Lens, or camera?

While great ideas for street photography in general; I wouldn't recommend that in Europe, because of GDPR, especially not for stock photos.

A rule of thumb in analog days was: shutter speed = 1 / focal length ... or faster
With high pixel densities and crop factor I try to use shutter speeds faster than: 1 / (2 x focal lenght)

This should eliminate motion blur induced by camera movement; when the subject is moving too you probably have to use even faster shutter speeds, unless you want motion blur to show up in the image for artistic reasions

As long as there is no busy background where swirly bokeh could occur (unwanted for that kind of portraits in my opinion) I wouldn't rule out the Helios 44 lens. The focal length would be perfect and it would provide a faster aperture if need be.

That depends on the setting of the camera: If you use Av-mode -> the camera will set shutter speed accordingly.
In M-mode you will get overexposed images

Many thanks for all the nominations :o



Actually, I don't have a hat at all :)

This one was right there, waiting to be photographed. Someone else left it behind.

I might be mistaken, but if access to a homepage is not restricted for certain countries, every post is basically released worldwide, therefore a sue can be opened in any country; no matter where the 'offender' lives.

But if no money is earned through a copyright violation, I expect he will receive a cease-and-desist warning before it'll go to court.

Thanks.
It was taken with a K-3, so also a crop camera. ;)

When it comes to exposure you don't need to apply equivalence calculations (equivalent apertures are only 'interesting' to achieve the same depth of field; if you don't plan to switch beteen FF and crop cameras regularly it will save you some headache and time if you forget about equivalence altogether :D)

Having fun is the most important part indeed, enjoy your 'new' lens :)

For a milky-way image the lens will be too long and for the orion nebula it will probably be too short :D

That said: you will definitely find something to photograph, as it is a nice lens.
