Capture clip for Christmas for a dslr owner ? Hi all ! I wanted a couple of opinions on buying a capture clip for my boyfriend who has a Canon 5D (I think…).

How unbalanced it feels generally and 2. people’s opinions on using it w…

Are these photos from my recent Morocco trip too warm? I’ve been experimenting with Light Room over the last few months and building filters that I feel work for certain scenarios.

Impact of rolling shutter on photography of moving subjects? So at some point in the nearish future I’ll buy a mirrorless camera (full frame if thats relevant). I’m reading about this rolling shutter effect that can happen because of slow sensor read speeds but I’m lacking understanding.

This frame around my sensor is moving. It’s obscuring my images. Am I cooked?? I was taking photos yesterday and noticed the shutter sounded different. While editing I noticed black sections along the outside of the frame. I looked at the sensor (don’t mind the dust, I cleaned it after taking the pic) and this frame moves when I physically turn the camera. Is it repairable? submitted by /u/Chingonjabe
