I’ve taught HS photo for almost 10 years now. Today a student printed this. First time seeing a WDW image come out of my darkroom. Came off a 19 dollar Kodak plastic cameras, not bad for a 15 year old

“Honey, I want to get intricate details on the very top of the Tree of Life!”

I’ve got a Sony A7RV and a A9III I use for commercial work. They’re pretty handy cameras. I suppose to could bring one of those.

I’ve found my groove combining my two passions : golf and photography. I wish I could go full time. The commissions in the summer come but I can’t seem to give up my teaching job and go out on my own. This was some work for a magazine in South Carolina.

My wife has told me that I am 100% banned for bringing the M11 monochrom. Manual focus / black and white only… doesn’t bode with toddlers lol!

Regardless of my past visits and my experience with photography, this June will be a huge hallmark moment for me… my first visit with my children, they’ll be 5 and 3. Between now and then I’m exploring a new camera for this trip. I’m leaning towards a Leica Q2 or Q3, with the darkhorse Leica...

I definitely value videos of my kids way more than a ride or parade. 10-15 years ago there was a legit call for it. NOw, there’s so many YouTubers doing everything in 4K. What there is room for these days is someone to be different, a more cinematic approach. The stuff today is very clean...

Im not sure… my SIL lives in the path of totality in Vermont, like 3:30 of totality. I have a Fuji XH2s with a 200mm plus lens 1.4 TC. Lee Solar Filter. Unsure how I’ll compose … do I stitch a sequence of the event? I have zero idea regarding exposure times. I don’t do Astro / solar work...

Prime all the way. 35 equivalent. Smaller , optically superior. Forces you to make better work not being able to rely on a wide zoom range.

Almost there!
