Hello I bought like 8 years ago a Pentax K5IIs, along with the included 50-150 mm lens. I started getting into photography and then stop, I want to get back into it as I already have the camera, ,but would it be worth getting a Sony mirrorless fullframe (like a cheap a7 II) or just sticking to the Pentax.

I'm looking to get a professional camera. Well as close to "professional" as I can get. My budget is about $1000. A few things that I would use it for is Astrophotography, and mountain photography. It would also be used by my girlfriend for her Salon before and after photos. I'm looking for as high of a zoom as I can afford, with the ability to take long exposures and with being also able to get close ups of hair.

>>4448446 No, sony cameras are good. They're popular and outsell everyone eles.
It's just pixel peeping gearfags hate them for being too mainstream and girls buying them to vlog with so they make up problems and spend hours on reddit looking for pictures of broken cameras.

since it would just be redundant to reply to the rest of your photos, I want to know what three pieces of photography advice you wish you had when you started out. maybe some things you realised recently, or a while ago, that you always put into practice now and don’t know how you ever got by without them before.

>>4448431 >>4448431 Op here, thanks.
Idk if I’m good enough to give advice but id say post-processing makes a good picture great, but it will never polish a turd. I’ve taken pictures I thought would be awesome only to sit in LR for an hour adding masks and random colors the shadows only to realize the reason it doesn’t look good is because it isn’t good.
For what I like to take pictures of, having good light and being there is 99% of the equation.
And don’t be afraid to spam pictures. If you come across a good scene, capture as much data as you can, fundamentally that’s all a camera is.

>>4448468 >post-processing will never polish a turd this is how I felt after I spent an hour applying masks to a photo of my brother
it didn’t matter what I did, the photo was just trash to begin with because there was an under-exposed subject against an over-exposed background
>spam pics I usually don’t do this because I’ve convinced myself it’s “amateur” but fuggit,
I really should take advantage of all the digital space I have to store data. I am an amateur anyway. I don’t know where all my pride comes from…

>>4448306 I ignored this thread because it was started by doghair as a response to doghair being called a redditor. It's that simple.
I'm slowly building up enough good but nondoxable photos to start doing threads, but I don't intend to start until I can be guaranteed a /p/ where doghair won't comment on a single one or bring up his schizo shit.

It's the cheapest good medium format camera (good as in, you actually get the 16 bit color science advantage which you strangely dont on fuji - the gfx50 has darker exposures as well). More than one person has one.

>>4446779 Equivalence copers seethe when a photographer touches a camera
>*lowers shutter speed* >THATS NOT ALLOWED! NO! NO! >ok *turns on flash* >NOOOOOO ITS NOT THE SAME PICTURE! STOP! >YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE SAME SHITTY LOW QUALITY PICTURE AS MY CROP SENSOR ITS NOT FAIR REEEE Note: The GFX100S has a 4 stop advantage over micro four thirds and a 2 stop advantage over full frame. If it were closer to equivalence and was a 20-25mp medium format camera with gapless microlenses, it would still have a greater-than-equivalence-"rules" advantage due to the absurd quantum efficiency of those huge pixels mogging the lesser photosensitive area of crop sensors.

Quoted By:
>>4446783 Equivalence copers lack creativity. Everyone has to only photograph gray cards under international standard lighting, at equivalence. Only SNR charts matter to them. If the 45mp camera has less aliasing and finer detail at every output size, and the 100mp even better, thats about the way images look so it doesnt matter. if medium format has better color sensitivity they dont care. they only care about noise charts because they only use cameras to take indoor snapshits of their cat.

How do you go about getting a media pass for an event like a concert?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
How I Got Started >Begin with smaller local or DIY shows where you don’t need a photo pass,just show up and shoot. >Build a portfolio that proves you can capture compelling, well-composed shots. It doesn’t matter if the artist is well-known or not—if the photos look good, that’s what matters. >Start reaching out to smaller (and maybe mid-sized) bands on Instagram to offer coverage. Keep your messages short and respectful. >Stay consistent. As bands start sharing your work, others will notice. Eventually, you’ll have bands and artists reaching out to you. (maybe) >Grow your following and credibility. Once you’ve built some momentum, start emailing tour managers directly for bands you want to cover because DMs rarely get answered for bigger acts.

If its smaller/informal you just walk in. When I shot soccer for my community college i just walked on the pitch and took pics.
at uni i needed to be affiliated with the team to get on the pitch. i found the soccer coach's email on the staff directory and sent an email asking him to consider me along with some sample pics from my CC's soccer team ~every 4 days. i also called a few times (straight to voicemail). after 2 weeks of email and calling I got an email from a communication/media team person and they let me on.
basically find the right person to bug and keep bugging them. technically it was the wrong person, but they were close enough to forward my email so
that's my story atleast
