My friend has hosted a cosplay photoshoot event multiple years at a horse ranch. Usually we have had it in the summer time, but this time we tried it in the fall (October). It worked out nicely, but there were a lot of challenges with the weather!  The nice thing about trying it at this time of year is that we had really unique results. I ran into a few technical roadblocks now that I’ve using Canon entry level cameras.

After trading in and consigning my Nikon full-frame cameras and buying EF-M gear, I’ve been considering a Sony A7 as something to use for adapting lenses mostly so that I could get a full 35mm sensor format.  The Sony Alpha A7. Is this camera still worth considering? Surprising it’s still sold new, so I was able to check one out at my local camera shop! https://youtu.be/HlchINEV-TA Thanks to Camera Craft in Rockford, Illinois for allowing me to film there!

Back in September I was trying to record footage for a video about my first outing with the Canon EOS M100. The place I went was so horrible due to the mosquitoes that I only stayed around 10 minutes. That didn’t leave me with a lot of content, but I’m determined to make it work!  With a slight shift of the theme I came up with this for all of you. I talk about making the best out of a given situation as well as why I picked up the Canon EOS M100 two lens kit. Here is the video: 

I had planned on making a fun completely upbeat video about attending a recent local photographer bonfire event. There were not a ton of people this year, so I thought I’d pull out the photos from previous years to include in the video below.  The thing with photography is that it captures moments. As time goes on fun moments can have a different perspective. I decided to talk a little bit about that out of respect. I also talk about why I think you should check out local events in your area. Here is a video about these meetups:
