What I said is a little confusing but 100% accurate. Sony outputs 8bit, but because the external recorder ONLY records 10bit, it actually re-wraps the 8bit signal into a 10 bit 422 container......at which case, there is no benefit for low light recording, in fact, just the opposite. You get a cleaner noise floor shooting internally.
That is totally correct, but you're still not getting what we are saying. PRORES is minimum 10bit. The output of the Sony is 8-bit, but once its recorded to Prores its re-wrapped into 10 bit. (its not real 10 bit in this case, the space is unused, but it is technically in a 10-bit container) Check the white papers on Prores for a deep dive. you'll find all this down below. :) support.apple.com/en-us/HT202410
MAKE. ART. NOW. That is 100% irrelevant. If the original signal is 8bit there”s nothing you can do to better it. You can record it to a 20bit container and it would be the exact same. So, that was kinda of a silly test. Great video anyway!
HEY GUYS A FEW THINGS TO CLARIFY. 1. You can use 120p slowmo at night, the base noise values will be a little higher than when shooting at 24p or 30p, but its still doable! 2. The custom picture we made KILLZ noise at the expense of dynamic range and it forces a lot of dark areas into down into the shadows, if the profile looks too dark for taste, try the black levels and black gamma at +2 instead of -2. This is for YOU guys to experiment and try. 3. This video was meant to give you my profile that works for me, it may not work for you, it may not be suited for someone just learning. So experiment around and give yourself time to figure it out. Good Luck!
It's not a hack, you can do it by manually inputting the settings instead of using S Q. I use my 4K 25fps 100mbps on the 1 Dial and HD 100 fps 100mbps on my 2 Dial. (Don't have 120 fps because I'm from europe and we use PAL)
Josh, thank you so very much. Tried your settings on a night / open air / super basic lighting concert (and very dark skin black singer) and it worked great... Yes, darks are more present/evident, but it was ok. Especially noise wise: inexistent or almost ! You're awesome... ... I'd love you to give us a guide for daylight slog settings too (a general one, I understand it's very variable), would be awesome for noobs scared of slog like me haha... Thanks again for making me dare to use slog haha!
I bought this camera because of you, Truly an amazing camera! Can't wait to try this PP out tonight! These settings worked great on my Ax100 & Ax700 4k Camcorders!! Thank you so much brother
I love how he actually explains the why behind what he's doing. A lot of tutorials out there would just throw numbers at you and tell you this is the perfect solution for everything.
After watching this a couple of times AND "liking" it, I didn't think that was explained clearly at all. It looked like a spreadsheet rough guesswork with nice results. The following is just my line of thinking, I'm open to it being corrected. - Dropping saturation makes sense for "wiggle room" as he correctly says, but later he states that it helps with noise, which I'm really not sure why that would be at all. Noise "happens" on the sensor. When the desaturation algo kicks in later, it doesn't care, it can't differentiate what's noise and what's not, it doesn't know. So once you try to bring the colors back (which you're going to), you're 1) going to experience the wrath of 8-bit 4:2:0 color encoding which had less info to differentiate when encoding, 2) your denoiser I suppose might also stumble because of that? maybe and maybe not. - People should understand the main idea and I didn't feel it was explained. AFAIU the idea is to crush lows completely cause we only want something that's lit up, shortening the dynamic range but not quite. So how exactly the new profile helps with that? By manually sacrificing stops. I don't think most people got it from the ad-like tone that the channels has to keep up, that's the style. But it's not like the profile is somehow upgrading the camera's sensor. It's a good middleground between REC.709 and Logs. Which Sony includes out of the box?.. :) I also think that measuring noise with Neat Video before grading is sus, exactly because the saturation in-camera was lower, so naturally it has "less noise" cause the pixels don't differ that much. But we ARE going to bring that metric (saturation) right back up in post, and it's going to be, at the very least, less detailed now. Probably not a problem, but probably not an advantage. We never saw a PP2 vs "new profile" comparison, if I'm not mistaken. "This profile is going to work on any Alpha cameras". So how does one define "works"? There are these settings, yes. But it would look pretty bad on my Sony A7ii all things considered cause my sensor is way worse and I can't shoot 4k without an external thing. Do you count that as misleading? It's not out of bad intention, but it's absolutely not a tutorial. It's an entertainment video. One thing I agree with: most "tutorials" are much worse. There was one peep who was complaining about S-log2 SO MUCH, how bad it is and how you can't work with it, and I had better results from a _screengrab_ of his footage in 2 two minutes than him from raw material. People don't know what they're doing, and you can tell. Here, it definitely looks the part, which is great. The man knows his job. All the inserts, all the editing, the tempo, the switch-ups, everything.
