Thinking about selling my 85mm 1.8 and buying a 55mm 1.8

I don't use the 85mm much and I think I could get more use out of a 55mm in both photography and videography. Thoughts?

Nice shot! If you wish to learn something; something you can look into is not having blown out highlights, like on your tree on the left.
Blown out highlights are parts of the image where the actual picture information is lost and all you have left is pure flat white.

There is nothing inherently wrong with blown out highlights, and you can have as much of them as you want if it serves the art direction you are going for.
But then they should be controlled and wanted, and not happen by mistake.

In your picture the big white stripe on the tree actually distracts from your crow subject, as the eye is drawn there and away from your subject.

There are 2 ways to introduce blown out highlights:

1. You overexposed your shot and the information is completely lost, you cannot retrieve the highlights with an image editing software using highlights recovery.
2. During your image editing process you pushed the highlights too high and clipped them.

If you want to give it a try; take your original shot and see if you can recover the highlights in your image editing software. Then convert your picture to black and white and edit it again without blowing the highlights on the tree. Which software do you use btw?

the fact that they will introduce raw video support made those cameras so much better. I'm looking forward to seeing what the raw video quality is like

Sony A7III
16mm | f11 | 1/100 | ISO 80

Old pick from last Spring when I first started shooting. I cringe at how bad the photos are lol.

Nice shoot I think mine was taken about 5 feet in front of you with a 14mm Rokinon (back in 2014).

First attempt at lightroom. First real attempt at shooting manually tbh. Taking a course based on landscape photography so trying to get up to speed quickly. The main goal was to avoid blown out photos. The original photo did have some light highlighting that I managed to subdue for the most part in lightroom.

ISO 400/ F 7.1 / SS 1/250

Any feedback is appreciated.

Your schtick sucks and it screams insecurity.

very nice portrait, nice light and colors!

I guess it could use a very slight crop, because she is basically centered but just a little bit off.
And the dark building right on the border on the left attracts the eyes away from her.
Breathing space is a good thing and you made good use of it, I feel there is slightly too much to her left and over her head though.

Nice shot, and nice work on the dynamic range, your goal is achieved the exposure is on point!

Here is some feedback:

1. What is the subject of your photograph?

Right now when looking at your image it is unclear what the subject of your image is. All of the elements; buildings, car, tree, have the same "weight" in the picture. There is no clear subject. You should frame and compose your shot to highlight your subject.

2. Full Blur or no Blur

The car in your shot only has a little bit of motion blur.
Because it only has a slight amount of blur it looks odd compared to the rest.
You are losing detail and quality on the car without gaining any visual interest in return.
If it were a lot more blurred then you would introduce a feeling of motion in your image and the car would not stand out as "out of focus and lower quality" but would be an interesting visual element in your shot.
On the other hand if it had no motion blur then that would be fine as well, as it would have the same quality and level of detail as the rest of the shot.
So you could either expose longer to introduce a more pronounced motion blur, or increase the shutter speed to completely freeze the motion on the car.

3. Lightroom Lens Correction

Since you are learning Lightroom, you can look into the lens correction tab and the upright section to have Lightroom help you fix lens distortion and level your image.

Looking for a landscape tripod. Currently using the cheap Amazon brand tripod. No way am I trusting that outdoors

I want it to be light enough to hike with but sturdy enough to use on rocks and uneven surfaces. Any recommendations?

First try at deep sky stacking, i.e. static camera, multiple exposures then the software works out the star movement, then aligns and averages them all.
Worked okay. This was ~200 exposures, ISO12800, f5.6, 2secs. Will go for 1 sec next time, the stars are a little eggy.
But the software managed to average out all the noise from such a high ISO, I'm impressed.

very cool that you get to shoot that kind of images with a consumer static camera!
And very impressive what the software does with the tracking, position averaging and noise reduction, crazy.
What lens did you use?

Tripods are one of the things in life where you essentially "get what you pay for". You must really define both your budget as well as your desired use case.

For example, will you be shooting often in stormy high wind scenarios? If not, then you can very likely get away with a lighter travel tripod. If you will be shooting in windy conditions regularly then you may want/need to invest in a more professional grade / heavier tripod.

I actually own three different tripods and they each have their own unique use cases. When I shoot seascapes (where I'll potentially be in the waves) or high wind situations, I will use my Gitzo Systematic (which is a monster). The problem is, it is very heavy so when we are backpacking for long trips it can get kind of heavy. In longer hiking situations, I use my RRS TVC-24L which is about half the weight but still very sturdy. For my lighter gear, I have a Benro travel tripod which is very light but not ideal for supporting my heavier Nikon D850.

Also factor into the equation that you'll want a good ballhead to go with your leg setup. I'm a very big fan of RRS, although they are quite spendy - but easily the best I've ever used.

Oh, one last point - even if you have a lower quality tripod and head, you can still get away with it if you plan accordingly. For example, using things exposure delay timers in combination with hands free shutter releases can really help keep things stable while the exposure is being taken. I've successfully shot my D850 and huge 70-200mm lens on my travel Benro tripod this way before. You have to be more careful, but it can work on calm days…

Carbon fiber is the best choice for a light tripod but it'd be difficult to find one <$200 especially if you're expecting a ball head with it.
With that budget it makes sense to go with aluminum. This combination for just over $200 looks solid. The first thing I'm looking at is the load capacity and then max height, etc. Personally I wouldn't be loading up a tripod with $3500 of gear if it's not good for at least 20lbs.

Also factor into the equation that you'll want a good ballhead to go with your leg setup. I'm a very big fan of RRS, although they are quite spendy - but easily the best I've ever used.
RRS is top notch and I always buy US made gear where I can.

Which systematic is it? Mine goes from around 3" to 6'6" and weighs a little over 4lbs without the head. That's the height/weight sweet spot for me. Never had any issues lugging it around and it's been rock solid fully extended — as always with any tripod in the wind I'll weigh it down with my bag. I also like having spikes when shooting on rocks which are hidden under rubber feet when not needed. It's also easy to strip the whole thing down and quickly clean it so it always feels like new.



Completely agree with you re: you get what you pay for. Had mine for over 8 years and it's never failed me. The best money I ever spent on photography along with my favorite lenses. Cameras come and go.
