Compact Captures

Daily Photo – Compact Captures

I was reading about that new Sony a7CR, compact full frame model. It reminds me a lot of the old NEX-7. I had some awesome adventures with that, it never let me down (e.g. the image below). So I can only imagine the full frame equivalent being fantastic… maybe it’s time to step away from the standard R series… hmmm…

Sometimes you spend ages finding a shot and sometimes things just align as if they were always meant to be that way…

My Travel Config

For those of you who missed the newsletter the other day, here’s the portion on how I configured my bags/gear for Scotland and the USA…

I’m still sticking with the Sony A7R series for my main camera body. Primarily with the 24-105 G which is just so amazingly flexible and all I really carry each day. When I need a quickfire shot, my Pixel 7 Pro does the job really well and up in the air I’ve moved on from the Mavic Pro series to a mix of Mavic Air 2S with its 1-inch sensor and the latest DJI Mini which is so small and light but creates great pano images. Small/light is the way to go drone wise.

My system for getting these, and all my other stuff, about revolves around 2 Peak Design Travel Backpacks. I wear them both at the same time, with one holding all my clothes and boring stuff on my back and one with all my gear and cool stuff on my front like some sort of mutant turtle. Oh, that reminds me… my current Tripod is the Peak Design Travel Tripod in Carbon Fiber. Super lightweight/compact and easy to get around.

Stu had a similar sort of system going on… just a bit more loosely packed as Scotland is home to him, so he didn’t need to minimise like me for international travel. So bag 1 for Stu… Travel Backpack (all sorts of random camera stuff we might need, like chargers, extra lenses and the like). Configured with their various packing cubes. Bag 2 was an Everyday Backpack for clothes and bag 3 the same but containing core photography gear, including an Everyday Sling slid into the top where it fits nicely, containing the drone of the day.

So that, and the Insta360 X3 just about covers it. All of the above items very much recommended and used to create all the images you’ve seen from Scotland.
Here’s an ultra-glamorous behind the scenes shot of me, minus the bags…

Feedback, Please

So, here’s a continuation of an experiment in its very early stages.

A new type of vlog thing where I take you along, in 360, as I wander the cityscapes and landscapes of the places I visit. These will likely evolve over time, they are experiments for now, so expect a few rough edges and a slower pace than the average YouTube travel vid. I hope you find them interesting… here is Glasgow Attempt #2… and remember you can spin the camera all around any time you want. All feedback appreciated!

Edinburgh of the South

Daily Photo – Edinburgh of the South

Been down in Dunedin for some eye stuff and it reminded me of this shot from the coast down there… and that this is another one of those links between Scotland and NZ. The name Dunedin comes from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh…

Well, that’s cool…

Love it or hate it… or somewhere in between, there is no denying that the advances in AI are pretty crazy. Here’s the tech launching for ChatGPT next month. Pretty clever!

The new chatgpt and Dall E 3 integration is magical. Seems personalized videos and movies are the next Frontier

Daily Photo – Life Admin

Settling back into the studio after essentially being on the road since May is great but also filled with realisation of how stuff somehow needs to be attended to… Windows updates. Cleaning (somehow!), life admin… but then the fun creative stuff can begin again. Yay! Big plans are a cookin’.
