@ReasonableConservative Thank you for posting this.

What kind of photographer are you? I don't see one single picture of Spider-man!

Anyone have advice for concert photography? I just got a 50mm f/1.8G Lens for my Nikon D5300 and playing with setting and it doesn't seem
1jess1ripper1
like they're coming out very clear (I haven't had a concert to bring it to but just practicing in low light settings)

You want the top notch lenses, better have a decent bank account.

False my ex was a photographer and still wasted all our disposable income on drugs

As a kid who has been taught photography, I now bug my parents for money for lenses. Just got my moms 130-300 f2.8!
IncorrektGramerNazi
130-300 f2.8 - oh yeah that one.. I completely understand what you're all talking about and I am fitting in well: gotta love that f2.8
thatwoodguy
Heavy, Try a 200mm 1.8
Pandycol
Is it the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8? Lucky bastard! Use it with care.
Licensedsmartass
I was about to ask the same. Never heard of 130-300
Pandycol
It's something older then I remember. I love my 120-300mm, and will never give it up.
Luminousitivity
I wish i had someone even remotely close that had an incling of an interest in photography just so i wasnt alone in this marvelous world!gz!
Straga27
Fixed aperture lenses are lovely I had a few Minolta and Sony ones that I sadly had to sell a number of years ago I miss them :( Enjoy yours
MagpieNI
...that sounds expensive as hell.
GolFoehammer
It is. Good lenses can cost a fortune, and this is most definitely where you get what you pay for.
CultofCedar
Holy hell that sounds like an expensive lens, a wide tele zoom must cost thousands. My mom got me a pair of socks once
TatersWhatsTatersPrecious
love this post
EllisD25
As far as protection goes, you're better off with a $5 lens hood than using extra glass that either ruins the shot or ruins your wallet.
LearnSomething
I've never had any issue with the protective filters and I usually buy the cheaper ones.
AlexxStratten
I thought I was done with buying camera stuff until the last event I shot when my Canon was knocked to the ground. Told it was unrepairable
PluckedDuck
Can I get one that doesn't leave circles on the photos?
wilima
You need to cut them out
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
That would be a Reverse Circle Filter (RCF). Filters out circles.
cypherneo
This comment brings new meaning to the term "circlejerk"
flyingskejaquita
The cirle is rem
flyingskejaquita
The circle is removed when you upgrade to the paid version
JackDoodle
No, Circles in photographs is the latest thing.

