Don't you live in New York? The comic con should be the go to spot. But the lighting was really bad and inconsistent but overall I had fun but my feet were killing me lol.

I got an Ape Case insert for my work bag of late and bringing my camera to work daily just gives me something relaxing to do at lunch.

I got an Ape Case insert for my work bag of late and bringing my camera to work daily just gives me something relaxing to do at lunch.
I have a job and pretty much refuse to take off from work to be trapped in a dome with a bunch of smelly nerds.
I wish we had a discord or something it would be pretty cool.
I don't blame you. I was shocked I didn't smell that many bad people while I was at supercon and I live in Miami.
because the threads are active. If the discord were active, there'd be less posting in the thread. Problem that all the sports communities have. Besides, sharing photos is better here in the forum.
Never knew about it lol.
hmm I guess your right.
The A7RIV has already been confirmed, I know the other is one of the RX series cameras which I don't care about at all. Another seems to be the A6500 replacement using the A7 styled body and new battery and the fourth camera is a question mark.
I was up that night but completely missed it, feels bad mann
Which primes. I don't lust after Leica. Photography is too much of a job for me to even want to blow money on that. I would like a Q2, but not at 5 grand.
I would buy a Leica just for me, instead of a fast car for example. As both things won't happen, I'm safe lol
I got the 14mm F2.8, 23mm F1.4 and 56mm F1.2. Pretty much my dream setup. Well, I REALLY miss my 135mm F2 Canon I used before with a 5D II. So it's possible I'll get the 90mm, too. (it wasn't released yet when I bought the Fuji)
I don't miss the size and weight of the Canon though lol. That was the main reason I switched, my kids changed everything ;)

If I got Leica money then I have GFX money. Leica doesn't add enough over anything I currently have to justify the purchase. Bruh get the 90F2, I fucking love that fucking lens. Get an X-T3, slap the 90F2 on it and it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Here's the last set that I posted yesterday using it.

Just think of them as X-T1's on steroids with a AF joystick and better AF.
These people were walking:
XT032072 by Marcus Beasley, on Flickr
XT032068 by Marcus Beasley, on FlickrThe X-T3 has to be way better than the X-T1 for these types of shots.
The a7RIV looks great, but I don't need or want that kind of resolution. I was also hoping for 60fps 4k and for them to finally make the screen be able to flip around. I have no idea why they are stubborn with that screen design. I'm really glad to see the EVF improving in screen quality. Honesty, the EVF is one of the best things about mirrorless cameras. Being able to clearly see your true exposure and focusing and other details in real time makes an OVF seem ancient in comparison now.
They'd have to completely redesign the internals of the camera body for a flippy screen. It's not just a thing you quickly throw in there. If it's not economical they ain't doing it. Period. EVF's are great and quite frankly the true selling point of mirrorless, though with indoor flash work EVF's are a nuisance and quite frankly you have to turn off the exposure preview stuff to even be effective since you can't see shit if you're stopped down too much.
How are you guys with photography in the sun?
How you guys feel about it and what you looking for if you're taking photos on a sunny day.
I kind of find it boring and have been avoiding it, but I'm trying to change my mindset about it and start trying to do more photography on sunny days. Got to make the most of the summer days.

I often go to gardens or parks, woods, etc and find a shady spot. If you're lucky you can get some dramatic contrasts between foreground light and a dark background.
Like below:
Wild Daisy by A.T., on FlickrIt's a day to be brave and hunt for shadows! 😁
I used a Leica M6 with a film scanner for several years before getting my first serious digital camera. I would totally recommend it if you just want to have some fun with a Leica camera. It's probably the my favorite camera ergonomic wise. The new M10 comes close but I don't have six grand.
Now I use an old Leica M9 along with my A7ii. I have a M adapter for the A7 so both cameras can share lenses. I only have Zeiss and Voigtlander M lenses though, since Leica lenses are way out of my price range. Overall I think I spent less on this setup than if I've bought the comparable E mount lenses. Although I have to live without autofocus which I'm fine with.

More and more impressed by the old Zeiss. This is easily more than 50 feet away at night. Manual focus. They are sitting on a goldmine, just bring out an AF X mount version. I don't know if the Milvus is any good, but it must be.

Went out for a walk to get coffee today, brought my A6500 with a Canon 24-105 on it. I was spending the walk deciding if I needed to buy an A7iii finally.
Photos came out nice, but I bit the bullet and bought an A7iii bundle just now. Going to borrow the 24-70 and 70-200 GMs from work for a bit to break it in when it arrives this week.

Oh thank god there's good stuff in here. I had like two different styles while I was editing this set.
I think I like the B&W better but the whole set is pretty solid.
Regarding the first B&W cloud cover just randomly happened while I was taking the picture and jacked up my exposure and I just saw the shadows it created and just rolled with it. It was hot we were tired and we didn't even shoot for too much after this.

It's been one month since I went to Germany and yesterday I finally finished looking at the pictures. I tried to edit them out on Lightroom just for fun and learning sake. Hopefully I did not go overboard.
Colour fits Berlin so I pushed the colours a bit (hopefully not to much). Also I went to watch the 24hr Nurburgring as I am big motorsport fan. Leaving some of these here as well.
I would be happy to receive opinions/advice as I am still kind of a newbie, especially in the editing part.

I was in Berlin and Munich last year. Would love to do Nurburgring with a telephoto lens. As it is Berlin is a very interesting place to shoot due to the architecture, graffiti and people.
So in general, you wanna focus the viewers eyes somewhere, so keep that in mind. It's either a specific thing or scene that should make sense. And the less clutter the better, more aesthetically pleasing. With Nurburgring, I see that you were able to get very close to the track, but it's just the track itself, which isn't that interesting. Waiting till a car came around would have been better. I do like the one with the car heading straight, that's good. I think you also missed out on doing some experiments with panning, a track is one of the places you can do that:
DSCF4294_2 by TIKI, on FlickrAnother for me is one objects low to the ground, like sports cars, typically if you also get low to the ground, you get a more dramatic angle.
DSCF9261_1 by TIKI, on FlickrI like the last one, as well as the one with little graffiti wall on the foreground.
