Austin Vinar started the topic Canon 50mm F/1.4 FOR SALE in the forum Photography Q&A 1 year, 2 months ago
Hi everyone,
I have a Canon 50mm F/1.4 for sale, it’s virtually brand new, as far as I know less than a dozen pictures taken with it. Fully functional, perfect condition. It comes with both end caps, a UV filter, and a soft case.
Asking $350, or make an offer, I’m very flexible.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have…[Read more]

Lightroom was one of the best photographic purchases I made. I got v6 stand alone.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Shooting RAW… ugh… in the forum Photography Q&A 3 years ago
Just so you know, you don’t have to shoot raw. I don’t and know of another professional who doesn’t. With jpeg you need to nail your exposure, but shouldn’t we anyway? And honestly, I like the way my jpegs turn out better. I may shoot a RAW or two under certain circumstances, but that is it.
I would think I could edit 200 in 30 minutes. But I…[Read more]

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Zoom Measurements in "x" vs. "mm" in the forum Photography Q&A 3 years, 5 months ago
There is no comparison. MM is an exact measurement that remains relatively equal across cameras. X zoom is simply what it sounds like. I have a 150-600mm lens. It is a 4x zoom. Yet a 10-100mm is a 10x zoom. A 10-200mm is a 20x zoom. Simple multiplication. Otherwise I wouldn’t understand it. 🙂
It also works for marketing. They can advertise a…[Read more]

I often open my camera up in the cold to swap a cold battery for a warm one. Never had any problems.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Cold conditions in the forum Photography Q&A 3 years, 8 months ago
In agreement as far as condensation goes. I have a heavy plastice sleeve that I can fit my 600mm lens in. Once inside, I place it over the furnace duct to speed up the warming process so my camera is not tied up forever. If I’m working in a vehicle, or out of one, I keep it cold inside as long as I’m shooting. Ive found that it I’m done shooting I…[Read more]

Flip the switch on the side of the SD card.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Great Gray Owl in the forum Photo Critique 4 years ago
I would not buy a lens for wildlife that did not have IS. Wildlife is most active when the light is at its lowest. Stabilization is needed. I considered that lens too. But turned it down for that reason. I got my Sigma for $700, barely used.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Great Gray Owl in the forum Photo Critique 4 years ago
I see. Here a few shots from the Sigma…
I’ve been shooting primarily wildlife for a few years now, and the purchase of the Sigma last November revolutionized my work.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Great Gray Owl in the forum Photo Critique 4 years ago
I guess it depends on what your definition of a lot of noise is. I shoot iso 800 most of the time with the older 7D and have not had any problems. But then I have seen someone take a picture that I thought was very acceptable and call it too noisy.
Honestly, I took a shot with my 7D at ISO 3200 pushed it a full stop in Lightroom, and sold it as…[Read more]

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Great Gray Owl in the forum Photo Critique 4 years ago
Hmmm. Not sure why it isn’t real sharp. You have your stabilization on right?
Try microadjusting, it won’t hurt anything.
I’m using the 7D, so it shouldn’t be the camera’s problem.
I have had this lenses af keep up with grouse flying straight at me. In cold temps.

Very sharp wide open. Metal mount. Sharp at 1/100 handheld and 1/30 on tripod. Often slower.

I highly advise those brands because they are good. Just saying, I’ve tried cheaper and it’s not worth it.
I’ve used other Neewer equipment, it is cheap. Can’t say I advise it for a tripod. A tripod is something that needs to be good. I’ve never tried the Neewer, but it is not a quality brand.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Buying a Tripod in the forum Photography Q&A 4 years, 1 month ago
BTW, none of these are light tripods. Lightweight sturdy tripods are basically a contradiction if terms. Weight is what makes them steady.

Also check out the Bogen 3221, not quite a Gitzo, but more available and less expensive. If you are less than 5′ 8″ and don’t use it and ground level real often, it might be a good option.

Austin Vinar replied to the topic Buying a Tripod in the forum Photography Q&A 4 years, 1 month ago
Well, unfortunately, quality and less than $100 is a contradiction of terms. I have gone through several tripods and here is my advise.
First, according to John Shaw, a professional nature photographer, photographers typically go through the same succession of tripods. First a $30 cheapy, then a $65 special, and finally, a year, and a lot of…[Read more]
