The Official Photography Thread - Vol. 3

I want to get the D810 but I think I'm gonna wait until Nikon announces the D820 or whatever the next successor is and hopefully the price will drop.
 
Do any of you guys carry backup cameras?

I used to, but I no longer do. Having said that, I used to go on somewhat exotic trips to places where it would have been almost impossible to replace mine. Now that I don't really do that anymore, I don't have much need for a backup. I have yet to have a camera fail on me.
 
Yeah, a friend of mine paid for it just before they made it free!

It's pretty useful - I use the black and white effects quite often - takes seconds to do as good a job as me in 15 minutes.
 
Completely new to photography and looking to pick it up as a hobby. The pictures i've seen here are really amazing, but all the model numbers and lens options and what not have me confused :lol If I were looking mostly to photograph models for streetwear, sneakers etc. what would you guys recommend to start with? Also what editing programs would serve best for that purpose?

That should be on the first page. Repped for giving him that info. I know you've done it before too.

Somebody make this happen. Probably the most common question asked in this thread.

@Methodical Management
 
for editing purposes...should i get adobe elements or get the adobe CC ($9.99 a month subscription) with lightroom and photoshop cc ( i think thats what comes with it)
 
^ I wouldn't get elements. I'd get the CC package. Lightroom is nice for quick editing. Photoshop is more powerful than elements.
 
I know you guys have heard this a million times by now. But I'm completely new to photography as well. I just purchased a Sony a6000. I love the ease of use so far, and the size.

But I just wanted to shout everyone out in here for being supportive to the newbies. There's tons of info in here. It's definitely a bit overwhelming.
