Amateur DSLR shooter 10 Years Ago, Need Help in 2024 Choosing a Camera/Lens System, How can I choose Between So Many Options? HI all. I got into amateur hobby photography 15 years ago.

Is this a good framing? How can I improve it? Hellos, so when I look at this photo, my attention was drawn at the female at the foreground. But I can see that the conductor is the one in focus. However, the conductor is kinda far away. Should I crop the photo tighter? Is it only me who feels this way? Or do yall have any advice on how to improve the framing of this photo? Thanks in advance…

As a second lens. Should I go for wide angle or pancake ? Hi there. I’m going down for FUJIFILM XT3, I’ll try to get the basic 18-55 as a first lens, but I’d like to buy a sidekick.

People who asked for gear advice on this sub, followed it and are still here, what’s your story?

Overall I think the quality of the 90D is great for my skill level. However the 90D’s autofocus can be a little finicky at times and I’d like to get a camera to improve my landsca…
