Do you use business cards?

( www.reddit.com )

Do you use business cards? I use business cards and I’m about to redesign a new batch as I feel my old cards don’t entirely capture me professionally (and I’m running low). I’m now more in favor of simplistic/classy looking cards. My new cards will have my name, contact info, and maybe a QR code for my portfolio. If I don’t use a QR code I might use the URL, I’ve had mixe…

What is the difference between these two lens? Hi all, newbie here. I was given these two (75 – 300mm and 28 – 300 mm) lens as hand me downs and I have been using them to practice wildlife photography (mostly birds). I am not really clear on the difference between them. I know that the 28 – 300 mm is the fancier and more expensive one, but as the max distance of 300 mm is the same I don’t re…

Where to get an 18mm lens that has an EF lock system for canon?

( www.reddit.com )

Where to get an 18mm lens that has an EF lock system for canon? I recently purchased a 28mm SLR pentacon lens which has been adapted to have an EF locking system, perfect for my canon DSLR. However, I forgot to account for the crop factor on my 4000D’s sensor. This means to actually have the look of a 28mm I would need a 17/18mm lens. I don’t have a huge budget and just need a lens which would allow me to ha…

Question for the fellow wedding photographers who have hired social media marketer – how has it impacted your business, and what specific strategies or results have you seen from their work? Any advice or tips for photographers considering this option? I’m a wedding photographer who started this journey four years ago.

It’s been so hard to connect with potential clients or even free collabs, and without recent events to share on my Instagram portfolio, I’m struggling to grow my business. I’m considering hiring a …

Lumix LX15 question?

Lumix LX15 question? I have a LX15 which is a great little compact camera. But I’m struggling a little with the definition and graininess of photos mainly in lower light scenarios. I seem to get a lot of grain and blue if it’s not a relatively light day. I recon this is probability user error so but wanted to ask. Maybe I’m expecting too much of my camera. Thanks …

Is there a decent face/glamour filter tool that looks natural? My girlfriend is obsessed with editing every single photo with her in it. Every photo without face slimming, lipstick & eyebrows applied is strictly forbidden. It’s fine if that’s what she want to do, the problem is the filter she uses makes her look like a cartoon. I’d like to take a shot at it and see what she thinks. I have literally zero exp…

Has anyone found a like for like replacement for silver birch colorama? Silver Birch has been disco’d and one of our main clients always uses it. They didn’t like anything from the current colorama catalog as everything is either too grey or not grey enough. Vanilla is too creamy, steel grey too grey. You would think Colorama would produce at least some kind of warm tonal light grey especially after pulling sea mi…
