I'm new to this. I like the lighting in this photo, but I have no idea how to post process this to take it from mediocre to great. Any input is greatly appreciated, even if you just want to hop in the thread and call me a fag.

I’m going to go pick up my film scans today from the camera store.
Is there a better feeling in photography?

Hello, nOOB here, new to this board, looking for an /out/door camera recommendation for taking better pictures than my iphone 15 pro can.

I've been told to get a canon sx70, which looks ok, but kinda bulky. I do a lot of photography on windy days on steep cliff edges where I do not want to fall or lug something heavy because I have to scramble on all fours up and down a steep slope to access an overlook.

What would you recommend for best picture quality (mostly pictures, sometimes videos, but not as often). I do not want a DSLR or something huge and bulky, and does mirrorless mean there's no viewfinder and you have to compose photos on the screen? I mean I guess that's what you do with iphone, but wouldn't a viewfinder be an upgrade?

I used digital cameras like as a kid, so I've had a Nikon Coolpix before. I mostly take photos of landscapes, so I want some zoom, but I don't take many photos of animals, mostly river and cliffs and forests, and I want something that can handle both low lighting and bright sun better than my phone can. That's a big issue with the phone.

You're not using a bag made by the elite class are you?

>GFX100II + GF55

Just got paid today & looking to buy a new camera. Quick, do I buy a open-box/low shutter D850 or a Canon R5 for around mid-$2k?

To add some context, my father just bought 2 RF lenses (28-70 F2 chode & 85 mm 1.2) to pair with his new R5 MKII alongside his very old 5D MK II lenses (70-200 L I & 17-35MM 2.8 I think and 24-75 L or something).

I don't want to get his hand me down 5d II and would rather purchase either my own Nikon D850 open box with some cheap lenses or a hannukah B&H special R5 for $2699 + the battery grip pack ($349 free).
I would like to get the Nikon D850 but I dont have the funds to buy newer Nikon lenses, also with the Canon I can continue using my fathers really sharp and really amazing lenses albeit not what I am necessarily going to use to shoot.

So /p/ if you had $2k lying around and were in my position, would you get the D850 or an R5?

My current setup includes the Fuji X100V as my daily everywhere camera as well as a GFX50SII with several GF lenses. As much as I enjoy the X100V it always feels like a compromise regarding image quality, sometimes I miss that extra detail and regret not bringing my GFX. Now also having a son, I can't afford to bring my camera bag all times because diapers and baby food is the priority now when going out. This leads me to the thought of selling it all and getting a Leica Q3. The one with 28mm which is my favorite focal length. That way I never have to worry about what to bring and just sling it around and be done with it. Great full frame quality, probably not any worse then the GFX sensor. I know it's heavier than the X100V but still light enough to bring it always. I know times are coming when I miss changing lenses but if I look at the raw files.. 95% of my photos are in the range of 28-40mm.

Do you think that's a good idea or should I keep my Fuji system? If you own a Q I would appreciate any feedback

We are so back Nikon bros.

Is my photo shit? if so lets see some train photography.

What do anons prefer? The swabs or the blower? I keep seeing varying shit on forums about blowers introducing more dust, but manufacturers seem to always recommend the blower and tilting the camera upside down.

It makes more sense to me to avoid physical contact with the sensor and the blower seems safest.
