Spot Meter for Night Photography? In addition to my Fuji X-T30, I have an old Canon AE-1. The Canon does have an internal light meter, but for better results – especially at night – I wanted to get an external meter (and not spend a ton of money). I ended up purchasing a Reveni Labs Spot meter. This meter seems to work just fine in daylight conditions (I am still learning how to…

Need-to-knows for self-taught amateurs? I’ve finally decided to invest in a better camera setup for wildlife -mainly bird – photography. After much research, I think I’m going to go with the Sony a6700 and the Tamron 150-500mm. That’s around $2,000+ USD I also just learned today that you’re not supposed to delete photos from your camera because it can corrupt your sd card. This makes…

What 35mm Film to Gift a Colleague? I’m starting a PhD and want to get one of the researchers that’s helped me a lot some 35mm film as a present. He shoots on a Leica M4. Only in black and white. He usually uses HP5 Plus and Delta 400. None of the shots are landscapes or long-range. It’s usually buildings (architecture), portraits, wall art, objects etc. Does anyone have any recom…

What Big Event Would You Want To Take a Photo Of? I stole this prompt from my local camera shop’s Facebook page, shout-out to The Camera Company in Madison WI. Whether it’s an historical event or something more personal, what’s the first event you wish you could go to, and what kit would you bring? I’ve been wanting to shoot a concert lately, so the first thing that came to mind was Metallica’s…

10 year old LX100i – f8 and be there in 2024? Thinking of buying a LUMIX LX100i just to use as a small cheap f/8 and be there camera to replace my old GR3. The lens is 10.9mm so around 22mm FF equivalent. Am I right in thinking with M43 it should have a pretty deep DoF at f8 at 22mm. Deeper than APSC. I know it’s 10 years old, so probably not great AF which is why I’m thinking of just relyi…

Workflow for school photography? Hey peeps, not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask, so please let me know if I should ask somewhere else. I’ve been doing school photography and recently had my largest job at photographing like 400 students for holiday pictures. We had some issues in our workflow and wanted to ask other school photographers how they do it to see if I can…

I shoot with an OM-1 film camera (with a hot shoe). Which compact flash under $100 should I look into buying? I’ve been looking for a lightweight flash for this SLR. I’ve read not to put heavy flashes on this specific hot shoe because they’re known to crack. Thanks!! submitted by /u/yesitsmax

My Godox flash died – what should I replace it with? I had two Godox tt685 speed lights, now I only have one. I need two lights to do the jewelry product photography that I am trying to get into. I’m still trying to build a portfolio for that, so the timing of this is really inconvenient because I feel like I haven’t done enough of this product stuff to really know where/if my current gear falls s…

How do you convert the file format of videos that are MOD files without losing any noticable quality? I have just picked up my dads camcorder. But when try to do anything with the videos that I’ve shot, I cant do anything with them. I suspect this is because they are MOD files, but I really have no idea. Is there any program that i can use for free to change the file format or is there any other way i can fix this? submitted by /u/sovjetd…

Is the focal length stated on Canon EF-S lenses the actual the focal length adjusting for the crop factor, or is it just using the same focal length factor from EF lenses? Sorry for the (somewhat) janky English, but; I was wondering if the focal length written on EF-S lenses the actual focal length that it can shoot from (for example: 18mm from an 18-55mm kit lens actually being 18mm) and it not being cropped due to the APS-C sensor crop factor. Because if you need a wider FOV, do you actually need to get a very w…

What would cause this type of banding? I noticed this colorful banding in some of my RAW images. It is only in some images and not others, settings don’t seem to matter. I also switched lenses and it is in the images with BOTH lenses, so it is definitely not a lens thing. Camera: Sony A7iv settings were switched and it is present with different settings, but the image clip I am attac…

Best camera for wildlife photography? I am looking into buying a camera for wildlife photography, primarily for different animal species but I would probably also use it for views/people to a much lesser extent. I am going to a trip to the galapagos and would really like to capture the different birds, reptiles, mammals etc on the island. I really value zoom capability the most and …

Anyway to remove glare? Hey.. Had some pictures taken and i love this one but the glare (there was a ring light) on my glasses is awful.

I have a Pixel Pro 7, if there’s anything inherent on that that you know of, th…

Upgrade from sony E 18-135mm? I have a Sony A6400 and a 18-135mm lens. I love the versatility of the zoom, but I feel the image quality doesn’t match the Sigma trio prime lenses. Not to mention the horrible low light performance. I’m looking to sell my sigma prime lenses, and buy a high quality zoom lens instead. Prime lenses are great, but when you’re traveling and tired …
