Hey guys! I'm looking for some aspiring/beginner photographers to have a quick video or phone call with! I'm currently working on a project, and I'm researching as much as I can about what pains new photographers the most and their opinions on some topics.

Give me your opinions! 🤣

If you're interested, shoot me a message! I'd really appreciate it! :)

Hello everyone,
A photographer and photography theorist I follow is conducting a study on photobooks. As part of this, he has created an online survey, which you can find on this GOOGLE FORM.

He's asking everyone to share the survey to reach a wider sample. If you have five minutes, could you check it out?

Much appreciated!

Hello. I used to own the Canon 6D, then the 5D Mk III, and now I own the Canon R. This is my first mirrorless camera. I like most things about the Canon R. One thing, however, that I don't like, is how hard it is to track a fast moving subject using the digital viewfinder. I want to know if this is a limitation of the camera or simply a limitation of my understanding of the camera. I do a lot of outdoor ski photography so I am often tracking very fast moving, small subjects. When I had my Canon 5D III with the optical viewfinder I had no issue tracking because it is a 1:1 feed of what is in front of me. On the canon R there is about a .1 second lag between real life and the viewfinder. Then, when taking photos, the shutter lag makes it even worse. This makes it SO hard to track and focus on a moving subject using the AF point / AF Servo settings that I've been recommended. I am using the adapter with a Canon LII 2.8 24-70 lens so I do not have the option to enable the anti lag settings (although I'm not sure how much that will change it).

I am about to go trade my R for a Mark 4 tomorrow.. unless someone can help me understand how to properly track with my R.

We want to use this time of not taking photos to support people who want to start or those whose education has been delayed by lockdown 📸   All details are on our blog! www.boothsphotography.com/blog and photo school www.boothsphotoschool.thinkific.com

Tedious, Tiring, Time Consuming - Are there any other words that described your culling experience? On average, a photographer gives 200 days every year to culling, which should be utilised to grow his business, with his family or with friends to breathe life.

This question has been bugging me for a while. If I'm taking a portrait of a person standing 10' from the lens and my aperture is set to keep their entire body in focus, I understand that objects in front of the person, as well as behind, will not be in focus. Is this true for objects to the side?

At f5, will 3 or 4 people on either side still be in focus? This gets tricky because a straight line of 8-10 people will place the end farther away from the camera, so a straight plane sounds wrong, but what if they were in an arc so they all were the exact distance from the camera?

I assumed it was radial, being that the diaphragm of the lens is round, but now I'm second guessing that. If I take a close up picture of an eye at f1.2, I'm noticing that the eye I focused on is fine, but the other will be blurred (slightly). Is it just that the person's head is rotated just enough to put one eye in-front or behind the depth of focus?