2nd time watching (revisiting) this tutorial a few months after watching it the first time and it's just miles better than most other tutorials out there. Staright to the point, super informative, very well explained (especially the logic / math behind the custom profile) and like all your other videos just gets me fired up! Such a beast at videography!🔥
Absolutely. So much in there to digest (and so much that Make.Art. didn't say that were the many tiny conceptual steps that give him the understanding to make the choices he did). Plus I found myself trying to figure out HOW he made the shots he showed -- this guy CAN DO videography. Thanks for the gift of knowledge!!!
2 years later and this video is still relevant. Your work is inspiring to video creators all over the internet. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your service and dedication!
I used your settings tonight and...........they actually sucks........NOT !! Your settings blew my socks of !!!!! WOW, this was really something !!! No noise, good colors and so on. Thank you so much when it comes to low light !!!!
I've spent countless hours watching shit about cameras and this camera specifically and have never seen it done better than this across the board. You're the man. You give amazing value and explain everything so well. Glad I found you. Keep crushing it, man. Subscribed for sure.
going to use cine2 thanks to this video for lowlight, which sounds counterintuitive to this video. thing is, i'm okay w/ a lil noise, but i'd like a faded look. slog3 is too faded, noise & hard to work with. slog2 looks pretty enticing too, but then again, slog2 is a stop lower than cine i believe? therefore, increasing exposure should introduce more noise in the shadows. don't quote me on it though. i'm a newbie/amateur too! just an educated amateur :P it's personal preference. great video!! the still gamma has too much contrast for my taste, but it is indeed the cleanest look!
Loooved the actual mathematical explanation behind the profile dude, much more intuitive than a lot of other videos where they just vomit a series of numbers at you followed by "trust me. I be a photographer". Kudos man!
Perfect timing! I am going to shoot my son’s concert tonight with an A7iii. The theme is 80’s night. Maybe we can have some fun with the colors in post. Thanks for another great video.
Sorry for the super tardy reply. I got caught up with other comments right after the original post. The set up at the concert didn't really allow for great footage secondary to limited angles and cramped quarters. However, I did just finish a project for a family trip down to Coronado. I used Josh's custom PP2 profile for some low light footage around the outdoor patio of McP's Irish Pub (Coronado), which came out well. The patio had multiple green fluorescent lights with large multi-colored hanging bulbs strung overhead. I didn't have to color grade too much as per luma waveform or RGB overlay to achieve an exposure and color distribution to my liking. There was a lot of room left to tweak. The footage was similar to his "Chinatown" shot in this video. I used S-Log2 for daytime footage and Variable ND filter for convenience chasing around the family, trying not to miss the moment. I'm nowhere near a professional, but loving every bit of the hobby and trying to capture memories the best way that I can. Thanks for the tips, Josh!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL So love this video, however, I have yet to shoot video-I specialize in portrait shots. Does this profile work for stills as well? My A7III (regardless of lens) is far too grainy in low light. Thanks in advance for your hopeful response. Huie (Bay Area)
honestly I don't know why it took me this long to find your content but you are quickly becoming my favorite channel to learn from.. keep killing it !!!
just bought an a7iii and want to start doing more video stuff and i somehow just stumbled upon your channel. this vid checks like every box for me, love the borderline-neurotic analysis. your style is also dope, love how straightforward your presentation is. that's a DEEP SUB from me pal
Wow Josh, you really are a genius dude. And honestly i think you should be making feature film movies staring as the lead actor. You're super talented and have the X factor man. Keep the videos coming and all the best.
I just finished editing a video I started recording in the afternoon but most of it happened at night and the colors and noise were really bad. After a google search I ended up in this video. So my man, I can only say thank you. Your research was well done, this video is very informative and straight forward. Love it.
Out of most of the tutorials I have watched that show settings for low light, none reduced the noise as well as this one!!! Saved as my go to night profile. Close to perfect blacks with no noise. Yes please.
