Heuou, mines (at least a few of them) are when I first got my picture published in my first ever physical media: (Bottom left) The local news paper had an article about the Wellington Camera Club and the photo competition we have monthly. (And it was the first time I had a Highly Commended...

I do wonder if anyone has lived long enough with a print to test those claims ... sure you can say that "those belonged to my great great great great grandma" but 100 years ago most prints were still made of glass. (Are they nuclear explosions from WWIII hotter than the sun proof?)

I hope both of you will come out well and health, Ann the good luck in the world and my warmest wishes and regards. Ovi.

Well I only said not photography related for all the bad boys and girls who get whisky, scotch and wine bottles instead :P Very nice self gifts :)

Please share what you received or got for yourself this Xmas, photography or not related? I got for myself a Fujifilm Instax Wide mobile printer and I haven't had this much fun printing in a long time. I just can't stop making them (I already used a pack of 10 since I got it 2 days ago). I'm...

Another, very quick, test. Little Legs had a bath today after her doggie walky and I wanted a picture of how fluffy she gets: I wanted hair light behind her, purple was her mom's favourite colour so why not give the Ulanzi VL49 RGB a test. Getting her to sit still and pose is a whole bag of...

Wish I read this one first before writing my reply on your 2nd post. With 2 bodies you will find it a lot easier to be versatile and reactive. You won't need the 50-200mm (great lens, I had it too) unless you are outdoors. 50mm f 2.8 is not that fast indoors. It's a good lens to take out because...

Sigma 16mm f 1.4 is a great lens though a bit big for what it could be, it's the same size as the Olpua 17mm f 1.2 Pro. The only downside is that it will have more purple fringing then either options you mentioned, it will give you a bit more work to do in post (if you plan on having prints then...

It is a bit late, 1 month late, but I do appreciate the advice and will keep it in mind for the future. In the end I did get the Samyang AF 35mm f 1.8 which I used outdoors for close ups and group pictures (there were few guests and plenty of space to not have to go to 28mm) and I got the Tokina...

I appreciate the mention. I still prefer natural light for most of my pictures. My light manipulation experiment is aimed at macro, as I plan to work on 2:1 and 1:1 I need more light then my room and living room lights can provide, working under 10 cm distance from the "subject". Personally I...

So I received yesterday the 2 LED lights and only one of the 3 GorillaPods (which is odd, they should all have arrived on the same day, but anywho). Today I did a little portrait test with them. I put my Sony a7R II with the Tokina atx-m 85mm f 1.8 on the GorillaPod Mini, which is rated at 500...

Thank you for the videos, they were very educational. I didn't feel that I was struggling with a creative block BUT it did help me with some of my own self-doubts (my therapist was mentioning it as well). My relationship, interest and love for photography have changed so much and so many times...

I have hard months coming ahead. Working over 250 hours this month and next month I won't have time to go out or take advantage of late sunrises and early sunsets. I am hoping to build a mini macro Studio with wooden frames from a pallet and cover them with velvet blanket on own side to absorbe...

"That" time or the year is approaching, for some it's already here, the weather is cold and/or wet, the clouds are grey most days, the light is getting shorter every day. For some winter can be difficult to go through (I am affect by depression of winter season). So, the question is What is...

I have received permission to share 2 pictures from a friend of the family's wedding to share and use them in my portfolio: After the wedding, we headed home for a barbeque one of the friends wanted a picture and I was allowed to make a few, snapped a handful as I was intrigued to see how the...

Hello. So this Friday I shot a friend's wedding, it was a very short event with only 8 and 1/2 people (their 2-year-old daughter was with them) at the local registry. There was no church or main event. Unfortunately, the couple was giving me low expectations and organization on what they wanted...

Update on editing the wedding pictures. The laptop behaved most of the time, there were a few hiccups when cropping or trying to clone stuff within Lightroom, had a few system freeze-ups for a few minutes. But I still feel like editing 90 pictures out of hundreds shouldn't have taken a whole...

PS. This is the level of which I have "optimised" (aka Killed Processes) RAM usage before I start editing pictures: Most of the Running programms (by Memory Allocation) is Window's own processes, nVidia GPU drivers, ASUS propriatary drivers for this laptop and Google's Drive and Microsoft's One...

