What the dark night sky looks like now due to Starlink satellites

a real dslr or mirrorless with 30s exposure will get you close. The main image in this post is a composite of multiple images over a night, stitched together. An older Sony A7II, tripod, and f2.8 16mm lens could get you close to this with practice.

Apple Announces iPhone Air With Ultra-Thin Design

I have just gone back to carrying an actual camera. Is it a direct replacement? No, but if your main goal is to take pics, a 15 year old mirrorless or DSLR will take better pics. My sony A7ii (which can be found used for cheap) takes massively better pics. These days I carry a Nikon Zf with a small

SL2 or A7RIV?

The Sony colour issues are a myth. That was from the a7 and a7ii era. There's no Leica colour or look either. It's all about the lens rendering. A skilled editor can make X look like Y in terms of colour. If you want to use the Leica APO lenses, get the SL. Otherwise the a7riv and GM primes are a gr

Worth the switch?

Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

Advice - Olympus 1000mm f11 E.Zuiko Auto-T Lens

Sony A7ii | Zuiko 1000mm Lunar photography seems to be its niche. Generally it’s very slow so quite tough to use with film… you need to have a fairly decent shutter speed to counteract wobble even on a tripod, which is tough at f11. You need a good tripod and you’ll still get a decent workout as you

Two hobbies collide

Oh don’t get me started haha. I like to buy used and lean towards gear that lasts and can be repaired. Holds true for all the coffee stuff. Capricorn mode: Camera bundle bought for $520 last November: Sony a7ii with kit lens and Sony 85mm, 4 batteries, an extended grip and a 300w strobe kit. Then I’

Camera preferences for using vintage lenses?

I've found my Sony A7ii to work very well with vintage lenses. I find focus peaking works pretty well for me along with the overexposure indication (zebra striping). And if I want to get really accurate with the focus I can zoom in quite easily.

Is this an accurate representation of the difference in color science between Canon's and Sony's newest camera bodies? (Images 2-5 were taken with my Canon R8. Context below)

So a lot of folks have talked about color science not being a "thing" or that you can always fix the colors in post. This may be a hot take for this sub but I have switched systems multiple times because of color science and it absolutely makes a difference. When you're shooting people and the color

Which camera for grad pics?

If you're only going to use the camera for grad photos and nothing else, you're better off using your phone. Just get a phone tripod and a remote shutter for a phone and you're good to go.

Ich brauche eine Zweit-Kamera (Gebraucht - DSLR/DSLM) mit Objektiv für Fotos - 600€ Budget

Wenn du die Fotos bearbeitest sind die Sony Farben wieder irrelevant, hier würde sogar einmal in LR exportieren, Adobe Color Profil drauf und exportieren reichen. Dann hättest du den großen Vorteil alles in einem System zu haben, du brauchst also nur den Body und kannst deine Objektive weiter benutz
