 The new bokeh lens blur engine in Lightroom is pretty interesting and effective. This is default strength with different blade patterns (original on left).

$1200 can definitely get you a full frame canon (5D or 6D line) and a 35/50mm lens. That would carry you a long time and was a pro capable setup a few years back.

Yeah, for $1200 you might be able to grab a user Canon R body and a 50 1.8. Can't go wrong with that.

BetterLekNextTime posted:There have been some insane refurb deals at Canon this round. R6 was like $1100 I think, and I’m sure the r7/8/10 were less. If those are official Canon refurbs I can't recommend them highly enough. Full warranty, like new gear for great prices.

Wow, R5 at $2200 is the craziest value I’ve ever seen for pro gear.

They mean the screen and viewfinder picture will match the final shot for those settings (if those options are enabled), not that the numbers will be displayed (dslrs did that too). If your picture is under or overexposed the LCD can show that real time before you click. It’s handy to see if your depth of field is too shallow too, etc.

Yep. I shoot events and weddings more on the R6 with cRaw but that's just pure disk space savings and editing performance minded. But for anything where I want max quality the R5 is perfect. They're a perfect pair of bodies and I can't imagine what the next 10 years of camera tech will be (to say nothing of the crazy lenses we're getting from the RF mount).

Rf 35mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.8. 35 is my favorite walk around/do it all but 50 is the standard for a reason The price of the 50 is also crazy (I have a mint one I'll sell you for $100 + shipping). Just snapped this photo with it minutes ago

grilledcheese posted:Is there a resource for finding good photography books? I just checked out the Americans from my local library and would love to check out more but not sure what to look for. How does one find professional photographers, in general? https://www.youtube.com/@photobookguy1380/videos This is a great channel that highlights a ton of photobooks across all kinds of genres. I've started making a list of ones I'd like to have in print (and getting frustrated to see many of them are OOP).

Related: the trend the last few years for wedding photographers marketing is to highlight all the high end fashion magazines their wedding work has been featured in. What they don’t say is all of them have a paid feature program so you are just buying your way into like Vogue Weddings or whatever.

 I just did some family portraits for a friend that is a hobbyist shooter and he was curious about how much editing I did. He didn't believe me when I told him it's only minor adjustments of the basics until I showed him. Now he's mad that he bought some expensive presets that made his photos look like poo poo lol. Good light and good glass does 90% of the work for me these days.

Ah yes that guy. Barely one step better than Jason Lanier in talent and creep factor.

https://petapixel.com/2024/05/09/nikon-bought-red-for-just-85m/ Pretty interesting update on the Nikon Red acquisition. They paid only 85m for the whole company.

Likely a lot of debt and low revenue. Nikon probably bought them for their patents more than their business.

There's a big honkin solar storm hitting the planet and aurora are possibly visible as far south as Denver. I’m in Tallahassee FL covering tornado aftermath and I was able to see it and get some shots here. In loving Florida.   also saw the largest meteorite I’ve ever seen right after I turned the camera off

Same here. Location sharing + emergency satellite calls on newest iPhone helps alleviate that a lot for my family members when I’m out on photo or biking trips.