1:1 Previews were supposed to help speed up the process for very large RAW files because it gives you a smaller (and a bit lesser quality) preview to speed up the response time and the editing process. For the Page File System, I have fixed a minimum and maximum of 100GB because sometimes I...

My platform is limited to PCI Express 3.0, my Corsair Force MP510 2TB is about the limit of what I can get: Even if I had PCI Express 4.0 the cost of a 2TB nVME at those top speeds would be about as expensive as upgrading my motherboard with i9 and 32GB of RAM. Unforunetly I do not have 2 m.2...

I have not tried, Photoshop is not something I am really comfortable with (especially compared to Lightroom), I only know the more advanced features that I can't get in Lightroom like Content-Aware Fill, Focus Stacking, Cloning and Healing. I don't even use the Layers, to be honest. I imported...

You are right. Because if the new fire of competition between Intel and AMD, the performance is being pushed to the limit yo try and outperforme each other. Intel's new Raptor Lake 13XXX series is pushing the thermals to 95 C in most heavy core loads and uses over 240 W on their i9 which is what...

That's a really good system, it should give you going for about 5-6 years. The CPU is really good and efficient, at 6 performance cores it can handle 6 files at once for import and export (same as mine) it will have really good IPC (instructions per clock, better than my lonely i7 9750H). Be on...

I have lived in 3 countries, 6 cities and 13 addresses for the last 20 years. I average 1.5 years per address, I have owned a ATX and mATX tower and 2 laptops over the span of 20 years and it's a "insert any groovy Austin Power swear word" to move parts of a country or even a whole country with...

I have just made a discovery that may solve most of the problems, well maybe except for the RAW editing process. I was editing older pictures and as I fell on files from my (now sold) Sony a7C I noticed that Lightroom and Windows itself were snapping about happily with no lag and no waiting, I...

When doing street photography it's very easy to handle the output, I get one shot for the static subject unless I experiment with different perspectives and compositions, and I go for about 3 to 5 if it's trying to get the right moment if it's action (like walking into the light or aligning...

I want to say this is just a personal opinion and is about my current situation, I find it a lot more helpful to put my thoughts in writing and gather as many views and ideas as I can from others because I get stuck in my head to often to find good (or any) answers as I can. (More specific...

I don't know why even trying to think about doing makes me feel like I'm cheating and undeserving of the pictures.

I live in a small town and we have only one park, smaller then a football field (which ever version of football you can think of), they don't have much staff as they only employ local gardening organizations. We don't have that many rescue organizations locally either, most of them are farms...

I have held strong to my convictions of not feeding the wildlife, no matter the temptation, no picture is worth the risk of making wildlife dependent or needy of human interaction. While it is arguable that our impact towards wildlife has made some of them already very dependent on our...

There won't be any venues or churches, it's literally just the signing at the register and a few family group pictures (depending on the weather), the whole thing is going to be around one hour. (Their full on wedding with venue and church is going to be done at a different date and in a...

Hello, a friend of mine asked me (wellore like volunteered me at emotional gun point) to photograph her wedding, it's not going to be a big event, just a main family and a couple of friends at the legal office and at home before that. She specifically wanted not a professional because it's going...

I know it sounds like a strange question for some of you, mostly the film generation. But I have been wondering this more often lately. How important or useful is a tripod for stationary subjects, be it landscape, buildings or nature in general. I always had a dislike for tripods because I...

Woke up this morning with 92 notifications of likes here from the post I left last night. Never seen such activity since the early days of Mu4/3 Forum.

Yo You mean Greece the planet or Greece the galaxy?

With our deprecated humour I am sure you will settle in like a pickle in a jar:

As a fellow Treky ... Dif-tor heh smusma.

Thank you for clearing that up for me, it does make sense that way. I'm not looking at gear specific showcase (unless I have something specific to showcase about a lens or a camera) but more subject type specific. I blame that on my OCD (or as someone called it Obsessive Compulsive Defacing ...

I don't see any subcategories for the Micro Four Thirds section. Do we post wherever fits the bill or make a new thread? Seems to be a bit easy to lose track of topics that way. I've been feeling the itch to share pictures again to boost my motivation and my interest in photography, since it's...

Fancy, handsome, irresistible, gorgeous ... Call me whatever you like :P
