Hello everyone, as the title suggests, I have not yet found a way to photograph my watches from a 90° angle without seeing a reflection of my fingers or the lens of my iPhone in the black of the dial. Here's a quick illustration: It turned out to be a stable photo, but unfortunately you can see my fingers. It feels the same here and the more I try to take photos at a 90° angle, the worse or more present the reflections become: [ATTACH...

Hello and sorry in advance if this is a stupid question. I decided to do something with Arduino. As a project I chose a kind of M&M dispenser. I would like a stepper motor to rotate at the push of a button, to which a wheel is attached with a kind of chamber embedded in it. Sort of like chewing gum machines, with the difference that the rotation is not carried out using muscle power, but with the help of a motor. Could you connect a stepper motor... Can you connect a stepper motor to an Arduino Nano ..read more

I have a standard 18-55mm lens, as well as a 75-300mm zoom lens. I have been interested in photography for about 3 years now, and bought this camera about 2 years ago.

Good afternoon! I had an unpleasant incident. My samsung 64 gb sd card from my camera is not working. There was important material on it. The card is not displayed in the camera itself. If you connect the card to a computer, the system says the card is damaged and needs to be formatted. After a bit of googling, I realised that special programmes were needed to repair it. I even tried a few, but didn't get the desired result .... Does anyone know how to help me ..read more

In college in the 70's I worked for the University as a photographer. I had 2 Nikons , an F and an F2. One guy on the staff had 2 old Leica's (m2's I think) . They were very quiet as rangefinder cameras are. Now 50 years later I'd like to get a Leica. Any advice ..read more
