IG and Flickr mainly. Recently I've been thinking about getting prints of some of my work done to hang on my empty-ass walls.

I think photography can be treated as an end in itself. The whole process from planning to shooting to editing to whatever else might come after should be seen as a great way to spend your time and enjoy life regardless of how much exposure the photos get.
Aaaaannnd something from Tuesday night. Went to a local beach looking for a good spot to shoot the sunset but got these instead. Got pretty lucky with how this situation unfolded and I quite like the results.

My A7III has been collecting dust the past few months. I've lost inspiration. I want to take landscape shots and there's almost nothing compelling in Florida besides the beach. Now the Rona is derailing things even further, smh.

Picked up a real cheap Z mount DX 60mm macro for the Z6 for ~170. Excited to mess around with that a bit.

Alright boyos. The ocean is glowing neon blue. Ya'll got any tips or tricks on how to actually shoot this? I went out for about an hour to scope things out (packed as all hell at 10pm) but going to try to go out again later in the week, possibly later at night. The ISO performance is pretty much abysmal on the D3200 I have so I feel like this is going to be a real struggle.

Also, damn I think I need to calibrate my monitor at home. Those pics are infinitely darker on my work monitors. Can't see a damn thing.

Was a spur of a moment kind of grab, and I liked it; wasn't interested in doing much editing to this one.
light is xplor600 pro in an XXL octa

Been shopping for monitors all morning. Built a new computer a couple weeks ago because photoshop and lightroom running at the same time killed it. The darkness of those pics was a real motivator but I'm due for an update anyways. Not a damn thing in stock anywhere though. Found these two that seem to get good reviews after digging around. The lower end has 8bit color vs 10bit (8+FRC) for the higher priced one. Worth the extra money for the 10bit option when it comes to photo editing? Was looking at these two as they are marketed as hybrids and I've been messing around with a bit of gaming during the lockdown. Down for some recommendations too.

Decided to head out last minute and see how the sunset was going to unfold last night. Turned out pretty sweet but I got there a bit late and was rushed getting setup. Wasn't until I got home that I realized my camera was still in DX mode from playing around with my cheapo macro lol.

The botanical gardens opened up today to the public. Thought I'd try and challenge myself with my nifty fifty by ONLY shooting at f/1.8

Corpus also has a Selena statue. I believe her assassination was 25 years ago just last month.

Don’t get it twisted, I went to Sunday’s protest in DTLA to see if any chit would go down (my building actually got smashed on the ground floor the previous night). I will say, this dude who was leading the march was really cool. He had great control of the crowd and a great message. At every stop he reiterated that they were there for peace, not for violence, not for vandalism, not for looting, not for hate. For peace. That said, in that group of 300 or so, there were dozens of degenerates mouthing off about fukk da poh lease, Dey bitch ass nuggaz, and just being angry. Anyways thought this was a decent shot
Forgot to swap lenses so went out with my 85mm 1.2 smh…

Anyone here into interior real estate photography? I’m getting mixed results and honestly haven’t really “felt” anything I’ve been taking. Here is what’s currently going on for me:
Camera: Canon 6D MKII
Lens: Canon 17-40L
Process: Multiple exposure stacking (usually 5 pics at 1 stop difference in either direction)
Post Process: Take to PS and merge to HDR (note, not doing typical HDR, just for the layering and then adjust levels and color etc), and then finally straighten all lines.
I’ve only been shooting during day time, as I cannot figure out doing a light “painting” with a flash rig to save my life. I feel like the stuff I see that stands out to me for the most part are ones that are taking during the daytime, but are 100% using flash painting. Like even this guy:
And a more obvious use for night time
Any tips/tutorials/etc? I’m actually considering hitting up people on Redfin or zillow with chit tier pics and offer to take some for free, just for experience.
