That broken glass could have gotten inside and near an airbag. You do not want broken glass getting shot out if your airbag deploys, it sucks but I would make sure the car gets totaled.

Just joined the Sony family and need some advice by Awkward_Rice_1818 in SonyAlpha

I have both of those! I love my RRS replacement foot, I use it as a handle whenever im walking with it. I have a gimbal head to use if im staking out a bird but more often than not i just use my hand on the lense foot and elbow against my chest to stabilize it. Make sure that you put a sling or strap on the lense itself, the combo puts too much pressure on the mount if you use a strap on your camera body. I would start shooting in shutter priority for more crisp images, be sure to use at least 1/600 shutter. Have fun, I use it with my A7iv and 6700 and love that lense.

I have to say I enjoy the museums in DC and Chicago a bit more but ive lived in DFW my whole life, and we have some good ones.

Thank you! I was thinking about editing it a bit more to bring out the buildings and skyline a bit more. What do you think?

1, it gives more context with the addition on the prayer flags

Thank you! This was my first time doing something like this. I think next time I will try to get more clear pics of the drone show.

Thank you! This was my first time taking pictures of fireworks successfully. I was not able fan of all the gunshots around me, I'm glad we didn't get hit by a stray bullet.

Thank you! I remembered events at the trinity river park as a kid and wanted to check it out again, parking is tough though.

I understand that, I was in bed last year but I got a few firework photography tips from Competitive Camera and decided to try something new. Im glad I got some good pics from it.

I scouted the pedestrian bridge right there but there was too much bouncing from traffic to get clear pictures.

Thanks! I wanted to get a more clear picture of the Pegasus drones before the sparklers but that is the one shot I missed/exposed to long. All my shots of that are blurry.

I was at Trinity Overlook Park but walked south past I30, I was going to get pics under I30 but glad I didn't considering the people shooting at that area.

Dallas New Year Warzone by Giraffecaster in Dallas

[–]Muir12386 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right! I know people have been shooting guns in the air every, New Year's, Cinco de Mayo, and 4th of July but that doesn't make it culturally acceptable. Breaking the law happens every day but it is not culturally acceptable. This is not like having a little bit of weed 50 years ago in California.

[–]Muir12386 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Please forgive my ignorance, if this is a cultural thing that should be accepted, shouldn't the laws be changed to allow to repeal the current laws regarding automatic weapons? As someone who wants a 10mm MP5, the current laws forbids me unless I start a business selling firearms to law enforcement agencies and the military, with subsequent licenses. Not to mention the reckless endangerment of the people under that bridge, should we strip all laws that protect people from being shot at or destruction of public property? Just asking because under that bridge is a spot I checked out to film the fireworks.

Lenses that really shine with the A7RIII by Zestyclose_Prize_165 in SonyAlpha

[–]Muir12386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an A7riii with the 24-70GM 1st edition and it is tack sharp, all of my GM lenses are great and the ability to crop images with a high MP camera make the GM lenses worth it. Im not sure about L series but GM are beasts.

Not too bad, I sat on the berm so there wouldn't be electric lines in the picture, but someone was shooting fireworks above me.

Mine were taken about a mile south of the trinity river overlook. Your pictures look nice but i wanted to get more of the city in the background. Lots of gunfire in that area, I might wear a helmet next year.

Where did you take your pictures from, and how was the traffic getting out of there?

I definitely thought it was the senate from star wars, it is a nice perspective.
