I think this is my favorite of the ones I took. I really like the scale - and the road only helps with that for me.  Since I drive that road all the time, seeing it continuing off in the distance ...

There ya go, a quick and dirty B&W.

I did not, but I can give it a go! Does Affinity 2 have a horizon alignment feature?  I know I've seen something like that in Adobe.

So, I took as much of your folks advice as I could remember and went on the grassland to take some shots when it's snowy. I tried to visualize the kind of shot I wanted and then an attempt to ...

I didn't have a whole lot of choice with the parade.  It was dark, snow/raining, and I only had my 50mm f/1.8 to use with it.  Even shot wide open, I was lucky to get 1/50th shutter speeds at 5k ...

Thanks for the input folks - I appreciate it.  :) Having the Thunder Basin National Grassland as my "office", and we have a Forest photo competition that I want to get some pics for, I'm going to ...

I do tend to take the path that "more is better" - since I can take a ton of pics, I do, especially in continuous mode.

When I look at pictures I take, or why I took a certain photo, I feel like I do it because of an almost... archival mindset.  I want to take a picture of something to remember it, rather than ...

I got another of him in the middle of his zoomies. Original: Cropped it down to this:

Such as this?

Here's the original, uncropped photo. I centered him in the far left crop guides in Affinity to put him on the side and use the whole "thirds" aspect.  I also wanted to crop out the AC unit and ...

Shot with the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and the A7R IVa. Straight JPEG from the camera, cropped in Affinity Photo 2.  Auto levels, white balance, etc performed.

Properties shows it's only about half-full after transferring the JPEGs.

Correct- I dumped the JPEGs straight onto the internal SSD and viewed them from there.  I think it's a Samsung 860 SATA.  I originally used it as a boot drive for Windows only, but I replaced it ...

Here is a link to my Flick Album of what I considered the "keepers". 140 photos out of about 700 total taken. These are straight JPEGs from the A7R IVa with the Sony 50mm f/1.8 As you will see, it ...

I went to the Casper Christmas Parade last night and took about 800 photos (gotta love continuous mode with continuous AF - lol). I took them off my SD card and put them on my 128GB SSD I have in ...

I was noticing this as well.  These appear to be more of a security device than something to help hold on to the camera. I was thinking more of what you're talking about.

I have zero experience doing photo editing.  Like... One time I had Photoshop trial and all I did was hit the "auto adjust". I went with Affinity because it's a one-time fee, not some Software as a ...

This being my first-ever full-frame sensor camera, it's amazing to me how wide it is! It's also surprising how short lenses are. lol Wide is WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE It's really forcing ...
