So I sporadically played with film for years, never needed to scan or organize anything on a computer, so I'm not used to any particular program. Now I have a DSLR, should I give up my soul and subscribe to Lightroom or is there a recommendation for people who aren't already tainted?

I don't really think I've ever known anyone with more than a point and shoot at any time in my life

My kid is in a language immersion program and the class has its own separate yearbook. I've tentatively volunteered to do yearbook pictures of all the students on the basis that the school yearbook pictures were awful and I couldn't do much worse. Besides camera, lens, tripod, are there any other bare essentials I need? I was thinking of doing it outdoors against a blank wall with natural light

Stop buying off eBay and buy from someplace like keh, or be ready to deal with issues, ime. I've only bought one used camera from a shop and I got very lucky but in general I think small business owners are less trustworthy than the average eBay seller

Does your speed light have a pre flash?

Iirc, the starbursts are caused by diffraction from stopping down the lens. So I'd guess opening up the aperture would reduce them. They're cool though

Godzilla07 posted:Olympus E-M1 Mk2 would be my crop sensor pick if you had to go mirrorless on a budget because the glass is cheaper, there's no hipster tax like there is with Fuji, and the ergonomics aren't a nightmare like with the Sony APS-C bodies. Got my kid an Olympus EM-5 II and it's a real nice cheap camera other than the fact that I don't think I will ever be able to use an EVF

Mega Comrade posted:Lol I'm the opposite, portrait photography I find completely uninteresting. I can appreciate when it's done well but I have no desire to do it or seek out the work of others doing it. Same except I can't really appreciate it when it's (supposedly) done well. It's usually "yep, that's an attractive person that you took a picture of"

I'm gonna go the opposite direction and say that forcing yourself to use one lens is great for a photographer who has the basics and is looking to hone their craft. But when you're in Japan for the first time, trying to take a photo of the cool mountain in the distance, and all you have is a wide angle lens, you're going to either take a disappointing picture or end up pulling out your phone. My take is a decent micro four thirds body and something like the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO that will cover a 24-200 full frame equivalent

Bottom Liner posted:The cameras with a fixed ~40mm are a lot more reasonable than the wider ones IMO. I like that Ricoh does both for the GR line. If someone did a dedicated 50 fixed pocket cam I'd be tempted. General Photography Questions 4 - Instead of the X100VI consider the Olympus 35SP

Bottom Liner posted:On a related note, how do the speedbooster adapters work? I get how they reduce the magnification, but how do they increase the light intake and aperture of the lens you put on them? I could be totally wrong but uhh... here's what I think? Aperture is a ratio of the focal length to the physical aperture size in millimeters, right? And speed boosters effectively decrease the focal length. So a 50mm lens with a 25mm aperture is f/2. If you put a .7x speedbooster on, your focal length goes to 35mm and your 25mm aperture goes to f/1.4.
