It's the ART 105 and 135 that is really tempting me. Sony doesn't have those, yet.

I will keep my GM zoom since it is known to focus faster. Yes, going forward, I may switch over to Sigma for primes.

I asked this question years ago when the lens landscape was not clear. Now that Sigma has presented itself with native FE mount. I would like some opinions. I mainly shoot portraits, indoors and ...

I think the link is a poorly written resource. Case closed, thank you everyone .

Thanks, I am glad to know I am not the only skeptic of this website.

I understand it being part of the exposure triangle. If you reduce your aperture iris then you slow down the shutter to maintain a consistent exposure. Based on the following link, a smaller ...

Why does a smaller aperture make the image darker, if meter is at 0? I always thought it controlled just depth of field and sharpness.

Updating the drivers didn't fix it. Enabling Windows Ink fixed it. I initially disabled it for some reason, which started causing the masking issue.

I am using CaptureOne 11.3 and I am experiencing a mask issue. I have a layer for skin editing. The layer basically masks the skin for tone uniformity. I am using the brush or eraser to add/remove ...

I have 2 strobes that I will be using for a portrait shoot. It will be indoors with faily good lighting. The model will be about 5 feet away from a typical brick wall. I will have one key light in ...

I got the BenQ model and I am satisfied with it. I just couldn't find enough professional reviews for the Asus.

Upptick, thank you for providing that perspective. What I omitted from my first post was the time, date, hours, theme etc. I hope that cleared up some ambiguity that forum members here may have ...

Plain english huh? Heres a link to a "plain english" definition http://www.dictionary.com/browse/collaborate Where in it does it say "work with me for free"?

I find your posts insulting, if not unconstructive. Why are you questioning my intelligence and stance? You are in the "Beginners" forum, chill out. A more objective response would be more ...

Of course I know what it means  I even goggled it. Apparently it has a different context in the photography world.

Got it, thank you.

I understand that everybody wants to be compensated, I would too. I just need confirmation that my understanding of the word "collaboration" is wrong so that I don't use it again.

I am thinking that was what I should have done. I didn't want to come off as desperate by bringing up money immediately.

So I have sent a few emails to models that I wanted to work with. I told them that I wanted to "collaborate" on a photoshoot. They all responded that they are not interested in collaborating but ...
