Hello Photography folks! Can anyone help me identify these things? I don’t know much about the technical side of film photography, so I’m hoping someone here can help. I think I found some really old film negatives in an old box. One side is glossy while the other is more dull. And of course there is an image when I hold it up to a light source. I’d like to know as much as possible about what they are, how th…

Shutter curtain issue on my Pentax K2? Hi all, TIA for any tips or advice. Below are some photos I’ve recently had developed from a Pentax K2 I’ve purchased from Marketplace. As you can see, some photos are completely fine and perfectly exposed, whilst some are being cut off by a shutter curtain. I live in South Australia and getting it repaired or looked at locally seems difficult …

Is this deal worth it? Hi guys, I’m considering buying a Nikon D7500. The used prices are around 650-700€ here, but I stumbled upon an offer at 250€. The reason for the low price is that the owner isn’t able to get rid of the ERR message on the screen/top LCD, despite the camera being in perfect condition and powering normally. She says she can’t take any photos becau…

Vintage vs New? I’m a big fan of some older gear. I recently bought a near mint vintage Tiltall tripod for 89 bucks. It’s amazing. Right now I’m looking into geared heads. I see older Manfrotto 410 geared heads, and new Manfrotto 410 jr geared head. With many things, the older ones are typicaly made better, less expensive, but they have wear. The newer ones mig…

Beginner camera and lens recommendations for Volcano hike? Going to be hiking Acatenango to see Volcan de Fuego in a few months. I’d like to start to learn photography before I go out so I can capture the experience. My hope is to capture photos of the volcano erupting and a lot of the scenery on the hike. I could use some recommendations on a camera and lens to point me in the right direction. Preferab…

Used Canon 70-200 F2.8 L IS I VS IS II with Haze? I’m looking at getting a used Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS for my 6D mk ii. There is a IS I in pristine condition and an IS II with some cosmetic damage and haze on the glass. The seller is unsure if it is fungus or just haze. It apparently has a small effect on the image quality. Both come with hood/cap/bag accessories and are listed at the same price….

users who went from D7000 to D7500, what benefits did you notice the most? (is live view usable now?) What did you love the most about the upgrade from D7000 and D7500? And one of the things about mirrorless that is tempting (but out of my price range to invest in that whole system) is that you can shoot primarily with the screen if you want, and you see all the changes in settings taking affect right away before you take the pic, what you see i…

What is the best Sony Camera for my wildlife needs? I have been doing photography for about 6 years now, mainly wildlife, macro, landscapes and weddings. Because weddings were the “money maker” a lot of my gear is centered around that but I am moving away from that for wildlife and macro (and a bit of landscape). The gear I am keeping is: Sony 200-600 and 90 mm macro (plus flash and diffuser) and…

Viltrox 56mm f/1.7, —”—f/1.4, OR Sigma 56mm f/1.4? I want a new lens for my Z fc. I haven’t gone out to do the photographs I want to take due to lack of a “proper” lens (proper as in appropriate for what I want to shoot, not the best possible). I’m thinking of these three. The Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 seems to win over many, but I read more about purple fringing on that one. I pixel peep and I’m neve…

How do I get to this “blue” in post production? Hi, all! My question is pretty much in the title – these are several “blues” I want to learn how to reach (with either presets, or editing tips). Personal favorites are 4 & 7, but advice for each is very much appreciated. A refrence for the starting point are pictures 12-14. Thank you! submitted by /u/palemlado

Do you print your photos for yourself? A couple of days ago, I decided to print my photos for myself for the first time, for no particular reason. :Ddd I chose three photos I took this year. The format is 10×15 cm(cheapest). I think I will print more in the future because I like having physical photos, and it allows me to evaluate my work more realistically. Plus, they look different…

How do you create this dramatic golden hour lighting effect? This shot has that warm, cinematic glow with strong contrast and a hazy, moody vibe. It looks like a mix of backlighting and maybe some added atmosphere. For those who shoot portraits with this kind of lighting, what’s your go to setup? https://preview.redd.it/tf3k0eu9uile1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c902229e0f5eb8c81377e370b865393f…
