not a photographer i hate photographing people because they never stay still i can count the times i go outside in a single year (outside of my 8-13) on my hands i have enough income to overspend on starting gear for every hobby i get into and end up being lower than below average at and inevitably put on hold (read: abandon without selling anything) so this time i spent 1000€ on this including telephoto and macro lens since i mainly want to do macro i bought it specifically so that i wouldn't be tempted to upgrade later on and actually make a dent in my finances
how long are you giving me before i permanently set everything up on a shelf?
>stop watching gear reviews >stop watching photography youtube >stop visiting photography forums >go out and just take photos >suddenly the joy and love of photography is injected back in my life It's so simple, no one ever mentioned this though
keep reading about famous exhibitions like New Topographics, but how am I supposed to view them when there's no archive and they were touring 20 years before I was born?
Yo i want to get a digital camera with film grain, the same film grain as movies like downtown 81 or premenant vacation. also don't want to be too big cuz i want to walk around with it. can some1 name a camera that sounds like that. film is expensive and i dont want to edit it after.
I've been looking to get a fast telephoto (Nikon) without breaking the bank and as everyone slowly moves to the new mirrorless platforms the prices for DSLR lenses are 30% of their original
I would assume there wouldn't be too much of a deterioration in optical quality from the use of an FTZ adapter as it's really just a spacer to match the original DSLR focus plane
I would also likely have a teleconverter for more reach as needed in front of the FTZ which I think shouldn't pose any more drawbacks than with the original DSLR
my main question is if there's any major advantages to getting a native mirrorless knowing it's going to cost 3x more and lose half it's value as soon as it's bought
there's currently a local seller listing the 300mm f/2.8G VR II for $2,000 USD (currently $5,500 USD new) which could probably be knocked down a bit further
I’m finna do before and after fights portraits of fighters at some ufc type event. Picrel is my light gear. I was thinking of putting each lamp on one side and give it hard lighting (a bit like the portraits shot by Martin Schöller) Any tips, recs or suggestions?
