Thinking about getting a fancy camera

[Wolfdog91 7,647]

You know,thinking about getting me on of those nice fancy cameras to have out here. Tons of wonderful opportunities from take some great pictures. Especially here in South Central Texas , wish I could have a go pro on our on the barge when where going though the locks too. So many cool sights around those. 

And my phone just doesn't seem to do everything justice.Last night went though a lock and had a small sounder of wild hogs out on the grass by the lock gates. Was shining my light on them and they just didn't care. The way the dew on the grass was dazzling and the light from the lock lights was lighting this hogs, man would have been an amazing picture to have ...jet black high razor back ridges , big glistening cutters.... O well maybe som things are just better left for memory alone.

Phone cameras have come on leaps and bounds might be better getting a phone with dedicated camera function. At least you nearly always have it about you.

Took both them on the phone as well 

worth spending ten mins on you tube watching how to use an iPhone camera as it’s a bit of a liberty just pointing and clicking and ignoring the myriad of features you can use

I went through the same thing a while back and ended up getting a second-hand Insta360 to get started. It's been great for both stills and video. If you’re thinking about smoother video, you might want to look into what is a gimbal—basically, it's a handheld stabilizer that helps keep your shots steady, especially when you're moving around a lot. Makes a big difference for filming outdoors.
