Working with kids
I’m mainly an equine and senior photographer, so I don’t get many opportunities to photograph families! I have a family session coming up and would love some advice on working with their kids. I know kids can be unpredictable, but I’d appreciate any specific tips beyond just “go with the flow” 😅 I’m not around kids very often, so any advice on how to keep them engaged, get genuine smiles, or handle it when things don’t go as planned would be super helpful! The kids are 2 years old and 10 months old.
NASA posted the Artemis II raws this week
Yes, the NEFs from the D5s and Z9 the crew were using in the cabin.
Some info on the dataset is here https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/artemis2/index.htm
Most of the iconic stuff is at the top of the "fd06" folder, but there is some fun stuff throughout the archives, like bracketed sets of the far side of the moon. If you wanted to see how the images looked with your personal processing, here are the files to play around with!
How to control light as individual photographer

Why is there no good grey market retailers in Canada?
Looking at e-infinity, Panamoz or costworld, prices in Europe, they are significantly cheaper than Amazon Canada, maple leaf photo or Yorklenses retailers. I could order from e-infinity US but at the risk of paying taxes and customs on top of the exchange rate fees.
Help Building Pinhole Camera
Hello,
I'm trying to build a pinhole camera that is easy to operate with my 4 year old. He really likes taking photos. We have a kids digital camera, and one that prints using heat paper (all black and white). I thought he would enjoy making one as a project
Does anyone have experience building one? I'm not sure how small a box i can get. I'm going to take a trip to Office Depot and UPS. But my main question is does the film width/height impact the F-Stop?
Basically I will have f-length probably something like 4-8 inches depending what is available and then the diameter of a pin. However, there might be a lot of empty space along the back wall where the film medium is. I'm going to run a regular film cartridge through on each end so I can do the trick where one film cartridge can roll the each other in and out.
So my question is if a 4-8 inch deep camera is too large, along with the back wall being much larger than the film frame is a problem?

I forgot how much I enjoyed photography
I recently got back into hobby photography after 10+ years away the last camera I had was a dslr camera with all auto settings and supper laggy auto focus. looking back at some of my past photos I’m pretty dang proud of myself that I could take the action shots of dog sports. I was able to time the lag just so that I could train my dog to wait at a distance and direct her over jumps etc.
at the perfect moment I’ve now definitely since upgraded and am loving every second. That’s all thanks 😁
Need photography friends
Hello! As the title implies, I'm looking for some friends that dabble in photography as well so what better place to ask than here? I'm hoping to find a few like minded people who I can just discuss, share photos, and grow together with. My main area of interest it nature, wildlife, and mainly, Cloud Photography. I'd like if I could meet people with similar interests but if you have other areas you like that's fine as well.
If you're interested you can shoot me a dm here but preferably I'd like to talk on Discord where I'm most active! My discord is: chunythevigilante
