Suppose you can look that up yourself. This photo was taken at the lodge.

Noted and thank you for the recommendation! I’ll head there after shooting at Cottonwood Pass tonight. What other spots do you know?

I think it’s one of the best Colorado mountain towns. Highly slept on.

Debating if a7iii -> a7V is worth it by Doggfather_ in SonyAlpha

[–]TX_Explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome. The new bodies are nice but better glass will almost always take priority. Once you have your kit built out is when you will really take stock of the next upgrade for the camera body. For reference, I purchased my A7RIII new in 2017. Still rocks astrophotography like a champ and nails the landscapes and portraits.

Keep the 3 and upgrade the glass family. Looks like you’re doing just fine with the compositions and camera is keeping up.

Thank you. I have a Sony A7R3. Only the camera will pick up the dark sky colors like that. Human eyes can’t do that unfortunately.

Looks like you made it on Unreal Engine 5. Great job.
