I love the mood of this image, btw!

Have you ever dialed in the exposure manually? I find these tricky situations are easier to tackle if you can dial in things exactly for that moment. I like to set my shutter speed to indicate the style (soft or sharp clouds, movement or not) and then choose my aperture..again to determine the look. The ISO then can be chosen to get the image just the right brightness. I have always struggled with any priority mode!

The biggest for me is the weight issue. I shoot one handed so often, my carpal tunnel appreciates a lighter set up. I think the a7rc would be great for a traveler who popped that and one or two primes in their purse.

Gorgeous! I have a UK friend that lived in UAE for a while and yes, the heat was something else!

Epic, PM-R!

That definitely makes life better, haha! My still life images are usually very close to sooc. Light is everything!

Yep, I am right there with you!

Ok, so I only had my hands on the new a7CR for about three hours and flowers were scarce on the mountain at Kando, but I did find a thistle. 😂This has me rethinking my love affair with my a7R5. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE my a7R5 and have shot with it everyday for over a year, BUT I shoot one handed all. the. time. I hold a flash with the other hand and the CR is substantially smaller and lighter. If you want all the resolution and a small package, you might want this camera. My carpal tunnel is begging me to sell something to get this one. 🙂

I love this! I actually live in a little town called Heron Lake and the blue heron is a common friend here. You inspire me to get out there and shoot!

Honestly, working with light will really challenge the diversity of your images and do nothing but good things for your work! Flowing with the light and putting your mark on it is a goal for every photographer. I’m definitely not rigid in my style as our mark in our work really is this essence that underpins each image, beyond the superficial style.

Um, I never part with glass so my gear closet is kind of heaven. 😂

Happy Sunny! I love the little details that 60 megapixels provide. ❤️

Oh my goodness! This is stunning!

I am just loving your dahlia images! 🔥

Isn't Yellowstone amazing? I would love to go back. I was stuck in a park bathroom for an hour once because a buffalo was usual the drinking fountain outside the door. 🙂

Thanks!

I miss birth photography. I did that back in 2007ish and it was so fun, but the hours were terrible, haha!

Love these, Drew! I like to use a flash in a 24 inch diffused umbrella to pop on my main subject. I haven't used the Rotolight, but it looks interesting!

Yep. I guess bracketing lets you use less light in theory, as you can use a slower shutter, but I'd like to use it with strobes and just get the best and sharpest deep depth of field possible.

I have TWO. I know, I know...consistency, but I have two and I won't budge. 😂 I have cheerful Caroline and dark and moody Caroline. I like both for different reasons. The light and colorful is fun for uplifting bright and airy rooms (I make art for short term rentals and they often want bright colors); while the dark and moody are perfect for a more elegant space.

I wonder if it is embedded? It would be nice to see that!

Nice!!

Woot!!! Love this, Brooke! ...and yeah for the bees!!! I just ordered 48 trade packets of pollinator varieties for a new pollinator garden AND used my grant money to get hundreds of new plants too!

Is there a way to do this with strobes? The bracketing happens so fast, but there must be a way? Has anyone used strobes for this? Are there settings I need to change?

These are gorgeous!
