And yeah, he went on to do some crazy things with align.. I really have been out of the circles for maybe 6 to 7 years, so not really sure what he or anyone else(except the ones I still have on my Facebook that I only check once a year or so) is doing.. From note 5.. |

And lol, don't boot to ssd.. Lol.. If your motherboard has the slot, use a m.2 drive! They are the ultimate in speed(like insane ), and the price isn't too, too bad at all.. And I actually am running an external enclosure for mine.. I can't remember what controller is in it, but it goes to my esata port, and everything is pretty much instant.. Sequence(timeline) scrubbing and renderingis snappy, even in After Effects with pretty loaded projects. My current editing system has the Asus motherboard, m.2 boot drive, 32 gigs of ram, 1tb cache drive, 2tb external raid, Intel 4.0Ghz i7(the 4790, which now is I think 2 generations back, but it's an absolute beast!), and the gtx970(i think)4gb version(i think it's 4, lol I never remember that stuff after I build it) and I think that's it.. Oh! And don't forget cuda! Be sure to get a Nvidia graphic card to take advantage of cuda! That does help tremendously with the Adobe applications.. From note 5.. |

And micro, another long-standing brand.. But, lol, you building a server or dual processor setup? And from what I read the 1070 is a great card.. And the 2600, I think I considered that one also.. Another beast from what I remember.. But you'll have fun and be surprised at the same time if you haven't, like myself, built a new machine in a few years.. This one renewed my love for the build honestly.. If you can, go with the 99 chipset.. At the time at least, that was the newest one.. The tech, of course is ahead of the 97 I have.. I want to say more things are on one of the bus lanes of the cpu, including the m.2.. I think.. But things are so much more efficient and faster now.. Oh, and your power supply isn't as critical as far as wattage.. And along with that, if you go with Asus, your going to love the new bios! It's awesome! From note 5.. |

I ended up renting a Tamron 60mm macro lens to play with. I got some surpringly good shots for a newbie. Here are a handful.. Some of these were taken through the viewing panes while others were taken with a top down viewer. I didn't play with ISO settings. I only played with white balance and F Stop. I think most were at F22.

A few fish pics. I'm not good at the fish. Since they are always moving and don't sit still long enough, I probably need to learn more to get better pictures and likely need a better lens for them.

It's been a while since I lurked in this forum and I went straight to the photography section After my 180 reef tank crashed three years ago, I decided to pick up a new hobby. I went though my fair share of Sony mirrorless and currently have the A7RII and A7s. I just sold the A6000 four months ago and was happy with it but mainly used it for vacation and underwater pictures with a underwater housing. I would definitely recommend joining your local photography meetup groups, I learned a lot from experienced members. Good luck with your A6500, I've heard great reviews with that camera (no more overheating from 4k videos). I would also recommend sticking with native lenses for faster autofocus. I only kept my MC-11 to use with a Sigma 150-600 (canon mount) since Sony doesn't have that focal range yet.
