What are some good upgrade options from the Canon R50? Currently, I am rocking a Canon R50 as my personal and professional camera. I was looking at upgrading the camera as I’m already finding some limitations such as the buffer size and overall quality. Like I said earlier, I have a business that I’m running as a side hustle and want to have a good camera for that while also getting some personal ph…

Hi peeps I’m looking for advice on creating an artificial lighting setup so that I can produce wristwatch review vids at night instead of during the day, in a fully controlled setup. Even with softboxes and LED lights, I struggle to get ideal (or very good) lighting at night using my current light setup and I can’t pinpoint what I’m doing wrong….

We picked a different picture for the digital thinking that we’d also have a digital of the other one but we did not. Is there someplace we can take the canvas one and get it scanned to get it as a digital c…

Off-camera flash for Canon F1?

Off-camera flash for Canon F1? I own an old Canon F1 and have been wanting to try out a flash unit. Looking into the shoe mount adapters that exist for the F1, I’m not sure I’d like to have the flash mounted to the camera, as it’s already heavy enough as is. If I wanted to use a flash unit like the Vivitar 283 off-camera, would that be a possibility? I know the 283 uses a sy…

Lightroom Mobile Geometry malfunctioning?

( www.reddit.com )

Lightroom Mobile Geometry malfunctioning? For the last month, the Auto Geometry on Lightroom mobile doesn’t work as intended. I mainly used the Vertical Geometry, but nowadays it doesn’t fix the perspective 9 out of 10 times and actually makes it worse than the shot itself. Is this a bug on Adobe’s side? All my apps are always up to date. submitted by /u/devler

How to attach a camera to this Manfrotto/Bogen 3262 head? Hello peeps and Happy Holidaze. I bought this Manfrotto 3262 head off eBay for a lighter weight / more portable option than my heavy duty (2.3 lb) fluid ball head. When it arrived, I noticed it had the 3/8×16 thread on top (not 1/4″) and no shoe mount. How do I mount my camera (1/4″ female) on this thing? Is it missing a part? Is there a common …

What two cameras to get for photo/video separately? I’m a photographer that does video work as well and when I felt my Canon 5Dmk4 was lacking in the video department I started looking into the perfect hybrid that does both jobs well and ended up with the Fujifilm X-T4. I’m generally quite happy with it – it does photo/video well but neither are mind blowing in my opinion. The more my business ev…

How do I get my shots like this? It’s a photo of Brett Smiley by Gered Mankowitz (1974) What I love about it is the softness of the orange light and the shadows, along with the fact that it’s highly detailed (you can see every hair on their head) but not TOO detailed, there are still some softer areas in the photo and it’s not to grainy. How do I do this? Any camera/lighting/ed…
