I don't think I easily fit into any one stereotype:  Older (yes, past "middle age"), yup, grey hair, but slender, a female who loves shooting a variety of subjects but mostly macro (abstracts and ...

While perhaps some training in the basics -- say a class in PHT 101 and 102 in high school or college or as an adult taking courses in a nearby community college or through a local school system's ...

Another advantage of the RX10 IV is that it DOES have a fixed lens, and in some situations this is invaluable, such as going to an area which is unusually dusty or sandy and where one really does ...

"Art" is in both the eyes of the creator and the eyes of the viewer -- and while the creator may be very happy with his or her effort, the viewer may look at it and quickly dismiss it because for ...

My fisheye lens is a prime.   My 90mm macro lens is a prime, too.  My 12-24mm zoom lens is, yes, a zoom.   So is my 100-400mm lens. Of the lenses I have just mentioned, only the 90mm macro and the ...

I agree that taking photos should be fun, and it is for me.....however, since my images are actually rather mediocre I don't feel that they are worth sharing. Aside from that, I think that family ...

I am not creative, and I am certainly no artist, and as time has gone on it seems to me that digital photography has become more the realm of those who know how to use image editing software to ...

For years I was a "Nikon Girl."   When I went mirrorless, though, I made the switch to Sony and now the household is all-Sony.   So, yep, I'm Sony all the way.....

I have the same issue in holding my 200-600mm steady, so for me the solution has been a Wimberley WH 200 Gimbal on my Gitzo tripod and it does what I need very nicely.

Sure, taking photos IS fun, and I love to do it -- but I don't try to rush the holiday season by jumping the gun with holiday-themed images even before Thanksgiving, which in the US is still a few ...

Why would anyone ever take chances with trying to charge a camera/battery with the battery still in the camera and everything plugged into a computer? That's just asking for trouble. Buy a ...

Does Sigma make cameras?  It seems to me really rather odd to buy a Sony camera body and then instead of using Sony lenses, buying and using all Sigma lenses (third-party, not specifically ...

For years I shot with Nikon SLRs and DSLRs.....  A friend introduced me to mirrorless by showing me his NEX-7 and I was immediately intrigued, and bought one of my own with three lenses.   I found ...

I wouldn't waste a minute of my time with those two.  Good grief!  They're out to make a fast buck or two or three with their so-called "influencing" and "reviewing" videos. Take whatever they say ...

Thank you! Well, while I consider myself an "enthusiast," and have been shooting for a number of years, I still don't think of myself as an "advanced photographer." I don't usually post my images ...

When I traded in all my Nikon gear in order to buy a Sony A7R IV I was starting fresh with lenses.....  At the top of my list were the two macro lenses Sony offers -- I love macro and the 90mm is ...

Back in 2019 I started thinking about going mirrorless and setting aside my DSLR..... A lot was happening right around that time so I watched and waited, watched and waited some more. For me the ...

I had gone through a period of not shooting much of anything, and then an occasion came up where I needed a long lens and yet easy portability, too. I discovered the RX10 IV and bought it, used it ...

This has been an interesting and informative discussion! I also have the RX10 IV and since I rarely use flash, I'd actually forgotten that the camera has an inbuilt one! There have been times when ...

In 2019 I made the switch from Nikon to Sony, and the latter is my current gear today. I'm pretty well hooked on the Sony system, having just recently bought the flagship A1 and a couple more new ...
