    100% on taking the cliche shot. Even if you don't "use" it, its nice to have your own copy with your own memory. I used to be against doing that and have completely changed my tune. Grab the main one quick, then I can feel free to spend the rest of my time looking for those unique angles.

    • @BryanBirks

    This is the second video I’ve watched this week where (unknown to me) a GFX was in play.
    The need is real. Gotta get that big sensor energy in my life.

    • @BryanBirks
      @BryanBirks  24 дні тому

      It’s cool but you definitely don’t need it. Every photo could have been taken the exact same way with any camera after a 5D especially the black and white ones. I returned the loaner GFX because I didn’t really see any upside aside from more megapixels.

    Incredible photography. I'm glad you said what you said about taking the cliche shots. I've never been in the "don't take the cliche shots" camp. Idc if its been photographed a thousand times. None of those photos are mine. I want my own photo of it, even if it looks similar to someone else's.
