Question for Artisis Who Shoot with Canon Equipment
Dec 13, 2023 14:33:49 #
All artists are willing to suffer for their work, but why make it worse with the wrong camera?

RAW is basically a negative that requires post processing. If you want straight from the camera you might shoot in JPEG. It is a much smaller file. Canon colors are the reason I stay. I like them better than SONY and Nikon
Same for many artists and photographers about the colors.

You folks all have fun with the discussion. We're going to go do some shooting with her stuff and mine, and then go to the store.

I’d think the camera is just fine for her purposes. Make sure lens is ok for her needs. I did some stuff back in the day with a plastic canon 50 mm lens. Worked just fine.
The issue will be set up such as lighting, exposures, tripod, etc. instead of flash I’d find cheaper constant lighting so she can adjust exactly as she wants. Maybe slight adjustments in a free editing program….canon’s? If I could control lighting then I’d just shoot in jpeg.

That "explanation" disregards the Middle Way, which relies on in-camera user controlled processing of raw files.
Given your comment that raw files are similar to a film negative, then in-camera raw file processing is somewhat similar to the use of Polaroid film (but much more versatile).

Gee. I feel just the opposite. I guess it all depends which cult one belongs to. LOL

An artist can capture beauty with any camera. The rest of us should be using Canons.

*REAL* artists use phone cameras. Canons, Nikons, and such cameras are for the artless troglodites that dominate UHH "discussions".
----------------------------------------------
Occasionally, a real artist may need to use a "real camera", preferably borrowing rather than buying. But whenever borrowing is not workable, the "advice" from the UHH Clown Car is *always* wildly wide of the mark. Its simply that troglodites cant put themselves into an artists shoes. Check the UHH Gallery to see what trogs do with the cameras that they recommend to each other :-(

In this we agree. It’s downright goofy.

For Canon, those controls only affect raw files if you convert in DPP, which is very handy if you don’t want to do any post. The converted raws look just like the JPEGs, only better.

I still recall loading a borrowed Nikon F for an artist who had no need nor interest in learning to load it himself. Acoarst, after cranking it up to frame #1, I then huuugely emphasised that NO ONE but myself could be trusted to unload that very same film from the camera.
