While walking, I decided to bring my a7III with a vintage lens, a 44 Helios, totally manual, and even broken down piece of lens, but it gave me some amazing images, and, oh yes, I just LOVED how light the combo was. And also, been using a "preset", let's say, on my camera, so I can shoot in Black and white and see everything this way. It's so much fun honestly.
I'm still trying to find the right balance between a good wide angle lens that I can also use for astro, but without breaking the bank, and also, it has to be a light one...I love how these turned out! I think there's something so special about shooting in b&w deliberately. The soft quality here really makes the b&w even dreamier. How much are you doing in the way of post processing?

@Wojtsobi stunning as always! You're so good at letting the light guide the scene - whether it be golden light or blue light, it really enhances the story. Is that something you focus on when editing?

My absolute favorite moments during August were at Sony Kando Trip. Selecting just one photo from Kando seems impossible for me.
Stunning! Kando looked amazing! I love seeing the Sony community in action 🙂

@kevinmcox awesome!! The A1 is a dream camera of mine... but that might have to wait for a big gig or just save up 🙂 Can't wait to see more of your work!

@TrekRover of course! My experience as a grantee has been wonderful - I'm wrapping up my field work next month and I can't wait to share more images from my project with this community!

Right now it's just the
- 70-200mm f4 Macro G OSS II
Looks like a fun lens to have
I agree, it looks like a blast! I can't wait to see what people make as more people get their hands on it... they might just convince me to buy it!

Okay I'm loving these monthly photo dumps!
This past month, my big project was for a corporate client - the Lexus store in Richmond, VA wanted photos of their cars in iconic places throughout the city. I still have quite a few more days of shooting to do but here are some of the shots I've gotten so far! I've been using my Sony A7RV and Sony 16-35 GM!

Hey everyone!
I mostly work as a conservation photographer and the National Geographic grants have been an awesome way to fund some of my projects. The deadline isn't until April but they take quite a bit of work to pull everything together. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/society/grants-and-investments/?nav_click
Is anyone considering applying for this? What project would you want to do? Let me know if I can answer any questions based on my application experience!

Oh I would love to connect with more photographers in my area! I only moved here a few months ago and I miss my photo community 😭

Mt.Fuji with the pagoda shot. I think alot of us have seen this online but I managed to stick around for sunset and a little afterwards.
This is beautiful! Sticking around for sunset clearly paid off. I love the strong foreground, middle ground, and background

Thanks a lot @bmcdonough Here in Chile autumn is in the April-May season.
In the south of Chile, in the Araucanía region, it is very beautiful, there are many lands with native forests still, in the middle of valleys and mountains.I look forward to fall 2024
Here is a video I made in the fall of 2022.Wow, stunning! I can't wait to see more of your work! 😊

@kevinmcox wow I love your work! What gear do you shoot with?

Dang, that IS appealing! I often find myself in the field fumbling with a handheld flash. This is a stunning shot! Were there other features that stood out to you?

@Wojtsobi absolutely stunning! I love how rich the oranges turn out... is that your white balance or your post processing technique?

Hey friends! It was awesome seeing what you created in June so I thought we could do the same for July! This month I did a few corporate shoots (unfortunately I can't share those shots just yet). I also worked on photos for my National Geographic explorer project on lawn culture in the United States. I've been using a lot of close-up wide angle techniques, I love the storytelling element of that technique!