I make quick test on my a6300 with your settings and Im really impressed.. I shoot all my night videos on slog2 and I was quite happy about clean look but after test I see that I have better colours , more light , less noise... must check It in outside conditions but great job men! Definatelly sub ! lot of knowledge here ! Thx!
Hi, thank you for this great video! What about exposure? You said to expose for the midtones and it's ok. But do you overexpose like log (+1.7/2.0) or keep the +0.0? Thank you!
Went back into my watch history and searched low light to find this video again because the settings worked so great for me the first time I used it on my A6300.
always said nerds will conquer the world, i'll be your assistant when it'll happen. switching from canon to sony, and THIS VIDEO, DAAAMN boi...thanks very much from italy.
Hi - can you clarify your definitions around lowlight? I'm looking primarily for twilight settings for real estate shots. Most of your footage examples were definitely Night. Would this profile work well for twilight? Or would you tweak it? If you did tweak it, what would you adjust? Thanks! Awesome videos and teaching style BTW
Dude I was struggling with figuring this out. I kept getting freakin ugly noisy footage on a camera known for great noise control. Your video is awesome much appreciated. I tested and right away huge difference!
holy crap. Thank you. I have a wedding reception to shoot tomorrow on my Sony a7iii and this is exactly what I needed. I have some lights and a quick lens but this is the nitty gritty I needed.
Just be careful as with this profile you will clip lights, so you may want to test a few shots out first. I would recommend potentially shooting normal profile off in that case and use the lens to expose.
I JUST set this up on my 6300.... it MOST CERTAINLY DOES! I FINALLY have a Picture Profile that I can shoot at night w/ 8000 ISO and VERY LITTLE VERY LITTLE Noise! It's not majestic, but it certainly is awesome for those late night weddings where folks make grand exits w/ sparklers, bubbles, rice etc. Go ahead and install it already lol

This is by far the best custom profile i’ve ever seen in youtube. I set it, used it, and worked perfect!! I would love having a good profile for normal situations. I don’t know, but s-log hasn’t given me the no-noise look at daylight.
I've been searching for good settings for night shooting on my a6500!! I haven't been thrilled with the cinegammas at all in low light and have stuck to slog2 even in very low light. Stills gamma is impressively clean though! I ran some of my own comparison tests and I've found that I was happier with stills when black level and black gamma were both set to 0. That seemed to capture a little more detail while still remaining super clean although it seemed there was something about the -2/-2 that I liked that I couldn't quite place my finger on. Your thoughts on that and why you chose to drop black setting? Is in camera settings like this different than dropping levels in post due to the way signal is processed? Also, even at ISO 6400 (when I can get a proper 2 stops overexposure) slog2 seems to capture so much more information than any other gamma at the cost of just a bit of visible noise (which may be unacceptable to some) after applying the free (and awesome) renegade2 slog2 to rec709 LUT. Neat video may be enough to make it useable though. I know the science (bro science included) says slog2 is a no no in low light especially at high ISO where dynamic range is supposedly crushed. I have been getting fantastic results. I can only imagine the ff a7iii results would be even better. It's a topic of high interest to me because I shoot a lot of low light and I want to make the most of my camera and I'm very open to discussion on this.
120p is clean in the day, and noisy in low light. so use a very fast lens, try bringing in practicals or use ambient line. use the profile I made, but keep gamma and black gamma at 0. and last try breaking the 180 degree shutter rule. You may be able to get away with shooting 1/125 shutter speed instead of having to shoot 1/250 (this will vary from subject to subject, the slower moving subject the better) GOOD LUCK!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Gamma and Black Gamma? In the options for Gamma, I only see options such as "Still", "Cine1" etc. I don't see any numerical values. Were you referring to "Black Level" and "Black Gamma", Both set to 0?
I remembered this video from a few years ago, and I'm about to go out and shoot some stuff at night where I don't want to bring my main camera because it's kind of shady, and so I still have my a6400, and so just when I needed something like this, there you still are. Thank you so much! So Awesome. (OKay... I'm editing this now that I just got home after testing this with my Sony a6400. Damn, Yo, this is insane!! I never understood when people would say the Sony a6400 was such a great low light camera. I was like, "really???????", but I used your settings tonight, and ..... wow. I'll just say that. Crazy high ISO settings, although I shot with the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS lens at f/1.8, which was really helpful, but still, high ISO and pretty much flawless. Crazy good. Certainly useful as an incredibly "under" understatement. I'm sending every Sony shooter I know to this video so that they get schooled on this. Such great information, and actually an amazing contribution for people who are smart enough to take advantage of it and learn from it. What RUclips should be. Mad stoopid plethora's of thank you's, in multitudes!!! So awesome.)
