Can I seamlessly incorporate a 360 table with Lightroom? There has to be a better process than what I’m doing now. So I’m the photographer at my job, I shoot our products for print and web purposes. For each product we get a left, center, and right angle photo. Sometimes our products are heavy though, so we need to forklift them into our studio. For these products we put them on our PhotoCapture 360XL…

Asked to sign NDA to get brief? Hi all, I just received an email from someone at a fairly new but seemingly established global content at scale agency asking me about availability for a shoot. However, they said before they can share more info on the brief they will need me to sign an NDA and a ‘new supplier form’ to get me setup on their system. The new supplier form also in…

A6000 Bundle Question?

( www.reddit.com )

A6000 Bundle Question? This deal came up on FB Marketplace and I feel like it’s high but I don’t know what to counter offer. (They are asking $1000) I mostly would be purchasing for the A6000 body and the SEL35F18 – the kit lenses are nice to have but I wasn’t impressed back when I had the A6000 7 years ago. Mostly used for family photos, pets, etc. With that in mind …

HELP! Overexposed wedding photos at the ocean, can they be fixed?

HELP! Overexposed wedding photos at the ocean, can they be fixed? My wife and I got married last month at the beach and unfortunately our photographer’s photos came out extremely overexposed. The water and sky are so white, you can’t see any distinction in the skyline or any details of the water. We have been told by the photo editing team that there is nothing they can do because the RAW photos are so overexp…

How much can edited photos be re-edited without starting from raw?

How much can edited photos be re-edited without starting from raw? Sorry if this isn’t allowed, and please remove if so. My wedding photographer edited everything very warm, which hasn’t agreed with my skin undertone, and I look sickly in all of the photos. I’m wondering if the (edited) files I have can even be post-edited adequately to bring back true-to-life coloring, or if one would have to go back to the r…

Thinking about moving from film to digital. anybody else dealt with this? I bought the Pentax 17 when it came out and it has been a blast.

I love the retro aesthetic and the functionality of the camera. but now I’ve reached a point where i want to switch to digital. I heard of Fujifilm and their film simulations but also other cameras that can …

How to achieve lighting like this?

How to achieve lighting like this? I’ve got one rough theory; 1 large rectangular soft box, directly above the subject, creating that stark foreground to background gradient. The subject is also distanced well away from the background. For lighting the subject, the soft shadows trailing behind the subject would suggest something like one large soft box (with grid) at a slight an…

Hi, I just got an old Canon EOS 6D and wanted to try astrophotography, I just got my paycheck and I’m struggling to choose between these two lenses, they’re from the same brand, I don’t really understand yet if there is a big difference between the two, and the price is also really close, the 20mm is 448AUS$ right now on Amazon, while the 16mm i…

What do we think the lighting breakdown for this shot looks like? Hey all! First time poster here, long time lurker. Wondering if any lighting experts out there could give me their opinion on how this shot may have been lit in studio. The shot is clearly backlit but the front of the objects are quite bright which makes me think that there was some sort of intense fill light. I’m wondering how the photographe…

Beginner here…best starter camera for traveling? I know this question probably gets asked a lot but I’m a bit stuck. I’ve been looking into getting a starter camera for my travels, but I’m scared that I’ll buy one that seems good but is actually secretly ‘bad’. I was looking at the Canon EOS r100 mirrorless as it seems to have good reviews and is advertised as a good starting camera while stil…
