I like to capture people on the street doing their daily routine, i.e. people working / playing. I ALWAYS try to ask for permission first. Just by holding up my camera, I usually get an OK.

I photographed this place last year. Bring a wide angle lens and a flash. it's pretty dark in the cells and corridors. go early or late to get the sunlight, want there is of it, steaming through the cell blocks. the bars on the cell doors make an eerie shadow on the walls.

When you are finished, check out the colorful boat houses near the art museum on the Schuylkill river. much happier scenery.

I love it when a bird stays around long enough for you to really get close. Taken at Birch Bay State Park, WA. Taken with Sony A7iii and 70-400mm Sony Zoom lens. 400mm, 1/250 f5.6 ISO100

I have used this camera for ~6 weeks now. Travel photography, landscape, street scenes, night scapes, portraits, etc. I also have a the Sony a7Rll. The a7iii is far superior in every way in my experience. Fast, accurate focus. Great color. Easy to use. My only issue (and it's minor) the the 24 Megapixel sensor. Coming off the a7Rii's 42 Megapixel sensor, the cropping size can be a limitation for some. At this price, I am going to buy a back-up....LOL

I think it's called Phlox

I use the Nissin Di700 on my Sony A7RII. works great, bounce flash up/dn, lt/rt. I also have the Nissan Air1 for off-camera strobe. works great.

How big do you want them?

Whistler, BC in the winter is a photographic wonderland, day or night.

I just returned from an African Safari; Rwanda and Kenya. Before you decide on the equipment to haul over there, I would suggest that you know the type of environments first. For example, in Rwanda, I was in jungle looking for the mountain gorillas. A long lens (over 100mm) was totally inappropriate for that scene. I used a 24 to 70mm zoom. In Kenya, we had 2 different environments: Samburu National Reserve and the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Samburu has some wide open plains but is mostly trees and shrubs (at least where the animals were). Again a long lens was not always needed since we were able to be close to most of the game. The Mara is more open grasslands. Here, a long lens was a necessity to photograph the big cats hunting or capture a Hippo / Rhino /Elephant at a safe distance. I used a Sony A7R II and was not disappointed at all.

For most of us, this type of trip is a once in a life time event. Get the best quality that you can, learn it first and focus on the experience, not the camera gear. Have fun !
