random travel flicks from the past two months

And another edit today. Never shot stars before - bit noisy but it cleaned up okay. With hindsight I should have changed to my prime 50 and opened it right up - could have dropped the ISO a bit which would have helped.

Looking to get a mirrorless camera for when i travel. Can anyone recommend what i should get? Budget around $1k

Thanks

Do you want interchangeable lenses?

Yes

What about the Sony A7 or A6300-6500?

Tweaked this one - the sky was a bit funny in the original.

Fun shoot at lowes

 

[Fozz]

Going to try 365 this year. I really want to do it.

Sameses

 

[Liquid Swords]

Different facial expressions would've made that shoot a tad better but I like the composition and content.

Not even gonna bother a 365 for 2018

 

[Fong$tarr]

That new 85mm looks butters. Nice shoot. And that filter you have been using has been looking good. Looks great for portraits.

What about the Sony A7 or A6300-6500?

I was going to Suggest the A7 but Sony is moving so fast with camera bodies. The A6500 is a beast though.

 

[I AM REGGAETON]

Any nice spots to hit in between Houston and dallas day or night????

anyone here into film photography?

The 6500 would be an awesome investment. Unless you're looking at the a7 ii series I would stay away. You'll be paying more for full frame and for full frame glass. The a6500 would be a cheaper investment, still over your $1k, but you could build your way up to full frame.

I would check out the Fuji XT-2. It will set you back almost double your budget for a body and lens but it's an amazing little camera.

Just started getting into film. I just bought a Canon AF35ML, which pretty much has automatic everything, except ASA(iso). While searching around to get film developed, i'm realziing it's a lot more expensive than I thought. After a few more rolls and doing more research, I think i'm going to learn how to develop to save me some $$$. I bought a handful of Ektar 100 color negative film, so i'm anxious to see how they turn out. Can you recommend B&W film I should purchase?

try the fuji neopan 100 or the ilford HP5 Plus. they're both great. although black & white film is expensive nowadays.

btw there's a kickstarter project that my sister came across months ago. it's a small box that can develop your film easily. here's the link

Took some shots of my son and his friend few nights ago.
Struggled the entire time. It was so dark couldn't find focus at all. It being cold didn't help my patience at all

 

[kdawg]

Did you have the focus assist thing on? Lights up the target to help it find the focus. But distracting if you’re doing candid stuff by useful.

Hey guys,

I need your help. I have a Canon T3i I've had for years. I'm ready for an upgrade and my budget is around $1k. Would you say this is a good price for a Mark II? https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/eos-6d-mark-ii-body-ef-24-105-refurbished-holiday-bundle

Any other sites you recommend? Cameras?

Thanks for the help

I did but it didn't help much. Shooting with my 50mm so I was fairly far back. Think I'll either get one of those LED hot shoe lights and/or shoot in less pitch black settings
