Hello, apologies for what must be an irritating question for film photography enthusiasts, but I mean well. Over the past month or two I've been researching and trying to learn about the basics of film photography, as while I have a digital camera that works fantastic (a Sony a3000) and I've...

Hi All, I recently started photography and got a DSLR. I have been following a lot of channel on YouTube and forums like this about photography and realized that taking photo is just the tip of Iceberg, and you HAVE TO KNOW EDITING to make it presentable. I have no grudge with editing and...

Hey everyone! I'm April and I'm from Texas. My dad was big on photography so I grew up with a lot of his little Kodak hawkeye and instamatic cameras. As I got older I had a few newer point and shoots as well. I always wanted something that I could do more with and my dad for as long as I can...

I don't mean to start the Android/Apple debate, but I am currently in the market for a new phone and would like to take into account the device I use everyday. Do either provide more of a photography tool than the other? Whether it be access to certain apps, having better tools within, or...

Hi, I'm fairly new to photography, my Mum gave me a camera to play with that she was not using, Cannon Eos something, I think. I've had it for about a year, and mostly have been playing around with it when I remember. It does help that I have an extremely photogenic cat that even a new photog...

I retired from the US military in 2015 after having served 28 years. Over the course of my military career I'd often felt the calling to take my photography beyond taking the occasional weekend snap but was often overcome by the requirements of duty. In February of 2017 I decided to take the...

Hello all. I am totally new to forums in general, especially photography ones. The only online interaction I've had with photography was on Instagram and it wasn't enough for me so here I am. I live in Florida (Gulf Coast represent) and love to shoot. Hoping to learn more.
