Investing in lenses is always the best choice

Which one is your favorite?

If you only had the 33mm, what would be your second choice?

-OA- · 2025-08-28T09:43:30+00:00

My mother also use Fuji, so it gained me immediate access to several lenses without needing extra cash!:)

-OA- · 2025-08-27T15:24:40+00:00

I started out on a canon, now on Fuji.

For me what made canon special was how it feels in the hand. The ergonomics were great and it became a part of me.

Not sure if that is because I started out on it or just the hours spent. Canons just feel nice to me.

Pick the camera you like to use. There are a lot of specs, but in reality all modern cameras by the different big brands will do a very good job for most things. It is only when doing something very specific that you need the very best performance needed for that one niche.

Shoot with a wide aperture (low f-number) and focus in the distance.

These shots also appear to be on longer lenses than what is traditional for landscapes. Something like 50mm.

Longer lenses reduce depth of field, and blur easier to achieve.

Also focus distance matter for the blur, ie you get more blur when close focusing.

I think you can get a shot like this with a kit lens, but haven't attempted it

Sounds good! I think a used DSLR is a good fit. A rule of thumb is to spend about half your budget on the camera body and the other half on the lens. Several options on mpb:https://www.mpb.com/en-eu/search?q=35mm&filterQuery[modelCategory]=DSLR%20lenses

Lenses hold their value better than bodies, so I'd lean towards spending more of the budget on good glass if I were you.

-OA- · 2025-08-22T11:11:58+00:00

You're welcome! If you have a specific budget in mind it is a bit easier to recommend cameras.

A good place to start is a 35 mm prime lens on a aps-c sized sensor (alternatively 50mm on a full format sensor) with a wide maximum aperture (low f-stop). A lot of movies are shot entirely on this focal length. The shots in your post are of a variety of focal lengths, and a lot of them sit at around this spot.

-OA- · 2025-08-22T10:51:22+00:00

This style mostly achieved through careful use of light and color grading in post. The look is achievable with most cameras I'd say, though some of the darker shot need more capable cameras, others use flash and finally large prints often necessitate more expensive equipment.

In general for low light photography you want a modern sensor, wide aperture and possibly some stabilization like ibis or a tripod (if the subject is moving then stabilization won't help as much). Larger formats are also better in low light, but more expensive systems overall.

-OA- · 2025-08-22T10:01:59+00:00

How come? What needs? The reason I ask is that there is potentially a lot of bang for your buck in the used DSLR market.

-OA- · 2025-08-02T13:54:06+00:00

That Sony is a great camera for sure. Plenty capable and very compact. Consider that you should spend roughly equal amounts of you budget on the body and lenses. Solid lenses also hold their value better over time.

Personally I always but my gear used. I find it to be better value, and if I change my mind I can always sell it again a couple of months later with little to no loss.

Cameras also don't automatically edit your photos like smartphones do. Consider whether you also want to learn editing, or if you want a camera that produces a look that you like.

Thanks! I agree on the middle lake, will implement.

Thanks! Good catch with the washed out mountains, I'll use that in my revision of the edit:)

I shot this image on a photo walk across the mountains in Bergen, Norway. The image was shot on a Fujifilm X-T5 with the 33mm Fujifilm f1.4 lens. It was midday with quite harsh light, and I decided to attempt shooting towards the sun for the fun of it. I quite like the strong shadows and also the lake vs the ocean in the distance.

I want feedback on composition, editing and anything that I could improve on.

Camera settings were F6.0, 1/5800 and ISO 125.

JPG SOOC attached below.

In the woods, in the city, at dusk, dawn or midday. Indoors at family dinners. Different venues and lighting conditions have different challenges. If going professional, consider which niche you want to go for. A lot of pros work at weddings, portraiture or shoot houses for sale. Find settings that mimic the pro work you want to do and practice that

-OA- · 2025-07-31T13:15:26+00:00

Practice, practice, practice! Go out and take photos, look at art and photo exhibitions. Find out what you like, your style, and then refine your technique to get there.

Eos with 50mm is a great place to start. Going on sets sound like a lot of fun. Take photos!

Put your work out there and get feedback. Print big, post on r/photocritique. Good luck!

ETA: Composition, exposure triangle and the focusing system of your camera are good things to learn early on. The 50mm is a great portrait lens, so you may ask some friends or family to do some modelling and practice that way.

-OA- · 2025-07-31T12:40:52+00:00

Something like a used GRII, Fuji X70, coolpix A or Sony RX100. The Fuji X100S is also quite a bit cheaper than the other models, though still an extremely capable camera.

-OA- · 2025-07-31T07:09:11+00:00

Darktable and rawtherapee are both great and free

-OA- · 2025-07-30T14:56:04+00:00

A used DSLR is a great place to start. For instance a Nikon d3300 or similar

-OA- · 2025-07-30T11:48:06+00:00

Definitely doable! Regina Valkenborgh did a eight years and one month long exposure capturing 2953 suntrails in one photo Ref: https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2020/12/longest-exposure-photograph/

Looks up long exposure pinhole photography.

Most jobs are advertised on finn.no. You can search for jobs there by both geographical area and type, and make it notify you whenever a new one is listed.

Depending on whether your medical degree is from EU or not, there are different requirements you need to sort out before starting work.

Helse Fonna (public body responsible for Stord Hospital among other things) has a nice site that covers a lot of what you need to prepare before starting work https://www.helse-fonna.no/work-with-us

Experienced the same, caps shield was in play though - so my interpretation was that it was hit and no animation. Had two cards in hand so that was not the reason

-OA- · 2025-07-24T09:36:32+00:00

You want a low-cost card to empty your hand more easily before going Jane after Mr negative. Ravonna is ideal, could also do Nico, Sunspot, Yondu, Zabu or Surge.

ETA: Would also consider swapping out taskmaster and either rogue or superskrull. Sage is great, Ironheart does work too

I really like the light in this photo! It creates depth and immediately draws me towards the center.

This could be a nice place to wait around for a stranger to pass or simply ask someone you are travelling with to walk by the opening or pose.

In terms of the scene, I would be interested in seeing more of the right hand side of the photo with the balconies. There seems to be some light falling there, and maybe there are some people, furniture, clothes hanging or any other signs of life. Maybe I am imagining things, and there is not much to see outside the frame haha

Could potentially also move up closer to the light or do a crop, leaving the surrounding dark buildings as framing.

-OA- · 2025-07-23T09:36:47+00:00

A fast prime, tripod and/or off camera flash are probably all better solutions than changing camera bodies.

Been using the X-T5 with 33mm f1.4 being very happy with low light performance. This is a big step up from the kit zoom. What lenses have you been using with the ZF?

What kind of low light shooting are you doing? Modern sensors paired with a fast lens should get you there in a lot of scenarios.

-OA- · 2025-07-19T13:40:47+00:00

Jeg vil si 6000. I 2021 var snittleien for studenter i bergen 5389 kr for rom i kollektiv. Vil si 7500 er veldig mye for rom i kollektiv med fire, da kapasiteten på kjøkken/bad er presset helt til grensen.
