What's a man got to do to optimise prime lenses here? I want to take reasonably good photos without breaking the bank but I feel like I'm getting bogged down by the maths. Will I always be held back by this unexceptional camera or is it perfectly capable if you're not a retard?

Why do some old photos have a certain "look" to them that modern photos don't?

With the AI boom, it doesn't matter if your camera is good or bad, you can just ask the AI to transform your flat iphone photo into something much better.

With a Light Field Array camera, you can take photos that AI can't replicate.

People will need new screens too, screens with 3d depth.

why is this composition so funny

Could anyone give me a noob intro to editing and color grading photos?

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I was taking photographs of some demonic ritual while vacationing in Varanasi, India, when suddenly the shutter of my Sony A7 IV camera snapped. The kilometrage on that camera was around 23k photos at the time, but I wouldn't rule out demonic interference as the actual cause.
Anyway I couldn't take anymore photos that night and almost had a panic attack (tfw you get stuck in India and can't even take photographs) so I went back to my hotel to try and fix it, but nothing seemed to work so I ripped it out (picrel) and changed the settings to electronic shutter.
What's the difference between a mechanical and an electronic shutter when it comes to quality? Is there a difference only when what you're shooting is moving very fast? Also how much does it cost to replace the shutter plus the work? I'm considering just buying the A7R IV and keeping the current one as reserve.
