Would anti-flicker help, or is this something else?

I love all the air shots! Winter is growing on me. 🙂

I have several on-board microphones and the PCM-A10 as well. I want to record sounds with my nature videos. Which Sony microphone (any of them) would be best for this?

I love all the little details! This is making me long for summer!

I usually try and shoot manual with manual ISO. Macro can really fool the sensor! I find aperture priority and auto Iso tend to shoot the ISO higher than necessary. Steady shot is a must! I like to use either wide focus (for times when things are moving and I just want something to be in focus) and flexible spot small for finer work.

This is a huge can of worms...what do you all think? I make a good chunk of change making AI things that are not photography related, but I want to make my photography stay relevant in this new world of digital creation. How is Sony merging alongside these new developments? I'd love your thoughts and insights! My initial thoughts are these...AI cannot be personal. It cannot capture authentic and real moments, even if it tries to create simulations of such. A wedding, birth, or tender moments between people cannot be faked. Video of real moments cannot be faked. My biggest concern is for fine art photographers (like me) who make things that are easily created with AI. How do I make images that fill the need and cause the impulse buy of a person who likes floral beauty? or people who make composites? I can see AI filling in so many gaps for composite images that very little photography will remain. As Adobe integrates this tech into their products, like Photoshop, I can see the lines blurring to the point of not knowing where photography ends and imagination begins. Thoughts?

I'm curious what people struggled with the most when starting in with photography. What was your struggle?

So good! Thank you!

an apron!

I agree with Tony. I have had students with cameras that are far beyond their ability and without the green button, they would not know where to start.

Great idea!

I would have said back button focus, but most of our cameras do that out of the box now. I guess turning off the focus with shutter is the first thing I do. I like to map silent shutter too.

I was first influenced by a fine art photographer, Tami Bone. I love creative photography, but more of my influence has come from 18th century artists than photographers, I guess!

Thanks! I was guessing that may be the way it would be.

I'm a little confused, but I am always looking for an IG alternative. 🙂 I am a little unsure what the Sony Creator's app is all about though. Insights, anyone?

Thank you so much!

Gorgeous colors!!

I got that one the other day...looks pretty straight forward. Thanks!

Thank you!!

Yes! Stunning!

..and I didn't even know bright monitoring existed! I want to do astro this summer...so thank you, Don!

I am scared to map anything to the trash can, haha!

I was just using the Nanlites at the flower show. They are pretty powerful!

Love the perspectives!

Yes!! I want to do time lapses of flowers that open in the morning and close each night.
