Is the Canon M6 MII too old? Is M mount worth the investment? I am looking to get a telephoto lens for my M6. There are a couple m mount options, as well as some good efs options (albeit not as portable). Is it worth investing in an m mount system still? Is the M6 MII too old? Should I just be investing in a new system at this point? I’m a hobby photographer, so not as though I’m using this everyday or ev…

Best stores in Vancouver, BC? Hello! I’m looking to buy a camera for my girlfriend who’s a beginner in photography. I was wondering if anyone knows some good stores to check out in Vancouver. We both don’t know anything about photography, so I was hoping to bring her there and see if someone could help her pick out a camera. Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/Key_…

Weather Resistant Body Vs. Lens? Hi guys, I am thinking about upgrading my camera and had a question about WR. Due to budget and size constraints, I think it is unlikely that I can find both a body and lens that are weather resistant. This means I will probably have either a WR body with regular lens, or regular body with WR lens. My question is: which one of these pairings wou…

Have you noticed better JPEG quality from Lightroom vs other tools? LR left/DXO right, both at 80% JPEG quality RESOLVED: 80% isn’t 80%. Noticed LR output is 8MB or so, DXO is 4MBish. DXO has an 8MB output around 95% quality. Barely noticeable at this point. Thanks for the comments. Has anyone else noticed how the Lightroom jpeg export engine seems to do a better job than other programs? When exporting an edited…

Newbie question: micro 4/3, 1-inch sensors, and megapixels? Based on the info I’ve gathered, 4/3 sensors are bigger than 1” sensors, which means that 4/3 sensors allow more light than 1” sensors. Now, I am considering getting either the Panasonic LX100 II or the Sony RX100VA. The main reason why I’m on the fence about these is I’m not sure what the relationship between sensor size and megapixel is. The L…

What exactly does the power on a trigger do? At my day job, I’m using a setup that was put in place before I got there. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot some issues with misfires. The thing I’m stuck on, I can’t seem to find a simple answer for online – What does the power setting on the trigger mean? For example – We have 2 lights. One set to 1/8, and one set to 1/32. They are on the same…

iPad vs MacBook for editing? I’m almost exclusively a stills photographer. I do all of my editing on my Gen 3 iPad Pro (typically in Lightroom because mobile PS sucks) but I’m going to be upgrading my setup soon. My plan is to start making prints this year, and hopefully🤞a modest photo book, and my concern is image quality. How much difference will there be in the image qua…

Where do I start to learn portrait photography? I’m a Nikon guy, D500 and D750. I’ve spent years volunteering, photographing shelter cats- first in NY, and now in Sarasota. Over the years I’ve tried different lens and light options. I’d like to do pet and human portraits, strictly for my own enjoyment. I have Godox- AD200, V860iii, and TT600. Stands and umbrellas. I know I have enough gear (m…

What filters or editing did they do to this photo? This was my inspo for a pic I took today and I wanted it to have a similar vibe to this photo. I’m not sure if it’s just the lighting or if they used any specific filters or editing. What do you guys think? submitted by /u/waltfrombb

Starting camera recommendations for bird photography? Recently I picked an interest in photographing birds I find, with my iPhone 13 Pro camera. I can’t obviously get near them or they will fly away, so I need to approach very carefully or use zoom. I find that whenever I take a picture and I want to see more detail, the image starts to be weird, blurry, deformed? and I can’t help but think that th…

R7 body + sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN as first camera? Im leaning towards buying the canon r7 and sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN lens for my first camera. I think this kit would be a good “do it all” camera for a first timer. One thing that is leading me towards canon is the weather-proofing. The sales at my local store said the canon has better weather sealing than the xt5 and that the xt5 dails are more…

How do I get the sky clearer and the picture sharper at long time exposure? Hi there. I’m new to photography and just got a camera a few days ago. So I wanted to try out playing around with shutter speed. Went to a bridge, set the camera on the railing, pushed the shutter speed up to 30 seconds, turned down the iso to 125 and the lens to f16 It’s a fujifilm fx50 with a 35mm 1.4f Now the light streaks of the cars came ou…

Is this lack of sharpness a gear/setting issue or a skill issue? https://preview.redd.it/u03b1dhfaefe1.jpg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a07b8abe6db7adf486447f2d7d53f2c1c68e143 Here is an unedited sooc shot from my new-to-me setup of Olympus EM1 mkii + Panasonic Leica 100-400mm.

My light meter shows that I’m underexposing although I used the right settings. Can somebody help me? Hello, I just recently got a Minolta x300. It’s a lovely camera and it’s really fun to shoot with it. But I have a slight problem. The light meter shows all the time that I am underexposing my pictures. I adjusted the ISO accordingly, and checked the comparator (I read that this model has often problems with it). I knew that something was odd b…

What portable printer is the best for photos in dark settings? Hey guys! I want to take photos of my friends at a party in a few weeks, but the area is pretty dark. If I want to print these photos out to give to them on the spot, what portable printer is the best? I’m looking for a 2×3 photo but 4×6 works too, and maybe under $100?

Best Options for Photo Reviewing/Culling on the Go? I am going to be traveling for about a month shortly and trying to figure out a way for reviewing and culling my photos on the go. One of my goals is to use downtime in the evenings/flights to review/cull pictures so that when were back home I don’t have a massive backlog of work to do and can spend more time on learning more about the raw devel…
