Starting photography as a hobby? Hi all, Thinking to start photography as a hobby. I find it really relaxing. Since I’m planning to travel around the US, I figured it’ll be a good time as any to start learning. But I don’t know anything about it. No idea on cameras or technique. Nothing at all. It’s just me, my phone, and whatever I think looks cool. So what are some resource…

Mirrorless Camera Recs for Amateur Getting Back Into the Hobby? I’ve been into photography for ~30 years, but am just getting back into after quite a long layoff. I currently have a D5300 (which I never really fell in love with), but am looking to upgrade to a mirrorless camera, possibly full frame. I’ve always had Nikons, and though I’ve generally liked what I’ve had, the only reason I bought Nikons is that…

Should I get the 50mm? Hi! So I’ve recently bought a used 250D with a 18-135mm, and I’ve just tried it today, and I’m a bit dissapointed I guess, but I’ve only tried it in my room with only a table lamp. Photo for reference.

Does shutter count matter that much?

Does shutter count matter that much? So I’m buying an EOS 7D Mark II and it’s shutter count is 148k. The camera is rated for 200k. So, is the shutter count too much? It feels kinda scary having 52k shots left, the camera’s life ticking away every shot. Is it too much? If it matters, I’ll also be doing all sorts of photography, but mainly plane and bird photography. submitted by…

Which one I should pick for travel? Hi, I’m a newcomer. I have used only a compact camera, bridge camera, and mobile phone. but now I am interested in M43 or APSC mirrorless cameras which have compact sizes for travel such as Lumix G100D, ZV-E10 mark I, and Fuji XM5. I don’t mind if it is M43 or APSC as long as it matches the price and size. I mainly use the camera for still photo…

Help with set design? Hey, I have a question on how to achieve this look. Does anyone know what kind of paper was used in this photograph? It is important for it to be semi transparent and that the silhouette of the model is distinguished. The shoot is focusing on the shape of the clothes. Thank you!

Which Digicam would you get if these were your options? So after discovering an old Powershot A2200 I had lying around, and having a lot of fun, I’m feeling like getting a second option as well, because why not? I’m leaning towards a CyberShot since I loved the look of the Sony’s back in the day, but not a must. Went through all of my local listings, trying to narrow down the options within my budget…

Beginner Photographer – got my first roll of film developed and need help on why it might have turned out like this with all these dots on my screen. Any advice can help please? I’m guessing that my ISO on my camera was too high which allowed to be super noisy and lead to not see anything on the film. But, I might be wrong and I need help on the problem here. Could it be the developer and printer? Lens being dirty and dusty?, Camera settings, Film roll itself? (Superia 400 Fuji), Developer? Idk if anybody can give me ad…
