HEY YOU!!
If you've read this far down, I'm guessing you're looking for some more info. So - Hi! I'm Tracy, I have a passion for photography that I'm currently trying to create into a business. I love working with other passionate people, and that's what I love to photograph too (when I'm not photographing my own kids, lol)! So I'm heading into Brand Photography (I'm also a total nerd for marketing and branding. I could talk for HOURS about ideas. ) I'm also a Mum, and we homeschool our 3 kids and live in small town New Zealand. Thanks for coming along to my video - please drop me a comment (or come DM me over on FB or IG) if you have any questions about the video's I could answer for you! I'm also always creating templates and guides and notes for myself too - so have a look over on my website. www.redandthewolfphotography....

I have a 5D classic and mark 2. Love them.
I purchased a couple of extra batteries for them and I have a portable solar panel that I can charge them with when I’m out in the field.

That's such a cool idea! Great especially if you're doing nature or landscape photography!

It's interesting what you said about looking through the viewfinder with a DSLR. One of the reasons I went mirrorless is that I can shoot video while looking through the viewfinder, something I can't do with my DSLRs. It's especially handy if you're shooting birds.
I tend to go for Wasabi batteries for my cameras. They're not a cheapo brand and they're reliable, but they are cheaper than the genuine Nikon battteries. Keep in mind, Nikon and Canon, etc, aren't battery manufacturers, companies like Wasabi are. I have heard that the new Nikon Z6iii will only work with genuine Nikons though.
Good to see your subscriber count in the background is going up every time I watch one of your videos. 201 as I type this.

I guess that's one bonus of the mirrorless, everything can be seen through the viewfinder. I find myself in a funny space and time - loving the technology that can help me learn and start a business, but still loving the mechanical aspect of some things.
My concern with the on-brand batteries, is that if there's ever any issues, I can say that I followed the instructions and used what was provided. In my older cameras (both of which were second hand), I just used the cheaper non-brand batteries. But when you really splurge on something like the 5D and the 24-70 lens... there were a few things I wanted to make absolutely sure were the "right" thing to protect it. And yea, I'm super humbled to watch my numbers go up each day. It's a bit weird, because I'm still learning myself, but it's really nice. And the coolest thing, is getting to chat with people around the world like yourself! Just mindblowing. :)
