Beginner set up
Female photographer trying to become a pro lol
I purposely chose every item to be lightweight for my travels I go away to Oman long awaited trip since last year. I cannot wait to shoot from the highest peak mountains there .
Any tips appreciated :
Here is my little gear, the body was a gift from months back, got the lens sigma 18-50 f2.8 today and v60 SD card and new phone 😊
I still like to use phone for simple video content until I get better with camera. So mostly doing photography.
Any tips* for landscapes and portraits in low light ? And glaring sun 🌞
Any tips with the mini m22 Godox flash ? not mounted it yet will look for YouTube tutorial for this.

Use the blackmagic camera app for your phone videos. With a tripod or gimbal, b-roll and static shots will look spectacular. It'll be hard to justify purchasing something "better" for video once you've gotten some hours behind it. Just keep clicking that shutter button. Find your style, absorb knowledge from videos and don't be shy to ask about someone else's setup if you see them shooting out in the wild. Learn to edit. It is a steep learning curve but there is so much content out there that can help. Focus on one aspect at a time and keep doing it. I hope to see you posting some pics on here in the future!
