Should I get a diffuser or an off-camera flash trigger and stand for outdoor portraits? A few days ago I did a test run with a bare flash on-camera. Half of the time, I end up with the deer-in-headlights effect. Do I buy a diffuser or get a trigger and stand?

Should I invest in a camera? Since I went sober I’ve been taking more and more photos on my free time. I love doing it. I take and post the ones I love.

Based off these photos should I invest and take it more serious? Btw all…

I want a travel camera that does it all (AND 50mm): Leica Q2 or Fujifilm x100v? I’m set on these two models but wonder if the Q2 crop mode for 50mm would be the same as using the Fuji 50mm teleconverter? Will both have distortion for portraits? Hear me out: I have a specific need. I love shooting more wide angle (28mm and 35mm) but I also love shooting at 50mm. I really want to get rid of my huge Fuji XT4 kit (for the excep…

In camera double exposure advice Looking for advice on how I could improve my technique for shooting in-camera double exposure. Both images are SOOC other than crop/straighten in LR. I haven’t dabbled in double exposure since my days in the darkroom but I’d like to get into it again. For double exposure shooters, is it more common to combine images in post or in camera? I’m mo…

Need help deciding my next camera gears (R5 vs A7RV) Hi friends. This is my first post here, and I apologize in advance. This is going to be a long one.

After seeing how ridiculous a GFX camera retains detail even after a huge amount of crop, been thinking whether FULL FRAME crops (100%) are unnoticeable and very much usable? My Fuji-X shows obvious quality drops after cropping After noticing that I couldn’t crop significantly on my XT2 XT3 cameras without losing much detail, I’m beginning to wonder if FF might be worth the switch, and whether I could get away with fewer lenses by just cropping e.g. cropping a 50mm shot to make it look like an 85 or something? I hope that makes sense. Just saw how a GFX photo is still …
