Sony A7 & A7r Light Leak Issue
After reading about the light leak issue in the Sony A7r, I decided it would be a good idea to check my camera as well.
Shoot Remotely With The Sony A7 & A7r
As I've been looking more and more into seriously doing drone photography, I've been playing more with the Smart Remote Control App on my Sony A7r and have found that it's really really cool. At first I couldn’t really get it to do everything I wanted, like shooting Raw. But I then discovered you have to actually dig into settings in the app in the camera, and you can unlock a whole new set of features. Color Profiles, Flash settings, and Image quality settings like RAW+Jpeg.

The Legend People of Bryce Canyon
This photo was taken at Bryce Canyon Utah. This was my first time at this location. Never really knew much about it growing up since the Grand Canyon always takes all the glory. But I think this place is more interesting than the Grand Canyon. It's not as epic but definitely more interesting.
The Hoodoos of the Bryce Canyon I've noticed always seem to look best with a little snow around them. So my goal was to hit it in the winter which can be a risk in Utah at this altitude. Luckily we had clear skies and missed any bad snowstorms.
Road Through Zion
This was my first time at Zion National Park in Utah. I made the mistake of only planning to be here for one day, not realizing this place was so…
