Dual Gain shooting is a little different, so I plan on making more content around this in the future. I'll update this page as I do more testing, and probably make a few YouTube videos about this.

‍

If you have anything you'd like to see in particular about this, as I'm actively testing this now (or when my pre-order actually arrives!), send me an email and let me know what you'd like me to include in this test. Send me an email via the form on the contact page.

Updates, with the Algorithm

Algos decide what you see. As a person who both makes and consumes content on social media, this is maddening. But this is the world we live in now.

In exchange for your email, I will send you a digest once a month of everything I've made, along with some cool stuff I've found on the internet.

If I'm busy, I forget to send the emails, so it might be an email every other month sometimes.

Either way, I wont spam you. I don't have that kind of time.
