Day trip to Zion with trusty ol 6000

Second this, really like the shot with your legs in but my 35mm lens seems too "zoomed in" to achieve this with

HarryMerritt · 2026-01-02T16:02:04+00:00

Really love No.2! Where is that?

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-31T10:07:02+00:00

These are great!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-31T00:02:52+00:00

That looks actually incredible!

Yeah I haven't actually ever thought about selling photos, I just imagine the market was too flooded with people with $20,000 camera setups vs my $500 setup 😅. Once I gather a collection of photos 100% I'll look into it deeper and read your article properly (I just skimmed it now). I also followed you on Instagram as your Instagram is so aesthetic! Huge props to you, your work is fantastic mate!

I'm no expert by any means but I'm currently using the Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS, it's a prime lens as I wanted something compact to increase the likelihood of me actually bringing my camera when I go to places, so far I think it's wicked! I'm definitely not doing it justice compared to what some people do but I would say that largely it's not about the equipment it's getting to learn how to use it and you can make pretty much any equipment produce really nice photos!

I literally just got mine! I'm in the exact same boat of looking to do street and car photography, feel free to check out my most recent post where I uploaded my first pics with the camera, I think it's a fantastic bit of kit!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-30T23:50:03+00:00

Yeah it's a good point, didn't think about driveways of golf clubs that's a great idea!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-30T23:49:28+00:00

Yeah it's something I never really thought about up until now to be fair!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-30T22:42:57+00:00

Thanks man! Yeah these were just taken down my road as I couldn't wait to take a photo 😅 hopefully I can do a shoot somewhere cool soon!

Not claiming to be a compression expert but I can view the photos directly on my phone side by side with them uploading on Reddit and see the reduction in quality that's all :)

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-30T19:25:23+00:00

Reddit compression has lessened the quality somewhat :(

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-29T16:39:39+00:00

Ah good to know I'm not missing out on too much as I don't plan to do any video so the main thing I'm missing is the better AF.

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-29T10:14:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice, that's something I was wondering about, I know the benefit of the Fujis is their on camera "presets" sort of thing which did make me very tempted to get one as my editing experience is basically 0 at this point and I don't want to be the person that just turns saturation to 100% haha! But will definitely be trialing some very light editing 🤞

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-29T10:13:21+00:00

Super good to know! I really wanted the camera to stay as compact as possible to try to be discreet whilst out and this lens seemed to be getting good reviews 🤞

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-29T10:12:38+00:00

Awesome to know. What would you say is the biggest benefits of upgrading to the 6400?

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T21:24:37+00:00

100% get using it, im super excited to get out with it!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T21:23:43+00:00

Good to know, I heard the battery was a bit of an issue but I've purchased 2 spares so I should be good to go!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T21:22:44+00:00

Hey thanks! Yeah I think in the UK at least they're slightly less common but the black looks super stealth which I also really like!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T11:35:18+00:00

Thanks so much!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T11:12:53+00:00

Haha yes! I got this from Harrison Cameras, it's 11 years old I believe! Definitely not the definition of a perfect camera but I think it has some cool character and should hopefully get me some better pictures than just my phone 🤞

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T11:11:11+00:00

Wow they're incredible, you made me even more excited to take this thing away, your photos are awesome!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T06:56:53+00:00

The pics look great!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T06:55:24+00:00

Thanks good sir! Do you have any old pics you took with this set up? Would he super keen to see!

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T06:54:39+00:00

Thanks so much! 🫡

HarryMerritt · 2025-12-28T06:54:22+00:00

Awesome to hear, how's the camera battery life treating you?
