Seeing these is definitely on my bucket list.

[–] Midnight_Ice@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

You definitely need to see them in person. Pictures and videos don't do them justice.

Thanks! They were insanely active that night.

What gear were you using? Love the shot!

[–] Midnight_Ice@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you!! I'd have to pull up the RAW for the complete specs, but I shoot with a Nikon D3400. This shot was probably taken using my wide angle lens.

[–] SouperSketchy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very cool! Haven't had much hands on with Nikon.

[–] Midnight_Ice@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do like it, but if I were to get something new I'd probably switch to Sony if I'm being honest. Nikon is okay but their software has always felt like it's lacking. Their apps for transferring files from camera to phone are very outdated, and having a camera that allows me to remote shoot using my phone would be really nice to have.

Definitely go with Sony in my opinion. I recently got the a7iii and I love it dearly. I mostly do video work though. Eventually I'll upgrade to the fx3, better suited for filming.

Good to hear you like it! I will definitely make the switch to Sony if I ever get the money to do it haha
