From yesterday morning at about 6:20am. I had to coordinate this shot with my wife on our earpieces just to get this shot. Thankfully the city is still dead. Just wish those two cars weren't there. Would have made the photo even better.

I ended up copping da 6D with only 6k shutter clicks, and my 24-70 f4 Lens coming in a few days. I sold the 7D II
first time with full frame and I’m never going back to crop sensor
Yup. I think I’ve been using this lens almost 80% of the time. It’s just so damn sharp and rivals my primes. Only thing bad is it’s heavy. The 70-200mm for the Canon R looks so refreshing but just do damn expensive.

if you’re going to be shooting a lot of sports/wildlife the 7d mk2 is great. If not i would get a 6d Or a 70d/80d
Some interesting lenses there. I don't think I have ever used any of them aside from the 50mm. A lot of those lenses aside from the 50mm might have some sharpness issues but if you aren't a pixel peeper, don't worry about that for now. Just practice in using the camera from looking at light meter in your camera, changing apertures, shutter, etc. Perhaps know what you want to shoot first and focus on that before you try to shoot it all. The thing about photography is there is so much to learn from the equipment, editing, accessories, style of shooting etc. But glad you are starting. Just don't get frustrated cause it takes a lot of time.I ended up getting the 7dmkii and 5 lens for $1200
figured it was a gapped deal.
not sure how these tense are but I'm about to read and learn.
anyone have any sites recommendation for starting out.

Check out some YouTube channels. There is Tony and Chelsea, Matt Granger, Fro Knows Photos, Kai Wong, etc. They can get you started on things but feel free to ask any questions on here too.
Been bored so shot some product photography shots of my bike that overlook the Bay Bridge. The hardest part of the photo oddly was making sure the bike stood up on a stick I had. It fell 3 times and just was a pain to get straight. Then the rest was easy enough. Shoot a photo of the city at a long exposure, focus on the bike and light paint it with an LED and then focus on the water to get another long exposure of that. The editing took about an hour with some cloning and other things but over pretty happy with it. Just wish the composition was a little more interesting and not so flat.
What kind of boutique stuff? Jewelry, clothing? That is an interesting photography genre. I dabble in it here and there with some sneakers and what not but it can be a lot of work but it depends on if you need to be that crazy. Lighting is the biggest thing with product photography and setup. It's not even necessarily the camera at times but just prepping your products you want to shoot whether I be nice background, if it is say a shirt to clean it and make sure it is not wrinkly and so much more.
