Photograph and Camera talk

@Jett129 that’s a no-brainer. Love the pics particularly the second one. Whatever exposure you did (or technique) makes it look almost painting like.

[Jett129]

This shot was kind of hard to get as the sun was right in front of me. In the previous picture,I think the addition of some analog grain,gives it the feel of a painting. This is Double Arches.

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Definitely thinking of you as I snapped this one.

[AllAhoo]

@alexxedge that’s the stuff right there! Awesome

@Jett129 Great shot with those red rocks. Is that Zion NP? Absolutely loved it when we were there in 2018

[Jett129]

@weftyarn That’s Arches National Park in Moab,Utah. Prior to going there,Zion,had been my favorite National Park.

I have tested a new and very very cool camera! The Sigma BF is really a very special camera, I think you love or you hate it. It is such a beautiful design and it is such a joy to use with the compact Sigma lenses. Here with the 2/65

[Jett129]

@Marc2706 Really great shot,love the slight shadow on the right side of her face,and that her expression,especially her eyes,says to me that she might be slightly annoyed at you for taking her picture. Last but not least the shot probably doesn’t have the same effect in color.

hi everyone, i'm new to photography and thinking of getting the sony A7C II. I will take mostly street / travel photos so do you think 35mm prime lens is a good choice or go for a zoom lens?

[pechelman]

It's all personal preference, but for a long time now I've preferred shooting with prime lenses over zoom. As for if 35mm or whatever, it just depends on how you see scenes most often. I used to be a big fan of 35mm but now it's one of my least favorites, always feeling not wide enough or too wide. I guess that's why a lot of people like it as a single lense kit.

Certainly though, that camera and lense will be an amazing starting kit for someone new to photography, but you could also go much simpler/lower cost to start like one of the older x100s.

@Jett129 Thanks a lot Jett. Because of the light/shadow situation I preferred b/w , but I have to admit, that most of my portraits are in b/w