Oxymuncher

pirogoth7
No, photos only come in circles
ThrowawayUsername121
The lens is circular so obviously, the photo would be circular too.. Duh..
lordofthedice
This is why all photos of the Earth appear round, when it's really flat.
Funkypeeg
Every "filter" effect in this post is entirely done digitally in post processing.
Minty737
ND filters can be useful in landscape photography as it said, as post-processing can't quite retrieve all that light data. Unless you HDR.
Mickstah
A polarising filter is the only one here that cannot be replicated in lightroom
thisismynamehere
Well, the grads can also do stuff that can't be done in post, depending on your camera and how much the highlights are blown.
dashers
Bracketed exposure ftw.
thisismynamehere
True, but you don't always have that luxury, depending on the scene.
YeaahBuddaay
Monochrome + Colour Filters: I don't think you can achieve pictures as the Phase One does this way with it's ability to capture parts of IR
Funkypeeg
Shooting in Raw allows a lot more wiggle room than one thinks
photog
Some yes but when you're a professional editing hundreds of photos, it's about saving time in post.
sillyenglishknigit
Sorry, no. Can't capture the effect of a polarising filter, or a dark ND (i.e. 10 stop) with post, or at least not properly.
sillyenglishknigit
Plus using an ND grad to bring the highlights (or shadows) into the dynamic range of your camera.
Funkypeeg
You can bypass a gradient filter using multiple images with different exposures and blend them in post processing.
sillyenglishknigit
That only works if A) the objects in the image aren't moving (even tree movement is a problem), and B) you are happy to lose raw editing 1/2
Funkypeeg
not if you use average pixel intensity for your stack of images. moving objects will be blurred out.
sillyenglishknigit
after merging them; which I would generally still want to have through the whole process.
Funkypeeg
I'm talking about the images used in the posts. A nd filter can be mimicked by averaging multiple images.
sillyenglishknigit
You said the filter effect, not specific to each photo, sorry if I took your comment at face value.
Funkypeeg
Polarizing filter can be mimicked using local adjustment in Lightroom or local blending of a darker exposure of the same scene
FreddieAndersson
Or then just don't put unnecessary glass in front of your camera -photogrpher
NotOnTheRugMan
Agreed. Some of these are ridiculous and, or can be adjusted easily in post.
Serverdamager
I suspect neccessary is subjective.
sillyenglishknigit
Some of these are unnecessary. Some are very necessary, depending on the shot. Polariser, dark ND (i.e. 10 stop), ND Grad, even good UV.
FreddieAndersson
True
valaja
I'd claim that protective filter is useful, too, since it reduces the risk of accidentally ruining your actual lenses.
ReasonableConservative
Your $600 prime is not improved by that $10 filter. Only wear it if you can justify it's use.
LearnSomething
You should always at least have a protective filter on. Filters are cheap, lenses are not.
ReasonableConservative
Yep.
Straga27
Filters are by no means always required but a really good UV filter makes a big difference for Summer holiday photos especially for rookies.
PockyBonneville
I've had a bunch of lenses before hand and now I sold em all, just have the two primes a 21 and a 50 lol
OverpricedCrayon
hilarious.
maxdefault
I spent 13k on lenses last year and zero on weed. Thinking about it just make me want to get high.
Vedar
Hey I'm just like you but in reverse.
stercusmoriturussum
I could have argued with them - until the point where they called a close-up lens a "filter". Simply nope.
CaptainVolume
yawn
Vedar
You can get close up filters, i used to have one it just let you focus really close to a standard lens
Hammerhead777
They aren't talking about an actual macro lens, they're talking about a macro filter that screws to your normal lens like any filter.
cominginhot
full frame 50 prime and your first years (if not whole life) are covered..so a lot of room for drugs
chuckling
85 prime for me
Alycat27
Love my 50, it’s what I learned with and shot with up until now. I recently moved to a 24-70, so no drugs for a little bit ????
sillyenglishknigit
Learned on a Canon 50 1.8; now regularly walk around with a Zeiss 50 1.4 and 35 1.8; it's wonderful to have to think and not just *zoom*!
thatwoodguy
I have a few great Zeiss optics: 85 1.2, 28 2.0, 105 4.3, 1000 5.6 (Contrex mount :( ) Canon 70-200 2.8 II 200 1.8,
MagpieNI
I do wildlife, so 50 is rarely suitable for me.
omgohnoez
CROP CROP CROP!!! :P
photog
I mean that still only gets you to about 75mm equivalent. However, that is crop, not zoom. A 50 is a 50.
MagpieNI
Consider this: 10MP camera
omgohnoez
well damn...

TwoToneeRebel
Med school. What's money?
Vedar
Something you will have a lot of in a few years time
TwoToneeRebel
True but jesus if it doesn't suck ass right now.
geiokami
Cars, computers, guns, and animals. I will never have money :(
gamesthatiplay
Do you drive 2 cars at once like shoes or something? Sell one of them.
ICantBelieveItsNotAnal
That would mean choosing the daily or the race car, and driving around in a car on coilovers daily is never fun.
Vedar
Same as me.... I had more spare money when I was poor.
addms
That description fits me perfectly if you swap the gaming rig for watches.
DocVolt
Project car, i am an audiophile, 3000€ custom loop kabylake rig, collecting guns in Europe. I am broke

UrGrammasMonkey
I feel ya... 5 guitars, 7 trumpets, 3 computers, random music gear out the ass... and I cook for money ><
opkraut
Holy shit 7 trumpets? I can see one or two Bb's, and a C, but 7 seems like a lot!
BabyfacedDucky
If you add a piccolo trumpet then you've got 3 or 4..but yeah, 7...wow
UrGrammasMonkey
Bb trumpet, student Bb trumpet, C trumpet, A/Bb piccolo, Bb cornet, Eb cornet, Bb p-trumpet
KonaDarbles
It's never ending with music gear, have to spend more on a bigger house just to keep it all in
Grenther
2 basses, 1 guitar, gaming pc. I really need to get some decent amps for once & probably get some pedals... but first lets get my own place
KonaDarbles
Been downsizing my amps as I tour anymore so can't justify two 4x12's I recommend the boss katana if you want a combo plus--
KonaDarbles
It's got loada boss pedals built into it which you can edit via USB and make your own pedal chain
Grenther
Oh cool, I just have a horrible bass amp. Had another amp when I was part of a group I volunteered for but had to give it back when I 1/2
Grenther
So that's like a Boss Katana 100 combo (~€300)?
