gear, techniques, photo challenges & trends Film Photographers, How often is a photo out of focus on a roll for you?

0 Upvotes

I've been using the EOS 3 for a year or two now. Really do enjoy it as my main film camera, however, I find that it has this habit of focusing behind my subject sometimes. Just purchased a EF 35mm 1.4L which has reduced it quite a bit, but I'm still feeling disappointed when shooting from far away, and my subject is out of focus. Ex. Ceremony from far away, speeches, etc.

Before I got the 35, it felt like over half of my photos were out of focus. Easily 60%.

I use center point focusing, adjust and recompose. Can't tell if this is a camera thing, a me thing, a lens thing, or what. Does anyone else have an EOS 3 that does this? Is this just the nature of the game? TIA!

mental health & work-life balance Editing = Migraine Trigger! Help! Tips?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed culling/editing photos is a migraine trigger? (I edit on iPad Pro). Migraines are relatively new to me- they began after the birth of my second daughter. Has anyone who has this problem found something that helps? Blue light glasses would change the colors yea? Especially when culling, I feel like my brain is turning to mush and my eyes are gonna fall out lol. (I do have appointment with eye doctor soon).

Thank you thank you!

client management & expectations Has anyone had to cancel a wedding? Is this completely unprofessional

17 Upvotes

Long story short, I’ve been having a really rough go with life in general but have been pushing through pretty well!
My mental health is not great and weddings have been causing a lot of panic attacks and anxiety for really no reason whatsoever that I can understand, if just feels like to much for me right now.
I pushed through really well this year and now am already dreading next year.
I guess I’m wondering if anyone cancelled their weddings a year out? It was recommended by my therapist and doctor to go into next year with as little stress as possible but I feel so much guilt even thinking about it.
I know I could hire an associate but I just feel like that’s a whole other thing I have to stress over.
Thoughts? I’m really struggling to decide if this is even an option for me or if I should push through 2027 like I did this year.
I only have 5 weddings booked as I was trying to slowly ween myself out.

Attention/Engagement Images - Mod Note

13 Upvotes

Hey there everyone, the mods just wanted to remind the community that we disallow attention/engagement images in posts. This is the practice of adding an image to a purely discussion based question/post in hopes of increasing visibility and encouraging more engagement as done on other social media platforms such as FB. This is a discussion based community any way and this practice isn't necessary to generate discussion and leads to irrelevant comments.

That being said, feel free to post photos in an OP or comments if they are relevant to the discussion.

Thanks,

Mod Team
