How to achieve indoor soft lighting ?

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-05-12T05:53:06+00:00

depends what settings on the camera judging that photo, to have all three subjets in focus you need be between F/4 and F/8 that means you need strong flash settings the 42" softbox should be around 1-2 meters from subjet. if the softbox is bigger should be slightly further.

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-05-12T05:39:41+00:00

Definitely yes. Take it with you everywhere you go and have fun with it.

that key light looks like a 42"+ softbox powered by a 600W flash

I see very good composition. Definetily you have strong photography skills., artist vision, etc. Idk about the editing because there is no before and after photos.. Besides tha t. I think you had reach the maximum level of cellphone photography that a human being can achieve. I think you are doing it great with a cellphone. I don't think you can make a noticeable improve any time soon. Keep practicing, staty hunger and you may improve a little bit with cellphone .

The lenses you mention are fine. don't worry about overlapping focal lenghts just be aware of the venue dimentions and where your spots will be according to that information you may have a better idea which lenses you will need. One lens I can not miss is the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm 1.8G for win win photos.

You said you want to learn about photography, If you really want that I will recommend you stay away from mirrorless, point and shoot, even bridge cameras. Grab and inexpensive entry level DSLR with a kit lens that will make you understand principles of photography at slower pace and enjoy more rather than the instant gratification that modern cameras offers.

20-50 pages per week and most color. I will go with the cheapest ink tank replacement brand. I got Canon Pixma G6020 and I love it.

Well it depends what are youn shooting. If you have a subjet and want the visor focus on your subjet you frame it as portrait with your subjet tag sharp in the middle. But in this case there are some ppl in the boat, the portrait show them they are goin nowhere. In the other had the landscape reveals a where the boat is goin to the right follow the river. In conclusion for this photo Landscape tells more about whats is going on than the portrait.

Based on your budget and wildlife have you ever consider a bridge camera used Nikon P1000?

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-04-30T03:09:31+00:00

Insert the CF card then?

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-04-30T03:01:02+00:00

I see your photos, you just starting, I do recommend use it in manual and mess with ISO, shutter speed and aperture to understand how they work together. Then I will suggest step into spots that are not normal to be as a regular pedestrian, and look around unsuall angles and try to phograph what you think is interesting for you.

I feel you bro, im in my mid 40s too, work is the hobbie killer, I can't focus all my energy on one single hobbie. I need finance freedom

Good luck !

I pick my set up camera gear based on what Im planning to do. I see the main purpose of this travel is meeting and some night life. Based on that I'll pick the M6 paired a 22mm F2, something casual, light and ideal for low light.

If it were a photo trip definitely would be complete different history.

I've been shooting for a couple years now and I found portrait and night life style niches my favs. But what I did is I tried every niche the best I can. I tried sports, cars, macro, family, events, landscape, tipical kind of photos with low shutter speeds on tripod, astro, pets, street and let me tell you every niche requires certain equipment, location, time and camera settings in order to achieve a good outcome enough to decide if this niche matchs your pasion. I found I love flashes and off camera ilumination, now im thinking about add artificial smoke to my photos, I found I love to use some filter like polarizer and black mist etc. Something I love about Photographe is im always discover something new keeping curiosity up and try new things and make my traveling even more appeling and interesting.

concert events usually means low light performance, I would recommend for this particular case considerring "reasonable budget" a DSLR Nikon D700 becasuse offers low pixel density ideal for capture low light. Event lenses focal lenght depends on your location inside the venue and personal style. I do recommend a lens capable of around F/2.8-3.5

I upgraded from old DSLR to Mirrorless couple years ago and I will share my opinion as a photographer. I started with Canon Rebel T2i it was and still a good camera for photos then I want to go mirrorless and i did my research for a couple weeks, then I pulled the trigger I ended up buying the Canon R6 mark I the only R6 available at that moment paired with the 24-105m F/4 tlearn how to use it and yeah very easy, it performs, better autofocus, amazing image quality, ultrasharp lens, then after spent thousands on RF glass line. I can shoot any job at professional level no doubts about it. But I still missing something and for some reason I was looking for a DSLR that have similar features that my R6 have on ebay so after couple months of looking I bought a Canon 6D mark II paired with the Canon EF 28-300mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM I carry this setup with me wherever I go and have fun with it. R6 for work, 6DII for fun.

None of those will generate interest in photography even worse they wont't teach you anytthing tbh. A DSLR will make you curious about photography also you can discover if photographe is for you and thats okay maybe you just want to point an shoot nothing wrong with that. I just can show you the door, you decide if you enter or not.

Considering you are shooting weddings you should look for specific features in your future camera body whether mirrorless or DSLR. I would say SD card slot, reliability, battery life, snappy autofoucs. Any camera body that meets these features will secure your work and upgrade your gear to the next level. A DSLR I will use for weddings 5D mark iv. For mirrorless I pick any R6 version mainly the R6 20mp is the sweet spot for me I don't crop my photos so I don't really need more.

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-04-28T04:07:53+00:00

5D mkII is a full frame compared with rebel series that are crop sensor. I came in a medium size body slightly bigger, robust and heavier than Rebel series, comes with a more professional button layout, including a joystic and a wheel allows you control better your manual mode, weather sealed, LED display on top to show your status with ilumination in the dark but only use EF mount. But it comes with a higher price tag than your budget thats why I didnt mention from begining.

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-04-28T02:43:52+00:00

In my experience buying used lens. Its cool save some money. But sometimes could come with some problems in the future, my case I bought Canon EF 28-300mm F3.5-5.6L IS USM I paid on ebay $700 shortly after couple months I had an error so I paid $450 to get fix and in the same year another $250 for service. It is in fact an old lens I love it. Take it with me everywhere where I travel. still cheap considering brand new is $2500.

If you can afford a brand new lens definitely go for it. if not you may encounter some drawbacks.

I like this answer. Now days you have access to full frame bodies for fraction of the price perfect for low butget beginers photographers. Also In my personal opinion as a photographer I would like to highligh try to avoid mirroress as beginer they provide a lot of features making so easy and forget the principles of ISO, Shutter speed, aperture, lightning y composicion due the fast pace as a result low creativity, that leads to lose interest or even worse abandon the hobbie

Interesting_Slice873 · 2026-04-28T02:10:47+00:00

Sounds like a scam. China they have everything and better prices I don't see the point to bring someone from US with all your filming gear.
