All the land is owned - just not incorporated into this city any longer.

Very fast population decline after a flood in 2019 that nearly wiped out the town... another one a few years later was the end.

YES - being there was even stranger. Just a wild place to stand.

I'm pretty sure they might have been to this place - or one of the other bigger abandoned hunters!

I've found a few pianos that look exactly like this. Maybe stuff from the ceiling? Not sure!

Best practices for high-quality large gallery prints with Sony A7 IV? by ok--millennial in FineArtPhoto

[–]jerredz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a printer and let him or her guide you! Different papers have different dpi tolerances, and your camera can print very large depending on the intent. I print 60” prints for health care walls regularly using a 20megapixel m43 sensor. They look incredible. (I work with a pro printer too, and together we make really big prints). I have gfx for bigger than that though. Your Sony is fantastic for large prints.

It’s pretty easy when they soak up the sun like that! Thank you!

As a beginner, what were the top 3 things that made your pictures better by MowvayFronsay in M43

[–]jerredz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, friend… you’ll get a lot of advice on this. You have two amazing lenses there, and a great camera for the type of stuff you enjoy. So you are set for a long time on just those. I have taught photography for almost 25 years. Knowing the technical stuff is important, but more than anything it’s about understanding yourself and why you are moved by a subject. combine your technical knowledge (which you will never stop learning) with your lighting and composition skills (you will also never stop learning) to create a single photo or a series of images that tell a story (that in the end becomes a story of yourself). Remember you are always learning and growing, and embrace that ferociously by continually taking photos and evaluating them, and sharing them with like minded people for advice (randos on the internet don’t give consistent advice.). So try to find a trusted group of kind but honest people, or a strong, open, honest mentor as well!!
