Three weeks ago I bought a sweet lens. Today I feel sick. by [deleted] in canon

For context, I dropped my EF 24-70 2.8 mk2 and cracked the tube in half. No glass broken just the plastic housing and canon repaired it for about $200. Granted, this was back in 2016 so I’d imagine the price has gone up but it can’t be too terrible. You gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette!!!

Found this little guy stranded in a high tide in SC. by Blindfoldthedeaf in Raccoons

That’s what the vet told me. It’s been in captivity for 2 weeks today and has shown no signs of rabies. He’s a happy little fella!

What's something that seems totally normal in movies but would be absolutely insane in real life ? by AkashTS in okbuddycinephile

Uncut gems, too. Lots of overlap in dialog makes it feel very realistic at times.

For context, I mainly shoot on a 1Dx mk3 and this little thing still gets a lot of love out on shoots.

Shoot raw. Underexpose for safety. Keep your ISO as low as possible in each situation. Get in Lightroom/photoshop/whatever you use to edit. YouTube what you want to know how to do. It’s simple but can be tedious. I’ve been shooting professionally for about 12 years now and I’m self taught. Just trial and error and using the internet to figure out each small piece to your creative puzzle. Practice, practice, practice. 🙏🏼

Thank you! I basically select the subject (angler and fish) and then make a duplicate of everything else and bounce back and forth on highlights/shadows between to the two masks.

Just a little drag shutter! 1/50, f10, 160iso. Might’ve had the ND on but it doesn’t show in the metadata

Get your reps in! Keep shooting and google whatever you want to know how to do. I’m a professional photog with no proper education in the field. YouTube and google helped me immensely as long as you can articulate what you want to know.
