Moving on from DSLR to compact/mirrorless. Do I go for a Sony or Fujifilm? I would like to clarify that I am not a photographer. I bought the DSLR years ago because I simply enjoy taking pictures. As I get older I realized that my DSLR is too bulky for me to take picture of me and my wife during travelling and vacation. I am looking into Fujifilm X100VI or Sony a6700 with a small prime lens. I did some research on this…

Aesthetic Difference in Pictures Taken With An Old 30D versus Newer Models? I have owned my Canon EOS 30D for about 16 or 17 years. I’ve been troubleshooting an Err99 code that is popping up exclusively when I use the flash. I’m hoping that it’s a battery issue, since the sensors, card, and lens seem fine…but I’m sure it could be just about anything. While I am hopeful that a new battery could solve the issue when it …

Why is the background repeated in certain parts? I noticed in this photo that the background appears to be repeated and sort of flayed apart, even though the foregeound is clear. You can see it best when you look at some of the tree branches. Can anyone help me to understand the technical reason this happens? I’ve seen similar results in some of my other photos. Nikon Z 6ii + Nikkor Z 28-400/4…

What flash will replace my 580EX II? My 580ex II gave up the ghost. I’m considering claiming from my insurance, but they’ll ask me what the replacement is since they don’t make the 580ex II anymore. So, what would that be? Edit: I would prefer to stay with the Canon speedlight range, unless there is an obviously superior product that someone can suggest. Edit 2: I should mention I …

Does it really matter what camera? Sensor size? If a photograph is appreciate/loved by the person who (a) took it, (b) paid for it. Does all the criticisms of sharpness, exposure, tones etc matter?

Night sky with iPhone/DSLR. Is the iPhone cheating? We are enjoying clear winter nights with stars and planets visible at naked eye. I can easily shoot acceptable photos (see attached examples) with my iPhone’s 48mm (2x) camera set to 10s manual shutter speed and by standing still without a tripod. Encouraged by such results, I took out my D3100 with the 70-300mm and put it on a tripod, set to se…

Can anyone identify the glowing line he is using and can tell me where I could buy it? Like the title is already telling, can somebody tell me what kind of glowing line he is using? I tried LED Line, but the only ones I find aren’t nearly as bright as his.
