In this week's episode we continue right where we left off in our last episode. An afternoon after the morning hike in El Chalten filled with food, cute animals, and good times between Sophia and I. She teaches us about Yerba Mate and her opinions on it's flavor experience. We get some Ice Cream and then head out to catch sunset where I break down how I captured a pretty challenging image. Sophia enjoys the clouds and teaches us a new photography technique that I think all of us will benefit from.
The new morning we hike up that steep mountain again and experience quite a lot of wind. The photo I end up with isn't my favorite but still glad I get something from that morning. We barely catch sunset that night as the timing changed rapidly but still wind up with something worthwhile. Our last morning has some absolutely gorgeous conditions, just in the wrong direction!

    The platform switched to bots because Elon didnt feel like payi g real people for human error and prejudice/racism...theres no reach and there really isnt a point in posting every day. The bots randomly select anyone to add to explore. People, comments or posts arnt doing it. Also many people pages are being flagged for spam if posting daily so many business pages have also been pulled for posting daily and the bots arnt programed to give your page back ao once your called pjt for spamor for vulgar comment you never made its because their bots. Its BS. The algorythm doesnt exist. Everyone just gets lucky from the bots and try to make it a fact as a clout chase. Its very unfortunate and discouraging but the bots run everything and Everyone away and i see it turning into Myspace cuz everyone is going to tiktok to avoid the BS 😢😢

    My Father wanted to travel the world’s oceans. So after he died, on my next holiday to Ireland 20 minutes out of the port of Holyhead I launched his ashes from the back of the ship I was on with a glass of whiskey in my hand. Now every time I go to Ireland, 20 minutes out of port I have a drink of whiskey and say hello. I miss him terribly, but he got what he wanted. Enjoy your travels my hero xx❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing. Very touching ❤️

  • @hungaryspring
    @hungaryspring 6 днів тому

    Up front, I’m going to come to Apple’s defense. Reading the remarks here about what Apple should do regarding their willingness or unwillingness to make a “pro” camera seems a bit ridiculous. Apple isn’t in the business of making pro level cameras for millions of people, they’re in the business of making and selling the best small sensor camera they can. That said, I think Alex is being a bit disingenuous about Apple using marketing hype and computational software to back up their claim of “seven lenses” to support upgrading from 14 pro to 15 pro/pro max. There isn’t a professional photographer in business that doesn’t use computational software in the editing of their images. The instant a photographer pulls an image into Lightroom is the instant he or she starts relying on computational software. So, not much difference between the 14 and the 15/15 Pro? Who cares. Seven different lenses that rely on sensor reduction to support their claim? Who cares. Most pro level DSLR and mirrorless cameras give the photographer the ability to instantly change from a full frame field of view to a cropped sensor FOV enabling the same lens to extend its reach, reducing the number of pixels that are available for light gathering as the trade off. Upgrading from an Apple SE 2nd generation phone to a iPhone 14 or 15 pro/pro max phone-lightyears of difference. But banging on Apple for misleading the public about its seven-lenses-in-one claim isn’t fair or reasonable. No professional photographer would expect this claim to be true. But millions of people aren’t professional photographers, they’re just regular folks who use the best camera they have-the one that’s in their pocket when they need it. And the iPhone 14 and 15/15 pro are damned nice cameras to have in one’s pocket.
