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.

Nobody cares about photos. If you want to be a photography influencer, the only option is to make videos about gear on youtube. No body wants to look at your photos, unless your photos are porn.

>>4376462

Why would anybody want to watch video about gear if nobody wants to see photos taken with the gear?
Or you mean gear for tik tok and videos?

>>4371659
Yeah i was wondering if going m4/3 is worth it. I was thinking of the 1.7f 20mm. With the exact camera you mentioned, or a Panasonic GX1

>>4371688
butthurt

>>4371580
You already have lenses so just buy a 6400

They're 400-500 dollars used

>>4371580
Pannyboy GX80 and the 20mm 1.7
Next question

>>4376080
>>4371689
Are you particularly attached to your lenses? While it does make sense to buy another Sony on paper, it really only makes sense if you actively like the lenses you have. If not, this could be a great chance to try something new.

>I am looking for a compact camera to purchase under $400
Pentax k5 - $200
Nikon d700 - $300
Canon 5d mkiii -$250

Kinda depends on your definition of "compact" but lots of good options out there

Hi,

By autofocus issues I was speaking specifically about backfocusing/frontfocusing which can be quite troublesome. They typically aren't that common but when they are you would need a specialist to fix it. I have had one with that issue but it was caused by a previous owner trying to tamper with it, trying to make the outer points more accurate at the cost of the accuracy of the centre point.

Regarding the picture, I think the noise is noticeable only because its about a 50% crop. The 5D's noise is good for it's age and so long as you aren't trying to pull shadows from the depths you probably won't have any issues. It's noise is also, and this is a matter of opinion, pretty pleasing and might not something that you'll want to remove necessarily.

It's a great camera, I'm you'll enjoy it. It's built really well. You might need to get a new port cover off aliexpress or a similar site though as those rubbers rot. 3rd part batteries might also be worthwhile, I have some extended life chinesium ones from eBay and since the 5D has no live view it's not uncommon for me to a few months on a single charge of one battery.

Thanks,
Ken.

>the EF 70-300 being ass, unless you go with an L lens
The MkII is good.

>>4373947
>which is the Nikon to compare it to as full frame
The original has no equivalent given that it was available a generation before Nikon had full frame.

>>4375762
It's an approximation. Don't use pinpoint AF, it's precise without giving you an accurate frame target. I like to use the 3D tracking mode which also gives you a smallish box, slap that puppy on whatever you want in focus and bob's your uncle. It's doing a lot of processing under the hood. If you want focus confirmation, punch in on the preview and confirm yourself. The Z6 and Z6II (and Z7s) have annoying AF, but if you trust them they're actually quite accurate on most of the automatic modes.

>>4375762
Such are the sorrows of mirrorless.

>>4375999
Oh ho ho ho no, Canon AF on mirrorless is dreamy. This is clearly a Niggon problem

>>4375999
My sony works fine

>inb4 “but dis one broke” canned seethe from clive/om5 gearfag
When you outsell every non canon brand combined, the sample size necessitates a few lemons. I’d worry more about fuji and panasonic having as many failures with a fraction of the sales. But we dont talk about broken panashit ie: s5ii battery draining here do we? And when we talk about fujis nonexistent WR every slug says “but you dont take pics in hurricanes so its ok!!!!”

>>4373550
I just want the Z7+ to do 2 more things. 1, Trap mode, so I can just set it and when a fucking bird lands in front of it spray it with assplosures, and 2, stream the fucking preview to the ipad. I mean fully, and high resolution. So I can focus that shit on the big fat fuckoff high res 13" ipad display, see the histogram & settings either on a sidebar on the ipad or off on the cameras display itself, so that shits' not covering the image, then shoot the bitch with a tap on the ipad. Let me use a fucking mini so I can strap it to my cock, I mean wrist, and it's like a perfect HUD for the body. Instead Nikon has like 7 different apps, none of which work, or install on various operating systems, or they need a cameras built in wifi & then can't dump the shots to your notebook without killing the notebooks network connection, or what the fuck, but you can count on them not working & being a clusterfuck. Fix your fucking bluetooth module you bastards, it has never worked jfc.

Otherwise I love Nikon. But oh ma fuckin god they need to hire a goddamn programmer who isn't 87.

It's also in the exif. I think OP mentioned it because of the length of the water drop. No fuckin' idea why you'd need ISO 800 with a flash at such short range though, even at f/16.

>>4371206
The length of the drop is determined by the flash duration, which is determined by the flash strength. Aperture and ISO do have an effect on that but you could use any combination.
>No fuckin' idea why you'd need ISO 800 with a flash at such short range though, even at f/16.
He may have been able to lower the ISO and increased the flash power, however more power does mean a longer flash duration. Also the NEX-3 uses a tiny weak proprietary flash so it is going to have its limits.

>>4371213
Huh, I always thought of flash as basically instantenous regardless of the flash power. I was under the impression that lowering the power was actually lowering the power, not lowering the duration of the flash.

>>4371221
My understanding of how xenon flashes work (I haven't really looked into it that much) is that unlike an LED where you can vary the voltage to change the brightness you just feed them power and then they pulse at a certain brightness, like a mousetrap going off for a crappy analogy. However because it takes a little while for that flash to complete its pulse you can cut it off before it's finished.

>>4368301
N00dz

>>4374500
Not the worst idea, you'll have an EVF and focus peaking to make focusing easier. Just don't expect any sort of sharpness, you'll get "character" instead but that may be preferred for portraits.

I would actually like sony more if they bricked video gearfags cameras for their eternal hunger for "MUH UNCROPPED 4k 60!!!!"

Video faggots deserve to be punished for all the bloating they've inflicted upon mirrorless
>the FOV changed when i set it to slowmo soap opera framerate noooo make the sensor worse pls
>z6ii->z6iii
yeah thanks faggots

no one uses 4k60 except for soap operas. the world runs on 4k24. who tf gives a FUCK about the crop, it looks fine, just move the camera when you shoot slow motion.

>>4368709
Sony is for retards influencerzzz and filthy plebs who can’t into photography. Their cameras are badly designed, cheaply made shitboxes for gooks and teenage girls with dainty little hands & no idea what makes a camera actually good. And it isn’t megapixels ffs. God Sony sucks donkeyballs.
