So I've been into photography for a number of years. Honestly I have lost track, but if I make any kind of guess I would say it has been 15 years. I started working my current job I believe near the end of summer or August 2006. It was the winter of this particular years that I had bought my first DSLR camera which was a Canon EOS Rebel. However I do not remember the model at this time. It was not the cheapest of the beginner DSLR cameras, but it was still a beginner camera.

Some years later after some experience, and adding a certain number of lenses to my photography roster, I switched to Nikon and bought a D3100. Still a beginner camera had I, with it's kit lens as well as a macro lens. Even today the macro lens is my most used lens.

It had not be long until I felt that I had grown out of this camera and became ready for the big boys. I had bought my first full frame camera which I was still held by Nikon which ended up being the brand new D600. The D600 was said to have had problems with oil or something getting on the mirror and I believe also the sensor. Because of this problem I had switched lastly to the Nikon D750 which I have had maybe the longest of any camera. It wasn't until last weekend that I have decided the D750 was not modern enough or advanced enough to record high quality video. It is my idea to really make creations to post on my YouTube channel to feed anyone who would grace my channel.

The Sony A7IV happened to be that camera of choice. So far I am getting used to this thing and it's features. Along side this camera I purchased a DJI RS3 gimbal to add that smoothness and cinematic motion to my video creations so that they might have more appeal.

It so far has not been given much thought as to whether or not I will offer my video creation services in my business, but still remains to be thought out. Also this depends on how much ready I feel that I am with it. However, I plan to use and create videos as commercials for my business, or to tell a short story or a quick quote with video and animated text.
