The Darkroom: general photography posts and discussion

That’s why I’m thinking the 10-24mm should be perfect for me since it would be 15-36mm on my x t 30. Thank you. This is exactly what I needed confirmation on. That lower end really isn’t all that necessary, especially factoring in cost.

Thank you both! Now to find a good used 10-24mm…

I didn’t go to UCSD, just live nearby. My wife is a UCSD grad and she said having bad imposter syndrome and anxiety about flunking is good motivation to stay inside and study

UCSD is a notoriously boring school as well. It’s nickname is “UC Socially Dead”

A few more shots that I have particularly enjoyed taking.
All of these were shot on a Nikon d7500 (ASP-C sensor) with a 16-80mm f2.8 lens.

There is something compelling about the self-assuredness of this chicken.

THIS THIS THIS THIS

If you’re ballin’ on a budget like most of us - go this route. It’s less expensive high-quality glass, which means you can just go buy more lenses with the money you save.

Of course 24mm full frame is 16mm aps-c. . .

Yeah. So I haven’t seen the need to go down to 8 or 10 APS-C.

late to the party on this reply but for online courses on shooting, editing and everyhting else I have always recommended the Kelbyone site and its library of videos. everything from getting started to full studio shooting and editing


unrelated but too cool not to share. Massive avalanche fracture that was visible after the storm and clouds cleared away

Selling my Fuji X100F if anyone is in the market.

Upgrading from the A7rII to the A7IV feels like driving a 2022 vehicle vs a 2010 vehicle. Excited to get this out on the course this summer and hopefully take advantage of the 4k 10 bit video capabilities as well.

First time poster, short time lurker. Thanks to @Thinbullet for being a huge help on the camera acquisition front. I recently bought a used Canon 80D and a few lenses that came from the seller.

The primary reason I am dipping my toe into the world of photography is youth sports. I am currently one of those parents stupidly doing the pinch zoom thing with my iPhone thinking I am going to get a good picture of one of my kids sprinting down the field. So lame.

I’m now looking to acquire a used 70-200 f2.8 lens. I’ve been watching my local FB marketplace, but if anyone has recos on other places to look, let me know! Thanks!
