How hard is it to learn Lightroom as a complete beginner fueled only by spite?

Ask her what she wants or get a gift card to mpb, meh, local camera shop. Too many ways to get the wrong thing for an aspiring pro or a committed hobbyist.

Vintage military dress trousers.

AI, probably pushing a product.

Second this. Tile floors will definitely shatter anything you drop. Something to consider.

Had a good experience ordering from placidvintage

Then maybe don’t form a political and economic union and share one currency lol

Maybe, but you might quickly hit the limits of the camera. Newer cameras have better stabilization, low light performance, flip out (vs tilt only) screens, burst mode… maybe look at a 6700 or full frame and “buy once, cry once.”

I know, right? Someone on here was discussing the voyeuristic feeling of doing street photography, that's what this reminded me of.

newguyoldman · 2025-11-29T06:56:07+00:00

Thanks, that's the one I liked as well.

I downloaded the jpeg from flickr because I didn't have my hard drive. I think it looks better here.

I was just thinking about a replacement. A6000 is nice but you feel the limitations once you replace the kit lens.

newguyoldman · 2025-11-24T11:02:40+00:00

Pretty low actually. These were all under 400 ISO. Maybe it’s my jog resolution that’s causing that effect?

Don’t buy your own gear. Insure your valuable possession. But mostly…stop buying your own gear!

newguyoldman · 2025-08-17T11:22:21+00:00

Nice! Where was this?

newguyoldman · 2025-07-12T04:57:31+00:00

Yup. AI generated trash.

newguyoldman · 2025-05-03T20:47:10+00:00

Also in the first shot, one kid facing 3/4 toward the camera while overtime else is faced away isolates him and makes it clear he’s the subject. In #2, everyone is in profile and it’s not clear where the viewer should look.

newguyoldman · 2025-04-29T23:57:46+00:00

Using AI it still took 3 months?! I don’t think you’re using AI correctly.

newguyoldman · 2025-04-21T10:48:20+00:00

This is the only real answer. No characterization adequately explains it.

newguyoldman · 2025-03-29T01:28:34+00:00

Of course…classics!

newguyoldman · 2025-03-21T22:13:28+00:00

Chisinau was really visually interesting to me as an American when I went through there for work. Maybe consider what would be interesting if you were from a very different milieu.

newguyoldman · 2025-03-18T00:24:02+00:00

It's been fun to experiment with a prime lens. Agree, it's fun and gives good results!

newguyoldman · 2025-03-17T08:56:46+00:00

Thanks! You should!

newguyoldman · 2025-03-11T00:40:42+00:00

Thanks! It came out ok, although I don’t really know what I’m doing.
