    I'm a fairly new follower, I found you through your Sony A7 iii tutorial. I've binged so many videos, you are thorough and also you make things realistic? I'm a photographer but I often get stuck between an idea and the actual process of creating, but I like watching your videos because they have clear steps? Even pros get stuck sometimes! And it's great to have you to help me get unstuck.

    Hey jason! i've been watching you since day one. I'm not an alpha user. I'm a fuji but most of your tips when it comes in photography really helps. hoping sooner I could have enough money to buy sony the one I'm eyeing is the a7iv paired with 24 - 70. but my fuji will be staying as I just love the color science of it. looking forward for more videos from you! stay safe!

    I did a big client portrait shoot last week with my new a7iv and the jpegs look AMAZING especially the skin smoothing.
    But when I open the raws I am kind of shocked how ugly the colours look in comparison? Previously in my experience raws would just look flatter but light room is showing my a7iv raws in a strange way. Looks like there's contrast and clarity and the colours look so muddy.
    Basically resorting to editing the jpgs lol,
    What could be causing this problem?

    • @JasonVong
      @JasonVong  Před 2 lety

      I feel like if tripod is not allowed, I think they will also prevent you from bringing in a monopod as well. I haven't tried personally with a monopod. However, I have been okay'd with a mini table top tripod in the past. But for my last trip to Top of the Rock in NYC, I just use another camera as a tripod 🤣 as seen in 1:42 of this video.
