Hi all,
This is my first post and thus an introduction to myself as well as a question of advice.
This place was recommended to me by a fellow petrol head of mine, SparkUK. So here I am.
Basically I hold my private pilots license and at some point this year I will start my "hour building" towards my commercial license, whenever COVID stops closing my flight school...
Because I'm lucky enough to see some incredible views from the plane, and scenery when I land at places I figured that getting back into photography would go hand in hand and is something I wished I'd picked up during my PPL training.
So being a petrol head also I see myself having three use cases for photography;
In-cockpit photography
Landscape scenes
Motorsports & Aviation/Runway stuff
Given that I've not done any photography in anger since I was 18, now 31, I'm well out of touch with current tech and have spent a lot of time recently trying to catch up.
I don't want this to become a Mirrorless vs DSLR thread which at a guess you'll have had plenty of already, but what I do wonder is what you guys would recommend given my intended use...
My current favourite is looking like a Nikon D750, with perhaps a 50mm 1.4 for in cockpit and 70-300 or so for the Motorsport/Runway stuff, but I don't know whether to be looking at something like a Sony A7 iii instead with tech moving towards mirrorless, is it too late to be getting in and setup with a D750?
Very much welcome your opinions.