Since this is a Sony video I know exactly how to increase its views big time watch.Once you go up on Sonyalpharumors youll become a big shot. Working on it
Thanks. looking forward to it. I am following you to improve my daughter's youtube channel. appreciate your help bro. keep up the good work. I already subbed...........thumbs up
Awesome video - would love to see a similar one on how you hand SLOG / Daytime settings and grading ( particularly with talent / skintones etc ) - keep up the great work!
Josh! Any tips / settings for how I can expose for both a dark room and a bright tv screen. I'd like to be able to film both things but what I am noticing right now is when I film the dark room, the tv is way blown out
Hi guy, you are very professional :-) Thank you very much for your best settings for my SONY a7 for nigh shooting. Picture is very nice, i have little noise when i using big ISO. Thank you very much!
I could not wait to try this. A friend of mine does light and sound for events. His last event was inside a cave. Super crazy location. And I shot some nice B-Roll for his company. Thanks to your settings there is no noise in the shadows and the highlights are crispy.
Thanks ,I'm most cannon user & recently switched to Sony videography. Got a couple projects shooting the solar eclipse in low light away from the city lights. This setup profile its perfect .

Sony a7iii can't do 10bit
What I said is a little confusing but 100% accurate. Sony outputs 8bit, but because the external recorder ONLY records 10bit, it actually re-wraps the 8bit signal into a 10 bit 422 container......at which case, there is no benefit for low light recording, in fact, just the opposite. You get a cleaner noise floor shooting internally.
Yes it can, just not in the body as he said clearly, 10 bit was with external monitor with HDMI output, cheers!
That is totally correct, but you're still not getting what we are saying. PRORES is minimum 10bit. The output of the Sony is 8-bit, but once its recorded to Prores its re-wrapped into 10 bit. (its not real 10 bit in this case, the space is unused, but it is technically in a 10-bit container)
Check the white papers on Prores for a deep dive. you'll find all this down below. :)

Dude. Your videos are beyond awesome m. Thanks for this profile & all the data to back it up!
Thanks man!!!!
Hi, thank you for this great video! What about exposure? You said to expose for the midtones and it's ok. But do you overexpose like log (+1.7/2.0) or keep the +0.0? Thank you!
fabio alferii I just asked the same question 😂
Did you get an answer to this question?
Went back into my watch history and searched low light to find this video again because the settings worked so great for me the first time I used it on my A6300.
always said nerds will conquer the world, i'll be your assistant when it'll happen. switching from canon to sony, and THIS VIDEO, DAAAMN boi...thanks very much from italy.
Hi - can you clarify your definitions around lowlight? I'm looking primarily for twilight settings for real estate shots. Most of your footage examples were definitely Night. Would this profile work well for twilight? Or would you tweak it? If you did tweak it, what would you adjust? Thanks! Awesome videos and teaching style BTW
Were you a part of Kung Fury team, too? Amazing devotion and and editing! The world needs good guys like you.
Not sure I know kung fury. Is that a band?
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL It's an epic fun short movie. Definetely check it out! ;) It's available on RUclips.
Hi it was a great tutorial! Can you share your day light picture profile set up? Appreciate it! Thanks
Dude I was struggling with figuring this out. I kept getting freakin ugly noisy footage on a camera known for great noise control. Your video is awesome much appreciated. I tested and right away huge difference!
This is the best video i've seen that explains low light in a way that's easy to understand. Two thumbs up
FUCKING BAWSE MODE content quality. 5-stars bro. SUBSCRIPTION ENGAGED.
This is my new fav thing. BAWSE MODE. Love it...you BELONG HERE. Thanks for jumping on board.
Thanks bro you made me now 100% keen to buy the a7iii
amazing b ro
The analytics is impressive!
Thank you!
You should do an episode explaining everything you did in davinci 😭
Thanks!
dude i have watched this video 100 times and i just realized how much you audio has improved
damn great video!!! so much more info than every other channel!
