Snapseed Masterclass | 2021 Snapseed Overview

My Favorite M4/3 Zoom Lens | Panasonic 12-35 f2.8
The Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 is my favorite normal zoom lens for my Panasonic G9. The build quality is second to none. I highly recommend this lens for any Panasonic micro four thirds camera.

Panasonic G9: 1 Year Later... does it hold up?
The Panasonic G9 is still a powerhouse camera that came out in late 2017. These are my thoughts about it after using it for over a year. I still love this camera and highly recommend it. Watch the video to learn why I think it's still an INCREDIBLE value for money!

Edit With Me: Sunrise Picture - Lightroom Classic
In this video I go through and edit a sunrise image in Lightroom Classic.
This was shot a couple of weeks ago before the snow hit lol. In this video I go through and edit a sunrise image in Lightroom Classic. This was shot on a Sony A6100 with the 18-105 F4 lens.
Sony A6100 with single kit lens
My full gear list is here.
Sony 18-105 Review - my PERFECT APSC zoom range!
The Sony 18-105mm F4 lens is the best general use lens for my Sony A6100. This lens is great for travel photography to video production.
You can get the lens here. My gear list is here.
With a F4 aperture I can very comfortably take indoor pictures without having to crank the IOS too high.
The Sony 18-105mm lens gives me the ability to shoot open landscapes with ease.
And zooming really lets you separate your subject from the background.
Tamron 28-200mm Lens Review | Budget Sony Travel Lens
The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD provides a wide zoom range in compact, weather-sealed design. The images are very clear and sharpe. I think this is a great travel lens. I haven't found any chromatic aberration on any of my images so far. It is pretty amazing how close you can focus with the lens. It's by no means a macro lens but it's nice to have. Overall I highly recommend this lens. It's the lens I would recommend getting to replace a kit lens.
Get the Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD here.
All images below have been edited with Lightroom. The range you get with a 28-200mm lens is incredible.
Even though is not a macro lens, the lens is able to focus relatively close.
The Tamron 28-200mm is going to be a great travel lens. Having the versatility to shoot landscapes to portraits in one lens is nice.

Sony A6100 - The Camera To Get In 2020
The Sony A6100 is a great deal for anyone getting into photography or video in 2020. With fast hybrid AF the Sony A6100 brings high speed, accuracy and tracking performance to meet the stringent autofocus demands of 4K movies. More effective use of the focal plane phase-detection system enables more stable AF, while the contrast-detection AF system contributes to overall accuracy.
Get the Sony A6100 below. By using the links below it really helps me maintain the site and create reviews.
All images have been tweaked moderately in Lightroom.
