 R> great photos! what gear you have? (canon guy here ;) )

Sony A7iv and Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3.  I just got into photography last year, what a blast!  But already there is risk every time I go to the camera store - will this be the trip when I trade my car in for a better lens! :)  Just like with microscopes, I crave that expensive glass! haha

I have a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 also, and a Sony 85mm f1.8.  Wide angle is next on my list, haven't setled on a specific lens yet.

It's been really interesting getting into photography, once I began noticing light and colour and composition, I started realizing how little I really looked at the world before!  Nice to have a reason to sit and really look at things.

I started carrying kneepads in my car, since I never know when I'll want to get that low angle.  Gotta be prepared. :)

I went to a couple rodeos last year - lots of fun photo opportunities there!  A lot of dust (makes for some nice images but can also make for a dirty camera)!  At the Chilliwack Fair & Rodeo there were also motocross riders that were fun to photograph.  Between the bikes and the bulls it was a hell of a weekend!  Photo album: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAR6Jm
