My unironic lightweight travel setup is 500cm 80mm f2.8 Sekonic L358 20x provia 100f And that’s it.

We'll be flying this year, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transport my 7D, 150-600, tripod, and a few other small lenses that doesn't involve buying a special case. I suppose I'll just end up doing everything carry-on, but I'm not sure how much of a hassle security is going to be.

Security don't care about camera gear. Though Chicago TSA did have to inspect my stuff manually because I guess the cluster of batteries I had stuck in there didn't scan well enough to identify on their TV.

Ah, that's cool. I'd only have a few batteries. I've also thought about checking my stuff and padding the hell out of it, but that just seems like asking for it.

When I took my 150-600 to Montana, my camera bag was my carry-on and the lens went into a second backpack with my laptop, kindle, etc as my personal item. Tripod was packed into my checked bag - tripods are sturdy so I wouldn't worry about that. With my new bag I mount my tripod on the side of the bag and had no issues getting through security or stowing it on two recent trips.

Pretty much how I do it. Amazon Basics camera bag for my main gear (and I’ve been lucky it’s never been weighed because I’ll pack that thing to the brim) and tripod wrapped up and checked in my main luggage.

I keep all my camera gear with me, not checked, tripod+head in the carry-on duffel bag, camera and lenses in backpack (“personal item”). 20% of the time the tripod bag gets a visual inspection, guess it looks like a pipe bomb or something.

What’s my best bet for basic post while travelling? I have an a7iii and an iPad. How do I get from camera to iPad? Can iPad deal with raws at all? I assume Lightroom for iPad is about as good as I can do? Tbh if I can crop and tweak exposure/contrast I’ll probably be happy enough.

I dump RAW files to my i-devices via USB and then pull them into the LR app.

Does anyone here use LR/Instagram publishing in Lightroom Classic? I’m having issues with it lately and I’m wondering if it’s just worth it to share another way

I’m having issues with it lately and I’m wondering if it’s just worth it to share another way FB/Instagram recently made a bunch of changes to the way their APIs handle posting from external apps. Whatever plugin you are using to push to Instagram is probably falling foul of that. My usual pipeline for Lr to Instagram is to publish to Flickr first, download the image from the Flickr app to my phone, then reupload it to Instagram from there. You can share directly from Flickr to Instagram, but it compresses the poo poo out of your photos.

The two stage import process is annoying, but once you get stuff into Lightroom it’s pretty full featured. If all you want to do is a basic crop and simple lighting the editing tools built into Photos may be good enough. tk fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Sep 25, 2018 |

You can wifi over jpgs, but not raws, with the Playmemories Mobile app. If you are shooting in raw (at least on my a7), the jpg you will receive from the camera is 1616x1080 — I assume that's the preview jpg the camera creates on its own — I have the app set to collect the original-size jpg. I assume if you shot in raw+jpg or something it would shoot over the full-size image. It's also slightly inconvenient, because ios doesn't have a nice way to change wifi networks, and you need to connect to the camera's wifi every time you want to copy something over. I suppose that's less of an issue if you just send over a day's worth of shots in one go. But yeah, if you want raws you'll need to get an adapter so the ipad can see your sd card or the camera itself.

If you have something like the ravpower FileHub (which I don't recommend at this point, its copy speed is abysmal due to usb 2 speeds) you can long press on a raw file and import it into LR on your phone. It's actually a pretty slick mobile workflow.

If I hook it up directly to my iphone it tells me that there's not enough power to operate the device. I think my ipad mini does the same thing. Maybe it has something to do with the reader handling multiple card formats? I dunno.

Maybe yours draws power for some reason? I mean mine does too since it has an activity light on it...I wonder what the difference is.

Been trying to decide what film I want to bring on my upcoming trip and I decided on Cinestill 800T. I plan to shoot it during the day and at night. Since it’s Tungsten balanced there’s going to be a blue cast in photos taken under daylight conditions. Cinestill recommends using a warming filter but is this something I can fix entirely in post with no filter required?

So, newbie question. Depth of field is a function of focal distance, aperture and subject distance. Given that cameras with larger sensors have a larger focal distance for the same field of view, does it follow that you can get a shallower DoF on a full-frame camera than an APS-C of M43 camera at the same distance from subject and field of view?

WhatEvil posted:So, newbie question. Yes, it's because you are either using a longer lens or standing closer to your subject to get that same field of view with a larger sensor. If everything is equal - aperture, focal length, distance to subject - the depth of field will be the same no matter how big or small your sensor is. You'll just have a bigger or smaller field of view.

The suggestion for winter shooting, besides keeping the camera above the recommended manufacturer's limits  is to let the camera transition slower from cold to warm conditions by keeping it in the bag for about an hour. Less than ideal, but a little forethought should save any major inconvenience.

um excuse me posted:The suggestion for winter shooting, besides keeping the camera above the recommended manufacturer's limits You can make the transition faster by keeping the camera in a thinner bag when you make the change in temps. The key thing is to let the condensation form on the bag, not the camera/lens - so a ziploc bag works just as well.

Quick film question: Dusted off a hand-me-down Yashica Electro 35 today and I plan on trying it out. How do I go about deciding which film to use? Having shot digital for just about a year now I’ve found that I tend to enjoy and edit for bold colors. Can I specifically find that in a film?
