Depends on the angle and everything. If I’m in a spot where I’m panning I’m going to want a slower speed to get some foreground blur. If they’re more coming at me it’s a quicker speed to make sure I get the shot Both use around f/8 or so, to make sure the whole sled is in focus.

You are the head coach of the reigning and defending ACC champion Duke Blue Devils football team. This is who you’re paired with today.

Didn’t think I felt great and it kind of shows? Little warm and humid but more shade now. Either way, average HR for this run is usually like 155. Got up to 180 today But the pace felt good and I didn’t hurt myself so that’s nice. About 6 weeks to Charlotte.

I’m down for working most anywhere. The issue is that with most everything going to streaming what was an 8 hour day has turned into a 12+ hour day for the same pay, which just isn’t gonna work for me. But if the right opportunity came along I’d absolutely be down. I miss it.
