To all the street photographers out there; when asking permission to take a photo how do you prompt people out of the instinct of turning to you and smiling? I’ve been doing street photography with and without permission for a while now. I have gotten some great photos both ways but I’ve been trying to think of a way to quickly prompt people to do anything but stop and smile when I ask for a photo. I want to be able to capture things quickly with little direction since I’m often stopping someone and …

My primary interests are vlogging (gym and lifestyle content) and sports videography, specifically recording games. Would the ZV-E10 be a good choice for these needs? If not, can you recommend a comparable camera within a similar price range that w…

Help with Pentax 90mm f2.8 Leaf Shutter Lens Flash Sync Issue?

Help with Pentax 90mm f2.8 Leaf Shutter Lens Flash Sync Issue? I recently got myself a Pentax 90mm f2.8 leaf shutter lens in good working condition—except for one frustrating issue: the flash port on the lens doesn’t work. This is a major drawback for me since I want to use flash at sync speeds above 1/30s. So far, I’ve contacted at least six different repair shops, but none of them can fix this specific le…

Where do you put your gear when travelling by air? Hi, so I bought a KNF backpack that is 33L (34 x 22 x 54 cm) about 2 months ago, but I just realized that I didn’t consider whether it would fit in the cabin storage. As fellow photographers, I just want to know how you all bring your gear on the airplane. Is my backpack oversized, or is it fine? Thanks. submitted by /u/Ill_Implement_6224…

What parts or aspects of cameras are noticeably better (or worse) since 5/10 years ago? I guess I’m mostly looking for stuff an amateur would notice, but pro aspects are of course also interesting to hear about. Both objective technical facts (e.g. auto focus have gotten faster, or sensors are faster but have worse colors, etc.), and also your subjective opinions. I am interested in technical stuff in general, but have absolutely n…

I don’t know how to go about pricing, and I don’t know how much to charge. I woul…

Landscape Photography and Decentered lenses? Hey everyone. Just looking to hear of your experiences and approaches to how often you’ve experienced lenses that are unevenly soft (eg on one side more than the other) and what you’ve done to overcome it or find a compromise. I’ve tried several Sony 24-105 f4 lenses over the years and all of them have been plagued by uneven edge softness. Same…

Which wireless remote flash trigger system has least lag? I’m shooting with a leaf-shuttered lens and camera which has a max flash sync speed of 1/800s. I want to use speedlights to light up a fast moving subject, and to use the lens’ 1/800 max shutter speed in order to cut down on ambient light as much as possible. I don’t need TTL metering.

Which APS-C lenses would be best? Upgrading to the Sony A6700 APS-C. Will definitely get Sigma 18-50 f/2.8. Question: do I need a wider prime? Say I’m shooting a group indoors of 20 people. I have the Godox TT350 flash. Is this sufficient? May not even need a flash with a f/1.4. Also need to think about filters. I’m hoping Black Friday, or Cyber Monday will find them on sale! T…
