Love watching tips and seeing others perspective. Its how a freelancer builds. The more you learn and get forced out of your comfort everything starts to become easier.

That shot looking straight down over Columbus Circle is complete madness.

Love this video but man I'm torn!

I have one body with 3 lens choice, 15-35mm F/2.8, a 70-200mm F/2.8 or a 24-105mm F/4, from the sounds of it it seems like 24-105 will be my best bet but will have to make some compromises!

I have a canon eos rebel t7 with the lens’s 18-55mm & 70-300mm. I’m going at sunset in the beginning of May. I’m new to all of this and was wondering what you’d suggest. I’ll be flying with flynyon. Idk if you’re familiar, but… mine is doors off, and I’m just kinda trying to figure out what to bring. I was thinking both phone and body but idk if that’s something they’ll approve of I’ll have to email them
