I'm happy with the stuff I get, but :wow:. One dude has a Canon 1dx and the other was shooting with some sony a7___...I don't know exactly which one. But yeah. That background separation, the buttery bokeh. shyt crazy.

yeah they are professionals. They do weddings and other paid portrait stuff. One dude was telling me that at Nebraska Furniture Mart(it's a furniture store but they sell electronics...its a chain in the Midwest) he could get a floor model Sony A7ii for under $700. If so :whoo:. I'ma have to hit up the store we got here to see what's up.

She's beautiful, great photos.

How do you go about posing your models? Do you tell them what to do or you just let them freestyle and see what happens?
a little of both. Some models are good about going from a base pose and hitting little movements. Posing the models is one of those things that i'm still not really good at. But it just depends on the models levels. Some models you have to tell them to do every little movement. :snoop:. And some models try so hard to do ratchet thot poses. I'm like :whoa:, this aint selfies, just be a little more natural and innocent, you're pretty...don't try to do too much.

Thats that manny ortiz steez, very crispy

But yea anything under $1k for a A7ii or r is a steal!! Let us know bruh if they have multiples there. My next upgrade will be one in the a7series. Now that the A9 is out I'm hoping to see more sales.

I found a D3400 here at an Osaka electronics store for ~$240 with the tax free benefit. I'm think i'm gonna cop it.
