One of the reasons I wanted a full frame camera was their ability to shoot in low light situations versus their crop sensor counterparts. Not that the modern crop sensors aren’t great, but the full frame sensors have size on their side. The a6000 and a7ii both shoot at 24mp, but the noise on the a7ii is noticeably less because the extra space of the sensor allows the pixels to “breath”.
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of linking up with Chris Kuhn, a film photographer based in the Harrisburg area. We originally linked via Instagram. Say what you want about social media and it’s misuse, but I have connected with more like minds on there in the last 6 months than I have in my previous 35 years on this planet.
In early September I had the honor of shooting a wedding for two of my good friends, Keith & Lauren. Being the second wedding that I photographed, I had a bit more of an idea on what to expect. I haven’t shot a wedding since 2008, which I did when one of my friend’s sister was getting married. Seven days before her wedding her photographer cancelled on her, so I stepped in to help out.
I finally got a chance to go out and shoot for the first time in close to a month. And when I don’t shoot, I can feel the adverse results of through my entire being. When I shoot I sift through the muck and sludge of reality to find the intrinsic beauty therein. This perspective shift then bleeds into all areas of my life.
It wasn’t supposed to rain until late afternoon, but that didn’t stop morning rain. Krik & I headed out to film some videos like we always do. A couple lefts, a couple rights, and a couple minutes later we were jingling down the backside of the mountain on a rocky forest road.
