This was late Spring, 8, Jun, 2022.

@@professorhineschoice thank you! Great stuff.

There's not a significant difference between the shadows and highlights for bracketing to be necessary. I have enough dynamic range in the single image to where if I need to go further in my edit of this it would be possible to obtain what I need from the one image.

😭 I can’t imagine it being worst than what it was when I was here in this video. Such a beautiful city that has drastically been neglected. 😔 Same for San Francisco.

That would be great! I definitely want some updates 😫

@@professorhineschoice The age of the Batis and Loxia Lenses shows when used on 60 megapixels Cameras.

🥹 Thanks so much and your support of producing video! ✨

Thanks for the kind review! 🥹

Yes, it was amazing this weekend! 2025 we’re heading to New York City in June. A European one is also being considered but not certain on where yet.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥹

September 18-24

Hoping to visit new cities in the future 😊

It was!

Right! I’m hoping someday this trickles down to the entry level bodies. I can’t see myself returning to a large camera and love the 7C II so much more over my 1. Thanks so much as well! 🥹

Thanks! I told Scott the global shutter is amazing but I have no desire to return to a large camera lol.

Because technology progresses and it’s no longer the 1980s. Not sure how a technological improvement can’t be understood as a major event. It allows things that could never be done then possible.

Glad you enjoyed it! Scott is an amazing photographer with wonderful lessons on portrait photography.

Wow! Great for you you’re still using an OVF. I try not to use my EVF at all costs. They bother my eyes a lot, especially being so much bigger and brighter than a decade ago. I had a guy ask me to take a photo of him on my road trip and he had a Nikon DSLR and it threw me off being that it was an OVF. It was more pleasant to look at lol. I don’t mind the rear screen but the EVF’s are just a lot of light so close to the eyes. I’m glad my glasses help a lot for all this screen usage indeed. 🥹 I appreciate that and glad they’re helpful! I’ll have some new videos coming soon finally for the post production again as well!

That’s a question for ZEISS, not me lol!

🥹 We appreciate the support! We worked really hard on that and glad it’s been helpful for hundreds of thousands! 🥰

🥹 Thanks so much! ❤️

🥹 Very kind, thanks so much!

I don’t know, but if I did I couldn’t share that then either! 🙃 I’m waiting patiently as well. I’d love a wide angle lens that could replace my Sony 12-24 GM. One can dream 🥹

@@professorhineschoice I do not like zoom Lenses ! I have Sony 14mm 1.8 GM, Zeiss Loxia Distagon 21mm 2.8 T* and Sony 24mm 1.4 GM, but I would be happy to replace the 14mm and 24mm to more compact Lenses, I might get the Zeiss Loxia Distagon 25mm 2.8 T*, but it will be nice to see some new Lenses.

I haven’t used/owned the Alpha 1’s for 9 months now. The 7C II’s and 6000 are the only cameras I have.

I sometimes hate having them because people will fixate on them and say they’re better than the edits… which is the way it’s supposed to be. You don’t edit bad photos to make them look great, you edit great photos to make them unique to you! 😊

It’s quite watchable for me and I’m viewing it on a 14” inch screen. This is a tutorial on Lightroom Mobile, which is a vertical experience… that’s kind of why this is the way it’s recorded. 🙃

🥹 Thanks for the kind words! Thanks to my good friends at ZEISS (Vision Care) I'll be back and full time for the first time here! There will be lots of new stuff for at least the next year. =)

@@professorhineschoice That's awesome

Make sure to follow ZEISS Vision USA on IG and support my new eyecare content as well! It makes me look good so I can probably go above a year 😁

My Alpha 1 twins have been retired since November 2023 (traded in around April 2024). The Alpha 6000 and 7C II (x2) are the only cameras in my lineup now. The weight, accuracy rate in focusing along with a few other things of the Alpha 1's were the reasons for the early retirement. It also was perfect time to do so, as I didn't lose value on my 1's. I've not missed the 1's and have thoroughly enjoyed going to the C series as my permanent camera. 😊

Great question. I expose my images solely for the subject and nothing else and also for these particular images had my WB set to daylight, giving it the natural warm tone in camera. I shoot portraits in RAW & JPEG so I need my JPEG's to be perfect. In doing so the RAW files are pretty much perfect. All I will do is add more color tinting and address any other blemishes (such as what was on her arms). If I exposed just neutral (0) then that may be too underexposed and I would need to push shadows, which in turn will have noise as an issue - making the skin not be as silky smooth. Better to get the subject right. The background isn't the important factor, but if you expose the subject just enough without clipping background highlights then you can restore that detail in post with a mask adjustment to the background and decrease the highlight levels.

@@professorhineschoice thank you so much for your reply, Professor Hines. I’ll try to follow these settings and hopefully I’ll do improve my skills. Is there any way you teach others to achieve high quality in photography? Taking images and editing in post? Of course paid classes. I kind of struggle achieving good quality photos 🤷‍♂️. My biggest problem is that I’m based in UAE and during summers is very difficult to go out because of the weather, you know how is here because you were here. Thank you and sorry for my long message. 🙏🙏
