Grandpa got me this gear would it help with what I plan to shoot? I have the Canon camera rebel t7 that my grandpa got me and it came with these that he bought I’m assuming. I’m not sure how they work, or what they’re good for. I’m trying to get into photography and find my own style, though I don’t need the basics at all. I’m reading up on them though. I mostly plan to shoot forests, animals, and cities. I li…

NCAA gear/merch hauls I have noticed the surge in the popularity of college athletes posting about what their school gives them regarding gear and merch. I want to get some opinions on this social media trend and if it can convince a recruit to look at other schools and how it is such a marketing tool.

Dirt Gear Or Adventure Gear: Which Is Right For Your Ride? Back in August, I took a 90-odd mile mixed-surface motorcycle trip with a friend. Since we were both riding near-identical BMW F800GSs, it seemed like a fun chance to do some comparisons — hard luggage or soft, cell phone or GPS, and perhaps most importantly: Should you do your mixed-surface ride in fancy ADV gear or… Read more…

Selling old DSLR gear is horrible nowadays The price for used DSLR and lenses are deeply declining. And only newbies (noobies) will only interest in them and I feel like taking advantage of them when selling the dead system. Other people heavily haggling at DSLR sale posts.

Concert Gear Question

Concert Gear Question So I know full frame is better for concert/ sports. And I know you need to use lenses with low f-stops, alot of research I’ve done said F2.8 is used more often than the 1.4 found on prime lenses when out and actually shooting. My question is, if I “cheap out” and get a cheaper FF camera like the Nikon Z5 or a Sony a7ii am I sacrificing a lot? Ca…

Most gear reviews feel more like ads these days. Is there a good site where amateurs post their photos and tag them with the gear so people can easily make their own comparison? I’m trying to decide on an 85 vs 135 prime to get some fall subject shots and it’d be nice if there was a Flickr type site where you can basically search #sony a7iv #135 F1.8 and then run similar searches for other lenses to make ones own comparison. Bonus points for non gear terms like #bokeh or #nature etc. to really highlight their use cases….
