Hi Julie, please, what do you have on the sony alpha IV? battery grip? External launcher? External disk? Or? thank you for answer.

Or is it the trigger cable from the external flash? I am thinking of buying a camera :). Does it handle the backlight so well in the video, or did you use an external flash or reflector? thanks in advance

shutterstock is a black shop I bought a five-picture package from you for US49. I downloaded three pictures for the first time. When I downloaded the second time, you didn't show any price or it was different from the package I bought or prompted to download it, and my credit card was automatically charged. After the second US199, the credit card monthly statement was sent after the discovery. When registering an account, a credit card was naturally bound and different prices were mixed into the package I bought, but I didn’t know the situation and downloaded it, that is to say, your website design is a trap, and you don’t care about goodwill to protect your own interests. Now you send an email to express no. Refund, I suspect you are a black shop.

Thank you so much! I felt inspired from your videos and tried some backlight photography on my dog, but I think the sun was too much behind her so my camera struggled to focus on her and she got a bit blurred out and a "white layer" was plastered all over the photo from the sunlight hehe. I think I need an ND-filter too, I haven't used one before but maybe it will help with such things.
