- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
The last time I did photography/film work was in college 8 years ago when I took a few years of film. I miss it badly, and I want to get back into it.
So I decided to look into the world of dslr cameras.
Hmm...
I plan on shooting more photos than video, but I miss my Final Cut Pro editing days. So I do plan on making short films again.... just for fun. Also when I see shots I want to capture (and I remember the photos I took in college), I loved to work in low light. I always found it appealing to me. My eye often goes towards low light shots.
Outside of that, I plan on using the camera for family work: portraits of nieces/nephews/my own future children. I would also use the camera for video testimonials for my work, and I also plan taking product photos for business. The product photos would be enlarged for web use/flyers/brochures.
I am good with computers and have experience with Photoshop. I would plan on editing my own photos. I can see myself editing RAW photos for sure.
I see this as an investment for many, many years to come.
I wonder if I'd regret ever buying a crop sensor, knowing now that I can spend a bit more and get a full frame.
If I get a crop sensor, can I get the same effect by adding a wide angle lens to mimic the full frame advantage? Maybe then, I can just get a crop today, and adjust for a possible want for FF later. Thoughts?
I don't own any glass, so that's one starting plus in finding a good initial dslr setup.
Anyone want to open up a conversation on this one with me? I have a lot of uses for a camera, I just need to start narrowing down what features I should have. For some reason, I started with crop vs FF.
Thanks.
