We begin the hangout talking about Matt Payne's podcast F-Stop Collaborate & Listen. If you have never heard of his podcast or have been considering listening to it, this is your chance to hear from the creator yourself what makes his podcast different interesting and why I definitely recommend it as a way to feel like you are hanging out with some of your favorite Landscape Photographers. Listen to F-Stop Collaborate & Listen here:https://www.mattpaynephotography.com/f-stop-collaborate-and-listen As we start getting into the Mountaineering Photography discussion I check whether he made the leap to a smaller camera body mirrorless system and he has as expected from someone paying attention to every pound in his bag. I am able to play the devil's advocate and get some really candid feedback from a guy who switched from Nikon to Sony and what the cons are if any to the Sony mirrorless options out there. Matt's Why he chose Sony article & weight spreadsheet: https://www.mattpaynephotography.com/choosing-sony-full-frame-camera-equipment-for-backpacking-and-weight-calculation-tool It should be noted, Matt doesn't have a Sony A7R3 and so he was not able to comment specifically on that model. Then we hear about Matt's Photography process, how he approaches his compositions as well as some inspiring advice on how we all can benefit from changing our perspective and expectations when going out to do photography so that we can get the most out of the experience. And keep the motivation to keep on keeping on! To round out the podcast, Matt shares with us some mountaineering adventures and words of caution for those of you considering more hiking and mountaineering photography in your future!
