what is an aps-h sensor? (1.3x crop) and why is it no longer a thing? Hey guys! Been shooting for some time, but i’ve always been curious as to what an aps-h sensor is for & why was it discontinued? Whenever I go on camera decisions I always look at sensor types and forget about aps-h. When I click on it i’ll see multiple variations of the canon 1D series, a sigma quattro & a leica m8/m8.2 ( which this entire time…

Variable ND filters vs. fixed ND filters? I’m experimenting with over-lighting a “cozy” indoor scene and using ND filters and shutter speed adjustments to achieve a low-light effect (e.g., a candlelit or desk lamp setting at night). I’m going to play around with it to achieve an interesting look that wouldn’t be possible in true low-light conditions. That said, since this isn’t a typica…

Best action cam for still photography? Hello! I’m looking into buying an action cam mainly for photography (trips, holidays). I really like the compact size of them and the fact that they’re waterproof so I can take them to the beach and in the snow. I was looking at the gopros 10/13 (13 bc of the macro lens and how it gives the feeling of “traditional” camera) but I don’t like the f…

What are these lines on my negatives? At first I thought it was the lab, but it’s occurred on two rolls now and the streaks extend through the frames. Worth noting that I’ve only seen them on rolls of portra I’ve put through. This is a new to me camera so I’m worried about it submitted by /u/icodeandidrawthings

Theme Park Trip. When Would You Leave the Camera at Home? I’m a pretty serious hobbyist, and I’ll be visiting some theme parks with grown kids and a new grandson. While I’m tempted to take my R8 (some serious AF going on there) and a fast lens to capture the event, I’m wondering if even that simple set up might bog me down on a ride and/or when wanting to just be a grandad in the moment. Maybe the iPho…

What are your opinions about bridge cameras? I started this hobby last year got serious at the end of the year. My father gave me his old SX40HS, I fell in love with the camera and I’m planning to buy a mirrorless this year. Recently I did travel a bit with this camera with my gf and we loved the photos we took. But I noticed that bridge cameras were rare or not really talked about in the …

Thinking of upgrading? I’m thinking about upgrading to a new rig. At least new to me, I’m will to go refurbished for cost. I’m a Canon guy. I currently have the Rebel T100, quite entry level.

Is it possible to recover photos from an order summary photo? Sorry if the title is confusing, I couldn’t think of another way to put it. Basically I was going through baby pics the other day and I found a stack of 6×4 photos of loads of thumbnails to images but the actual pictures weren’t anywhere. I assume what I have is an order summary. Is there any way to recover the original photos (like by typing i…

Is it rude to block off a public stairway for a photoshoot? I was at the public library downtown earlier. It seems to be a popular spot for people to take photos, given the architecture and whatnot. Anyways, on the rooftop there is a stairwell that I needed to access in order to get to the benches. Some lady with a camera was shooting her subject, with her bags and jacket right in the middle of the stai…

Tips for capturing an explosion? Question for upcoming shoot: To preface, I’m in the army. We’re currently closing out our current Combined-Arms Live Fire Exercise (CALFEX) field time, and on Friday we’re set to fire off some Mine Clearing Line Charges (MICLICs), which results in a pretty huge detonation complete with a visible shockwave, and I’m planning on taking my EOS R8 ou…

Boudoir Help? So for context I’m in the swinging scene and a woman! Me and my friends are always taking lingerie pictures and I want to level up our game! I’ve also been very interested in boudoir photography prior to entering this lifestyle but have never had the push to do it until now! I used to photograph bits and pieces but still at a very amateur level!…

How do you feel about lack of “leveling up” in photography? In other arts and hobbies there milestones that people reach, like musical instruments have levels and increasingly harder pieces, chess has the ELO ratings and titles, dance has skill levels, and so on. With photography there aren’t extrinsic markers of progress (that I know of). I wonder how people feel about this; whether this causes some to …

I currently have a Nikon d7500 and want to start a side business doing people/ pet portraits – Upgrade first, or start with current gear? I’m a farmer, looking to start a side business as a photographer. We always have flowers and great scenery on the farm, so I thought people might like the area as a venue. I’ve taken personal family, equine, and pet portraits over the years with a d7500, using a 50mm 1.8g lens, and (sometimes) a godox flash. I understand that the d7500 is a cro…
