I've been using an HP Envy 17inch for a number of years and been very happy with it. But it is showing signs of age (battery life and performance) and it's time to replace. I have never used a Mac and so don't really see that as an option for me (too stuck in my ways). I am currently looking at...

I was on vacation at an Inn overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I planned on getting some sunset pictures and was pretty successful with that. About 20 minutes after pitch black, I got an unexpected surprise - a full moon rose over the mountain. I quickly got my tripod and my Canon T5i that I...

My friend recently inherited their grandfathers camera and it used mercury 1.4v batteries. Does anyone know what can be used as a substitute? The convertor is not the same voltage needed and I highly doubt mercury batteries are still made/sold. Thank you in advance!

Hello, so for the last probably two years I've been using a pretty good cannon camera the SX40 Power Shot to take all of my photos (that's a lie I use my phone too) but I can't swap lenses on it and I'm kind of just growing out of it. My question to you is what is the best intermediate camera...

Good morning from Southern Alabama! I have been editing my photos on a MAC book air for about a year now and have been pleased with quality, processing, and storage...but I still prefer a windows computer. I have been doing some heavy research on the Surface Pro (latest version) and cannot...

Hello! I’m searching everywhere to find an answer to something I’m noticing on my new EF 16–35mm f2.8L USM iii. My question is: Have you found the newer 16-35 iii is slightly darker and has a slightly narrower field of view than the older version ii? Or is it just my particular lens? I’m...

Hey guys! I have been working on a web application the last couple of weeks which helps people, especially new to analog photography figuring out which film might be the best for them. The site will list all available films with the associated facts. Furthermore it will let you filter films...

I have a question straight away but I should give a little background first. I have inherited my father's Durst m700 enlarger with a colour head and various other equipment. I used to help him develop enlarged prints and film in the 70s. He won a Minolta competition once and was a member of the...

Hey everybody! I have a question about a potential client who would like to license one of my beauty images. I want to pay the makeup artist and the model of the shot, the problem is that the model is now signed to an agency. The shot my client wants to license was taken about three years ago...

I recently acquired a super 8 camera. I bought film and was ready to go. I re read my cameras manual and found out it recommends 25 40 100 or 160 iso film. Well i bought 200 iso. Will it work? Also since these iso films are less common and harder to develop i was just going to buy a better...

So, I wasn't quite sure if / where this topic would fit into the forum, however, please feel free to delete or move the post if it's not suitable here. The reason I have posted here in the beginners forum, is to highlight that planning and practice are key to continued development and success...

This is the second time this has happened to me and I am in a panic! I am not sure if the culprit is my new Sony A6000 or a bad SD Card. I had mini sessions this morning and after my second family I saw that I could not playback the most recent images in camera. Since this happened once...

Do you think that having certain tendencies as a photographer is a bad thing? Such as preferring certain angles, lighting, or crop? Or is this simply part of someone's "style"? Personally, I find myself feeling discouraged when I notice that some of my photos are essentially the same...

Every 5-10 photos I take with my new Fuji XT3 camera in RAW, I discover unsettling bars of black located at the top of the image which distorted and skews the edges. I was wondering if there is an in camera setting to get rid of this, software update, or just a defective camera? Imgur What...

Hey there! I'm Alex, and I was born in a photography family. My Grandmother was a photographer, and my mother is a professional photographer. I helped my mother a while and decided to branch off on my own. She was a Nikon girl and I wanted to be different, so I went with Canon. So far, I have...

I just found my old Promaster 2000PK Super Manual with a Promaster Spectrum 7 lens. I haven't used it in forever, but there is still film in it. I put down the hobby of photography originally because I was too young to get everything out of it, so I told myself I would wait til I was older and...
