    AI can not and Will Not Replace Photographers And Artists.

    Except not everyone has a picture perfect wedding. Many people have boring mundane weddings in subpar venues because they can't afford better. Just look at how fake instagram is. Fakeness is a trend that is already trending and will only continue to grow. So I could see people very easily buying...

    What price trend on used bodies and lenses?

    If anything prices have gone up on everything. The used market is really trying to milk inflation. I could sell everything I have for at least 25% more than what I paid for it, with the prices I'm seeing. I think it's all atrocious though. Used gear prices are not even close to what they should...

    AI can not and Will Not Replace Photographers And Artists.

    AI will replace photographers. We can even use existing photo's of people to capture their likeness and put them in any situation. We can fake wedding photo's that never happened. We can fake professional portraits. We can fake street photography. We can fake macro photography. We can fake film...

    The first Canon Digital FF

    No one should rely on out of camera JPEG's for older Canon's. Editing has just come so far since then, and so has in-camera processing. One could easily make that 1D photo look just as good as the other.

    Anyone can break this process down?

    Given the aspect ratio, I'd say it's possible they also tilted the camera for exposures, and then cropped it a bit between the different composites, to maximize resolution and effect perspective. So for example, they'd shoot the sunset above the horizon first (which was also clearly a long...

    Can I adapt 'vintage manual' lenses onto my 5D Classic?

    You can use vintage lenses, it's just that it's going to be completely manual with no visual aids whatsoever. It shouldn't be too difficult to manually focus though. But do know that the default focus screen on the 5D is rated more for f/4 and above. It can work with 1.8-2.8 lenses, but the...

    How to edit like the pro's?

    Probably about 4 years now, but not consistently, just on and off. I have been trying to develop a stricter work flow. Recently I've moved to using a neutral profile with no curve built in at all, and the base curved added after. I think that's where I'm headed. This drastically effects the...

    Focal length, DOF, composition and greatness.

    We can't always control the environment. And maybe that's the problem, virtually all professionals do staged photography, and that looks better in comparison to most non staged photography. So it's really about perspective. You don't know how much or how little work a person actually put into...

    5D mark IVs now going cheap grey market 1900 or less. For a solid workhor

    It's a great camera, but I think 1900 is still overpriced. It's a camera that came out more than 6 years ago. That's ancient in the technology world. The real problem isn't the performance, it's the expected longevity. I don't buy a camera for today, I buy one for tomorrow and several years down...

    How to edit like the pro's?

    I know this is a very expansive subject, so I don't expect it to be a step by step tutorial (nor suggestions to watch a video tutorial, because I've seen plenty), I just feel like I'm missing maybe some fundamental principles/practices/understandings here and there, to the point where I'm not...

    Why are photographers averse to sharing RAW images? (From a new entry into the professional space)

    All photographs are automatically considered copyrighted at the moment they are taken. You don't have to register for a copyright when it's photography. The argument that it's proof you are the original owner is very strong. In fact, this is done in disputes with 3D modelling, where someone...

    What photo printer do you use most these days?

    I wish they made the Selphy in 8x10. Although I can see why they don't, it would pretty much double the cost of the paper/ink, but like $60 for a 100 8x10's wouldn't be terrible. It'd also be nice if they at least had a matte option for the 4x6's. I've been eyeing one for a long time, but I...

    Train enthusiasts and photos - tips/thoughts?

    I think the edits are pretty good, are you using premade or custom presets?

    How would you frame this photo?

    I think the original is fine. If anything the crops issued by others are far too tight and crowded. I think this works better as a black and white photo due to the overall simplistic composition of the scene.

    My 6D frustration...high contrast scenes...

    A lot of people think they need to use DPP to get those Canon colors....but trust me, Canon colors aren't as great as they once were. No ones going to really look at an image and think "Wow look at those Canon colors!". You'll be far better off with a color accurate profile, as even the Canon...
