Causality is everything you don’t exist and neither does the other one so it doesn’t matter

It kind of draws your focus to the art and reduces how much the surroundings affect it. I like it for prints, but not so much for online; not that it’s wrong

Why isn’t deep space photography as popular? Only like one guy bothered to take a picture of a black hole.

I generally know exactly the settings I want going into a given scenario. If someone knows one of their settings truly doesn’t matter I won’t blame them for using auto, but I think some people do themselves a disservice over relying on it and never mastering handling everything.

I can’t imagine getting some of the shots I got as well as I got them (especially in tough situations like concerts) without manually controlling everything.

Bit of a tangent,

One of my pet peeves is people acting like what a camera spits out or what CVS gives back to you is the “real” picture and anything else is fake.

Especially when they ask why their film isn’t looking like others like the makeup of the film is the magic and not the mastery of the entire process of making an image.

Changing the exposure based on what’s in the histogram doesn’t take but a split second

24-70 2.8 is the one I use the most. 70-200 2.8 is my favorite.

24-105 f4 oss was my favorite for walking around but I sold it when I got the 24-70 and regret it a bit now :(

Not camera, but lens. I went from a sony 24-105 f4 g to the 24-70 f2.8 gmii. I’m having a horrible time getting sharp images; Only thing I can think of is the OSS + IBIS vs A7IV IBIS alone made far more of a difference than I assumed it would.

I used to be able to do 1/5 pretty consistently and 1/4 like half my shots would come out; now I’m struggling at 1/60 and even 1/125 :( and wondering if there’s something wrong with my lens (Some shots do come out sharp so I assume it’s me)

Not really “made it” but more “feels good” (disability probably keeps me from really going professional) I covered a college concert for a class that had a four other people also cover it. When they released the photos of the event, over 3/4s of the ones they chose to show on the college website were mine.
