I’m just now getting into photography. I had a Canon DSLR a few years ago, but it got stolen.
I settled on Sony for budget reasons. Thought I considered Olympus as well.
@Kurtz: I had two different crop-sensor Canon Rebels before I shifted to the full frame mirrorless. I had enough money in lenses that I didn’t consider moving to a different ecosystem.
I bought a used a6000 so I could budget more money for decent glass and filters. I am impressed so far with the Gobe filter kit I got.
Went a little inexpensive on the tripod, figuring that I needed to see what I did and didn’t like about it before I opened the wallet for a carbon fiber.
I have my next couple purchases lined up. Just kind of waiting for things to get back to normal.
That evil dastardly pen was teasing her.
Awwwww. Can”t lose with cats. Yours? And we need all the soothers we can get.
I was looking st your 365 project, and liked that one a lot. The two cats practicing their martial arts was also excellent.
How do you like the Canon mirrorless?
@gVOR08: Yep–one of three.
@Kurtz: Thanks. And I have been really happy with the new camera. It has been the upgrade from the previous body that I had hoped for.

What were you shooting before?

Which Sony do you have?

Been there with cats.
Sometimes they go friggin mental over a pen cap as the most fascinating thing that ever existed.
It is baffling.
They may be taunting us. It would surprise me.
