@samuelwest @buddingphotographer
Looks like I’m late to the party!I use On1 Photo RAW for my editing program. It’s very similar to Lightroom and has a lot of similar features (just better 🙂 to take my shameless stab at Adobe). No subscription required, but they re-release the software every year with new features. It appears the earliest OS the…[Read more]

Logan Lamar replied to the topic Mid-range 2.8 lens in the forum Photography Q&A 1 year, 1 month ago
Hello @blessingscaptured! I was in your shoes about two years ago. I ended up spending my graduation money on a used Canon 17-55mm 2.8 IS for my Canon 60D (crop sensor).
Wow let me tell you that it has been the one of the best photography investments I have ever made. It has a fixed 2.8 aperture all the way through… and it is AWESOME. I find it…[Read more]

Hello!
I’m about done trying to check focus and edit on my bitty 13 inch MacBook Pro screen… (not to say it can’t be done… it’s just getting a little painful).I’m looking for an excellent external monitor to use for photography and videography… what do you guys all use/recommend?
Thanks so much!

@joshua_ong haha yeah time shortages are where we have to get real creative with how we go about this, and also why we need to get a little creative here with any potential job opportunities. They can’t take up a whole lot of extra time or they need to be really flexible when it comes to what I can put into it.

@ernestf-lloyd Actually, I do shoot videos for my father’s small business, and in fact I’ve gotten a lot of valuable experience through that. In fact, shooting for my dad led up to a gig with a small life-coaching conference. I shot the whole thing, edited it in a month, and it paid for a part of my tuition! I guess my challenge is that I don’t…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
I’m currently a full-time college student attending school (the Master’s University in Santa Clarita, CA, in case you were wondering) about 1,000 miles away from home. This means I’ve basically pressed the rest button on my connections here at home and know no one aside from the people at my tiny church and the students/faculty at…[Read more] -

Logan Lamar replied to the topic Help recommend a camera in the forum Photography Q&A 1 year, 8 months ago
I actually had a bridge camera; it was a Nikon L830, and I used it from the time I was about 14 until I was 16 and my mom fully entrusted trusted me with her DSLR (a Canon 60D with an 18-200).
Biggest pros for the bridge camera:
—Cost
My L830 was roughly $300.—Versatility
34x zoom. This meant I could zoom in and read billboards that were rou…[Read more] -
Logan Lamar replied to the topic Photo Editing Software in the forum Photography Q&A 1 year, 8 months ago
@kazuki-maeda you look like a new face to the forums to me 🙂 welcome!
You’re going to want two programs for your photography:
1. A photo sorter/developer
2. A photo editorThese are not the same thing, but there is a bit of overlap. I use my photo developer for doing a lot of global adjustments across the whole image (cropping, colors,…[Read more]

Wow I barely even remember asking this question… maybe there was a glitch or something or maybe my prepping for finals is getting to my head a bit much.
Thanks so much for your help @dfrazer and @bennett-family! YES, my photography software (On1 2020) has a rating system, and normally… I think it’s just going to be buckling down and practicing…[Read more] -

Hi everyone!
I’m in need of a good strategy on culling and bulk editing a lot of photos. For example, I just came back from a portrait shoot of one of my little siblings with nearly 200 photos… how do I begin to quickly cull these and edit them without spending all day on them?Appreciate any help I can get!

Logan Lamar replied to the topic Speckled Lighting in the forum Photo Critique 1 year, 11 months ago
@kina @bennett-family one photographer I was reading—and I don’t know that I would recommend this, but maybe you could find a way to say it without being deceitful—said to ask your child subject to look for the little bug (or fairy or whatever) that lives inside your lens. You certainly get some very quizzical and fun expressions that way!

@c-anon, wow, I don’t know if I would try this on an 24-70! I think that’s a more complex lens to work with (being that it has full time manual focus and there’s a focus clutch in there…), but again, I wouldn’t know at all. You’re going to have to proceed at your own risk here, as I did with my lens.
I don’t really know where or even if your…[Read more]

Logan Lamar replied to the topic B&W Colour Effect in the forum Photography Q&A 2 years ago
Hi @joshua_ong!
Is this technique often used when subjects and scenes (i.e. landscapes) do not have much colour?
I’d answer that with “sometimes”!
I used to shoot products for a guitar case manufacturer. I shot a lot of black guitar cases :). If the guitar case was solely black and white then, and any color introduced by the camera (chromatic…[Read more]

Logan Lamar replied to the topic Ethical Considerations When Editing Photos in the forum Photography Q&A 2 years ago
@joshua_ong, I think the answer is that it all depends on your genre and the purpose of your photo.
If I am shooting for a newspaper or an event, I really don’t want to be doing a lot of Photoshop work at all.
For instance, I don’t know how many of you have been watching the news lately, but let’s say I visited the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest…[Read more] -

@martha-lapp, @jamesstaddon
Having used both extensively, Luminar I don’t think is quite fully developed yet if you’re looking for a serious editor. I really hoped the new “libraries” feature would help with image browsing… and I bought the program expecting something solid… unfortunately, it was really, really slow. On my computer, I had to…[Read more] - Load More
