Just use your fucking kit lens. Learn how to google shit. Fuck.

>>2921840
I want suggestions from people who have first hand accounts of their lenses and can give me insight on which ones they prefer. I've owned the fucking kit lenses for over a year now and I'm tired of their shitty oversensitive focus rings and want a fixed lens better than a fucking 18-55mm and a 55-200mm. Google just throws out random articles and I don't want to spend hours looking at 20 different articles saying 20 different lenses are the "best lens" for street photography. If you don't have any suggestions to give me then kindly fuck off, prick.

>>2921870
If you can't figure it out yourself, then you need to keep using your kit more. Keep it locked at various focal lengths for extended periods of time and see which you prefer. Typical street photography focal lengths range from 24mm-50mm, wide to standard range.

You won't get many replies here. Most of the 'prosumer' photogs here use macbooks because the hobby lends itself to the emulation of luddites. They know nothing about monitors

>>2921685
Yeah was curious about what level of interaction I'd get. I have seen a good amount of people telling others to have their colours calibrated and tested so I thought there might be a few responses to this.

Any at Walmart.

>gear thread

Just bump up the ISO if your shutter speed is too slow for your snapshits, ya dingus.

Velbon EX630.

>Takes up to 5kg
>Only 3 sections and aluminum body for extra sturdiness
>3 axis head that really holds the camera tight

I have it and I can seriously tell you, for 50 bucks it holds really well compared to +100 bucks manfrotto tripods.

If that 50 was a 60 I would literally shit on my floor

>>2921435
If you get a 40 1.4, that'd give you 60 equiv on its crop sensor

>>2921425
I wonder if there is any significant battery power savings from manual shutter cocking.

>>2921088

wasnt the moma giving off a free course too?

>>2921152
Yup, also Stanford prof released those lectures for Google (garbage audio though) around a week ago, plus if you subscribe to cc, you get access to Adobe classes

>>2921152
This one? https://www.coursera.org/learn/photography/

planning to check this one out too

>>2921164
do you have any links?

>we could use for the next decade or so
no digital camera ever is going to match your requirements.

>I can't afford anything over $500ish


Is this a joke ?

Even this camera (for example) which is like about 6000$ will be outdated in what, 5 years ?

Let me give you an example. The nokia 3310 is a 16 years old phone. And there is the (shitty) iPhone 7 incoming, you don't even realise what has changed during those years.

Get a decent steadycam, will improve footage a lot. Learn about colour grading and film with a decent camera. Editing was mostly shit.

But apart from that it was better than quite a lot of shitty rap videos out there.

pls respond

>>2920262
let him test it himself. It will takes like 5 minutes, and he will learn much more.

>>2920290
He doesn't want to fuck up in a unique situation like that so just some guidance is being hoped for.

Do you own a camera with a macro lens?

>>2920110
>Have you heard of our lord Jesus Christ?

OP, run, now.

>>2920112
The budget is £50.
His other options are a cheap flatbed scanner and the thing from OP picture, which is essentially a shitty smartphone camera with a macro lens inside a box.

> A friend of a friend asked me if I was willing to shoot his wife's birthday, I've never done it before, and I was wondering if /p/ could enlighten me, to see if its my kind of thing.
How would I know if you'd have fun while shooting a birthday party?

If you want to know if you will do it to a good standard as you are equipped now, the answer is no.
Someone with good lenses and good lighting equipment and a bunch of routines in a bunch of situations doesn't have to ask.
It doesn't require much at all to get there (a few thousand dollars, plus a bunch of hours working out how to reliably do your preferred setups or learning how the equipment works), but you don't have it. Or you'd not have to ask like this.

>>2919974
Kek. Complete tard

>I usually shoot wildlife. My friend asked me to take photos of his car, does anyone have any tips.

No faggot, you can only shot one thing in your life.

Then don't take the job unless they know what they are getting from you. Forget any fast sports in low light or decent shutter speeds with your gear.
Find out if they would cover some gear rentals. For football you want that reach. The borrowed 75-300 might be ok if you have enough light

>>2919726

Rental gear is your only option. Sports requires at least 100, most pro shooters are 400 and above.

Don't walk in there with a 22 unless you're taking scenic landscapes of the field.

Rent a fast tele, then proceed to rack your actuation right the fuck up in raw mode. Bring a lot of SD cards.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a sub 250 "studio" kit? Found some good ones on jet and Amazon with 4 4 light soft boxes, stands, and a backdrop/stand. Not too sure of the quality but really missing the old spot my pals had for portraits and the good ol glam jam beauty shots ;-)

Just found fungus on my favourite pentax 1.7 50mm and it looks like worms growing in there. I'm physically disgusted.

What to clean it with when I take it apart?

>>2918538
Alcohol

Show pictures then.
