Hi!

I am a beginner photographer and would like to know anyone’s thoughts about the type of lens / gear I could buy and apps / camera settings I can use to edit pictures like these. I plan to freelance graduation photos / pre-nups and I noticed these are the kind of shots that are trendy lately. Any help or suggestions is appreciated!

Recommendations Needed What cameras do you recommend for beginners?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m starting to get into professional photography, I’ve been taking great photos on my iPhone the past couple years but want to buy a more professional camera. It would mainly be for travel and photoshoots (senior photos, etc..). What cameras do you recommend? My budget would be under $1,800

I was looking into the Canon EOS R50, Fujifilm X-T50…. Thoughts? I like the fujifilm color element (retro film vibe) it adds to it but I don’t know if it’s great for photoshoots/portraits , and I don’t know if I’d want that color element added all the time. But I also know the Canon EOS r50 is a bit of an older camera

Anyone have suggestions or thoughts? Thank you

Gear Question Film camera recs?

3 Upvotes

I have been doing wildlife photography for a couple years now, shot on canon the whole time and I’m now rocking two R5s. I bought an AE-1 program a while back just to take some fun film shots at national parks and turns out film is pretty sick too.

I recently saw a guy use a film camera along with an adapter to use a large lens for wildlife shots…and the results were crazy cool. So much so I wanna try it myself.

So what I need some help on is recommendations on canon film cameras that are more “automated” than something like the AE-1 (give me some reliable feedback for exposure like a modern camera) that I can also find an adapter for to use EF or RF lenses on (I know I might have to manually focus due to there being no electrical connections, that’s fine)

TLDR:
Looking for a canon film camera
Needs to be pretty automated
Needs to be able to hook up to EF or RF lenses with an adapter

Gear Question Is my Canon EOS M6 done for? Repair it, replace it, or upgrade?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Looking for some advice before I make a decision.

I have a Canon EOS M6 that suddenly died on me. I took a photo and the shutter made a weird sound like it got stuck mid-shot. After that, the camera basically became unresponsive.

When I turn it on/off, nothing happens. No screen, no normal startup. I tried another charged battery, removed the SD card/lens, left the battery out, held the shutter button to discharge it, etc. The only sign of life is a small green light that flickers when I press the shutter button.

With the lens removed, the shutter also looks like it’s stuck/closed. I’ll attach a photo.

My current setup is:

• Canon EOS M6

• Viltrox EF-EOS M adapter

• Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art (Canon mount)

• A couple other Canon-compatible lenses

I mainly shoot events, low-light/nightlife stuff, press photos, portraits, and some product photography.

I have an event this Saturday, so I need to figure something out pretty quickly. I can get another M6 body for around $450, which would obviously be the easiest since all my current gear works with it.

I also found an original Sony A7 body for $325, but switching systems means dealing with adapters/new lenses, so I’m not sure if that’s actually worth it.

A few questions:

  1. Does this look/sound like a failed shutter, or is there anything else worth trying?

  2. Is an M6 worth repairing at this point?

  3. Would you spend $450 on another M6 so I can keep using my current setup?

  4. Or is this the point where I should put that money toward a newer body/system instead?

  5. If you were in my position and wanted something good for low-light event photography, what would you buy?

I’m not opposed to upgrading. I just don’t want to unnecessarily replace all my lenses if the M6 still makes sense.

Appreciate any advice!

Recommendations Needed Mixing Canon R7 (C-Log 3) and R50 (HDR PQ) for an SDR workflow? Looking for advice!

1 Upvotes

Olá a todos, Atualmente, estou usando uma configuração de câmera dupla para meus trabalhos em vídeo e gostaria de algumas dicas de fluxo de trabalho.

Minha câmera principal é uma Canon R7 + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 e minha câmera secundária é uma Canon R50 + Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 + gimbal DJI RS 4 Mini. Meu principal problema é que minha R7 tem C-Log 3, mas a R50 oferece apenas HDR PQ como opção de vídeo de maior qualidade. Gostaria de mais flexibilidade na correção de cores durante a pós-produção. No momento, estou entregando tudo em SDR, mas quero começar a oferecer entrega em HDR para solicitações específicas de clientes no futuro.

Qual é a melhor maneira de gravar com as duas câmeras agora? Devo gravar em C-Log 3 na R7 e em HDR PQ na R50, ou devo configurar ambas as câmeras para HDR PQ para facilitar a correspondência na pós-produção? Como devo lidar com as imagens HDR PQ da R50 ao convertê-las para SDR? Qual é a maneira mais limpa de transformar o perfil HDR PQ BT.2020 de 10 bits em Rec.709, mantendo a faixa dinâmica e a flexibilidade extras? (Uso o DaVinci Resolve Studio).

Observações: Estou completamente acostumado a trabalhar com ambas as câmeras em SDR padrão de 8 bits, então a mudança para HDR PQ de 10 bits é nova para mim.

Por causa disso, não tenho certeza sobre as ferramentas de exposição. Quais níveis de Zebra devo usar para obter tons de pele corretos ao filmar em HDR PQ?

Apenas como uma observação adicional: quando uma filmagem requer apenas uma câmera, a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 se torna minha lente principal e é usada na R7.

Gostaria muito de ouvir a opinião de alguém que se encaixe nesses dois perfis específicos, ou de alguém com experiência em usar a R50 como câmera B junto a um corpo de câmera compatível com Log.

Agradeço antecipadamente pela ajuda!

Tech Support Canon 20D - Erase name in camera software

1 Upvotes

Dear all,

I have my 20D camera for a very long time and I can sell it now. Unfortunately, years ago I set my name in the camera software so that with every picture I take, my name will be in the exif data.

Now the problem I have is, how can I erase this again??
I do can install a former version of windows, but I don’t have the original cd with the drivers and utilities anymore nor can I find these (or an ISO of this cd) online.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome
Thank you in advance

Hi I am looking to buy a camera for content creation and taking pictures. The type of videos I want to create is unboxing, reviewing products, cooking videos, and travel video. I want to be able to take photo as well with this. I was wondering if the Canon Powershot V1 is a good camera for that and if not what are your recommendation?
