So, I had a chance to test out the new Sony A9 over the past week, and I’ll have a full review soon. However, I wanted to share my experiences shooting with this new camera in an area where it may find a very strong following: Golf. I took the camera, along with the 70-200mm…
Every year, I like to take a look back at the photos I took throughout the last 12 months and see how things have progressed. 2016 was an incredibly busy year for me outside of photography, as many of you may have noticed. I am sorry that I have been so thin on reviews the…
