    I love how you said just because someone on KZreadr/IG has a lot of subs or followers doesn't mean they're a good photographer lol. So so true 🫣 Also, so nice to hear a photographer on here actually speak about their technique and relate it to actual principles of photography. I'm not into photography as much as I was years ago, but this video sure is inspiring me to take photos!

    Thanks man! I haven’t done one because I’m not really a video guy. But the best video lenses that I used so far is the sigma 18-50 and the viltrox 13mm f1.4 but honestly it depends what you’re shooting. The most video I do is for this KZread channel and some small client work who needs videos along with their photos.
