Am I being reasonable? Z8 instead of Z6iii to have more reach because of the 48mp? GAS? Hey everyone! I recently upgraded from my ZF to the Z6iii. I really love the improved ergonomics. On my recent trip I realised that I had many (nature) shots where I would have loved to crop in post if it wasn’t for the loss in quality/sharpness. Since I like printing those “1 out of 100” shots I was sad to see losing detail. I’ve been debating…

Worth it to upgrade to full-frame? I’ve had my A6700 for about a year now, and I love it. I’ve got a Sigma 18-50 f2.8 and a 56mm 1.4.

What’s a good tripod that has a high overhead ability? I’ve been working with this 1976 Sears photography tripod for over a decade now simply because it has a built in horizontal adjustment, allowing me to shoot overheard. Unfortunately today, it did not cut the mustard as the height was too low and the tripod had an awful time grounding to the floor. So now I’m in the market to upgrade but I’m well…

Do all your pictures convey a story? I was talking to a friend, and they mentioned that every photo they take is meant to tell a story. Meanwhile, most of the pictures I take are purely based on vibes—does it look cool or not? I don’t usually have a deeper meaning behind them.
