Shot of my rig, an ‘05 Silverado 1500. At the Bonneville Salt Flats under the Milky Way.
I shoot a Nikon D810 and generally have a 24mm prime mounted to it.

I shoot mostly commercial (some military/warbird) aviation, sometimes I give nighttime photography a shot using a Sony RX100, not that I'm any good at it, but I enjoy it, am currently using an old Canon 7D with the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 lens.
Shot with Sony RX100 M1

Had a go at shooting a car event last weekend, let me know what you guys think?
I used my Canon 7D and Canon 70-200 f/2.8 lens in Tv mode.

Nice! I like the sharp detail in the smoke. What shutter setting did you use? Would you do anything differently next time?
I had my first go at photographing humans moving quickly (dancing). It’s difficult to find the sweet spot. I’m using a Canon 5D Mark IV. I used the program (P) setting, AI servo, narrowed/raised the focus points, and set a minimum shutter speed. I may try Tv next time with similar settings.

Thanks!
I used a 1/500th shutterspeed and as for doing anything differently next time, I'd probably lower the shutterspeed abit more and focus on panning instead of "point camera at the car and click" type photography.

Added this new lens to my gear today. My primary is a 18-135 IS STM lens, and got a 50mm 1.8 prime.. But I had been eyeing this lens for more zoom for quite a while and found a deal I couldn't pass up.. 70-300 mm USM mark II
You can mount any F mount lens to the 5500, however since the 5000 series is on the low-end/entry level of DSLRs you might not get certain features to work.
Obviously, older manual focus lenses will not auto-focus.
Certain older lenses that do not have built in focus motors will not auto-focus.
If you stick with newer AF-S or G series lenses you should be alright.

I shoot mostly wildlife and cemetery(yes, cemeteries lol). Still consider myself very much an amateur. Traded most of my Nikon gear off this year and moved to Sony.

It is interesting how social media have influenced video and photography, everything is now shouted in portrait rather than landscape mode.
Cemetery photography is very serious, impressed
