A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

True. I know the guy that has been the “official photographer “ for an NBA team for years. He has his own strobes installed in the arena. Once you know what to look for you see constant flashes during the game. It’s not like looking straight at a flash going off, just enough to smooth the shadows.
I was the only photographer in our college conference who got permission to put up strobes in our arena. If the other team complained, I had to turn them off, but what I always did was emailed the coach the week before and offered a few shots in exchange for them letting me shoot with strobes on. Only one team ever had an issue with it and the rest really appreciated a few good shots they could use on their socials.
