I have a 6D with a 50mm

Friend has a 6D with a 35mm.

I shoot regularly (horizontal) and he shoots vertically. He seems to get more background in his photos (we both do full body fits). Is this due to the vertical shooting style or more the lens?

Thinking of picking up a 35mm Sigma (where can I finance using Affirm besides KEH). Im going to London in a few and it would be a perfect excuse to pull the trigger on this. Or could I mimick this by also shooting vertically?

I hate to say this being your grandmother's funeral, but these pictures are dope! It seems they celebrated her life vices mourn their death.

Love!

appreciate it! the fact that there were a few months time between her passing and the burial, helped a whole lot with things not being so somber & sad; and i didn’t much have a clue what was going on so i tried to get pics of everything...there were a few moments that were too heavy emotionally to snap pictures but my aunt was stressing (more than her usual self) putting much of the stuff together so that it could be a celebration of her life

When I pass, I want people to celebrate my death whether they are happy that I passed away or happy for the time I was here. People need to be appreciative instead of asking why me .... many dont make it to my age.

i feel you but it’s tough, this was comparatively easy for me to deal with being i had only really met my grandmother once, spoken to her only a handful of times and she lead a full life into old age and was in declining health...in contrast to when my dad passed, the realization that we would never see him again, that this person i knew my whole life was gone when there was so much we hadn’t got to do, at a relatively young age...yea, celebrating was the farthest from my mind & why was maybe the only thing i could think...as much as you can know, intellectually, that having that perspective, appreciating the lives of loved ones is maybe the better route, you can’t really control that emotion, not even speaking of how we all deal with these type things differently...

Looks like this is the new Nikon full frame mirroless camera with new lens mount. Sort of looks just like an entry level camera or a Sony copy. I hope they do this camera right cause most of Nikon and even Canons new cameras tech have been terrible.

Peak Design is making a new bag via Kick Starter and this thing looks awesome. More geared toward traveling and shooting but it seems you can make it to any kind of bag you want it to be.
