One of my wildflower images got published in a local Texas Hill Country magazine. Very excited about the 2 page spread. Excuse the iPhone shots.

Congrats on having your photo published Alfredo. I'm sure there will be many more in the future too.

Thank you David! I was hoping to land the cover but it went to another traveling photographer I follow on Instagram. He travels around in an Airstream and is a Sony shooter. Really talented shooter.

Man that’s the life! I’d love to live out of an Airstream. There are a few of them at the campground I’m at right now. Old ones or new ones; they’re things of beauty.

Congrats man, photo looks beautiful too!

Good for you Alfredo, that is awesome!

My little back yeard Bluebirds seem to have decided that this is the year that our little bird house looks best...they are actually nesting this year, last year they hung out but no nest.
A big time crop down to 1800 pixels on the long side to get this...not bad from the 70-200GM with the 2x...considering how many pixels that bird is, how far away it was, handheld...I will take it. I am going back out later to see if I can capture them in flight a little...the tracking AF might get put to the test.

Wonderful photos!

Thank you guys! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I'm hoping to make into Texas Monthly (state wide magazine) someday.

good grief...these little birds...can sure eat up memory cards...UHS 1 is just not fast enough...my landscape photo cards are just UHS1...my two Sony Tough Cards are UHS 2...huge difference...still fun this morning, taking some time off to just sit in the backyard...still a bit cool out...but nice good warm light.

Congrats Alfredo!

I purchased the controller wheel for the Osmo Pocket and it really helps with the panning both horizontally and vertically but annoying to realise that it no longer fits in the hard case with the controller attached! I thought it would at least have fitted in with the controller sticking out the side but it doesn’t. I’ll end up losing it if I need to keep taking it on and off. I see amazon sells a cheap plastic gimbal protector so I’m going to order that and see how it goes.

Holiday/Vacation zoom lens - Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 or 24-105 f/4?

Basically speed vs reach I suppose.

I’m going to Florida again at the start of May (was supposed to be July/Aug but we brought it forward today) so my thoughts are naturally at what gear to take. It’s either a7riii + batis 25, cv40 and batis 85 or considering one of the above zooms and the cv40 and be done with it. Thoughts?

I'de lean one zoom and CV 40.... hard beating that 40 when it comes to family shots, while the convenience of the zoom for the beach would be real handy (assuming you spend time there).

I pretty much always travel with at least a "normal" zoom, and then add primes to it. Sometimes my normal zoom is the 28-75 other times, the 24-240. I like the longer range at the beach, since my kids are a bit older and can swim. With my younger kids, I dont need the reach, since I cant be too far from them. Either way, you've got a great kit as is.
