Life's been hitting hard lately. Had a nasty accident at work recently that put me out of commission for a while. My wife also recently left a badly managed corporate job (finally.) So I've been feeling the pressure to try and make some extra cash on the side.
I used to make dice trays, but being down a hand makes that impossible atm. I figured I should go through my photo library again and see what might be worth getting some prints of. Problem is, my brains telling me none of it's worth a damn. I know that it's imposture syndrome mixed with stress and perfectionism, so I'm just trying to remind myself that I do okay work.
Speaking of perfectionism, I've not been out with my camera for a long time as I struggle immensely with getting sharp images. I have a canon r6 with the sigma 150-600 contemporary, and there's some kind of miscommunication with the focusing system. I know I've seen others talk about pulsing with this lens, but what I'm experiencing is that no matter what I do, I only get one *kinda* sharp image out of HUNDREDS of shots.
The shot of the snowy owl on top of a power pole was taken with my parents 7d mkii and it worked perfectly. I'm considering taking some money I got from selling some tools recently and buying a used 7d mkii to solve my sharpness issues for now. Get myself out again and try to enjoy it. Then hopefully save enough to switch systems. I'm so sick of Canons locked down lens lineup.
If anyone's got suggestions on systems throw them out there for me. Also I know this is a ramble and is probably scattered. I'm in a lot of pain right now and meds have been rough, so I'm really trying to distract myself. Anyway, if you read all that thank you. Stay safe out there y'all.
