A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Finding events for practice (alien.top)

Hello everyone I hope you are all well. I am constantly looking for local events (fashion shows,theatre plays, concerts) and I was wondering if I could just show up and take photographs? Will they allow me to? Even as a spectator or anything? I mainly lack friends and I want to practice as much as I can. Should I email before I go? If anyone has ever done this or has some info I would love to know. Thank you very much in advance.

That’s pretty cool! Do you use cable/wifi to get it from your camera to your phone?

I'm using a Nikon Z fc. I've got it set on Snapbridge to automatically send 2mp previews to my phone as long. Sometimes I need to load up the app at the start of a shooting session, but most of the time it just works. The jpeg processing on mirrorless Nikons is better than most people's Lightroom edits if lighting conditions were decent, so those previews are honestly what I use for about 90% of what I post.

I'll say that the camera to phone connections were absolutely useless in the DSLR days. They might have become more usable towards the later releases, but I never would have been able to do this 5 years ago on my D750.

Thanks I’ll have to try that out.
