Look into the rule of thirds, and probably shoot with a wider aperture to blur the clutter in the background and draw the eye toward your subject. The lighting is a little flat so maybe change the environment entirely.
Horizontal would have been better too.

For portraits you want a short tele lens. 85mm equivalent is a common one (that means 50mm on your camera).

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased my first DSLR with a very specific purpose. Last year when I saw all my friends and family, I took a lot of camera phone shots that came out very poorly. This year, I would like to get some very good shots of people.
The setting would be- the person isn't looking, they are most likely moving, we are indoors, and the room is lit or dimly lit.
I'm would like to know, given that situation: what manual settings would you recommend?
My reasoning behind the no-flash is because it tends to really kill someones vibe. I'm sure the loud shutter won't help either, but there's nothing I can do about that.
Any and all advice is welcome, thanks in advance.

High ISO, shutter priority, buy a lens with a decent aperture (24mm 2.8 for example)
>>
>>2720446
Maybe get the cheap 50mm prime for the low aperture. I have it and love it. Only problem you have to watch out for is the conversion factor if you dont have a full frame. So if you got a small rooms then maybe get something wider.
>>
>>2720446
You can try to dissipate built-in flash light with some tricks, maybe it'll work. No settings will help you without light, you can't just cheat physics - if it'll be too dim, you won't be able to capture moving subjects.
On the other hand, i'm willing to bet that your high-iso photos would look alright in low resolution and after noise reduction, so it all depends on how much quality can you sacrifice.
And as other guy said, nifty fifty. God, this lens is just perfect for its price - but it'll be more about shooting faces than your generic christmas group photo.

Ok so I'm anticipating a new K-3 for Christmas, and I've never worked with digital photography before. I just installed Lightroom, and I want to get accustomed to some of the features it offers. I don't intend on doing heavy editing, but the ability to fix exposure mistakes that couldnt be addressed from an impromptu shot is nice. If anyone has a few raw files they'd like to post for me to mess around with in lightroom that would be cool.

Look around Youtube for tutorials, Fro knows Photos usually critiques and process RAWs from others and puts them out in the comments. You can download them and follow his processing. Also experiment, see what things do what, don't be afraid to totally rape a photo, you can always reset it back to original state.

i'm looking for a film scanner, <$300. i'm in canada, so would rather not buy off of ebay (shipping is ridiculous). the best thing available on my local classifieds is a nikon ls-2000 for $200.
this scanner is from 1999, and i'm unsure if it's worthwhile to spend $200 on such an old piece of equipment. i'd need to get an scsi-to-usb and run an older version of windows in a virtual desktop.
i need a scanner for mostly black and white 35mm negatives; i want decent quality that could work in an online publication or for making small prints.

Any of the film orientad flat bed scanners (Epson Vxxx, Canoscan xxxx, etc) will give you better results than that (with far less work too).
>>
>>2720237
>online publication or for making small prints.
I am a fan of dedicated film scanners but for what you need, a flat bed will be fine.
if you want better quality don't look any older than the Coolscan 8000/4000

For shits and giggles, the US Amazon is offering that thing for about $906 right now.

Not possible. The faces are about 4 pixels each. If you provide a higher resolution picture then maybe.
Photo editing isn't fucking magic though

does anyone have a DL of the newer VSCO packs?
i have packs 1-4, just want to try out 5, 6, and 7 before I buy them.
I regret buying all except pack 4 now; I never use the others. I want to test them out first and will buy the ones I actually want to use.

My auntie is on a nostalgia trip & wants to get a camcorder for my uncle to 'capture precious family moments' this christmas.
She's asked for advice on buying a camcorder. I've never had to use one since getting my DSLR, are they still as shitty as they were back in 2010? Anybody have any recommendations?

I kinda doubt auntie would like to pay for an A7S, GH4 or Blackmagic and beyond, so all you get is still pretty crap.
But I'm sure recording with a Yicam, GoPro or Sony PJ530 or A6000 or whatever will work quite okay for family moments.
>>
>>2717772
Sony F65. It's okay.

They're not high tech in any sense, doubt a DSLR with interchangeable lenses and settings would help them out much. Are there any good non DSLR cameras with comparable video quality?
