Hello friends,

Dışarı çıkmamızı ve elini almanızda tutmamızı mı istiyorsun? Çoğumuz kendi kararlarımızı dışarı çıkıp malzeme satın alırken yapıyor. Neden yapamıyorsun

Yeni bir araç satın aldığınızda neler yaşadığınızı tahmin edemiyorum.

This method is called benchmark Don! To take advantage of experiences, in other words. With the experience of our parents, it's like trying to get them to make a mistake...

You could have been more helpful...
 
Do you want us to also go out and hold your hand when you buy it. Most of us make our own decisions when we go out and buy stuff. Why can't you.

I can't imagine what you go through when you buy a new vehicle.-

Yes, Don could have been more helpful, but your question displays a lack of knowledge, that makes it very difficult to help you in a meaningful way, and you definitely misunderstood the meaning of "benchmarking".

Becoming a professional photographer takes a lot of practice, and while practising, you learn what to expect from your tools, so you don't have to ask a question like the one in the OP. Wedding photographers use all kinds of equipment from medium format to micro 4/3, and soon we'll see recommendations of 1" sensor cameras.

What are your thoughts on lighting?

Do you intend to set up a studio?

Have you ever photographed a wedding - or been an assistant to another wedding photographer?

Your local culture may be quite different from the experiences of the so called pros here, so you'll need to take that into account.

We can get in touch with the missing information for help. I have not taken birth and wedding photos before. I'm taking photography trainings and I want to progress in the field of wedding photography with birth. After enough experience (1-2 years) I can start a studio.

Buradaki çizgiler arasında okumak: ne satın alacağınızı bilmiyorsanız sanırım fotoğraf konusunda deneyimli biri değilsiniz. Durum buysa, profesyonelliğe gitmek için bir kameraya 3 bin dolar düşürmek birazcık uzun bir atış gibi görünüyor.

Orijinal yazınızı okumaktan kesinlikle el ele almayacağım!

Bir fotoğraf makinesi bir profesyonel değildir. Bir şut gözü, daha ziyade kiti.
Hello,

I am not a professional in photography, but I do take trainings. I want to go on wedding photography with birth. I can open a studio (1-2 years) after having gained enough experience.

For this reason, with your budget of 2000-3000 USD, your camera + lens recommendation is very important and valuable to me.

Eğer düğün atışını yapıyorsanız, 2 kart yuvalı bir kamera istiyorsanız ve düğünde de 2 ceset isteyebilirsiniz.

Bu alanda lensler çok önemlidir, bu nedenle vücudunuzla iyi lensler alın.
Thank you very much, but I need more detailed information. Like camera and lens proposal for birth and wedding photography. Camera + lens for max. budget 2000-3000 USD
Is anyone else seeing a non English language in quotes?

Marie.... thank you. For a while I thought there was something wrong with my browser settings!

And yes... the language seems to be Turkish.

OK.... having read all your replies, I think I have a better understanding of your question.

You are a beginner who hopes to eventually open a studio specializing in wedding photography and newborn child photography. And you want to spend $3,000 on a suitable camera and lens.

First of all, these are two different types of photography.... event and portraiture. But they can both be accomplished by using the same sort of gear. Weddings are generally indoor events so lighting can be tricky, and portraits are generally taken in studios with more controlled lighting, so you will probably need fast lenses for the former, and a sizable investment in lighting for the later.

Professional photographers sometimes spend as much on lighting equipment as they do for their cameras.

I would not recommend spending so much for a business plan that may or may not happen. You might be better served by buying cheaper used gear, then upgrading two years from now if everything works out as you planned.

Consider what you will need, and why you will need it.

People who pay for these things will expect very high quality work. So I would recommend a full frame camera and some decent lenses. Most professionals use Nikon or Canon (although there are lots of others who don't) simply because they offer so many options and have much more professional support for their customers. Full frame Sony FE is a good option if you want to go mirrorless, but their lenses can be brutally expensive,

You will probably need something in the Canon 5D or Nikon D7xx class and probably two good zoom lenses (24-70mm and 70-200mm) and a good portrait prime (85mm).

But before you spend one cent consider the fact that you are putting the cart before the horse. That "training" thing is a whole lot more important than the gear you use. And then there is "skill" to consider too. And also "talent."

If you don't do those things first you could be wasting your money on any gear you buy.

Quite bluntly, you are putting the cart before the horse and we are all wasting our time responding to you as you clearly have absolutely no knowledge about photography and do not care about the answers from people who are more knowledgeable than you are. You have forgotten or nnever learned a basic rule of photography - a good photographer can get good pictures from any camera including an inexpensive one; a bad or untrained photographer can not get good photographs from any camera even if it is an expensive one.

My suggestion is that you buy a camera (any camera) in the $500 range and learn to use it and stop bothering us with dumb questions. When or if you figure out how to use it and get good pictures with it, then come back to us and ask some intelligent questions.

Quite frankly, this thread is getting ridiculous.

The OP did say: "I'm taking photography trainings"

My recommendation for his training would be to consider used equipment.

KEH has good prices not sure what shipping would be to the OPs location.

Canon EOS 40D $218 EX condition

https://www.keh.com/shop/canon-eos-40d-10-1-megapixel-digital-slr-camera-body-only.html

Canon 85mm F/1.8 $349 LN- condition $299 EX condition

https://www.keh.com/shop/canon-ef-85mm-f-1-8-usm-standard-medium-telephoto-lens-119097.html

Canon 50mm F/1.8 II EF Mount $94 EX condition

https://www.keh.com/shop/canon-ef-50mm-f-1-8-ii-standard-medium-telephoto-lens.html

Hopefully the OP can find good prices locally on used equipment.

What is "birth photography"?
 
Hello friends,

Just marry the girl. The baby isn't going to wait.

:D
 
Wish: Canon 5D Mark IV + EF 16-34mm III + EF 70-200mm II + EF 24-70mm II + EF 100mm Macro + 2 x 600 EX-RT + spare batteries.

Since you are on a budget: Canon 5D Mark II + 35mm f/2 macro + 50mm f1.4 + 85mm f1.8 + 135mm f/2 + 2 x Yongnuo EX-RT + spare Wasabi batteries.

Hi,

I think for the birth photos you would need a camera with a small lens.

It would be easier to swallow when the woman giving birth shoves it down your throat.

I can not think of any woman I know that would want pictures of them during that time.

That is the advice my wife gave me when I wanted to video our kids being born.

I almost passed out when my first child was being delivered so I was wimp anyway.