Thanks man, that's what I'm going for!!!! Stay tuned!
Awesome video man
You deserve more subs
We all start somewhere. I personally like smaller channels and feeling more connected with creators. Thanks for the Sub and kind words!!!!!
Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we deserved
Why am I watching? I don't even have an a7iii 😂
If you watch this three times in reverse, an a7III materializes in front of you
You have an addiction
Get one trust me
@@spectres_garage I shoot everything on mine. Im gonna play with the night time shooting tonight!
I'm also. So we wants😁
holy crap. Thank you. I have a wedding reception to shoot tomorrow on my Sony a7iii and this is exactly what I needed. I have some lights and a quick lens but this is the nitty gritty I needed.
Just be careful as with this profile you will clip lights, so you may want to test a few shots out first. I would recommend potentially shooting normal profile off in that case and use the lens to expose.
This is the most epic low light camera tutorial I have ever seen. Subscribed!
Thanks Yo!
Will this settings work with the Sony a6300?
Would really like to know as well!
I JUST set this up on my 6300.... it MOST CERTAINLY DOES! I FINALLY have a Picture Profile that I can shoot at night w/ 8000 ISO and VERY LITTLE VERY LITTLE Noise! It's not majestic, but it certainly is awesome for those late night weddings where folks make grand exits w/ sparklers, bubbles, rice etc. Go ahead and install it already lol

Works like a charm on my A6300 dont go above 3200ISO and you are safe, GL
Awesome video, at least, someone who really know how to explain
This channel is dope! Subbed. It's like Peter McKinnon in the early stages
BBBBBBWWWWWAAAATSUP! .......
This is by far the best custom profile i’ve ever seen in youtube. I set it, used it, and worked perfect!!
I would love having a good profile for normal situations. I don’t know, but s-log hasn’t given me the no-noise look at daylight.
The best high quality of information in a ytb video about sony picture profile i ever saw. GJ! You won a new real follower.
I have a question.
Can i use this picture profile on my Sony a6300 and get similar results ?
Yup!
I've been searching for good settings for night shooting on my a6500!! I haven't been thrilled with the cinegammas at all in low light and have stuck to slog2 even in very low light. Stills gamma is impressively clean though! I ran some of my own comparison tests and I've found that I was happier with stills when black level and black gamma were both set to 0. That seemed to capture a little more detail while still remaining super clean although it seemed there was something about the -2/-2 that I liked that I couldn't quite place my finger on. Your thoughts on that and why you chose to drop black setting? Is in camera settings like this different than dropping levels in post due to the way signal is processed? Also, even at ISO 6400 (when I can get a proper 2 stops overexposure) slog2 seems to capture so much more information than any other gamma at the cost of just a bit of visible noise (which may be unacceptable to some) after applying the free (and awesome) renegade2 slog2 to rec709 LUT. Neat video may be enough to make it useable though. I know the science (bro science included) says slog2 is a no no in low light especially at high ISO where dynamic range is supposedly crushed. I have been getting fantastic results. I can only imagine the ff a7iii results would be even better. It's a topic of high interest to me because I shoot a lot of low light and I want to make the most of my camera and I'm very open to discussion on this.
So PP7 for bright day and PP2 for low light... Is this a good quick decision?
Hands down the best tutorial on color profiles I’ve ever seen! Thank you for putting so much effort into this!
I didn't know a person like you existed...finally someone talking tech and showing them. Keep it up. I am subscribing you!
This profile plus anamorphic lens = eyegasm.
Mate wtf u are talking about. This is nuclear physics for me 😂
Dammit - this was SO useful, cheers. 😊
I see what you did there. :)
I learned a lot through Your real and loyal tutorials , thank You brother for sharing these complex stuff with us . God Bless You
You’ve saved the day! Thanks so much! Which picture profile should I use during the day outside for weddings?
Thanks Bro!!! This was awesome !
whats up bro lol
Bro My Brain is hurting LOL .... Great Tutorial man wish I was as smart as you. LOL
So, what if i wanna shoot 120fps at night, how can i maximize the result?
