Portraits lens recommendation

18 September 2017 - 05:44 PM

Hey! So I have a Nikon D7200 and I find myself doing a lot of portraits now. I am looking for SHARP images with amazing bokeh. Nikon/Sigma/Tamron etc. I don't care.

 

Price range is $1500 CAD/ $1250 USD

 

I don't care if it's zoom or prime, though prime is usually a bit sharper.

 

What do you recommend?


70-200 question

11 July 2017 - 04:16 PM

Hey guys so I am gonna be picking up a 70-200 in October ish time. I am thinking of either the 

 

Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 G2 or the Nikon 70-200 F4

 

I would be using it for portraits, my younger siblings outside and **concert photography** (**important**)

 

the f4 would be not letting in as much light BUT if the Tamron isn't sharp until f4+ then no point in the Tamron.

 

Which should I get?

 

I have a D7200 so it'll be more like 105-300


Blacklight photography question

01 June 2017 - 11:20 PM

Hey guys, I am planning a blacklight photo shoot and want to use strobes but don't have a ton of money. 

 

I was thinking of using 2 of these sync'd together with a UV filter taped on: https://www.amazon.c...PO6RVX7MC&psc=1

 

What do you think? Needs to be strobe because a continuous light would be way too dark and hot.


I currently have a Nikon SB700 but not sure if it has a UV protection filter in it so putting a UV filter on it would be pointless. but maybe I could use it to trigger other cheaper flashes?

File sizes

Hey guys, so sometimes when I am looking through my images on my PC, one image will be 25mb and the other will be 13 or so mb, though neither are cropped and both taken with the exact same equipment. Why is this?
