Seriously Apple!!!!

I’ve hit a wall.  The new Sony RX100 Mark VII is not supported on the 2018 Apple iPad Pro running iOS 12.4.  And it probably won’t be supported with the new iPadOS coming out in about a month or so.  So what do I do for the next month?  I think I will have to pull out the Windows 10 laptop and edit photos and footage in ON1 Photo Raw 19.5 for the next month or so.  I’ve basically run out of space in Photos as well to import said photography and footage.  I know, I know, first world problems.  I need external hard drive support on the 2018 Apple iPad Pro.  I do not want to edit in Windows 10 or on a MacBook Pro.  I am enjoying the iPad Pro too much.  I just wish September 19, 2019 would come sooner so I could install Apple iPadOS on my iPad Pro and ditch the computer life forever.

Today at work I bought a mic plate for less than $7 so can attach either my Sony RX100 Mark VII or my Canon Vixia HF R800 and my Rode Video Mic Pro+ and use that for either 4K or 1080p video.  The Sony RX100 Mark VII doesn’t have the optical reach of the Canon Vixia HF R800.  

I am really, really bored with my I.T career. I just have no more will to pursue it any further.  I am enjoying photography and shooting video far more than I am fixing computers for everyone.  This will definitely be my last I.T contract in Ottawa. I am planning on moving to Calgary in early 2020.  When I was in Calgary back in 2017, I really enjoyed it. Going to the mountains every weekend.  Enjoying the mountains, forests and lakes.  Hell, the photo I took that I was thinking was just a snap that I edited in black and white was not going to sell,  Ever.  Now it’s my number one best selling photo ever on Shutterstock.  I’ve sold it almost 250 times since it being uploaded.

I am teaching myself how to use Affinity Photo on my iPad Pro.  I haven’t touched Photoshop in more than 2 years.  I really do not enjoy the subscription model Adobe is using to sell their software.  I paid less than $25 for Affinity Photo for my iPad Pro.  I also have it on my Windows 10 laptop.  It’s an awesome Photoshop alternative.  

Now it’s time to go for dinner.  Big Bone BBQ is calling my name.
