Edit-222 by nunsofanarchy, on FlickrHey everyone, I've been following the photography threads for a while, but I'm happy to finally be able to post. This might be slightly cheating since these photographs weren't exactly taken in the last couple of months, but here they are nonetheless.

Flickr and most photo sites will allow you to search by camera, lens etc. Also you can google image search the camera and model.

Hey y'all, I'm not sure where to ask this, so here goes.
I have Adobe CC and two PCs that I'd like to be able to edit from using Lightroom. I also have a number of VSCO packs, installed on both machines.
I'd like to "sync" EVERYTHING--that is, I could edit a photo on my Surface Pro 3 using Lightroom/VSCO, and then when I check it on my desktop, it has my adjustments/settings saved.
I have OneDrive, which lets me access the same set of photos, as they are synced across both computers...but I'm unsure how to get my actual *adjustments* to sync. Any ideas?

Looked back at an old picture of mine and it's indeed light sources that have a triangular shapeGuess, the fact the we see only one tripped me off.
Amazing, I thought it was just a random sparkle haha.

I had the idea yesterday driving home but I am not yet pleased enough by the color tones. I think I went to my building roof a bit too late.
Holy crap that is stunning.
I am not familiar with Adobe CC, but in regular lightroom, the adjustments made to photos are saved locally on the machine that made them. You have to sync the library folder to all other machines to do it.
My guess it is probably similar in Adobe CC but I am not sure.

Thanks! Sounds like I just need to track down that folder and reassign it somewhere in my OneDrive.
That would work. If its anything like regular lightroom its under c:\users\%username%\adobe or pictures\lightroom
Lightroom adjustments are stored in the catalogue, but with Photoshop I think the only way you'd have access to the edits are if the file is saved in a format that supports those steps (PSD I assume).
You can move the catalogue to OneDrive, but someone mentioned to me previously that it might be a problem if you have it open in two places at once potentially causing inconsistencies in the database.

Of course this will be a problem, onedrive (or any other of these service) can't resolve conflicts on it's own. And you'll have conflicts if you get out of sync (for whatever reason)
Not to mention the filesize of the photos and the catalogue, it will take some time to sync them.
If you decide to do it regardless, be sure both computers use the exact same location for the photos on your hard drives, Lightroom will not find them otherwise.

Beautiful. I'd have to hike across continents for locations like that. :'(
Yep. I'm very lucky to be able to live in Hawaii. I've been hiking once a week for a few years and still discover new locations all the time.

Lightroom in Adobe CC is just vanilla Lightroom.
The wife and I went to the fish market in Barbados, had a great time and got some great fish.

Fiance got me a new camera for Valentine's, an X-T1 to upgrade my old X-E1! The autofocus is such a huge difference! Tried a quick shot right now, looking forward to trying it out more this weekend.

Thanks. As I said, I am not really satisfies with the colors. So I went back to the roof but the light was not good on the Burj Khalifa today. However, lots of bird flocks around.

For a person that wants to get into photography, what's a great camera to get?
I'm using a Sony a6000 as my first. Loving it.
Here is the camera hardware thread.

That said, you really can't go wrong with any camera. What people probably need to know is, what is your budget, how serious are you looking to get, what kind of photography, does size matter to you?
For instance if size matters, any of the mirrorless options from Olympus, Panasonic, Nikon, canon etc would work well if you value taking your camera with you everywhere.
If it doesn't or if the best autofocus is a requirement you might want to look at full size DSLRs.

Any particular reason? :V
Thanks! I'll check that out.
For those questions:
- Not entirely sure as of yet.
- Serious to a point of wanting to do so, and see where it goes from that.
- Things of like nature, night time shots, up close photography.
- Size definitely does not matter.

Figure out a budget and go from there. if you want to get more serious, remember you'll be investing in a system and expand with more lenses from there.
You could always go to a store and touch different cameras and see if there's one that feels better in your hand or your enjoy holding better than another. Play around with the dials and etc. too.

budget is the most important thing. Also your knowledge of photography. I know that you're starting out but do you know the basics of composition, f-stop, focal length etc. yet?
For example the three interests you listed require 3 different set of gears (3 different lens and maybe some lighting equipment) and can be very expensive
If I were to start all over again, I would probably first get a serious compact (a la Panasonic LX7). Don't use the automatic mode, start exploring the different modes, when you master the basics (aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity, exposure compensation, processing workflow) and outgrow the camera, you can buy another one.

Photography-gaf,
I've been really interested in photography lately so I was thinking maybe it's time that I get a camera. I have a camcorder that I've been using for video, but now I wanna upgrade. I'm considering the Nikon D3300 for it's price tag, but the Sony A6000 looks interesting too. I'm trying to stay under $700 in terms of budget so I'm leaning more toward the Nikon. But then there is also the Canon 100D which seems to be in the same category as the D3300. What do you guys think?

Honestly for me the a6000 is a no-brainer for anyone seriously interested in starting to learn photography. It's compact, offers the most features for the buck and most importantly (for me at least) it allows the use of virtually any lenses through the use of an adapter.
I've found there's nothing better to learn photography than using old cheap manual (but still great!) lenses and force yourself to learn the basics.
So I just managed to pick up a Sony A5100 in an amazon lightning deal for £279 (would have loved the A6000 but not for nearly double the price of the A5100 Amazon deal) and have also manged to nab the E Mount 50mm F1.8 Prime lens from ebay for near on half price.
I'm a complete photography noob so at the moment I'm just going about snapping shots in automatic mode and practicing my composition and experimenting with the new prime lens and the kit lens that came with it (16-55mm f3.5-3.9). The 50mm f1.8 seems to be a VERY flattering lens, letting me take close ups and portrait style snaps that look quite impressive considering its in auto. What I really want to do though is start learning to get into the nitty gritty of photo taking and getting to know the manual controls and what they can do for me. Does anyone have any online resources or books they really recommend for teaching me the basics and advancing from there? A quick google brings up loads of the various tech sites that just seem to copy paste info from each other. Looking for something a bit more in depth and made for than that really.
Appreciate any other advice as well! Any accessories to buy? Any other lenses to look out for? etc etc

Thanks for the advice. Would stock lenses be good enough to start with?
