Not really a beach this time, just volcanic rocks that form natural pools. I tried to work in the feedback I got on the last post and took a lot of time with trying out compositions on this one. Still didn't figure out the topic of a good subject though
I’ve been body shopping for the past year and a half after taking a hiatus from photography due to having children enter my life. Currently, my 2-3 time a week shooter is a Sony A7III. I rented an X-H2s for a week from lens rentals to try to give the two cameras a shakedown. I’m treating typing this out is my own form of...
Cool writeup! I myself haven’t recovered from young kids yet, so I’m still rocking a nikon d800, which is great for going out shooting nature/architecture by myself (which never happens), but less so for candid family stuff. Anyway it’s nice to read your experiences.
So sorry for the reply delay! But, that is nice to know that the more recent upgrades boil down to quieter/mechanical shutters etc. I guess I am not too worried!
But it sure would be nice to have something midway between a) the bulky D800 with very heavy sigma 12-24 or nikon 24-70, and b) my phone. :-D
Interesting points. First, yes about the F-mount lenses! I don't often use random old lenses, but, probably my most "successful" photo (big air quotes there) was when I needed a longer lens, which none of my "nice" ones are, so I slapped on an MF 135mm that someone had given me, and boom.
As for facial recognition, sports stuff, focus tracking, etc. -- I basically do most of my (non-casual/family/etc.) shooting on a tripod, at things that ain't moving (or if they are, like clouds or water, I'm using an ND filter to get that motion); so, a lot of those newer bells and whistles I don't really consider. I like lots of megapixels, low noise, a good lens, solid tripod, etc.
I use and love Affinity. Back on v1 I used RawTherapee to do the initial conversion, then AP for the “photoshop part”… but in v2 the raw conversion in AP is pretty good, so I just use that for my whole workflow.
Some recent shots I enjoy ( lemmy.world )
What do you think about the tri-photo format? I think it looks cool, but not sure what others think.

Since we're doing gear now: a Dad's take on an A7III vs X-H2s

fuck Adobe and fuck their licensing
I’m so absolutely sick of it.
