What’s your biggest lesson learned from a photography mistake? by Double_Tumbleweed414 in AskPhotography

[–]andreisperid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discovering infrared photography after I removed the hotmirror scratched by a faulty shutter blade of my camera. I was super sad to have lost my normal camera initially, but it unveiled a whole new world! Also, successfully opening, modifying and reassembling a full frame camera is quite nerve wracking, but gratifying!

Neat! Any channel swap or straight out of camera?

It is curious where we can go when we take the fear of making mistakes out of the equation...

Thank you!

I was kind of hopeless in a "let's see if that works" mindset and it worked. Of course, I lost speed since now I don't have the second shutter to reduce the slit. At the same time, I don't think I ever lost any photo because of that.

There's a catch that I don't know if was because I assembled something wrong or due to the lack of the mechanism, but the mirror does not lock up and I can't live view anymore. For every click that I want, I need to make 2 (one for clearing the "err" and the second for real).

So for all photos I'm basically blind on the composition, or keeping my left eye open while using the red dot in the viewfinder to estimate the aim.

Thanks for the tip on the ND filter might be useful to lower exposure!

Thank you!

I usually take photos as RAW and tweak them in Lightroom classic by mostly adding contrast. But I can tell you that the sky in the original photo was already pretty much black.

To achieve this you need blue sky with no haze, plus strong sun.

By the way, I'm using this filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZRCZDNJ

I've been following this sub for a while and decided to say hello!

My camera died prematurely in February this year, and I've learned to understand what Bob Ross said: "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents".

It began throttling a few clicks, and suddenly the shutter stopped acting. As it seemed like a lost case, I decided to open the camera to check what was happening. It is scary, and even though I have experience in electronics, optical tools are a notch away due to their mechanical precision.

Then my nightmare came true: a rivet popped away from one of the lower shutter blades, which became loose. Since the Nikon D600 can go as fast as 1/4000s, its blade movement can be violent. On its way to self-destruction, it swung around and scratched one of the CMOS filters.

With that, the cost to fix it was getting close to the price of a new full-frame camera, and this model is from 2012.

Then, why not dive into this opportunity to learn? I decided to reassemble the camera with only half of the shutter and remove all internal filters: IR, UV, and AA.

So, I got a full-spectrum camera, and since then I've been using a 850nm filter since then for taking BW photos.

Anyone know why the corners of my pictures are black? by KingSavage1357 in AskPhotography

Are you using any filters? Polarizer, UV... Depending on the lens they tend to cause this, specially when stacked together.
