For product photography where you can have the camera on a tripod and use long exposure times, that might be a solution. For portraits, to keep exposure time comfortably low, you'll need more ...

When I use my speedlights in a studio setting, I have no need for TTL, but when I use them for event shooting, I use TTL all the time. TTL is useful when the flash-to-subject distance is different ...

Scott Kelby has some really bad jokes and a very instrumental approach, and he is down with the lingo. I suggest the Box set - I have number 1 to 4. They're easily read and gives you some pretty ...

Here's what Thom Hogan writes about choosing a tripod. Everybody wants a tripod which is stable, light and cheap. Unfortunately you can have only two of those at a time. Light and cheap won't be ...

Unless you have a very specific need the FZ1000 can't accomplish, I think you'll be hard pressed to see a difference worth the expense. All cameras are compromises. There are very few things the ...

That is exactly where a picture of the sun will hit as the light passes under the mirror. I had to change the shutter curtain of my Canon FTb for the same reason more than fourty years ago. It ...

It's impossible to say what is the best modifier or what you should choose first. They are different and give different results. I would begin with a cheap reflective silver umbrella and take it ...

A 12" octabox is too small for anything than a tight headshot. Read The Strobist's 101 on lighting to learn what can be done with cheap speedlights. Portrait photography is about connecting with ...

You caught a good expression. It gives the impression of a girl in her finery at the photographers; a little apprehensive and wanting to please. I think white balance and colours are off. If it's a ...

It's not easy. You learn as you go. I've made the experience, that often you get the best expressions in the beginning of the session while you're adjusting the lights and the camera. That's the ...

Could it be false light entering through the viewfinder? Could it be a hole in the shutter curtain.

It is cheaper because the sensor is much smaller - 6.17 x 4.55 mm vs. 13.2 x 8.8 mm or more than four times difference.

One of the reasons you have only had one reply might be the sunglasses. When a person's eyes are hidden, it's difficult to connect to the picture.

At f/16, you will experience diffraction blur. That could be a reason for the picture not being sharp. The clipped flower is probably caused by the high ISO. 1" sensors are surprisingly good, but ...

It's considered bad taste and irrelevant in these forums to comment negatively on the model. About the pictures, Sabrina and jkjond has more or less written what needs to be said, the exception ...

Warning: Your taste or preference could easily be mistaken for trolling. I believe any picture from a smartphone camera could be tweeked in some post processing program to look as bad as these, ...

You're the pro, not I, so this is what I've learnt from your pictures: (1) Colours must be garish. (2) Never mind white balance in mixed lights.

If you're the DIY type, you might want to duplicate my solution.

I would get an interchangeable lens camera and a lens with an EFL of around 16 mm. A Canon entry level APS-C camera with an UWA zoom like 10-18 mm would probably be a good choice, but not the only ...

At first I thought that would be the perfect motivation for Joe to use PP: people asking what camera he uses, but on second thought, he doesn't need people to ask. He'll tell them whether they ...
