The 16 bit FAT is what these cameras expect, FAT32 works enough to let you to reformat to FAT16 in-camera. Not sure if that's good or bad to do.

Didn't know that existed, sounds pretty good coupled with a 20-35mm f2.8

Looks nice. I saw a similar deal for that, but I didn't want to have to invest in new batteries for it. So I will keep using my d700 for now.

It's the same with all these types of things. Most of it is overpriced and you're paying for the brand. But all of it is consistently 'good' from a brand like arri.
So for a professional dp or production house, you know if use their stuff then you're set and there's a certain degree of build quality that you can rely on,
Comparatively, you use smallrig (or even neewer(!)) and there's less consistency. A lot of that stuff will work perfect. But some of it won't. And is that a risk you can afford to take? On a hundred million dollar shoot, the answer is no. When you're making short films with your friends, the answer is probably yes.

Looking into getting my first light(s). If my budget is around $300-400, would I be better off getting one big 300w light or one 150w light, a 60w light and a light tube? Mostly for indoor use, might wanna play with lighting through a window into a room.
Would a 150w light with a couple smaller ones be enough or am I better off just getting the strongest one I can right now and mess around with bouncing the light off ceiling/walls/reflectors?

You just need really good fundamentals and a developed eye for finding those things. Composition, lighting, and interesting subjects.

Do you want to go the macro route and use flashes or continuous lighting to craft a lovely image, or are you going to focus on natural lighting and/or larger subjects like trees and such?

After you git gud you're on a treasure hunt for beautiful and interesting things. Now get hiking.

Taking photos

Take photos, identify what you like about an image and what you don't like. Try to replicate the things you like and avoid the things you don't like. As you do this more, more of it will become subscious and you will pick up on different likes/dislikes, rinse and repeat.

I do not understand why people are so convinced they need to be told what a good photo is. It's literally like asking "how do I decide my favorite color? What books should I read? Who are famous people who's favorite color I can copy?" It's a fucking photo not math, there are no wrong answers

>>4376578
Only talentless hacks say this btw. It's an art form OP not a favorite color.

I kinda want the 55mm for the 3D pop, but the CA on that thing looks so ass. Is it really that bad?

I just need a 50. If I have to pick another, probably a 20 or 24. Doubt I'd use it much though.

I can't say I'm displeased with it. I've had lenses with much worse CA. What I care about most is that it's sharp enough to actually use wide open and that it gives a pleasing look when doing so. And that it's small and was fairly cheap is a nice bonus, I could have got a 1.2 GM but I'd be less inclined to take it with me.

And an example of the bokeh. It's not creamy, I have my 135mm if I really want that, but it's a look that I like.

The two lenses I have for my Sony full frame system. 35mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8.

>>4376508
These are a good effort, but none of them are sharp photos.
You really should make a bigger effort to use the tripod and smaller apertures.
One of the biggest things you can do to make tripod use easier for macro, especially at high magnifications, is to use a mounting system that lets you slide the whole camera forward and back.
The right way to use bellows in the field is really to set the bellows length for your desired magnification, and focus by moving the camera in or out, and a macro rail or even a long arca swiss plate are handy for that.
When you have a flash power dialed in for that magnification as well (fixed flash to subject distance) you can work very quickly.

>>4376524
Almost anything it's possible for you to buy will be an improvement over a lab scan in technical quality, and put control over colour and contrast back in your hands.
The gold standard for quality though is camera scanning using a good macro lense.
If that would be your ultimate goal then I'd advise you not to overcapitalise on an intermediate step, and either go straight for that kind of setup, or for the cheapest film toaster/shatbed with film holders readily available.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful feedback! I missed some hanging cord in one of the corners of course, so I'm going to retake the picture and take into account some of your feedback. I agree about that blurry shadow now that I look at it. Next time I'll post a picture of a contact print to keep things somewhat interesting, and share how good my exposure actually was or not...

If you can believe it this image was taken at f64 using a 300mm lens, 22 sec exposure! If you pixel peep the full res tiff there is some softness due to diffraction, but it's not really noticeable at an 8x10 print size, and completely unnoticeable when scaled down to 3.5mb jpg.

It's in focus and the sky isn't completely blown out.
>The lighting is flat
>The shutter speed is neither fast enough to freeze the water nor slow enough to flatten it. which has a vibe like you accidentally pressed the shutter
>It's overly sharpened
I think you could improve it by making it black and white, it's basically monochrome as it is, you might as well fully commit

>>4376106
It's a good start. It's like the sort of photo a first semester photography student would capture -- someone that's actually starting to give some thought to their photography and has potential to get good.

Choose a better shutter speed. This isn't fast enough to freeze the water, or slow enough to smooth the water out. It's at an awkward in-between that just makes it look like a thoughtless snapshot.

Choose a better time to take the photo. The sky and lighting make it look flat. Come back here during a day with "dramatic clouds" during sunset or sunrise (whichever shines the most light onto the scene).

Composition could be improved. The natural subject here is the waterfall, but it's too far to the lower right -- the photo has a lack of balance. The line between the mountain and the sky also presents a strong geometric shape that "frames" the photo, exaggerating the lack of balance. Try to either avoid the potential for this sort of framing, or utilize it to effect (which I don't think is very possible for this kind of photo unless you want to get abstract).

I would like to see more intrigue in the foreground. Try a wider angle lens, get close to the ground, and letting that log or an interesting rock dominate the foreground.

Learn to use curves in post-processing to enhance contrast and control the tonal value of lighting.

Keep at it op and you can get good.
