Adding Flash to Commercial Sets – Combining Flash with Continuous Light? Hey everyone, I often shoot on commercial sets, mostly alongside film productions. Since clients often want the photos and videos to have a similar look and feel, I usually use the film’s continuous lighting. Unfortunately, even with the continuous light at 100% output, it’s often not bright enough for fast shutter speeds and low ISO settings. T…

Would I benefit from buying a proper camera? Pretty new to photography. Hi people of reddit, I’ve been getting more interested in photography for the past few months and I have just been using my Pixel 7 for all of my pictures, and I was wondering if upgrading to a more proper camera (I’ve found a decent deal on a Lumix S5 II with a 50mm and 35-70mm kit lens (~€1700)). You can find some of the pictures I’ve taken be…

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHERS, what camo setups do you use? I ordered a blind and buying netting to help my game. I’m camouflaged here, was super quiet, didn’t move much and the ducks knew I was here.

What color bit export to use on raw?

What color bit export to use on raw? So I use a canon r100, which I believe is a 10 bit color depth camera from what I’ve found online. I’ve shot about 15 good pictures at a recent trip which I would like to give out digital AND printed. Whenever I develop the raw in any photo editing software, I get many options for BIT’s, but none have 10. Whenever I proceed with the import, my i…

How do you feel about vendors asking your for pictures of them from the event? Shot a company holiday party last night. The four-piece brass band texted me this morning asking for any shots of them. The event planner straight up came up to me and asked me if I had photographed the table settings yet, and that she was glad I still had the opportunity to do so before everyone starting sitting down hint hint. So they plan to …

Has anyone seen an app that makes ‘line’ frames or borders? Sorry for the wordy title question, but I’ve worn myself out looking for this. I used to have an app that made borders / frames (not sure exactly which way it was called) that had basically line draws near the edges of photos that could do things like make loops or hearts or words and still leave room. If I remember correctly, they could sometim…

Wanna talk VR, when to use and not use? Wildlife photography. I read over and over that using a VR while on tripod degrades the picture.

Should I upgrade from my A7sii?

Should I upgrade from my A7sii? I currently use the Sony A7SII, which is great for video, but I mostly do photography—primarily car shoots, including rolling shots and races. I’m considering the A6500 for its 11fps burst rate, which could improve my action shots. Not sure if I should stick with full-frame or switch to the faster APS-C. submitted by /u/Brilliant-Capital5…
