Sunny 16 prioritising aperture Learning photography now, and reading about the Sunny 16 “trick”. You have your ISO, you set the shutter speed at the number closest to the ISO number (1/250 if 200), and then you set the aperture to 16 if sunny, and decrease as it gets cloudier. But, what if I want to shoot always at the lowest aperture (let’s say 16) cause I’m doing landscape …

Need some clarification re open aperture and 200-300mm So I basically understand depth of field, and my impression is that some image sharpness starts to be lost at 200-300mm focal length. I’m not quite clear about all the reasons for this, but I’m just reading now, for example, that at 200-300mm, slight movements become very noticeable and this may be counteracted with fast shutter speed. So, I di…

Depth of Field vs Fast Aperture for Baseball I like to shoot my son pitching. I have been using a Tamron 80-210mm f3.8-4 manual focus lens with a Nikon D7200. I’ve been wanting to upgrade to an AF lens and had my eye on 70-200ish f2 class telephoto lenses. I am concerned that I won’t see the benefit of a faster lens. I am usually 90–120 ft away. Since his motion spans approx 6 ft, I think …

Question about my Meike 35mm 1.7 lens. Is this distance indicator dial between the aperture and focus ring supposed to rotate? If not, does someone here have a fix for it? The lens works perfectly fine, its just bothering coz i can’t remember if it should rotate or not. It just feels kinda weird. TY submitted by /u/Capable_Elk7732

Aperture for group photos Hi, bird photographer here who is recently branching out into human photography for friends/family. I have an a1 + sigma 85mm 1.4 dg dn art lens. I can easily take a photo of one subject with aperture in the 1.4-1.8 range. But what do I do if there’s a family of say, 4? Obviously I want them the same distance from me and side by side, but how wo…

How to know what aperture gets 2 people side by side in focus Hi all – Equipment I’ll be using: Canon 6D and Canon 85mm 1.8 lens. I’m taking pics tonight of a public figure in my community. I generally use aperture priority mode at 1.8 or 2.0 as this person has expressed to me in the past that they really like my wide open photo style. Here is my question. There is going to be a visiting public figure as …

I’m new to photography and just came back from vacation with my first camera. I pulled out some of the EXIF data from the vacation pics and plotted two histograms of the focal length and aperture that I shot at. From this data I would say: 1) I am maxing out the zoom on my 18-55 mm, 2) maybe I would be better off with a farther-reaching lens(?), and/or 3) I don’t know how to position myself physically to take a photo and therefore am not using the lower focal lengths as much. From the looks of my aperture data, I’m trying to shoot wide open as often as…

Autofocus/Aperture solution for the EF to M4/3 Metabones Speedbooster This post is for anyone who’s lost autofocus or aperture control while using a Metabones Speedbooster to connect an EF lens to a Micro Four Thirds camera. For full context, I’m shooting with a Panasonic LUMIX GH5 and a Canon EF 2.8 70-200mm, using a Metabones Speedbooster to connect them. Both my camera and adapter have the most updated firmware…

Is any of the chinese super wide 50mm’s (like 0,95 to 1.2 aperture) any good? See title. I have some fun money to spend on a lens like this. I‘m asking general but am especially interested in FE mount. I am aware that most are manual focus and 0.95 is probably hard to handle that way. Still I‘m interested. Have you tried some? Do you still use it? submitted by /u/noheadlights

What is the virtue of full manual shooting vs aperture priority? I almost always shoot in aperture priority. I pay attention to the shutter speed and will often tweak ISO to ensure I have a fast enough shutter speed for my desired aperture. What I want to know is: what am I missing by doing this approach? I feel like in full manual I would be essentially doing the same thing that the camera is doing for me: a…

Nikon n4004s and nikkor af lens – how do i set aperture in aperture priority mode? Hey all I have a nikon n4004s film camera and a nikkor af lens (35-70mm f2). I usually shoot in auto mode, but I want to start using aperture priority where camera selects shutter speed and i set aperture. My question is, how do I set aperture? With the nikkor AF lens, you “lock” the aperture dial on the lens into highest aperture number. The c…

Using lens to adjust aperture Apologies for what is probably a silly question. I have recently acquired an Olympus EM-1 MKIII. I am used to film photography. When I first began trying out the camera, I was able to adjust the aperture by rotating the lens. I’m suddenly not able to do this. I must have fiddled with something, but I don’t know what. Does anyone have any idea…

Aperture mode or Manual for portraits?
