Photography

I liked @blendan@blendan@lemmy.world's duck, and I wanted to show this pair.

This is the first house I've ever been jealous of. On the side of a canal in Yorkshire.

The photo is a bit shit, the foreground was a bit too dark so I edited it more than I'd usually like to to make it visible.

hey guys i need help and i think this community can; so im looking for a beautiful pic of a dark beautiful room of like a teenager or a young man, taken from a pc camera perspective, meaning not showing the setup but taken from it and shows the bed and some cool accessorizes and paintings on the walls. not necessary as described it here but something similar i think you guys know what i mean. i wann it to be real, not ai generated, cuz i wanna use it as a background of my green screen in my videos

In south Florida at this time of year we see lots of beached Portuguese man-o-wars. They can sting like a jellyfish, but are actually a "colony" of 4 separate polyps that all live together. Often just the bladder remains, but sometimes they'll still have their full array of tentacles, which can reach 10 feet (and will most definitely still sting you if you touch them)

In the middle of nowhere at Finnish Lapland. No roads insight. No people insight. Just silence and beautiful, calming lake

What do you guys think? Does this work? What would need to be changed?

Just wanted to share my Pixelfed account: @cedric@pixelfed.social

I like so much this network. A lot of awesome artists are sharing their work there. fan of the accounts @zhhz@pixelfed.social, @Alice@gram.social, @Cirillux@pixelfed.social, @Charlie@pixelfed.social, @arkadiusz@pixelfed.social, and so much more!

I'm a complete beginner with no photography experience but excited to get into it.

Budget: ~$500

Needs: High quality macro of all kinds (my main purpose for getting a camera in the first place). Secondary: portraits (full body / upper body). Tertiary to those is versatility for everything else as it's going to be the only lens for the foreseeable future. I'd also love for the lens to have all the latest features like autofocus and the such (if there's anything else).

I've done some research around macro RF lenses for R50 (ASP-C cropped sensor) and among the 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm it seems 35mm stands out the most for the above needs but since I'm on a tight budget, I need quality advice to make sure I'm not making a mistake here.

I know Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM is better due to 1:1, but it wouldn't be as versatile as 35mm and thus annoying to use for anything other than macro due to the effective 160mm on the crop lense, right?

I could theoretically get used lenses but it's difficult where I live. The EF to RF adapter would have to be without the ring (too expensive otherwise), and I might have real trouble finding the suggested proper older EF (or third party) lens. Plus, most used lenses here aren't much cheaper, even the really old ones, and I really doubt they'd be in good condition either. But for a really good recommendation I might consider it.

Total beginner here, looking to buy my first camera and looking for a lens that would be able to deal with the widest range of situations (a zoom one) all in one package. I've got about 600usd to spend on it and I'm fully aware it's not much, but I want to get a good start.

I can't buy used ones where I live (even from online platforms around the world), so it'd have to be new.

At the moment my goal is to take photos of pretty much everything: nature (apart from moving animals), landscapes, streets, portraits, objects (large and small), architecture, and I also plan to film videos quite a bit. Nothing fast moving and no sports though.

I'd love to shoot in close-up macro, too, but I understand it's not possible within one lens.

What could you recommend?
