Alright I'll go thereI refuse to go to B&H since they've been accused often for discrimination and sued by the Dept of Labor.
When I got my 80D, I got it from Adorama.

Yeah used prices are a lot better at Adorama, same with trade ins.
I can't even see most of these pics. DSLR experience equates to learn to read the light meter in the viewfinder and chimp. I don't do group pictures without a flash half the time since you have to close down the aperture a bit to get two people in focus. Focus and recompose is kind of shit and I personally don't recommend it to anybody. Either adjust your AF points or get a camera with more AF points. Also the more you shoot the more you're going to learn as you do it.It has been a couple of months since I bough my first DSLR. This is my experince so far:
- On the first weekend I went to my friend's son one year birthday party. I've made a lot os mistakes, specially during the group photos because I've closed my aperture too much and I've also blown out other pictures. I also wouldn't use the same color style during editing anymore if it was today. By the way, I've also realized how easily pepople who are used to phone photos get impressed when they see pictures taken with a good camera lol. I really liked this first experience all things considered. I've certainly learned a lot.
The birthday boy.
Me and my SO:
A couple of friends.
- A lot of test shots later, I went to the movies with my girlfriend to watch Aquaman and took some portraits of her. I really wish I had shot the bench lol.
- In this one she was on a dark shadow, but I really wanted the background to be properly exposed, so I had to recover the shadows on her and it got grainy. I don't know what I could have done better without some external light source (besides not cutting her hand lol).
- And so, came Christmas. This was the first photo I took after buying a speedlite. This is my father. And again, I'm not happy with where I cut his arms lol.
During a barbecue on the 25th.
- This one was just testing my camera after turning it on, but I kinda liked it.
My girlfriend's brother playing with the dogs.
- Swinging. I've liked the motion blur on the girl in blue (my girlfriend's syster).
- Another portrait.
- Some of the pictures on this little pool I had to recover three stops of light. I've learned too late that the optical viewfinder doesn't show the correct exposure.
- And I'm starting to get found of black and white.
As you can see, most of the pictures I took were portraits. I want to better organize my time so I can take some street, astro and landscape photos. My father lives in a ranch, and that would be perfect for shooting the stars.
Also, I've realized this week that I was using the focus and recompose techique too much, even with shallow deph of field. This was one of the reasons some of my photos are more soft than I expected.
I didn't even took 2k shots yet and I've already learned so much. This is really fun!

Good stuff, I like your composition style quite a bitFirst thing I've shot in 2019:

Nothing at the site was like I remembered, so I had to improvise the compositions. Batteries got destroyed by the cold (with howling wind as evident in the motion in the foreground), so the exposure was rather short.
Also went back and re-edited some photos I never used from Utah in 2016:

It doesn't matter because Instagram compresses it, and most people won't be seeing the image at 100% in Flickr anyway.Can someone invent a timemachine and go back in time and give me a slap?XD My workflow has been to shoot on my Sony a7 and send the photo to my phone and edit and upload, I always thought it was fullres but turns out it has only been like 1080 on the small side, seems it took the preview from the raw file. To get it to work properly I need to shoot raw+jpeg. Realise, I've been shooting like for a long time and just now looked little deeper. Sure I still have all the raw files and will someday edit them properly in Lightroom, but all that I've uploaded to instagram and Flickr are lowres.
I doubt anybody on Instagram even notices, Flickr is a different story.Can someone invent a timemachine and go back in time and give me a slap?XD My workflow has been to shoot on my Sony a7 and send the photo to my phone and edit and upload, I always thought it was fullres but turns out it has only been like 1080 on the small side, seems it took the preview from the raw file.

I always resize to about 1500px long edge when I post to Flickr.

Yeah you're probably editing off of something lacking 75% of the usable information to work with. Not to mention your file size at the end of all that cannot by too big. You can work with a Jpeg, but at the same time the Jpeg would still need to be 95% correct in camera for example.Yeah you are both right, I was mostly considering when editing the photo, even if I just use VSCO I bet there is quite a lot to gain from better file to work from. I'll see if there is a difference going forward. It would explain why I thought the photos always looked kind of lowres.
Hard to tell if it's faked or not. It's either multiple cameras in an array, firing at the same time (similar to how the matrix scenes were shot) -- or an effect trying to emulate that, like Depthy: http://depthy.me/#/Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but does anyone know how to achieve this effect? Can it be done on an app, or is it Photoshop?
The "real" way to do it is with a camera like the Nishika N8000. I don't think yours is "real" since there's not enough movement.Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but does anyone know how to achieve this effect? Can it be done on an app, or is it Photoshop?

Nothing is shopped here.Damn can he actually open his mouth like that or is this shopped?
Best one.I got a D7500 in November and I've been playing around with it a little bit. In December, I went to Florida with my family. Most of these photos were taken at a beach on Treasure Island. The rest were taken at Myakka River State Park. I'm really digging the camera so far but I'm still looking to invest in some better glass.

Going back even further and re-editing images that I took in 2014(!). Time flies!

I like these the most, the tree focused pics have a nice spooky vibe to them.
Best thing about full frame is the stupid amount of dynamic range you get.I know it's old news for everyone here, but it's still mind blowing for my beginner self what you can do in post recovering shadows, even with an entry level FF camera.
Beautiful shots, really enjoy this one. Kinda want a drone now.
Some shots I took of a friend yesterday. She's no model, but I like how these turned out. Thoughts?
Thanks. You should go for it. I'm addicted to it.Beautiful shots, really enjoy this one. Kinda want a drone now.
They are nice. I prefer the first one because I've never been a fan of the up the nose angle of the second one. I think it takes a special photographer and special model to pull that angle off. The first one I think the tree on the left is the worst part, it adds nothing and distracts a little. Overall though pretty good.
This is gorgeous.Lovely pics and drone shots! I really should use my P4Pro more. :/
One from a walk along the beach a few evenings back. D850, 28-300VR. (Christ was it cold)
stop getting bannedDang man...this page is almost one month old...gotta get some shots in and move the thread along!
Nice stuff, Vern , looks like you're really taking to that drone, I dig the square format on the top downs. I like your re-edits as well, ghostemoji
