I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.

It’s SFW, don’t worry.

  • Thank you, it’s always nice hearing that people like the shots.

    Yeah it’s really not bad to carry‡ and I usually will take my 100-300 mm lens★ with me with the kit lens when I go out hiking or just brjng the 100-300 mm with me on a bike ride.

    I use the high res mode sometimes and it works really well, the new G9-2 has a better high res mode from what I hear but I unfortunately haven’t tested it on the new version yet.

    I have shot some video but I don’t shoot much that would require tracking focus. It’s more of a set it and forget it kind of thing. One thing I have used it for quite a bit is streaming video and it works fantastic for that.

    In terms of advanced features, exposure bracketing is something I enjoy quite a bit. It allows me to more focus on framing and focus to nail a shot. But I’ve found myself not using that feature much lately. I’m not sure why I just don’t bother lol.

    I think my favorite advanced feature though is connecting it to my phone over WiFi and controlling it that way. It’s so useful having a view from the camera on my phone and being able to control the camera. I’ve even done it with a tablet and it’s so freakin nice. Literally having a live monitor for the camera for no extra cost that allows full control of the camera.

    ★ Probably my favorite feature of the Micro 4/3 system is the lens sizes, there’s a huge variety of them and even the coolest lenses don’t weigh a whole lot. The 100-300 mm one I mentioned here is barely larger than a standard 12 oz soda can when stowed.

    ‡ The hikes I normally go on are north of 12 miles with thousands of feet of gain, it’s super chill to carry. I’ve got a peak design clip I use to put in on my hiking bag shoulder strap and my other lens is on the other strap. It’s a pretty great setup.


  • Personally I’ve got a Lumix G9 and I’ve been having a ball with it since I got it (I’ve got a link in my profile to where I share pics if you’re curious)

    I’m by no means an expert but my use case lines up quite a bit with yours so I felt like sharing

    It’s not bad to lug around and being able to have a couple lenses in my bag without worry is nice. But most of the time I just rock the 12-60mm Leica lens that came with it.

    If you wanna pick my brain with questions about it feel free, though my lunch is about over so it’s going to be a few hours before I get back to you.










  • I’m so envious that you got some nice pictures of them

    I still haven’t managed to get any pictures of black bears even though I’ve encountered them over a dozen times in the last couple years

    They always book it before I can get my camera out. But of course I usually come across them and we see each other way too close.







  • They’re going to be visible again tonight

    Basically find a dark place and look to the North (though many of my family and friends saw them while being in the city)

    Depending on how far south you are in the state it should be visible

    I’m in Washington so it was much easier to see. Though I went to bed early and missed it too.
