They have to prove that you did use their stuff, not the other way around.
But a lot of contracts (not just photography ones) will have a clause about not working second jobs without permission.
My gut feeling here is that artistic photography - landscapes etc would be fine but more mundane stuff like portrait photography and certainly anything that overlaps with what you do at work would be questionable.
But obviously look at your contract.
I think my nikkor 105mm f/1.4.
Yes, it the focal length has some limitations but I make it work.
I shoot outdoor sports but in terms of manual settings my process is:
Set shutter speed to something that will freeze fastest action (for me 1/1000), set aperture to something that will have a decent DOF and image quality (f/8), then set iso to auto.
If the light gets bad I’ll reduce the aperture first and then the shutter speed but I leave the iso on auto because if it goes too high with my minimum settings I wouldn’t have got a workable photo anyway.
I shoot sports photography at 500mm, f/8, generally shutter speed of 1/1000, and I set the iso to auto but if it’s day time it never goes too high.
But in more challenging lighting you can change the shutter speed and aperture down obviously. But like if it’s dark and I reduce the shutter speed to 1/200 or something I might get some bad pictures with motion blur but I’ll still get some okay ones some of the time and it’s either that or just stop taking photos.
I think the best lighting if the tanks aren’t lit well enough would be a couple of underwater compatible led strips that you could put maybe in the front corners inside the tank and then try to block out any external light with the hoods people have mentioned but also turning off all other lights and closing blinds if appropriate.
For sporting events getting as much light as possible is pretty important because you’re probably going to be shooting at a very fast shutter speed.
That being said I use a 200-500mm f/5.6 and can still avoid going too high with the iso (though mostly outside during the day) and I usually shoot at f/8 so I think f/4 is still going to be okay.
I do sports photography and I think maybe I get somewhere between 1 in 5 to maybe 1 in 10 if it’s a bad day. But a lot of time the action is happening pretty quickly and you just take a shot hoping something exciting happens and usually it doesn’t. But I’ll have like 1000 shots or more after a session so it all adds up.
I shoot sports photography though mostly outside during the day but my process for selecting settings is I start with the shutter speed - I want it fast enough that I freeze the action - generally on a sunny day this is like 1/1000 but I can drop it down a fair bit if required.
Then I set my aperture which I start with what’s going to get the best sharpness but then I also drop this down a bit if the light isn’t good.
And lastly I just set my iso to auto. If the iso goes too high then I probably wouldn’t have got a good shot anyway if my other settings were different, so you just try not to worry about it too much.
The reports of Instagram’s death are greatly exaggerated.
(Also hashtags are working as normal for me)
