      I ended up selling my Sony A7ii. I wasn't using it since getting another Leica M8. The IQ on the Sony is actually too good. The photos almost look like the went through to much post processing.

            Figured you might 😉

            Price is far more reasonable than Manfrotto and the quality is comparable.

            The tripods hex centre column is a really great feature!

                I'll definitely let you know how it compares to your Manfrotto's!

                  Hey everyone. I know there is a lot of expert photographers in this forum. It's time to welcome another noob into it. I know basic photography terms and practices. But still never tread past auto focus. I have got a Nikon D40x that was gifted to me a while back. This is probably laughable on this forum. But DSLR cameras are very complicated compared to an iPhone. So. I notice a lot of people have the hand clicker to take photos and probably decent tri pods. Any suggestions on where I could pick up some entry level stuff. My roommate just plain isn't interested in taking WAYWT pics for me. So any help is appreciated. Thanks stubborn crew!

                    Then get something like this:

                                  Hey everyone.  Got a question for you all.  I snapped some pictures today and noticed a few things.  I read there are some benefits to direct sunlight vs. indirect sunlight.  Here is a picture of direct sunlight OD:

                                  and indirect:

                                  Now.  I know there is a difference going on here.  But I'm not sure what exactly its called or what its doing to picture… please help a noob out.  Thanks everyone!

                                    not to sound to abrupt but you have kind of answered your own question .
                                    one has sunlight and one does not allthough it may be a bit more technical it depends what you are looking for .
                                    the second picture (indirect ) is better but there are a lot better and more technical photographers on here than me ,direct sunlight has its place but its just knowing when and where to use it and what you want from the picture ..
                                    kind of like looking at the sun then just turning to one side and looking ,make any sense ?

                                        Haha. I guess I was just looking a little too far into it. I didn't know if there was like a specific term or something I was missing. But I agree with you. The 2nd one does look better.  But thanks for the response!
