Sounds to me like the hard drive may be starting to fail. I use the WD 1TB external and have never run into that issue.

Well the canon 6D MarkII can be used with most wireless remotes even the cheap ones from beach camera. Your camera can be programmed to shoot photos at any length of time and as many shots as you want till the battery dies. Unfortantly I don’t have a wireless one myself but never seam to need one with the camera being able to program for intermittent shooting

That’s a great shot and I love visiting there several times a summer. Unfortantly the original pier has been long gone from past hurricanes. It’s wonderful to still have a photo to remind you of the joys in life

Nice set. I is to be one of those model railroad guys and built several rally nice HO displays. Lots of time and money spent but it really was a relaxing hobby. Never could afford brass engines though.

You need to shoot, you need to read, you need to look at as many video's as possible. Here are a few to look at, when your done with ALL of these, look at some more, shoot some more and read some more. But most important, develop your OWN style, not some one else's. Stay true to your development as a photographer.

Thank you. I will watch these videos and many more. Developing my own still is most important to me. I’m looking for something unique to my shooting habits and likes

I’m looking for a professional system that allows me to carry camera over the shoulder and not around the neck. I shoot mainly a 6D MarkII and a tamron 150-600G2 lens and several smaller lenses for portrait and landscape. I want to be able to use tripod or monopod without having to remove stap every time. Do they make such an item

Hayden offers some fine advice.

One thing you can think about is either large, 4x8’ foamcore sheets to make a large reflector or light absorbing blocker. Two sheets can be tape hinged on one edge with gaffers tape. A more permanent version can be a moveable wall to do a similar function. Think of two sheets of 1/4 or 1/2” ply standing about 16” apart by separating panels. One panel white or light gray and the other black. The space between the panels can have shelves for storage of bulky items. The whole thing can be mounted on larger casters to be easy to move around. The whole thing could be assembled for $125-$200.

A 7’ parabolic umbrella with diffuser panel can be useful. Cost is $100 for the umbrella and $30 for the diffuser panel.

There are tons of videos for ideas on portraits on YouTube. I recommend Robert Harrington’s with single speedlite and reflectors and full of ideas for small studio.

Thank you, I will look his videos up and hopefully learn a lot of new information

A really cheap reflector that you might find more usable in closed quarters can be found for a $1.00 a sheet being white foamboard found at most Dollar Stores. If they have black foamcore, it can be used as negative fill. The best window light can found on the north side. Many potential studios look for that before renting commercial space.


Thank you unfortantly I am using space I already have and the window is on the west side. Wish I was talented enough and had enough money to do this full time but for now it’s mainly just an expensive hobby while I’m home and not driving truck

Thank you I will certainly try those, any way that can cut down on cost is always appreciated

Use the window light for portraits.


I have tried using just the window lighting for portraits and didn’t really get the image I was after. It leaves some pretty hard lined shadows that I didn’t think looked very professional. Maybe need to try it on a cloudy day or different times since most daytime hours the light shines pretty bright through it

You are off to a great start with the images you posted. Very natural posing. I would consider also using the window light with a gold reflecting disks

Thank you for the advice. I ordered a set of reflectors off amazon that comes with a silver, gold and white collapsible.

Grey seamless is the most versatile paper in my opinion. Not only can you change the background colors by lighting it with gels, using an overlay or soft light blending modes in Photoshop with layer masking can create unique textures.

Both continuous lights or strobes have their own benefits. Continuous work well with infants whereas strobes have the advantage freezing action. I use strobes mostly in the studio.

As far as darkness in the studio, to have control of your ambient set your ISO close to the sync speed of the light. With the correct shutter speed, ISO, and aperture, ambient light can be controlled by the short shutter speed. To get a baseline, take a picture with minimal ambient light at 1/160 or 1/200 ISO 100. If you can lift the exposure 2-3 stops without having apparent ambient light affecting the exposure, you have adequate control over the ambient in the room.

Thank you I will break down and do some test shots this weekend with your advice and different settings. Portrait photography is new to me swing as for a year I was only shooting landscape photos with a Canon T3 and basic lenses

Hello and thank you in advice for all who give advice on this subject. I am currently in the process of turning a 12 by 16 room into a portrait studio in my home. It has only one overhead light which I’m thinking about removing completely and just using a small lamp to work with while my studio lights are not in operation. For lighting I have two three bulb 14x24 soft boxes and 3 single bulb shoot through umbrellas and two single bulb bounce umbrellas that came in a kit with white, black, and green backdrops. I also have to godox T865 with transmitter that I mount on stands when needed. The walls are being painted a light grey and ceiling white. The room has one window. Can anyone advise me on anything I should change and what I should do about the window. The walk in closet is turned into a dressing room with mirrors on three walls. I have included a few photos I took for a friend while the room was being transformed. Advise me on what I need to do differently please. Shot with a Canon 6Dii and Canon 50mm 1.8 lens

I guess it’s not due to the liberals but if that’s what they had to stay warm I bet they would wear it
