  1. How do you find the 5DMK4?  My MK2 fell over a waterfall cliff and gone forever so I need to upgrade. Was considering the Fuji XT2 but it's a crop sensor,. Your thoughts Nick. Is the MK4 a good replacement?

  2. Hi Nick,
    First of all "awesome video man" 👏
    I believe you're from WA right? I think I saw one of your videos were you mentioned that you're from WA state. Anyway, please tell me what is the ideal area to shoot the milkyway on WA? I live in Seattle and as far as I know E WA is the best?!
    Also if the milky way is south do I have to go south to shoot it? Or I can still go to a pretty dark spot E WA and point my camera South?
    I'd really appreciate it if you answer my questions.

  3. i shoot with a Nikon D7100 which is crop, and you mention about "keep in mind if you have a crop sensor" .. what am i supposed to keep in mind? like, i have a F2.8 and a 11mm length, so based on 500 rule would be about 45sec. With the whole keep in mind thing. I'm curious if that is right/wrong etc..

    also i am from Everett, have friends out in Walla^2. Going to Palouse in a few weeks. Hoping for some good milky shots along with in general hiking during the day.. love your videos.

  4. I deffinitly want to find an area around here where i can get away from light pollution and play around with some night/astrophotography. Im new to Washington and live near Olympia. Thank you for this video, it helps a ton.
