What are the best settings to use for filming a proposal? Camera - 5D Markiii with 70-200mm EF lens Shoot is in an open area of a park and the weather will be overcast but bright (filming done secretly from afar) Any advice would be massively appreciated! (I am last minute jumping in to help...

The most I ever do with video is push the red button and take whatever it spits out. I figure as long as it's as good as my Betamax it'll be fine. :p I have need for some low light settings that will see limited use. This will be on a Sony A7 IV, but I am assuming (probably incorrectly) that...

Is this the flare problem I've read about with Sony cameras and 'wide' angle lenses? Thing is, it happened when using my 50mm too, not just the 35mm, but to a lessor extent.

I'm trying to replicate a label shot for a box for my latest train locomotive acquisition. I'm working on getting the 'shot' portion of the label. Here is a really bad photo crop of what I'm trying to make for my box which is missing the flap that would have the label on it from the factory...

I am using Lightroom (not Lightroom classic) however this behavior seems to be the same on both platforms (I have LR Classic but only use it as a DAM). In LR there is a preset called "Adobe Color + Lens + NR" (it is in the Basics/Defaults folder in LR and in Defaults in LrC). It seems to use...

Found one of these used at the local store. It was this or the OG K-5 or a K30. Came with the grip. For now, I picked up a usesd 18-135 DA WR lens for it just for testing purposes. There were nota lot of options in K mount AF lenses today. Which brings me to the subject I alluded to in the...

I noticed in another thread: Cloud Storage .... Several members are using iCloud for photo storage. I use iCloud for document storage but can’t quite figure out how to go about setting it up to back up all of my photos. I need a little help understanding exactly how that would work. I know...

My problem involves photos but isn’t photography related. A lot of my pix are ‘street portraits’. That is I ask permission first, usually. I offer to send subject a free copy(s) via email. Occasionally the photos are don’t go thru. They’re returned/rejected undelivered; used to be with a...

Dear family/team/friends/associates/y'all, A recent message from my daughter has re-kindled a repressed desire in me. So I turn to you for help. How does a shy person (really shy) overcome that trait to be able to approach people for photographs. It sucks because I LOVE the wonderful variety...

Hello. I have been having an internal debate for the last few days. I've been trying to decide between the Samyang AF 185mm f 1.8 FE and Tamron 70-180mm f 2.8 Di III VXD. Case usage: very fast and erratic subjects, basically dog from small to large sizes, running and playing out in the open or...

I've started playing around with the menu and interface on my sony a7c, just wondering if anyone has any tips on setting up and customising the camera. Any youtube tutorials or blogs would be great too! A few questions -How do I set a minimum shutter speed when in aperture priority mode? How...

I have a nice Canon EOS650 fitted with a 35 -80mm zoom. It takes really nice images. I do the processing myself and then scan them at 4800dpi using my Canon 3000f flatbed scanner. I have just processed two rolls of film and are very disappointed. This one of my previous images take a few weeks...

I'm probably doing something wrong - I wanted to post two separate FS ads, and it seemed like posting the second one caused the first one to disappear. I went through the process twice, same result. Is there a rule that says only one ad at a time? I read the B&S Rules but I missed it if there is.

OK - was planning on selling X-H1 and 100-400, then decided against it as there might be an airshow in Yuma in March I might be able to make. Can't shoot the airshow without something equivalent and I won't have the money for something better-suited. Anywhos... I had reset the X-H1. I've...

Hey Cool Kids, how do I respond/clear the Instagram icon that has the little bubble with the '2' in it? I gather that means I have 2 "somethings" to respond to, but I don't see what they are or how to respond. Or are they just meant to be annoying and frustrating?

I keep getting an icon that looks like a little present when reviewing images I took yesterday with the x100v. I can’t find it in the manual. I’m trying to do in camera raw conversion but it’s grayed out and I wonder if the icon is related. Help.

Hello everyone, i am a Canon 5D Matkiii girl. I purchased the Sony xr1rii as a compact camera for hi,ing, skiing and just to have a compact and not carry my big girl camera. I always have a fixed lense and decided that the Sony was the best option. I have it now for 2 weeks and I was a love...

It's all Andrew Cuomo's fault. Yesterday he decreed that all New Yorkers -- including folks like me in upstate New York -- must have available, or wear, a face mask or covering while out in public. Not having a mask, I opted for a bandanna to cover my mouth and nose. I put on my hat and caught...

One of these was edited with LR/PS, the other with C1/Affinity Photo. If you have a preference let me know which. A B

Travelling soon, and looking for a reliable, simple, and convenient way to back up my CD cards. I am aware of the WD Wireless Pro, but would prefer to carry less hardware and spend less money. I expect to take several hundred photos per day, over the course of nine days. I will carry my Apple...

Which crop should I start from? 1. Or 2:

I bought this lens a few months ago as a 1/2 price special from the Aussie agent. At the time I couldn't stretch to the Panasonic 20mm f1.7. I've since picked up a 20mm and can't find any love for the 30mm. Can anyone suggest why I should keep the 30? On m4/3 it is equiv to 60mm - perhaps it...

Never mind, found the hardware switch. I’m an idiot. Quelle dommage!!

Guys, could I get a little off-topic help here? Our friend, the super moderator from sunny Frimley, has written a very enjoyable book. I read it some time ago, but now I cannot remember the title or the author's full name so as to find it in my archives, either on Kindle or Nook. Could someone...

Solved! Turns out the Epson L805 is really nothing but a budget product, the solution is a forced installation of R330 driver and let PS do the colour management, and now I can sleep knowing I didn't throw away nearly 300 Dollars. With the R330 driver alone it behaves more reasonably than its...

Right, I’ve followed the various online tutorials about using infrared filters. I’ve set my white balance before taking the shots, and done the channel swap in Photoshop, but all the images still just look a reddish/pink mess. I suspect the Lumix G7 actually doesn’t see IR light, since I can’t...

Having used film SLR and RF in the early years and now mirrorless for about 8 years, some of you know I've got myself a used DSLR dirt cheap and I intend to have some fun with it. Although I've used some DSLRs briefly in the past I really want to understand how to get the most with its AF...

A tourism agency found some of my photos on my wife's website, and is inquiring about buying some for their advertising. Which is awesome, of course. But ... I've never done THIS this, not exactly like this. What's a fair price, and how do we document it?

I'm always trying to "optimize" my everyday-carry rig . . . ie, the camera I stick in my pocket in case a really cool sky shot pops up. Generally, that has been the Canon G12. Around Christmas, I picked up the GX85 with the two-lens kit. A couple of days ago, I noticed that the GX85 with 12-32...

I'm helping a family member go through a cache of digital items (computers, cameras, phones, etc.) and one particular item has gotten me paused... an HP PhotoSmart camera from 1997! :eek: This is HP's entry into the market and is the original "C5340A" model in their "PhotoSmart" family of...

Can anyone tell me why I cannot shoot more that a 5:20 minute clip with my Fuji XT-2 shooting just 1080p 30fps?? I'm using just the camera no grip (should get 15 min), original battery, and have tried 4 different SD cards ranging from 80mbs-90mbps. It is pretty frustrating that I'm having this...
