I don't own a smart phone as I mentioned in my OP.

The ability to fire OCF using a variety of modifiers to produce images that an iPhone in itself couldn't produce at higher resolutions that an iPhone cannot produce,

That's an opinion but I do not agree.  I do not consider replicating a look (iPhone or someone else's work) to be a waste of time.  Using a camera (other than an iPhone) does offer advantages.

Hello all, I am looking for advise on how to replicate the look of selfies taken by people using their mobile phones but using a larger full frame camera.  I commonly see two types of selfies;  ...

Camera's are built fairly rugged.  I wouldn't really worry about putting it down but rather where you put it down.  Somewhere someone can trip over, or some uneven surface (like a rock) I would ...

I read the other post you made after I had already replied. I visit a few different sub-forums but only one at a time. Muslin backdrop is a pain. If you really want a larger decent backdrop you can ...

I have very limited experience doing product photography but these are my thoughts. I'd use speedlights shooting them off camera.  Even something low powered would suit your purpose. You could ...

It's true the final image would be huge but a large part of the image wouldn't be visible as it would be cropped out.  Creating the image allows for the largest crop that will comfortably fit. Sadl ...

Probably missing 30 or so images.  The rest of the 120 were redundant.  I didn't know how much over lap was needed so over shot to be safe. That's a really good idea.  Will swap it over in ...

Hi, I'm attempting to stitch some images I took using the Brenizer Method.  I would prefer the stitched output to be in a RAW format but perhaps this is what is giving me issues (explained below). ...

Hi all, I commonly shoot with my R5 and review the images taken in real time by connecting it to my iPad.  I've now picked up a BR-E1 remote and was trying to connect both devices at the same ...

I didn't look too hard but I did find this and this . Never bought a tripod collar from Fotodiox but have purchased a softbox. Found the construction to be average and the support from them to be ...

What size  are the bodies? M43, FF? Do they have a battery grip etc? What about lenses. What size lens are you wanting to carry? Lastly, do you want the lenses to be mounted on the body so that you ...

+1 for the Peak Design.  It's quick release system comes in very handy when you want to quickly detach to mount the camera on a tripod.  If you never use a tripod (or remove the strap) then there ...

What exact;y do you mean by lens rings? Googleing  the term reveals step-iup/step-down rings.  Did you mean a tripod collar?  If so, there are third party tripod collars which are decent but I ...

Nothing wrong with it. I know people will argue and say that portrait lenses should be 85mm, 100mm or 135mm but that's rubbish. The term "portrait" is vague and even using a super wide angle lens ...

I recently made the switch to mirrorless and faced a similar question to you. I am a hobbyist, so I know you would have to consider aspects that were not relevant to me.  It's a very personal ...

I wasn't trying to be rude in my previous post so I hope it didn't come across that way. I have not been shooting for anywhere near as long as you and still have plenty to learn. I think balancing ...

If this is what you really want to do then ditch the light meter and learn how to read your histogram. Using a grey card could help with this. That's what light meters do. You fill in two parts of ...

Yeah, well I do want to start tethering lol, but I can't  justify buying a laptop just for this at this moment in time.
