Pocket Travel Camera
JonathanChemE wrote:
I was looking for a pocket travel camera for when I don’t want to travel with my DSLR. I spent some time looking and went to a camera store to look and feel. They seemed small in my hand. I couldn’t decide and realized the technology was in most cases 5 years old. Then I read a post on UHH about the snapgrip about the same time as the iPhone 15 came on the radar. As one prominent photographer said consider it a camera that also makes phone calls. I took it on a cruise with some port visits. I couldn’t be happier with the decision.

Gloves for Iceland
mtcoothaman wrote:
I am planning a trip to Iceland and Scotland, boat and land, in May-June next year and am keen to take many photos. The weather is likely to be anything. Coming from a sub-tropical climate I do not have any experience with cold weather gloves. I would welcome comment or recommendations especially around whether the gloves which have an opening section that exposes fingers for photography (photographer's gloves ) are useful. The internet is full of options!

Thanks

I have recently been to Antarctica and used gloves suitable for photographgers from the Heat Company. Brilliant product and highly recommended.

Fuji GFX 100s & "L" bracket
Photonerd5 wrote:
Hi sabrejet,

So you bought a 100s. How do you like it?

I have a Really Right Stuff L bracket. It is probably much too expensive since I bought it new for $200 (I think).

In addition to fitting my camera perfectly, it also came with magnetized hex wrench.

But you can get one for much less.


I have a Smallrig L bracket for the GFX 100s. Excellent accessory. cost. AUD$115

How to wipe meta and exif data
I use ImageOptim 2 downloaded to my Mac desktop. I believe it may also be available for PCs.

I use an app called ImageOptim 2. I have this on the desk top of my Mac. Very quick and efficient.

ND Filter Set
I use Nisi and Benro filters. Great results.
jcwall396 wrote:
Planning a trip to Iceland and want to get a set of ND filters mostly for shooting waterfalls. I’d like to get a “set” vs. just one so I have some options depending on weather and light conditions. What manufacturers would you suggest and how many stops? I’ve used ND filters in the past but not extensively, so I’m a bit of a newbie to them. These will also be used at the beach for sunsets and getting some long exposure images of the Gulf. Thanks in advance….

What is your favorite effect lens filter?
Black mist diffusion filters of varying strengths. I usually use either 1/8 or 1/4 strength. Nisi and Tiffen make great diffusion filters. I use one all the time on my Fujifilm x100v.

Fuji experts
Gabyto wrote:
I am wondering which Fuji model will be better XT3, XT2 or XT4. I am very fascinated by the quality of the JPEG pictures from Fuji. I only want replies from Fuji owners only.

Thank you

gabyto


I've owned all three. Hands down the XT4. A brilliant camera and still going strong.

100mm Square filter system
JR69 wrote:
For sunsets or scenes like the grand canyon where one side is in the shade and the other in the sun. I want to add to my tools a 100 mm, 2 or 3 slot square filter holder system with 2 and 3 stop hard and soft ND Grad filters and perhaps a solid 10 stop ND filter. I do have a Tiffen 2-9 variable ND that works very well but is a stand alone filter. Problem is I also want to be able to use a CPL with that square filter system. Any suggestion as to what manufactures will accommodate CPL in one of the slots. All my lens I will use it with are 77mm lens thread and the Nikon 17-35mm f 2.8 the most probable lens I will use. I acquired an old Cokins system (never used) that has 2 slots and a 65x70 ND grad filter and a CPL that can be inserted into the second slot but have not found that in a 100mm system. Also is it possible to screw on my lens first, a CPL then the 77mm adapter for the square filter system, snap on the filter holder then drop in the grad filter. B&H was not too much of a help. Any suggestions would be appreciated !!~

what is the desired focal length for street photography
Abo wrote:
a 23mm lens on an APSC sensor sounds useful for street photography to me.

However much longer or shorter lenses could be used depending on
a million and one different factors.

Having said that, using only one lens could be an excellent device
to strengthen and expand ones skills imho.

And as 23mm is common on fixed lens cameras I
get a feeling that there could be a good technical
/engineering motivation for that focal length for
an APSC sized sensor. If anyone has intelligence on that matter
I'd be pleased to hear about it.

This was shot at 15mm with an APSC sensor.

Nikon Mirrorless
RahulKhosla wrote:
Is it likely that Nikon mirrorless cameras will catch up with the capabilities and quality of top end Sony mirrorless cameras? As someone with a bunch of Nikon lenses - it’s daunting and expensive to consider a shift to Sony. I shoot mostly wildlife and birds in flight so high FPS and good performance tracking capabilities are important.


You cannot go wrong with a Nikon Z7ii. Wonderful camera. Worth every cent and more. Just purchased the 14-24 mm F2.8 lens. Mind blowing!

Fisheye-Hemi
I have used it and find it very user friendly. Usually it is respectful of image quality and results are quite good. I use the Samyang 8mm fisheye lens on my xt4.
