A6400 Street Photography & Tips Tutorial
Got to take the A6400 out on the town at night for some street shooting in Waikiki a few weeks ago. What I LOVE about the A6400: A very compact and small shooting solution. The front facing monitor was a game changer in this situation, but as you can hear from the audio, the on board microphone may not be enough, and as soon as you add the mic, you can't see the monitor, so you will need something (an adapter) to offset the microphone. I also give some basic shooting tips for first time street shooters. Enjoy!

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

Hard to describe, but suffice it to say this is more of a ode to past Hollywood times than anything.
There were a lot of things that were amazing. QT is as unique as they come in regards to writer/directors. He takes huge chances, a master of building the tension up, dialogue, composition, color, personalities - so many things well done. But keep this in mind, this isn't a movie in the traditional sense, it is more of a tribute/ borderline documentary to the personality types & stages of different egos of Hollywood past and in that regard it is thought provoking. The ending was a great payoff, but I think the casual movie goer is going to be bored with it at 2 hrs and 40 minutes, unless they are die hard QT fans.
Its a rental.

10 Photography Mistakes I wish I would have know when I first started
There are many more that I left off:
- Not caring about what others think and focusing on what is interesting or my gut tells me I should try.
- Its ok to shoot in P or Av mode, the end result is what matters most. Dont put so much pressure on yourself to learn manual right away.
- Take chances & make lots of mistakes to learn from.
- Find friends to shoot with
- Photography projects work (like a 365 project)
- Try new genres just to try them.
What did I miss? Let me know in the comments!
Have a great day!
