How do I get my shots like this? It’s a photo of Brett Smiley by Gered Mankowitz (1974) What I love about it is the softness of the orange light and the shadows, along with the fact that it’s highly detailed (you can see every hair on their head) but not TOO detailed, there are still some softer areas in the photo and it’s not to grainy. How do I do this? Any camera/lighting/ed…

Macro shots?

( www.reddit.com )

Macro shots? Hi guys, I came here recently and asked about a camera, I ended up looking through some and got a decent deal on a canon eos 2000d, since then I have grabbed a pair of extension tubes and started macro photography on my invert collection. Getting to the point, how would I go about making my focus more “overall” on these macro shots? Is that even…

Which of these shots feels more impactful? Moro rock in Sequoia National park. I’m having trouble deciding which one to share. Or which one to share first! I am wondering which image is more engaging to the viewer and why you think so? Thank you! submitted by /u/FaultlineConsistent

Shooting Single shots vs. Burst?

Shooting Single shots vs. Burst? When I’m photographing people/portraits/family with either my mirrorless or DSLR I almost never shoot in bursts. Never. Just a couple of frames here an there. Recompose a bit, new shot, maybe two, three. When I see photographers on Youtube, many of them are using their (mirrorless) camera like a machine gun, shooting at the max. FPS and just goi…

bnw shots in the SONY RX100 2? the bnw shots can be done only for FINE and STANDARD image quality, not RAW and RAW+JPEG. Is there a way to shoot bnw in RAW or RAW + JPEG format?. Also it says processing image and takes a couple of seconds for processing for bnw shots, is the processor just slow? submitted by /u/Fantastic_Question29

Why are my “macro” shots blurry ?

( www.reddit.com )

Why are my “macro” shots blurry ? Hello. I’m adding some of my “macro” shots. They’re made using a D5500 and a Sigma 105mm lense. I rarely use a tripod but the lense has a rather good stabilization. I’m also pretty stable, hand-wise. I don’t think the blur comes from shacking. I tried using a smaller aperture, or a wider because I thought the blur may come from, simply, an out …

Macro shots, thoughts on them?

( www.reddit.com )

Macro shots, thoughts on them? Had my 50mm sigma f2.8 macro about two weeks. Wondering if I could get some feedback on composition, lighting and how these would compare to other insect shots. All handheld and single shots, video LED lighting. I’m happy with them but struggling to avoid reflections (such as the blown out highlights on the spider) and light diffusing as evenly …

How can I improve my shots?

( www.reddit.com )

How can I improve my shots? I have been shooting macros for quite some months now so asking if these can be done in a better way? All are single shots, never been so successful with stacked shots. I need more advice, constructive criticism for the shots so that I can improve. Camera: Lumix S5 with manual Laowa 90mm lens. Thanks submitted by /u/NeerajJosh
