Update
Well, I have upgraded my entire setup. Bought things I thought I would only dream of using.
New camera body is the Sony A7RV, new lens is the Sony 16mm-30mm f/2.8 G Master Mark II.
New and faster cards, a new top light, new batteries, new camera cage, probably leaving things out but this is the most of it at least and it has been something.
I was asked to shoot an event for the company I work for and the circumstances of this event I did not want any worry of anything being out of focus or some how messed up.
So something as big as this was I went as all in as I possibly could. In the end it was all worth every penny.
I can’t even describe the joy of seeing these colors. The A7RIII is An amazing camera but when comparing it to the RV it is like being in a different world. I can say the dedicated sensor for auto white balancing does an incredible job!
Having other people praise these photos and getting to hear how happy others are made everything worth it. I still can not believe it. It is really difficult for me to think highly of myself in any way and any kind of praise or comment I get I react weird about but all of this just made me so happy.
Being able to capture these photos and give people these physical memories is insane to think about. I remember seeing photos like this when I started on the river and seeing these from 50 to 60 years ago still being displayed after that long I can’t grasp the true value of being the person to capture these and these photos one day telling a story once I am far gone.
ARTCo Open House 2024, first ever open house in Mount Vernon, Indiana.
The M/V Royce Wilken being christened to honor ARTCo’s former president.
Both of these are very special to have happened, capturing everything of that day is, and was such an honor.
I now have conversations that I will hold deeply to me, memories of getting to see my family tour my workplace and my boat, it is more than I could ask for.
Without all the hardworking people that put in so much work before and during this none of these photos would even be possible.
This photo right here I tossed my remote and left my drone in the air alone for a solid 10 minutes while running around with my camera and making sure I got all the shots I needed and even forgot that it was in the air!
my biggest and most special supporters.
Squarespace is being difficult and I am unable to upload the entire album, the people that put in so much hard work to make this happen should be appreciated.
