Tripod desk recommendations? (Hobbyist photographer here) I’ve been debating getting one of those tripod desks that can be set on a dolly for studio shoots, my office and fieldwork. Because it’s something that I’d be using both for photography and for my everyday job I want to get something good, but I’ve seen way too many well-edited videos of junk that I’ve been nervous a…

Do you recommend K&F magnetic filters? I’m looking around for CPL and maybe ND filters for my Sigma 18-50 F2.8. I’m curious whether K&F magnetic filters (and their magnetic caps) are secure enough for me not to lose them during hiking, attached to my backpack strap with a backpack capture clip / QR system. Otherwise, maybe I’ll just go for regular screw in filters. Just for extra con…

What am I doing wrong? Part 2. What do you guys think about these? I recently started learning how to do property photography. I do more videography and product photography but I want to venture into more opportunities. I use a 10mm samyang lens with a Lumix GH4-DMC. I am already getting offers for the property just from these photos alone. I used a tripod (120cm height), took all these photos with 3 different …

Photobook publisher for the old Sony WPO annual? Does anyone know an online photobook printer that offers the same finish as the old Sony’s World Photography Awards yearly book – essentially a linen-covered spine and matt photo print. I’ve not bought one for a year or two, and i think theyve stopped doing that finish now and just print a straight image, however i always liked the premium feel …

Nikon D200 or Sony SLT A58 for a beginner, which should I get? I’d like to learn photography and practice, so I started to look at used DSLRs. I could get a Nikon D200 + Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC or a Sony SLT A58 + Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM II for roughly the same price, around 150/160€. I’m conflicted, I’d like the better build quality (magnesium vs plastic) and possibly ergonomics of the D200, plus …

How quick could a lens get this bad? Bought 35 f1.8 lens a month and a half ago. No mention of fungus. Found the lens really boring so did a trade in with mpb for some flash accessories. Today, shock as the price is lowered, and I get this picture. At first I thought it was a mixup but they’ve proved it is the lens I sent them. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen the lens with its…

Why is it impossible to find a SOFT camera strap? Maybe this is really random but I’m so shocked that what I’m looking for seems to not even exist on the market. I just want a camera strap that feels soft/luxurious to the touch, not hard and stiff. I’m not picky about the material either – it could range from neoprene to even leather that has a soft buttery finish. But the only options I’m seei…

Olympus PEN E-PL8 or Sony A6300? I’m looking at two used cameras. Some time back, I have used a Canon EOS 550D with some zoom and prime lenses. While I really like the results, I can’t seem to carry it with me most of the times. I’m making do with my iPhone since. So my question is, if I choose one of these, would they serve me at least for a coming few years? And is one of the…

What flash should i get for a night party in the desert? (Cannon R10, 18-150mm f3.5-6.3 lens) I am doing an event for a friend for a small amount of money where im filming a video of the crowd and stage during his DJ set, it will be outside during the night with a decent production so there will be some lights for the better or for the worse. I realized i need to get a flash but am on a budget and do not know which flash is good. I thoug…

I’m a professional photographer, and this august I’m going for a 15 days trip to Japan. I’d love to bring with me a camera, but don’t want to bring with me my Sony A9, nor the A7 IV. I’d like a camera with hassle-free weight and use, with a very good image quality and fast autofocus. I want to clarify that I would like to …

Can a noon sun damage the sensor? After seeing the many eclipse posts i am now kinda worried. I love taking pictures with the sun visible. Wether it be a sunset, a tree where the sun shines through, reflections or just landscape. I dont point my camera directly at the sun though. At most the sensor is exposed for 1min. Do i need to worry? Any tips or thoughts regarding this? My…

How do you advertise and get clients without sounding pushy? I’ve recently decided to do pet photography on the side while I try to develop my fine art catalogue (both are remarkably difficult tasks though, Jesus) and most people I share with just like the photos, comment “you’re so good! Would love some photos by you!” then proceed to ignore me when I hit them up. I don’t know how to really advertise be…
