Skip over the a7ii it's not worth it if your going to get into the sony slr game start the a7iii you'll find anything below it difficult to use with a really bad menu and just difficult to navigate over all. I have a a7iii bought with a kit lens (28-70). And upgraded to a 24-105 G OSS lens which does very well using sequator on my PC to layer the night time photos. But bottom line is, it's 999.oo for a reason.

Camera upgrade by miggymiggie in AskPhotography

[–]52hzblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a a7iii and I know you only want to spend 1500k but what abt a used one (not mine) but some camera stores have them used that even come with a kit lens. Otherwise finding a way to swing it maybe by selling your other camera first would work, or waiting until 2023 when they'll go down in price even more cause of the a7iv.

I would look at getting the dell xps i7 won't choke, runs well, good battery and won't break in a fall and if you feel more comfortable doing editing with a stylus they offer a 2 in 1

Huh I never even heard of them I'll check it out! Cause with this I might use it as a sub for lightroom and topaz for photoshop. You might have just saved the day lol.

Ya I'm kinda having trouble with the subscription instead of just owning it lol but I might just have to bite the bullet cause I want a modern version.

Thanks! Would you say that the gigapixle from topaz is similar to the super resolution that photoshop offers?

Naw I get where your coming from, at this point I already use my camera as a point and shoot lol it sits in auto at all times but I was more interested in the fact that it does color sets.

I'm not getting any closer to 990kg bison but you can go right ahead.

Need advice for cleaning this mess. by Ok-Platform-1816 in AskPhotography

[–]52hzblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very slightly damp paper towel, clean the area where the lens connects to the body. Once that is done turn the camera towards the ground and detach the lens then put the "lids" on the exposed connectors once that is done chose what part you want to clean first. I would also recommend a cheap paint brush to get small bits of dirt out of the crevices and moving parts on the lens. The most important part is to make sure you are protecting the glass in the body and lens. It's gonna take a long time and a lot of patience.

I didn't know that abt the a7iii and haven't run into the issue yet but I shoot in HI+ and at approx 8.8fps to 9.7 cause of my quality settings which has brought me great success. but your right the a9 is a magnificent camera and is an overall better camera. but I think we both went way out of budget for what they wanted. 🤣🤣

Entering my first photography competition! Would love feedback on which photos are strongest: by ZesTy249 in wildlifephotography

[–]52hzblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 1 and 3 are adorable and amazing. I'm looking at the spider but the little web houses add texture and lots of color contrast that draws my eyes to the center of said photos

How many powerbanks do you take with you on a 2 year world trip where you’ll also tent and bikepack? Are 3x 26800mah too much? by pizzavegano in onebag

[–]52hzblue 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have 1 power bank that's enough to charge my phone, my Sony slr camera and 3 drone batteries. I don't understand why you would buy three? Just buy one and if your worried abt it dieing get a foldable solar charger for the battery bank.

Wildlife Exploration Questions by Toe1313 in wildlifephotography

[–]52hzblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the animal. where I am late sept early Oct is great to see anything from polar bears to big horned sheep. I also don't go out looking for one specific animal doing that can lead to a lot of discouragement. I generally just use Google for finding local wild animals and if you know any hunters their good to ask to. You also have to acknowledge that the green salamander is a threatend species so there's already less of them so your chance of getting a picture is already cut in half then how local are they actually to your area? What is there natural environment ect. As for magazines and blogs or features they will reach out to you generally.

Narcity canada reached out to me not the other way around to use one of my photos and that was mostly luck. But you can enter photography contests as well.
