The xt1 looks more affordable. Is it a good camera? My photos will be dope I'm sure I could flip them into a better camera :skip:

Im on probation now I was trying to go square :damn:
in that price range x-t1 is dope. d7200 is dope, sony a6000. you have options. go to a camera store, play around and then check specs.

Decatur where its greater
i got it for $7 at a thrift, should i take another step up or is this alright?

and what are the best resources (forums, youtube, websites) for learning

edit: and is it worth it to get equipment for home developing photos or is that a whole big thing?
I'm assuming this is a 35mm film camera, most of us (if not all) use digital cameras

:snoop:

Studio shyt is expensive
:francis:

That's why I'm writing this shyt off next year
:mjgrin:

Wait till you see the results from using the strobe. I shot everything in my house when I got my 1st one. The wireless triggers took me to a whole nother level, had the strobe on the lawn about 100ft away testing out the range. Was happy as hell to get rid of the sync cord.

I just realized that the flash on my camera triggers the strobe. Damn I don't know shyt about studio lighting
:russ:

Feels like I'm going to be learning shyt all over again, it's a whole different beast.

Yea, I forgot they had the sensors on the back of the Bees. It definitely is a different animal, be able to control your own lighting is literally the greatest. A friend of mine used to use 2 strobes outside with the portable battery pack, her creativity and ideas was off the chain. Her site is gone but her Model Mayhem is still up.

Bought this beauty a few weeks back along with the power battery grip :wow: good lawd brehs... The silent shutter along with the continuous burst mode makes street photography feel like cheating :picard:. I leave my Canon 6d at the office and keep this mufukka in my messenger bag at all times.

my x100 is dying. xt2 or xpro2 might be my next purchase. d750 shutter too got damn loud for my style of street photography.
