Turns out these cameras really do take good pictures of green shit. Neat.
Too bad they take for fucking ever to save raws.
I got this cheap locally hoping for a throwaway camera that I wouldn't need to worry about being lost or stolen. Then I looked up the used price.
Any tips for getting the most out of this cinder block of a machine?
Also any lens recommendations as a step up from the Nikkor 35-70 f3.3 I currently have on it?

Here are some pictures I took on a recent trip to Taiwan. I would like to learn to take better pictures!

I have a 1960s Kiev-4 camera I have been using for a year, and I try to think carefully about the pictures I take, but its all just me making stuff up as I go, I dont really know what I'm doing. My main problem right now is a lot of my pictures feel like "holiday snaps" if you know what I mean - a bit superficial in content.

Can you give me some pointers or direct me to some resources you think will help me improve?

All other crits/feedback welcome ofc

I found this photo and it looks like the boy is in a hypno trance

Is the Canon 850D a good first camera for a beginner? If yes, could you highlight its advantages and disadvantages if you have one or have used one in the past? If no, why, and can you suggest any good beginner-friendly cameras in the same price range?

Is the Tokina 11-16 still the best lens for DX? I got an IR-converted D300 and want to go w i d e

Gear containment thread I guess.

As title says, I've long been an entomology enthusiast, recently was handed down a decade old macro camera and been eagerly fucking around like a hobo in my local park.

I am no photographer, but would like to improve, I'll post my best, you'll judge,

Also pictures of bugs thread i guess.
