Get yourself a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to record, the stabilization and color are perfect for vlogging. Then get a license for ACD Video Studio or ACD Luxea Pro Video Studio for editing. Oh, and file as a business so this all is deductable.

Sharp shinned hawk

A visit from a hawk is a rare event at my Blue Bell office, so when a juvenile sharp shinned hawk showed up last week and hung around for a while, I took a ton of photos of it. At the risk of boring you, here are eight more.

What a sharp Hawk.

Inexpensive Solar Filter

Wha overpriced solar filters? A Thousand Oaks Optical 72 mm screw on solar filter is only $55, which is pretty inexpensive by photography filter standards.

Why the price of Leica SL2 between Walmart and Adorama is so much diffe?

I am looking to buy Leica SL2 and found that the price is so much different between Walmart and Adorama. Should I buy from Walmart? ( almost 50% less ). Thanks

Never trust an internet price that is substantially lower than legitimate distribution sources. Samys camera has a body only at $6,995, same as B&H. KEH has a refurb body at $4,099. Don't be fooled by low prices; you'll get grey-market products without an OEM warranty.

Better white balance

Get yourself a Calibrate (ex XRite) color checker.

Take one exposure of the card, and use it for white balance.

HOW THIRD-PARTY CHINESE LENS MANUFACTURERS ARE TAKING OVER

I need a longer reach when shooting events with my Fuji XT-5. The Fujifilm 90 mm f/2 is $849; it is an excellent lens but like all Fuji OEM glass, pricy. The Viltrox 85 mm f/1.8 has almost the identical reach, but saved me a lot, and the performance is identical in low light and fast moving situations.
