I tried to get photographs of a small wrestling match at Liverpool Comicon. I tried various modes on my Bridge Camera (Panasonic Lumix DNC-FZ72), and the closest I got was scene select > sport mode + flash.
Are there any other settings I could use to get a better shutter speed with indoor lighting?
I've been doing family shoots for friends and family since I got my camera last year, and I'm finally starting to market myself / charge people that I don't know. I had a shoot today and am feeling disappointed in the outcome. The first image tells you all of my specs. Shooting RAW on a Canon R6 Mark ii with the kit lense (24-105mm F4). This image (and most at this shoot) were ISO 100, F 5.6, 1/160 shutter. AI Servo AF.
My images are ALWAYS pixelated and NEVER crisp. See images 2-3 where, yes, I am zoomed in in Lightroom but it's also very obvious in the broader zoomed out image that the crispness just isn't there. These don't feel like professional photos - I feel like an iPhone can do better..?
I'm to the point where I am asking strangers on the internet. Please help! What am I missing?
I bought a Canon SX50 HS, tried using Canon DPP but it requires a CD-ROM and I can't install it no matter what I do. I'm looking for a free and simple program to edit my RAW images. I'm not a photography professional, much less an editing pro — I just want something where I can reduce noise, adjust shadows/lighting, basically just give the image a basic polish.
Looking into a few different set ups as a first camera and was wondering how important is overall weight set up? Obviously the lens is a big determining factor, but in your experience how does 5oz affect your shooting, comfort, and overall likelihood of taking it out leaving it at home?
I took this picture on Kodak Gold 200 and admittedly the ring is really dark and underdeveloped, is there any way to save it in Lightroom. Also any tips for the picture as a whole would be appreciated.
Hi, I dont know if this is the right place to ask this question, but figured it was good for a first try. Im a photographer, but i also have a background/degree in industrial design.
Im based in the US, but is there a place or site, where I can just buy a camera sensor? Like if I was trying to make my own digital camera, as the closest I can explain as to what im thinking( mostly to see if I can/weird design ideas- im not looking to rival sony).
Any leads, ideas, or more appropriate reddits are appreciated, thanks!
What I’m trying to do is get into art reproduction. I currently run a printing business mainly printing photographs, digital art and reprints of original art work that I’m able to scan in my flat bed or work that has already been digitized elsewhere.
My current set up is a canon prograf 1000 . The largest size print I offer is 16x24.
I also have a canon RP.
My question is will that lense and camera body combo be good enough to start off with?
I know that the lense and camera combo probably maxes out the ability to hit 300 dpi at around 13x20. But from experience I could go a bit bigger and drop the dpi count and still get excellent results.
I do intend on buying a whole new system in the future but for now I’m hoping this will be good enough:
Thanks for any and all responses.
Hi, I have a Canon EOS M50 Mark 2. I have the longest lens available for this camera, 55mm-200mm but I want longer. What lens adapter do I need and what long distance lens would you recommend? I'm looking to photograph wildlife from a distance. I know it'll probably be heavy, but if you can say how heavy the lens is that would be great. Opinions welcome! Thank you.
I have been shooting for the past couple years with an old Canon Rebel film camera. Although I've enjoyed the camera, I want to make a digital purchase (film is unsustainably expensive for me). I'm looking for a used camera which is strong in variable lighting, isn't massive, and has a large lense market. My budget for a camera body is around $300. I've been looking at some bodies like the Sony A7i, the Canon T6i, and some others. I would appreciate any recommendations, as well as thoughts between the two options I have listed. Thanks!
I have Canon digital (R6M2 and R5) and film (EOS-1 V) cameras and for simplicity reasons I would like to buy a flash compatible with all my bodies.
Because of the EOS-1 V this flash would have probably to be a version which doesn't sell new anymore (actually I am targeting the Canon 600EX II-RT Speedlite but that can change).
I would like to know which criteria I should focus on when buying a used flash. The best advice I found was to look at the bulb : if it is white it is okay, while if it is yellow or crackled then it is not okay. But what if it is white but still has been fired a ton of times etc ? If I am not buying online, what can I test in store ?
(This would make me lean towards buying a brand new one but this is not possible because as far as I checked the new ones still selling are not compatible with the EOS-1 V.)
A regular camera has a variable blade aperture which the photographer can use to control light as well as depth of field. However, achieving a reasonably shallow depth of field requires longer FL’s.
Given the small sensor size and the short distance between the lens and sensor in the iPhone, how much of a real impact does the blade aperture have?
I’ve read a few articles touch on this but didn’t find their take very credible. I want to ignore all the marketing claims and get a straight answer from photographers.
I just got back from a trip to Japan. I'm not 100% happy with some of the night photos I took. They've got a nice vibe, but all of the illuminated signs have a bright glow around them, making it hard to read the text.
Normally I take landscape photos while hiking, this was my first time doing night photography, and the rain might also have been a factor. Was there something I missed when taking these photos?
I used Aperture Mode (f8 for first two, f2.8 for last two) on my A7RV with a Tamron 20-40mm lens. No filters or post-processing beyond the camera's built-in "Vivid" creative style.
