found one of Google vest features. It's called chrome remote desktop access, and you can pretty much use your pc from anywhere as long as the pc is on. Idk how this isn't more popular, so ims spreading the word here
I'm planning to do a car shoot in a bit, and i'm looking for if anyone has spots to recommend..
I've got a few already like the top of the arboretum, The boat house, a few other boat ramps around canberra, and the burnt out observatory + view at mount stromlo... If anyone's got other spots feel free to share them to everyone :)
Oh and a similar question a few years back suggested some city alleyways, yarralumla boat ramp and parliment house...
Im currently in a weird situation, with too many ultrawides and (surprisingly) too many lenses. I'm looking to have an ultrawide, a general purpose to slight tele zoom, as well as a fast prime or two. What im considering getting:
Canon ef 16-35 f4/f2.8ii - 600
Canon ef 24-105 f4 - 400
Canon ef 50 f1.8 stm. -100
What i currently have
Canon r5,
canon ef 50 f1.8 stm,
canon 70-200 f4 non is
tamron 15-30 g2,
canon rf 16 f2.8.
Now, this is where the dilemma begins, since i feel like for my event (mostly indoor) photography/videography the tamron 15-30's af doesnt hold up to the job. I definitely don't need 2 ultrawides as well, and it might be nice to upgrade the 50 to an rf version. Recently, i had a canon R8, and hated the autofocus of the 70-200 on it, and i didn't understand what the hype of l series lenses was. Now that I have the R5, It's an entirely different experience, and it feels a lot better. That said, im not utilizing it as much as I hoped, so I was thinking of downgrading to a general purpose zoom, like the 24-105 f4. I would prefer a slightly more tele based focal length, like the tamron 35-150 which is just perfect, but having read dustin abotts review, and based on my experience with the 15-30 g2, I don't want to risk having bad autofocus. In addition, it's nearly twice the price of the canon, so maybe i'll give it a pass. I did try the canon 10-18 stm, and I loved the autofocus of that, so maybe I can get an ef 24-105 stm? or possibly an rf stm? As for the ultra wide, The rf is pretty good, but the issue is it would have a good gap to the 24-105/35-150. It is quite a bit cheaper than the ef lenses as well, and i certainly don't want a repeat of the autofocus I had to experience with my canon R8. there is also the new rf 15-30 stm, but the slower aperture isn't very appealing. As for the 50mm prime, I do have scenarios where i need more light, or just want more background blur if the background cant be saved/changed. What would you guys do in this scenario? I'm definitely leaning to l lenses if their af will work properly like the 70-200 is thankfully working now.
