Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Cool
I was just studying my sleep schedule for crate training....alarm to be set for every 3-3.5 hours for a while
But teach 'em young eh and fewer problems down the road.

We were going for hypoallergenic, low to no shedding, smart and of course the Schnauzer beard kinda matches mine.
But after we'd committed we googled Schnauzers and cats (we have 3 cats and the big boy Milo will outweigh the
miniature Schnauzer by 2x haha! But googling prey drive and Schnauzers rank near the top of the list and AKC's blurb
on interaction with other animals is iffy at best (yeah I know all dogs are individuals).

The good is we're bringing in a pup and the cats will teach her right quickly what claws on the nose feel like! All will be good
in the end; just a learning process for everyone.

My life with clouds.
If they're not above me they are below.

Funny you mentioned a pup, my daughter in law recently brought home a 8 week old German Shepherd pup, and went through your ritual, they have several cats as well. I visited last weekend and met him for the first time, now is 18 weeks and is doing agility, took a few pictures Good luck with yours !!

Great visual of an exceptional outdoor space!

Thanks! I would love to have that outdoor space...

Agree on what Tim said. I loved the music. Watched on my ipad and the sound track was sweet.

I had to gather my thoughts after viewing this and here’s my review: As I watched the video I was almost completely uninterested in your video work and was entirely caught up in a rapture of love for architecture and beautifully crafted spaces. And that, Travis, is compelling evidence that you did outstanding work completing this production.

The camera bobbing with your steps is a minor distraction, mainly because that was when my attention was semi-diverted from focusing on the spatial architecture and I began thinking about you as the camera man. I know and fully commiserate on exactly just how hard it is to achieve smoothness in motion. I myself want to learn techniques and strategies for being able to do smooth walking videos and have nothing to offer, so I’m almost certainly far more sensitive about this than your clients or their presentees will be.

Excellent work Travis, your client’s trust in you has served them well!

Thanks, the music I was not as certain about, it was not what I would have chosen...the Owner is Latin, and has a very latin vibe in the main home...and my client wanted something with a little latin flare. Myself, I don't see the connection, how would anyone else know all of that background...so I found a track that mixed the simple guitar that I wanted and the latin vibe the client wanted, and they loved it.

Thanks David, at first I was reading this comment and thought...well, I should just quit right now and sell all my gear! Then I realized that I have done exactly as you stated, and exactly what I want, and what my client needs...for the viewer to do just as you say, become immersed in the spaces and lost in those spaces. Yes, the camera bounce is hard to correct, I did some minor stabilization on these and it is better than it was SOOC. I have to figure out how to be more smooth when walking. I need more practice. It is actually easier if you move faster, at least I have found. But moving fast and then playing back slow...looks really odd. So I just gotta keep trying.

I was trying to dish out my highest praise for your work in a thoughtful way rather than my usual superficial gushing, so I’m glad you received it as intended.

I would love to know (as an owner of many of the Sony APS-C cameras, including the current a6600) what the thoughts of others may be as to why Sony hasn't added features like "Product Showcase" and "Background Defocus" to the mainline of APS-C products like the A6xxx line. Especially "Product Showcase."

Thoughts?

Fantastic rendition.

Me ashamed. I've never heard of 'product showcase'.

These crazy skies shot just an hour ago or so right outside my front door.
