Nikon Z alternatives to F nifty-fifty 50mm lens? Hi, I’ve been shooting with my Nikon Z6 for a couple of years, both with the 70-20 Nikkor Z that came with the camera, and with my “old” F mount lenses of the D70s. For the past year or so I’ve been obsessed with my 1.8 50mm f mount lens (the nifty fifty, as I’ve seen it called). But I’m annoyed of the F mount adapter and having to focus manual…

Street photography is sometimes like chasing a moment, sometimes like chasing a story. Every corner, every street offers an opportunity. What about you? Which street moment did you capture and why did you want to immortalize it? Which street photograph has touched you deeply, with its story, its light, or simply the beauty you directly observed? submitted by /u/Phoneq-global

Is Fujifilm X100VI a good/decent camera for portraits? I want to buy my first camera since I want to take photos of higher quality than my smartphone’s camera, and I really like Fujifilm X100VI’s colors.

A friend of mine told me that it is good for landscapes only and for portraits it …

Does anyone else write while they edit? What’s your process? I have a workflow question: I am going through photos of trips and am narrating those experiences. Right now, I’m going through my .nef’s in NX Studio for the first round of culling, and (as far as I’m aware) I can only make comments in the meta data. I can’t always get back into the same flow when returning to the photos, so I’m writing in pa…

How to film from outside while driving? Outside looking in. I want to do a video for our 25th anniversary. I want the opening scene to be from the outside looking into the car. I don’t have another driver to help as this is all part of a surprise. I thought about having my son hold using some kind of selfie stick but I’d like for the stick to not be visible. I could play that off with her since he likes …

Is there a fix for these damaged photographs? Hi all, My partner developed these photographs around 10 years ago. Ever since then, they’ve been hanging on a wall partly covered by passepartout on the sides and nothing else over the image itself. We recently thought about properly hanging them (on a decent frame) and noticed the stains you can see. The grey colors from a B&W sky have turned …

Difficulty picking a camera. Could I please receive some advice? I bought the S24 ultra this summer hoping the camera would be as good as I’ve heard people say it is. I didn’t want to invest in a heavy DSLR and lenses at that time because I thought the S24 would be enough, but my interest in photography has quickly developed to the point where I’d like to buy one now. Add on to that my failed aurora shots las…

Food photographers, how do you land clients? I feel like my current cold email / Instagram outreach approach is not successful. What could I improve? I’m a photographer, videographer, and do some graphic and motion design work for an ad agency full-time. My passion is food photography and I think my portfolio is quite strong and can hold a flame to other popular food photographers in my area (but also still has a lot of room for improvement). I’ve been trying to make this at least a side gig …

DSLR vs Mirrorless experience? A lot of jobs I am looking at require DSLR experience. I’m looking to buy a camera but the ones I like are the Canon mirrorless. Are the bells and whistles the same? I’ve never worked with a mirrorless before. If you know how to use one, can you figure out the other? In my experience, once you know one camera, you can figure out the rest – is it…

Nikon 200-500mm on D850 or D500? Hi, I’m going on safari in a few months and am looking to buy a super telephoto zoom. I used the 200-500 years ago on a D500 and loved it. I’ve also used the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary on a Z7 and didn’t really love it. If I go with the 200-500, should I pair it with my trusty D850? On the Z7 with the FTZ I think till do worse. Should I go buy …

How do you create portraits that instantly connect with the viewer? Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deeper into portrait photography and focusing on making my images feel more emotionally impactful.
