A D7100, a great camera is a bit too much for a beginner but if you have the money, go for it. I would use the money to buy better lenses though. A good kit lens is the 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 yeah its full frame but so what? Also invest in good prime lenses or a wide zoom like a Tokina 11-16 f2.8

thanks for the tips. Problem is that right now I have to decide between a

D7100 with a 18-105
or
D7100 with a 18-55 + 35mm 1.8g

lol coudnt just stay in the thread for questions

>>2744371
don't do that.

If you want to take more interesting photos, become a more interesting person. Stop saying no, and start saying yes. Stop seeking out negativity and excuses, and start looking for reasons to be happy, and supportive.

Look for the bio of Pierre Verger and you'll learn that it is possible. Of course, you'll have to stop being a shut in loser at some point, tho.

i briefly took pictures on a nikon d700 and i loved it and it is affordable for an advanced dslr. i personally use a nikon d3200 but i mostly do portraits

X-E2 is pretty much the same but a touch dampened

Creepshot camera.

>I mean more specifically, realistic businesses the average photographer or videographer could start and actually make a great living with?
It's possible, yes, but you won't like it much. it's a grind, of making the customer happy. And the customer doesn't know anything about art, and doesn't care much for your creativity. You'll be shooting weddings, and events, and newborns, and senior portraits.

>>2746027
School photographers and stock photographers have always been profitable. Sure, you can operate your iPhone well enough to take a photo, but can you corral 2000 kids and photograph them all in less than a day?

use a wide angle lens, stop down considerably, shoot at hyperfocal, viewfinder basically just to compose quickly

~5000 stranges over a few years, only 1 confrontation

most people don't give a shit, some will give you dirty looks, and others will seem flattered by the attention


don't act sneaky, act like it's your fucking job, be confident, own it

life's too fucking short to care about the perceptions of strangers whom you'll likely never meet again ever in your life, just fucking do it

>use a wide angle lens

I only have a 50mm f1.8 zuiko is that already enough?

>stop down considerably, shoot at hyperfocal, viewfinder basically just to compose quickly

Does that mean I should have a large depth of field even though I am shooting people?

>~5000 stranges over a few years, only 1 confrontation
>most people don't give a shit, some will give you dirty looks, and others will seem flattered by the attention

I hope so. Does that mean you don't shoot in the exact location twice? So you won't meet the same people again?

>don't act sneaky, act like it's your fucking job, be confident, own it
>life's too fucking short to care about the perceptions of strangers whom you'll likely never meet again ever in your life, just fucking do it

Thanks. That is really encouraging. Well aside from being affected by others is using my phone as lightmeter slow me down? My main problem with it is when the sun is shining and suddenly it gets clouded and I need to adjust the exposure or when my subject get's into a dimmer area.

What happened with the confrontation? Actually I fear that I might take a photo of a qt then he might get a police and say I'm a stalker or sexual offender.

get good inspo. your pic related is an awful photo of nothing. went to that page (http://www.peterscottdavison.com/shooting-film/) and found similar snapshits. you have started wrong right away if you think thats a good picture, let alone a "street photo".

you can only be as good as the quality of your inspiration. unless youre a genius. but even then you need some proper references.

go and shoot in a place that makes you a bit uneasy. ive seen shit street here on /p/, photos inside literal shopping malls, dont do that. they are safe spaces, but are the dullest places on earth.

fix your white balance. pic related, could have much better results with the raw
too long exposures make star trails
find a place -really- away from the city.

I have crazy trouble with white balamce on night shots. It always seems like something looks off.

Okay, can somebody explain to me how you shoot at night in raw format? I don't get it. What do I do with exposure/shutter speed/aperture/iso?

I'm using a Canon Powershot G11

I was never too fond with the idea of uploading my DSLR work to mobile platforms. It's not that I feel like it's cheating (even though it clearly is) but, that it is the wrong approach. Shitty IQ mobile photos are better suited to be seen on mobile devices. If the pic is really good, then of course print it, upload it to flickr, whatevs., but a fine image should be printed directly.

Now I believe Vsco has some sort of journal or some shit. It isn't like the old grid (from the vsco app) but some sort of platform to make blog posts with your photos. That could be an alternative to tumblr...

35mm on crop camera like yours, do nikkon not do a similarly priced 24 or 28?

Also gear thread

>>2744587
There's a 28mm 1/1.8, but it's out of my price limit

Also, which of 50mm and 35mm is better for portrait photography?

>>2744592
The 50mm

Please put it out of its misery

9 years wasted..
she would have been better of smoking crack each day during these 9 years. Would look better and at least made some interesting experience.
I generally dislike fb whores who think they can model and get shot wide open by bad photonerds who invested in ff+f/1.2 lenses for muh bokeh, but miss the focus in 90% of their shots.
