Essential The Official Photography Thread

[Majestyx]

I'm late to the game, my fam who shoots out of ATL just told me that there are companies that have vacation photographers that people hire. I'm looking at IG like who is taking all these photos of peeps in vacation spots? I know it can't be all selfie sticks and tripods. One female had on her live that she was vacationing with her friends and had their own photographer.

Can you brehs recommend a camera with a flip out screen? Something not too expensive. Appreciate it.

Edit: not a DSLR. Some kind of rangefinder camera.

edit: I'm looking to give this as a gift for my nephew, what yall think of the Canon EOS M100?

that should work. But it's not really a range finder type of camera but it should be inexpensive.

also check out the Fuki X-T100.

Thinking about buying myself the dji osmo pocket, god its such a beautiful camera. The 4k quality is crazy and it fits right in your pocket lol...hell of a vlogging camera

 

[shutterguy]

Went to a Browns game not too long ago, surprisingly got the 70-200mm in. Gate security was like "I don't know if they are gonna let you in with that big camera, I'm not even gonna worry about it." . I'm thinking because I really don't feel like hiking 30min back to the parking garage. Atlanta fans were catching hell from the half all the way to our win.

Media on the field walking around with $10-$20K in gear.

And you know them L tele's ain't light. I took a 100-400mm L to the airshow, after a few hours I was ready to stash that beast somewhere until the Blue Angels started. Them boys on the Browns field looking like they wielding 500-600mm f/4 joints.

I went to a festival out here in New Orleans and there was a guy walking around with two cameras and lenses that had to be around 8-9k. Had me thinking about trying to rob him

Does anyone have any recommendations for arms or hotshoe mounts for external monitors?
I bought a cheap $10 one from Amazon that was trash.
Turned around and bought a $60 manfrotto ball head hot shoe mount and while it's built like a tank, the body turns even when the hot shoe screw and the bolt that goes into the bottom of the monitor are tightened.
I want something that will hold my Ninja Inferno tight without little to no chance of moving while still have the ability to loosen it and re-position the monitor as necessary.
I can live with the manfrotto mount but if anyone has any other suggestions I'm open to hear them.

Messed with that Manfrotto mount more and although it isn't perfect I've been able to angle it in a way that makes it very manageable.
I got my Sigma 18-35 and have been loving it.
I have the Sigma 50-100 on order but it's currently out of stock and not expected to ship until early January.
