Help me to learn product photography

mariah 16.12.19, 14:00
bonjour
un peu tard bien sur , mais pourquoi pas donné un autre avis .
si tu as la possibilité de trouver un club dans ton secteur , ce serait un bon démarrage, simple et peu coûteux
pour des cours , c'est plus de moyens demandés

To photo or not to photo.

Quote: EtherArts Photography 28.03.25, 06:02Starting photography seriously requires dedication, but it’s very achievable with the right mindset. Begin by learning the basics—composition, lighting, and camera settings—through online tutorials or courses. Practice consistently, experimenting with different subjects and styles to develop your skills. Investing in decent gear helps, but creativity matters more than expensive equipment. Stay patient, seek feedback, and enjoy the process—it’s a rewarding journey!

Hilfe- Rad für die Blende spinnt - Sony Alpha 6000

chris1107 17.08.25, 21:07
Quote: chris1107 17.08.25, 21:07Hallo zusammen,

ich habe mir als Anfänger eine Sony Alpha 6000 zugelegt. Als ich im Urlaub das Meer fotografieren wollte und leider kein Stativ dabei hatte sind mir ein paar Spritzer auf die Kamera gekommen.

Einige Wochen später spinnt nun das Rad für die Blende ( ich drehe nach rechts- es springt nach links-oder gar nicht )alles im M Modus.
Ich nutze aktuell noch das Standard Objektiv.
Kann mir jemand helfen? Kann ich die Blende auch anders steuern als am Rad ? Kann man das irgendwie fixen?
Gruß

How do I make Photoshop run faster?

Anila Jain 28.06.16, 10:14
To make Photoshop run faster, allocate more RAM (70-85% in Preferences > Performance), enable GPU acceleration, and reduce History States (20-30). Use an SSD as a scratch disk, close unused documents, and purge memory (Edit > Purge > All). For peak performance, use a fast CPU (Intel i7/i9 or Ryzen 7/9), 32GB+ RAM, and an NVIDIA/AMD GPU. Keep Photoshop and drivers updated, and disable unnecessary features like Animated Zoom. For large files, work in 8-bit instead of 16-bit when possible.

Lenses

sabrinaBBG 15.05.14, 14:20
None of these lenses are directly compatible with your Nikon D3100 without adapters, and they may not work properly.

* JCPenney 80-200mm & Yashica 28-80mm – Likely non-Nikon mounts.
* Pentax 2x Converter – Designed for Pentax, not Nikon.

For budget-friendly options, look for Nikon AF-S DX lenses like the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR or 55-200mm f/4-5.6G VR.

For your Nikon D3200, start with:

1. Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II – Great for everyday shots.
2. Nikon 50mm f/1.8G – Ideal for portraits and low light.

For more zoom, consider the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G VR II.

Which camera would be better for a beginner ?

mariah 10.11.19, 14:31
Choosing the right camera as a beginner depends on your budget and goals. Entry-level DSLRs like the Canon EOS Rebel series or mirrorless cameras like the Sony Alpha a6000 are excellent choices. They offer user-friendly features, good image quality, and room to grow as your skills improve. Start with something simple and upgrade as you gain experience!

Photo-related question

volkmank61 08.04.22, 10:40
For alternatives to Canon's Utility, consider Adobe Lightroom or Capture One for professional-grade RAW editing and organization. If you're looking for budget-friendly options, Affinity Photo or the free Darktable provide robust tools for editing and processing. For quick, AI-powered enhancements, try Luminar Neo or ON1 Photo RAW to streamline your workflow.
