The F shuttle was supposed to be over and done with by now after all. the greater justification for going to onboard digital maps would be to be able to show information in real time. last night there was an emergency GO that sent the southbound Fs via crosstown and the southbound E’s to Herald Square via Broadway. it was so last second, I was on the A last night and I did not knowing anything about it. being able to change on the fly is the threshold I set for completely abandoning paper maps on the trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody says they will enter service at such and such a date and it doesn't happen, then y'all will have fits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the best settings to take pictures and record video as far as ISO, shutter speed, EV, Focus, White Balance, etc? (Apologies for the multi-post, I'm seeing things I wanna respond to way too late lol) Professional opinion? Depends on the environment and, ultimately, your personal style. Shutter speed depends. You want the film look (24fps), 1/48 is your setting. Shutter speed is always double the fps you want. You want 60? 1/120. I wouldn't advise messing with the shutter speed because then you need to compensate your light and other things. So just stick to 1/48. Focus should ALWAYS be manual. You can hear and see the focusing so it would be better to train your focus pull. White Balance? Whatever you need to get white looking white. Easier aboveground as florescent green is an annoying issue, speaking as a Gaffer/Set Electrician. All of the things you want to know will come with time and your own talent. Experiment. Don't be afraid to mess up either. Some of your best work will come from happy accidents. Oh, and if you don't know the Rule of Thirds, learn it. A very important fundamental that will destroy the notion of needing a professional camera to take amazing shots. And don't breathe. That's the key to truly stable shooting. All my pics are via phone. But most don't know unless I tell them. Edited February 8 by LTA1992 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my pics are via phone. But most don't know unless I tell them. I've been shooting my photos and videos from my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra on the regular camera. But the image quality was a little washed out. So I just recently started using Pro mode and it's made a huge difference. I'm shooting 4K 60fps. The settings I have now are: ISO: 800 Speed: 1/250 Focus: Auto White Balance: Auto Thanks for your sound advice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if that doesn't do the job do you increase/decrease ISO. If your ISO is too high, let's say 1000 and above, it starts getting grainy. And it's will be quite noticeable in the subway, or just in dark period. 800 is a good start point.
