Would you guys advice me on what should I improve in my Instagram profile? I’m barely getting any traction or views, less than I was getting a month ago. Is there something wrong that I’m doing? Also, I’d like to hear your overall thoughts and if there’s anything I can ultimately improve. https://www.instagram.com/matei_lens Thank you for your time! submitted by /u/PepeTheTerorist

Why are my pictures so drastically different? I had DRO off.. this completely ruined some photos I took randomly as well as a shoot I had later at night as well… I have more examples of this, some are worse and some are not and I’m confused at the inconsistency. My canon NEVER did this

Bit of a Hail Mary… question about a previous post? I think there was a post on this subreddit recently that featured a black and white portrait where the body of the person in the photo looked like it had a trail, the photo had a very artistic and unique look. I’m aware this isn’t a great description, I don’t know the technical lingo to be able to say what technique was used. I remember in the…

Favorite camera/lens combo that goes over 1000mm?

( www.reddit.com )

Favorite camera/lens combo that goes over 1000mm? I recently experimented getting a cheap bridge superzoom, a Kodak az528, that goes from 24mm to 1200mm. Overall it sucks, but I’m surprised how awesome it is! Normally I shoot with a full frame 200mm lens, or an apsc 300mm. The good news is my normal cameras are still wayyy better below 300mm in every measurable way. However, there is simply no …

Professional Hybrid setup advice on a fairly decent budget? Hey guys – had my photography business for about 7 years now, and it has steadily converted into a hybrid video / photo business, with probably 60% video work that I love.

How do I perform a system recovery on my Olympus Camera (D-435)? I tried to format it so I could transfer some photos to my phone, ended up corrupting the system itself, a factory reset didn’t fix it, I tried to do it from the Olympus software and it says that there’s no updates available. Is my camera bricked or is there a way to fix it? It doesn’t show any text on screen, just text boxes, and it randomly op…

Most of my use cases are wildlife and landscapes, with the occasional portrait. I’ve been eyeing two lenses to potentially trim down to using two lenses to cover all of my needs. Th…

Which is better, Godox X3 vs. TT350 as trigger source for remote TT685ii? As the title says, I’m wondering if a Godox X3 or TT350 should/could be used as a trigger source for a remote stand mounted TT685ii. The X3 and TT350 are about the same price. The TT685ii would be parked in the room up high on a stand, perhaps lighting the ceiling, or perhaps with a modifier should be lighing just directly forward on the men up…
