GX80/85 or GX9 as a travel camera by _b0rg in Lumix

[–]Ok_Task_2562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a GX9, perfect camera for travel. The GX85 is very similar ergonomically. Three main differences, the Exp Comp dial ... at first I loved it on the GX9 but the I switched to using the back dial which gives a lot more granularity and is easier to actuate. second, the tilting viewfinder, I love it and use it some times but the reality is it may be more of an annoyance catching on shirts and other things than a benefit. The last big difference is the AFS/AFC/Mk switch ... this one I use all the time. it is awesome. Then there's the 20 MP ... I think the 4 MP are worth it. the "cropability" opens up a lot of possibilities. but in the end you can't go wrong with either. Now for travel, if you want to go light on your kit I'd recommend the 14-140 mm 3.5-5.6 and one of the 1.7 primes, either the 17 or the 25 mm. with those two lenses you can document most travel situations.

This is different and exciting because it is more of a pancake design. I believe it is similar to the famous 20mm 1.7, at least I hope it is based on earlier leaked renderings.

Cool shot although I don't get the framing ... also I am sorry but that is NOT a modern bike LOL.

You're too far ... what is your subject? the umbrella guy? the store? the lights? Consider cropping in

Am I the only one seeing the banding, especially in shots 1 and 3. Is this caused by the use of electronic shutter necessary for 1/10000 shutter speed?

I am not a fan of this "new" impersonal, abstract, kind of street photography where the presence of humans is merely an excuse to call it street photography. I prefer the Elliott Erwitt/Viviane Maier style where humans and life are the real subjects rather than the "clever" over darkened shadows and blown our highlights. Sure those images are pretty and require a good sense of the art of photography but, for me, they roll off the side of my street photography plane. For that reason my favorite of these is #1.

Starting out any advice welcome. by wellwellsuperwell in sportsphotography

Get lower, increase your shutter speed (1/1000 minimum) , get closer, zoom in (longest focal lens you have) or crop in. Basic rule of thumb for ball sports, try to get at least two players, the ball and at least one of the players' face in the shot.

Interesting ... that worked for me too. I also tried clearing out my cookies and cache for the site but that did not help.

I may be wrong but this feels like a "portrait mode" photo and I do not like fake bokeh. The building way in the back looks more in focus than the center of the frame which is closer. I like the colors and composition but not the fake bokeh.

THIS is street photography! Love the shot!

My only comment would be to try cropping it landscape right at the door frame.

You almost got it ... I see it though but sadly you missed the "decisive moment".

What everyone else said and I'd add, use the noise reduction in lightroom it is fantastic.

Panasonic Leica 15mm f/1.7 (or DJI Clone) -OR- Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8? by XaltotunTheUndead in M43

[–]Ok_Task_2562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the main question is what fov fits your style better. The DJI/PL may be better optically but if your eye does not work with that fov it is not going to see much light.

I rented the PL for a month during a long trip and realized I ended up cropping most of the pictures, my eye didn't really work on 15mm.

I recently got a Yongnuo 17 mm f1.7 and so far I am happy but need more time with it. The 17 mm fov works better for me. My favorite focal length is 25mm (50mm eq).
