Storm over Mesa Verde This was taken 16 Aug 2018 from the side of the highway a little west of Mancos Colorado. The storm clouds looked so dramatic that I stopped to take a picture.
I've been taking pictures with my phone and really enjoy it. I want to buy a more serious camera and get more into this hobby. These cameras seem to have a lot of buttons and dials. With my phone, ...
Following from the previous related question, Migrate posts in?, and from the site proposal, we have decided to be selective about which questions, or at categories of questions, to import from Pho...
Taken just a few yards from my other photo, this shot from December 26, 2019 contrasts colorful streaks of dying daylight with the heavy brutalism of Lenox MARTA station and twin railroad tracks cu...
I took this picture from my campsite at Pennsic in August 2019 at Cooper's Lake Campground in western Pennsylvania, US. Pennsic attendees mostly do medieval and renaissance recreation (to highly-v...
I've started a similar Meta question to list the posts and/or types of posts to migrate in. Please add, criticize, suggest posts or categories of posts you'd like to see.
Shutter speed, ISO, and f-stop are the three variables you can control in the camera to adjust exposure. Changes in one can be offset by changes in another to keep the same exposure. However, cha...
Shutter speed. This controls how long light reflecting off of objects hits the sensor. The longer the shutter speed, the brighter the image. So a shutter speed of 1/50 would make the image bright...
I am looking for a program to turn a series of images into a time-lapse video. Would prefer a free program. Prefer less features and a straight forward process for making the video, don't need ...
One thing you can do is blur the background further. This is achieved by having a lower f-stop (you can think of it as aperture). If you are using a cellphone, this is the same thing as portrait mo...
Somewhere around the port of Barcelona, April 2010. The building on the left is the Hotel W; the clock tower is obviously much shorter.
It's going to be difficult to capture the shot because the setup's the people use to take these kind of pictures are done in such a way as to trigger the camera at the exact right time and the gun ...
My answer will focus on the use of the Macro lens alone. My experience with such is this lens by Moment: Note that the frosty filter is detachable in this particular lens. However, I'd recommend i...
I’m fairly active in the moderation queues at Photo-SE; I also have fairly strong opinions on this topic. Where can I buy this particular camera? Is this particular model a good camera? Is this ...
I am looking for a better rotating time for doing time-lapses like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BQpSa5Fgxs Would like, Steady movement. Fairly light so I can take it hiking. Un...
Something I have pictures of! The following picture of the Salesforce Tower was taken March 25, 2019 on my Moto X4. I was particularly struck by the reflection of the pink cloud fragments reflectin...
You could do it either way, but it is usually better to apply effects that depend on the size or resolution of the picture on the final-sized picture. This is assuming, of course, that proper anti...
Sorry but no. Contests are one of the easiest things for new members to join as all one really needs is a camera, and so I deliberately advertise them. I do think the feature request to customize...
I have a GoPro 9 and it has the option to wake at a specific time and take a photo/video/timelapse. However, some of the timelapses use 90% of a full battery (official GoPro model) and in the stand...
Rules that are always applicable are as follows: One photo per answer, and no more than 5 answers per user per contest. Post only photos taken by yourself/person with you. All entries should i...
There are a number of variables involved, including varying levels of compression. One big factor is screen size vs. image size. A picture displayed on a computer screen will often be resized to fi...
Some time ago I asked a question about photographing flames without them ending up fuzzy and blurry. I took this picture during Chanukah 2020, using manual settings on my cell-phone camera, but ...
Why? Probably because the photographer told the subjects to do that. Personally, I don't think it looks that great. The bottom picture seems better to me than the others in that regard, but I can...
I'm not quite sure how to make one that will be as resistant to impact or scrapes as an engineered one. Many large lenses are sold with fabric "socks" as their only protection, so you may be worr...
