    Beginner Aperture question

    It's like one chef says you should only use two pinch of salt, yet another chef suggest one pinch of salt. Which chef is right? My advice... Use either manual or aperture-priority setting. Open to maximum (the lowest f-stop number) and take a few photos, then turn to next f-stop, few shots...

    Upgrade or not

    Think of how computers work in a real world experience... You're at your desk (either at home or at office), and you have too many paperwork all over your desk. You found that the work you're doing sometimes feels like a long day? That would be because you're wasting your time lifting up a lot...

    Home address on sat nav/car app

    Are you familiar with the phrase, "If in doubt, don't do it."? So if you're feeling unsure about putting in your home address, then you don't have to. There's no rules saying you must put in your home address, is there? It is your Sat Nav, you do what you want with it. Or you could just put...

    Is AI the end of photography?

    Right now, as I type my option here, there is an ongoing wildfires around Los Angeles. I've been catching up on BBC News's website, following some other newspapers on Twitter (now known as X), and seeing them on Instagram. I see real life photos of the events that are happening. They're real...

    What do Google know about your photos?

    I thought to try some more fun with the AI software the OP mentioned in the original post... A downloaded stills photo of David Tennant in his role as The Doctor. Result according to Google Vision API: It mentions that the man appears to be Caucasian, middle-aged, also suggested based on his...

    Is 16RAM or 24RAM best for LR & PS?

    Think of RAM as a real life furniture like a real life desk or a real life dinning table. The more application software you have open and running, like iTunes, browser, Microsoft Word, etc., etc., in addition to having Lightroom and Photoshop open and running, the more it slows down. Just like...

    Photographing a couple.

    I see from the date you posted your topic, and your mention of when they will get married. So I guess, I'm too late for to give you some advice and wisdom, but just in case for the future, I thought to give some wisdom... Never mind what camera and lens you have, great photos do not come from...

    What do Google know about your photos?

    I thought to drop a photo of a guy in a dark suit, taken in a studio, into this website you suggested, and see what the AI says about it. It did say that the man "appears to be middle-aged, Caucasian" and also "His attire suggests a professional occupation" Well, there's the problem, it's not...

    Photography PC upgrade

    Common mistake. When either the operating system or the application software start to slow down and take a while to do their stuff, most people always assume it's time to buy a new computer. But that would be like when your attic is full, it's time to buy a new house. Always consider doing...

    Beginner's questions. Raw or J Peg, and edit advise.

    That often depends on what subject you are shooting. While it is true that RAW is better than JPEG, mainly due to the fact that RAW, as the name implied, is simply a raw material photo, so you can apply the right white balance, colours, and all those stuff afterwards in a computer. Whereabouts...

    How did you learn

    I'm a deaf person. In 1985 I decided I want to do photography as a career. But back then, many people discriminated against me by telling me I can't be a photographer because of the need to communicate. The teachers, career advisers, social workers, and even my own family weren't very...

    Beginner Advice for portrait kit

    While it is important to have a proper photographic kit for portrait photography, you need to remember that the equipment is only as good as the photographer. Even if you're worried about having the right or wrong equipment, you should believe in yourself to be able to get great photos...

    Beginner Nikon D50... good for beginner?

    The camera is just a tool, and cameras do not make the best photographs. It is the photographers themselves who make the best photographs. My suggestion to you is, if you want to do a beginners course, then go for it. If that's what you want, then do what you want. Be positive, believe in...

    Apple Pencil alternative?

    For me personally, the Adonit Jot is good enough. Unlike other stylus which sometimes have a big rubber tip that may kind of block some of the view on the screen. The Jot use kind of a transparent disc at the tip, so you could kind of see what you're writing on screen. Google for "Adonit Jot"...

    Lightroom subscription confusion ‍

    If you don't want online storage, then I would suggest the Classic. Personally I don't want to have my photos on the cloud. They're my photos taken by me, they belong to me, not to Adobe, which is why I don't want them on the cloud. Same with my documents, all my Word files on my own computer...
