Color Harmony With Black Items? I want to photograph a black baseball glove. There are some brown leather stitching accents in the glove. My studio default is to flood my back drop with high key lighting and use white surfaces with black items that I’m imaging. Is there a more striking color harmony for making this product/still life image? submitted by /u/effects_junki…

Advice for hair colorist taking pictures in salon with low light? I’m a hair colorist, new to using a real camera, and I’d like to use it for my social media content, but I’m still learning about exposure. The salon where I work is quite dim even in the daytime with very warm lighting. This picture was taken right by the window at about 2pm on a kit lens at 50mm, f6.3, 1/80 at 640ISO. The exposure and a few ot…

Help with pet portraits at home? 🙂 I was looking to take portraits of my partner’s cats while they are away for the holidays and surprise them with either framed photos or a mini-album of our adventures together while they were away!

600EX-RT + X1R-C + XPro-C + Canon 5DIII: Flash firing too quickly for shutter…? Forgive me as I am a noob with both speedlite and godox but I managed to get my 600EX-RT to fire remotely but most irritatingly it always fires just before the shutter on my 5DIII opens, meaning my images don’t get lit. I’ve tried different shutter speeds on the camera but it always opens after the speedlite has fired. What am I missing? sub…

I’ve volunteered to photograph a march in January – any advice? Hello everyone! I’ve volunteered to photograph a march I’m taking part in, as the cause means a lot to me and I’d like to help encourage future events. I own a Canon R50, a 50mm f/1.8 lens, an 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3, and a 55-210mm. My first choice is obviously the 50mm, but I’m willing to pay for another lens. My budget is below £500 ideally- is th…

Looking to Upgrade, What should I get? Hi, I’ve been suing my canon T4i for a while now and I’m looking to upgrade. Im thinking of getting a full frame mirrorless camera but am a bit lost with what I should look for.

Recommendations for quick-setup strip lightboxes? I currently possess some traditional strip boxes – but I was thinking about purchasing quick setup ones (if good ones are available) because, frankly, my current ones are okay to set up once in studio, but the whole “put rods in a hole, forcefully bend them like a dictator ruling his subjects, damage your eye in the process” routine is getting a…

How can I remove a stuck UV filter? The title is kind of self explanatory. I have a UV filter stuck to my front thread on my nikon 24-70 2.8e VR. This lens has a plastic thread so using a lot of force is scary. The UV filter doesn’t have glass as I broke it trying to remove it. Any thoughts on how it could be done? Maybe adding some drops of a lubricant or any tools I could use? …

Is there a solution to the purple lines appearing on photos? Hello, I took some photos on one of my trips, and when I was sorting them I noticed some anomalies. You can see them on the photos: they are three large purple lines that are horizontal (since they don’t change position between a horizontal and vertical shot). This is quite astonishing, as the problem only affected around ten photos, and then di…

Wishing to recreate this at my home. How do I do it? I believe this is AI, but I aim to shoot something similar showing the depth of a plant, through a similar composition. I have many plants in my backyard but I highly doubt any has this plant to root size ratio so I think I can mix and match them to get a similar look. I aim to submit this for a themed photograph on “Deep” theme. I have a a6700 …
