Swinging Ball lighting? Ok photographers, I have a fun discussion for us. I was at the Hirschhorn museum in DC (please go if you have not been), and I was super captivated by this photograph by Bernice Abbott called “Swinging Ball” from 1958. I’ve been trying to figure out how this was accomplished; the ball is obviously swinging around a pivot in the middle of a dark …

Which sites about photography are worthy to follow? Please, recommend me web sites about photography which are worthy to follow.

Where to buy items for amateur photo shoot? So I know there may be a simple answer to this question, but as a nobie with just an iPhone, where can I buy a back sheet similar to ones in the pictures? It looks like satin, but I’ve looked on amazon and couldn’t find anything long enough. Maybe I’m not searching up the right thing? Also how would I go about doing this setup? This is just for…

How do I create an image that goes from old to new? Occasionally I see on Facebook a photograph of an old landscape then it’s sweeps to show what it looks like now.

I’m shooting photos for a wrestling team and I really have no idea where to start or lenses to use. For context it’s not like a actual game I’m doing team photos and Im thinking I should just bring my 70-200mm f2.8 since it’s probably the best lens I have what you do think? submitted by /u/oompaloompa_08

OM to EF lens adapter recommendations? Hi there! I have quite a few lenses in the vintage OM system that I like using, and I’ve purchased two different lens adapters to use with my Canon 1DS mk. II.

Has anyone used Darkslide Film Lab for processing? Hi everyone – I want to preface this post saying that I am not a photographer. I bought a Kodak Ektar H35N camera to take on vacation last year and thus had some film that needed to be processed.

Original picture hidden in AWR – How to access? Hi, this is a bit complicated to explain, but I took some pictures with a Sony Alpha 6700 and when I go through the pictures on my windows laptop the JPEG and ARW look identical.

Can I fire a Fuji compatible Godox speed light from a Nikon compatible trigger? Sold a bunch of Fuji gear (X-T5, various lenses) to fund a ZF and 50/28 lens combo.

Used a gifted disposable camera without knowing the rules— will the photos turn out completely blacked out? Hi all! I’m a complete photography novice and was gifted a Harman Black and White camera with an Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (ISO400/27).
