I don't know what anything is called in this city, I just walk around.
I was there today, it's pretty popular with photographers. Just like that Manhattan bridge view from Dumbo. Not too many alleys left in Manhattan.I don't know what anything is called in this city, I just walk around.

You can use either that or 500px, both have a fee though.sorry to go a bit offtopic but flickr's still the best choice for image uploading? i guess everyone's moved to insta really but it's just not fit for purpose in terms of high res photos and the image ratio stuff.
dang, times have changed since i last used flickr. i'll look in to both, thanks!
Flickr still has a free option, but it is limited to 1000 images, which is little for most photographers. Size of the image doesn't matter though. Just the amount.dang, times have changed since i last used flickr. i'll look in to both, thanks!
whelp that'll do for now, thank you!Flickr still has a free option, but it is limited to 1000 images, which is little for most photographers. Size of the image doesn't matter though. Just the amount.
Of yeah, I think it sucks. This is totally ironic. It's literally the most generic shot you can imagine. Along with the pylon long exposure, although I do like the waterfront long exposures for my own usage. I still have to do more at night time.My only problem with this shot is once you've seen it, you've seen it a thousand times. I prefer the cloud usage in your other shots though.
I think that might be why I do more people and detail shots, though I love a good landscape. You really just have to eyeball things differently.Of yeah, I think it sucks. This is totally ironic.

Same here on the patience front. I most try to switch up what I'm doing from time to time...hence my more frequent park and animal postings, which is stuff that I'm starting to find relaxing.Landscapes are relaxing for me, people are tough, I don't have the patience to concentrate for people all the time, so switch it up.
This dude got scared and left. And I felt bad.

And she was pacing back and forth talking to someone....what I really liked was the monotone backdrop, and was waiting for the right character:

But yeah all that takes patience. Sometimes I don't have it.
Nice work
So, yesterday I had a photoshoot with, I kid you not, must have been the prettiest woman I have ever seen in real life.
Wow she is stunning. You did her justice too. I like the added visual interest in the shot wheres she's stooping. A reason why pleasant bokeh rendering is important.
Thanks, Bushwick is amazing for this sort of stuff. You absolutely should. IIRC you shoot Sony, you should get the 24/1.4. Fuji's 16/1.4 is my favorite, and a badass lens.Really loving the street art ones! I should also snap some art in my city, because there are amazing stuff displayed left and right!
Finally snowed a lot yesterday so it gives me a chance to try out my new lens and camera (Sigma 30mm f1.4, Sony A6400).
The real time eye tracking is pretty clutch but really struggling yesterday with the snow and the branches of the plant.
Also, the Sigma 30mm 1.4 (45mm full-frame equivalent) is pretty hard to take photos with. I currently like my Sony 50mm f1.8 (~75mm full-frame equivalent) since I'm a huge sucker for bokeh.
Anyone have tips with this focal length and portraits? I guess it's more for environmental portraits?

They're probably going to bury me in a coffin made out of lens boxes at the rate I'm going.I actually own a Nikon, but yeah I defo should buy more lenses, whenever I'll have enough money to do so :D
What do you intend on photographing? I could list some things, but I highly doubt you'd know what to even do with them. Just experiment with the kit lens for a bit, then start seeing what it is that you'd like to photograph better and then ask questions from there. I'm a bit of an all rounder...on three different camera mounts so I wouldn't recommend going down that rabbit hole if you value you bank account.I found a good deal on an open box Canon Rebel SL2 (200D) and it comes with a kit lens (18-55 f/4.0 - 5.6). Very basic lens and so far I'm just getting used to taking pictures in manual and playing around with the settings. I think there's a few lens I'm looking into if I did decide to get another one because I feel like this might be a nice all purpose lens, but would like a few more dedicated ones.
What lens does everyone here get the most use of? Or do people find themselves jumping from on to another each day? (I don't have a dedicated subject, so while I would like a portait lens, I also don't want to rule out a smaller focal length because I also like to hike.)
(I'm a total amateur jumping in though)
just take some time to figure out what your most used focal lengths on your zoom lens are and let that help guide your next pickup. also think about what kind of shots you want to take the most, e.g. if you like being the person in your friend group with the best photos of a night out, a fast wide lens is great - my sony 24 1.4 is my favorite lens. if you appreciate headshots, look at primes in the 85mm-135mm range.I found a good deal on an open box Canon Rebel SL2 (200D) and it comes with a kit lens (18-55 f/4.0 - 5.6).

There is a Yongnuo 35mm F1.4 for Canon EFS, which has autofocus, its cheap but I have no idea about this brand.I found a good deal on an open box Canon Rebel SL2 (200D) and it comes with a kit lens (18-55 f/4.0 - 5.6).

You think $400 is expensive?I'm currently bouncing between getting a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens or getting something lower than my 18-55. The kit lens I have I actually really like, because it's a giant step up from my old iPhone and it does go to 55mm. I think the biggest factor in that is I like the focal length, but the shallow depth of field I would get with the 1.8 vs the 5.6 on my kit lens is what's making me most interesting in buying it (the bokeh).
It's either that, or a close second of getting a 10-18mm lens to cover a focal length I don't currently have, something to take along when I hike or when I'm out in the nature. I'm not ready to be dropping 400+ on lens just yet, but the two I mentioned are $129.99 and $287.99 respectively. I'm going to wait a few months, and use the kit lens on a few hikes and see how it fares.
In that case definitely go for the 50 1.8, that's one of the best deals there is. Just know it'll actually be a 75mm which is pretty long for day to day stuff.I'm currently bouncing between getting a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens or getting something lower than my 18-55.
