    New Here!!

    @Judo got my 600 knowing the oil shutter issue and in practice I've only had it impede my work maybe once or twice, after sending it in for the free service. Just keep using it until the issue really starts getting in your way, and then you'll get a freebie out of it (albeit costing some time).

    Interior Portfolio

    I feel that this one ended up my most successful overall area over the past year, so I really want to hear feedback on where this stands right now. 16 shots in all, starting with ones like these, Interiors - Skvora Limited Photography A good few are still frontline shots for the respective...

    First time with 2 flashes

    And dealing with CLS and its limitations on the Yongnuo at times. I'll definitely say that first time I'll do a paid studio style gig, I'll invest into triggers like no tomorrow. Until then, a backdrop to set up at home for more practice. Blind Whino Shoot - Skvora Limited Photography

    Small Flashbender, their long bounce, or some simple plastic bounce?

    Finally test drove my large bender + softbox attachment and I liked everything but the bulk. Softbox option is the main attractive factor for me, but if the small bender can't really deliver enough spread, then perhaps I can get/make a simple pizza-slice white card to bounce light better than a...

    Beginning of my studio product journey.

    And starting to mix more of actual flashes in rather than painting with my ring light,

    Beginning of my studio product journey.

    Only rule being getting the desired shot done by any means necessary. And inching my way item by item, day by day trying various little things. I think the dust plague in the black shots is here to stay until I find some kind of blower or just leave it for post to remove all of that junk...

    Lighting Help

    And use a sheet or paper or some kind of softbox to take that harsh flash reflection off of the front. Alternative would indeed be photoshopping the background into a more pure white and/or light painting in the first place to avoid seeing the flash anywhere on the surface of the subject.

    1st backdrop color?

    So about to search for and get my first proper backdrop cloth, any suggestions on a good starting color? White would be easy to wash out and get a pure white surrounding look. Black might do wonders for isolation as well, though would have to do much harder flash work at lower apertures. Is...

    Selling my first photograph

    @AC016 , so what rights of use did you sell them? And did you keep your copyright? Example - you can allow them to use the photo for self-promotion, but disallow them selling it as their own; or allow both, but still retain your copyright of it if you wanted to do likewise yourself. Or sell the...

    lens question

    Your Tammy might feels too narrow on a crop sensor, but at the same time you got your almost-all-in-one zoom taken care of. Like @singlerosa said, go play and see what you feel you're missing. Primes are fun. I'd recommend picking up a vintage one to have it help you learn all the basics (you...

    55/1.2 AI conversion successful!

    Though I'll admit the 1.4 unmarked, hairline stop is a hint awkwardly made. Else everything works like a champ and review will follow in a few days. $260 for this beauty was a steal. Only has 2 hairline cleaning marks on the rear element and is otherwise perfect. 2nd gen from 1967 right before...
