Nah I didn’t want a step by step. Just a general idea of where to focus my knowledge. I’ll keep uploading pics and you’ll see what I mean. They look like regular pics. No pizzazz lol.



that’s all I needed fam. Thank you. I’ll check out some more of your posts. I have no problem watching the boring stuff. You’re right, everything I watch from these bug following accounts is the same basic ish. I actually find more info and ideas from IG guys. Those types who show how they make poses

But never do I find people who help you with the fine tuning. Taking that next big step. Going from IG dope pics to print quality type stuff. It’s just another level that you’re on. I don’t want to copy your style or nothing. Just upgrade mine to a level that separates.

You can get that abelinsane tutorial. It's free on the interwebz

Taylor Jackson and John branch are my favorites for wedding stuff. They both have hour long videos pretty much walking you through the whole weddings from start to finish.

Yup also they post their settings. Taylor also shows shooting with one camera , or one lens or affordable lenses or helpful tips and he's not prentenious like some of these dudes. On some you need a Canon r6 and a rf 50 1.2 to even get a gig type of ish.

And for retouching PixPerfect is damn near the best.
And i learned alot from Tutvid. Tutvid even with a million followers is very slept on. And i had to watch some of his vids at like 75% speed cuz he talks fast as shyt.

Slick! I'm working on getting my drone video techniques smooth and looking pro.

any recommendations on a mini tripod?

Finally travelling again shortly

I'll vouch for them, I have their RoadTrip original, it's super lightweight and collapses to a nice size.

The DayTrip looks like it was the mini version if you can find one

Any of yall use the Sony 100-400gm.

Ive been looking at that and the Sigma 100-400.

Seems like the biggest difference is the AF is slower on the Sigma which could come into play if you're birding, but I don't really do that.

Might matter for sports.

I have macro lenses so the close focusing distance really won't matter.

I think I'd get the same benefit for landscape photography.
