FreeWells K2 Filter System versus their Quick-Swap Magnetic filters

Mark Galers Alpha Creative Skills 2023-03-29 | FreeWell K2 Filters: indiegogo.com/projects/versatile-magnetic-filter-system-k2/reft/13493183/markgalers

In this video I look at the filters I use to capture movies and extend the shutter speed of landscape images. I look at the two Quick Swap 67mm Neutral density filters I use on my 20, 35, 85 and 135 primes and also how I have adapted to use my my compact primes with 49mm filter threads. I then look at Freewell's new K2 magnetic filter system which uses 1-5 stop and 6 to 9 stop Variable ND filters. I look at the advantage s and disadvantages of using variable ND filters.

Wrist Straps - Why I primarily use them with my cameras

Mark Galers Alpha Creative Skills 2023-03-20 | This Video features wrist straps and attachment points made by Peak Design and Wotancraft.

Sony FE 20-70 F4 G Lens Review

Mark Galers Alpha Creative Skills 2023-01-17 | Sony FE 20-70 F4 G Lens Review
This new Sony lens adds an ultra-wide 20mm angle of view to the standard zoom (normally 24-70).
In this review I seek to explore the full zoom range to see if this lens will be of interest to those photographers looking to travel light by ditching the need to take a 16-35 zoom or 20mm prime.
