Amateur needs new camera, should I buy same model as I had? TIA My camera was recently stolen šŸ˜ I had a Rebel T7i. I’m a pretty good photographer, just have never had enough money to purchase anything higher level than Rebels. In same boat now—limited budget. Was thinking of just getting another T7i since I was able to take some photos that looked as good as professional with that camera. I’m now contemp…

Just got my first amateur gig. How do I set up my camera? What’s up everyone. I’m new to the community and to photography overall. I’ve only been doing it for a few months, but have seemingly picked it up fast enough for my high school friend to see promise. He’s asked to get shots of his band during rehearsal and during a show. The rehearsal part I have confidence in, but what are the best modes/setti…

Amateur photographers, where do you show your work online?

Amateur photographers, where do you show your work online? I’m an amateur photographer so I’m mostly asking amateur photographers. I’m curious if most of you post on Instagram, your own website, or some other platform. I don’t like insta given how tiny the images are (and Zuck’s recent policy changes for Meta content turned me off even more). I used to post on an alternative social media platform called…

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…

Cameras for amateur concert photography? Hello, looking for some advice. Was into amateur concert photography before Covid using a Powershot G5 M II. Still have that camera (though it’s bit gummed up from having quite a lot of beer spilled on it), but would like something better. Obviously has to be fixed lens to get in without a press pass; the only contender I’m seeing is the Sony R…

I’m an amateur with a sony a6100 and sigma 16mm f/1.4 shooting mostly pictures of my kid and wondering how to choose aperture?

I’m an amateur with a sony a6100 and sigma 16mm f/1.4 shooting mostly pictures of my kid and wondering how to choose aperture? I saw a recommendation that you shouldn’t always shoot wide open. as an amateur i’ve fallen into the trap that bokeh looks amazing and is the most important especially when taking cute pictures of my kid. I usually shoot at 1.4 because i take pictures inside and want to maximize shutter speed and minimize iso. Is there any reason to be shooting …

Amateur DSLR shooter 10 Years Ago, Need Help in 2024 Choosing a Camera/Lens System, How can I choose Between So Many Options? HI all. I got into amateur hobby photography 15 years ago. I started with a Rebel XTI and the kit lens. I moved up to a Nikon D7000 in 2011 or so. I really got into backpacking and hiking, and that was right when smartphones were getting good. Long story short, I stopped lugging my Nikon around with the heavy 18-105 mm lens. It took great pics a…

Which cropped frame camera for occasional amateur sports photography?

Which cropped frame camera for occasional amateur sports photography? I’m a pretty experienced photographer generally, but have been out of the gear buying game for about 8 years and so my gear knowledge is likely out of date. I currently have a Pentax 645Z, and while it is good for things that need medium format quality, I’ve been doing a little more sports photography and 3FPS isn’t exactly ideal. I primarily p…