120p is clean in the day, and noisy in low light. so use a very fast lens, try bringing in practicals or use ambient line. use the profile I made, but keep gamma and black gamma at 0. and last try breaking the 180 degree shutter rule. You may be able to get away with shooting 1/125 shutter speed instead of having to shoot 1/250 (this will vary from subject to subject, the slower moving subject the better) GOOD LUCK!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Thank you so much for all the info. Keep doing what u r doing! Love the channel!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Gamma and Black Gamma? In the options for Gamma, I only see options such as "Still", "Cine1" etc. I don't see any numerical values. Were you referring to "Black Level" and "Black Gamma", Both set to 0?
If this were reddit I'd guild this
you single handedly sold me on the sony a7iii your insight is unmatcheddd
I remembered this video from a few years ago, and I'm about to go out and shoot some stuff at night where I don't want to bring my main camera because it's kind of shady, and so I still have my a6400, and so just when I needed something like this, there you still are. Thank you so much! So Awesome. (OKay... I'm editing this now that I just got home after testing this with my Sony a6400. Damn, Yo, this is insane!! I never understood when people would say the Sony a6400 was such a great low light camera. I was like, "really???????", but I used your settings tonight, and ..... wow. I'll just say that. Crazy high ISO settings, although I shot with the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS lens at f/1.8, which was really helpful, but still, high ISO and pretty much flawless. Crazy good. Certainly useful as an incredibly "under" understatement. I'm sending every Sony shooter I know to this video so that they get schooled on this. Such great information, and actually an amazing contribution for people who are smart enough to take advantage of it and learn from it. What RUclips should be. Mad stoopid plethora's of thank you's, in multitudes!!! So awesome.)
Yes I love those lights
Doing a video. You just made it happen.
You rock 💪🏽💪🏽
Since this is a Sony video I know exactly how to increase its views big time watch.Once you go up on Sonyalpharumors youll become a big shot. Working on it
Thanks. looking forward to it. I am following you to improve my daughter's youtube channel. appreciate your help bro. keep up the good work. I already subbed...........thumbs up
Awesome video - would love to see a similar one on how you hand SLOG / Daytime settings and grading ( particularly with talent / skintones etc ) - keep up the great work!
Funny story, that thing you did for the intro happened to me while I had a thumb pressed against a molar, and I broke the tooth in 3.
What?!! Ouch!
Sub here :) Thxs for the speedy class
Josh! Any tips / settings for how I can expose for both a dark room and a bright tv screen. I'd like to be able to film both things but what I am noticing right now is when I film the dark room, the tv is way blown out
WOHHOOOO SUCH a SCIENTIST DOING A REVIEW ABOUT THE HOT A7iii .. I am sure I will repeat this video over and over again ! THANKS
What lens were you using?
I think Sony 24-70 2.8 GM
Will it work with Sony A6500?
Try ;)
Thank you so much for the Custom Profile! NOW I CAN FINALLY SHOOT AT NIGHT!!!!!
Shoot away!
BRO, that was one of the best and easiest to understand videos.
Used it on a Sony a7s mark 1 and works great thank you for your hard work bro
Greattigs from Mexico 🇲🇽
Hi guy, you are very professional :-) Thank you very much for your best settings for my SONY a7 for nigh shooting. Picture is very nice, i have little noise when i using big ISO. Thank you very much!
Awesome! My pleasure!!
great video! do these image settings also apply to the sony a6300?
I would like to know also. I think the science should be the same? But a6300 is just in general worse in low light i think
They should....try them out! I don't have the camera so I cannot be certain. Let me know if they do!
Science 👨🏻🔬
that was a yn360 ?
Not a scientist?!? You are f-ing Einstein compared to me. I didn't understand any of that, yet I couldn't stop watching. But I don't do video.
Awesome! Thanks frank!!!
I could not wait to try this. A friend of mine does light and sound for events. His last event was inside a cave. Super crazy location. And I shot some nice B-Roll for his company. Thanks to your settings there is no noise in the shadows and the highlights are crispy.
Thanks ,I'm most cannon user & recently switched to Sony videography. Got a couple projects shooting the solar eclipse in low light away from the city lights. This setup profile its perfect .
dude. you are a freaking godsend. #allhail
Ha! I don't know about that, but I appreciate the kind words!!!
more late night china town edits!
I agree!!!!
The real MVP. Just got a a7iii. Not gonna lie, your style is everything I dream of doing. SO MUCH RESPECT. ❤️❤️
Thanks Razer!
Amazing amount of information in one video. Now that you did all the tests, I do not have to! Thank you for your time Sir!
