This weekly topic serves as a place for forum members to share recent work with our Nikon Z cameras. It's OK for Z owners to dazzle us with images made with other cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with similar cameras to compare notes, chops, and sensibilities.

Using Threaded View helps to keep each person's contribution and responses linked in a tree-like structure so replies/discussions are easier to follow.

To begin:
  1. Add your contribution for the week by responding to this, the first message in this topic.
  2. Change the Subject of your message, then embed your image into the reply with whatever you’d like to say about it. (Embedding makes it easier to participate, easier than a link to an image located outside the forum - but links aren’t a great offense).
  3. In order to make things easier for our cellphone users, please limit the number of images in one post to fewer than 10, and don't quote images in your replies that are extraneous to the points you're making.
If you especially want C&C (criticism/critique) or technique feedback, say so. It’s assumed one does want such feedback, but direct requests may garner a more studied analysis/response. If you don't want such feedback, say so, and others will respect your wishes.

If you feel you've been ignored, select your post, reply to it with a brief note to the effect of "Can I get some feedback?". Not getting feedback on a post isn't uncommon, so don't feel offended - no one is charged to ensure all posts get attention (we're not organized enough for that). If you want particular feedback (composition, exposure choice, etc.), saying so can be helpful for the potential respondents as to what your needs may be.

It is courteous and advisable that, should you post images for feedback, you also make comment on at least one other contribution. Respectful acknowledgment of everyone is the goal, and it’s requested that all participants assume some responsibility to that end.

C&C always welcome!
 
I visited this week, and took my 10mm lens (ignore the exif). This artist produces some of the most beautiful glass. So amazing. If you have a chance to visit, I'd recommend.

I've just purchased a used Tamron 70-300mm 4.5-6.3 Z. Here are a few of my first shots.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing. These photos look very clean even though some of them are at ISO-s above 6400. How does the Z6iii compare to the Z6 in terms of low-light capabilities?

I don't notice much difference between the 2. I still shoot with my Z6.

At this high ISO, you wont see much noise for a few reasons. First, I wanted to keep the high contrast, so I didn't raise shadows much. Second, On some I ran Denoise in LR, which had an easy time of it. No artifacts, since the bright areas (no noise to remove) were the subject, and not many details in the darker portions that needed recovery.
 
For around 40 euros or dollars used you can get this nice 50mm 1.4. Pretty easy to nail focus and nice rendering. From 1971

Here's some testshots. Gonna take it out for golden hour now for more tests.

At f1.4

I am looking for a light-weight affordable telephoto and this one is now in my consideration.

I like the colors and contrast, even at higher ISO.

The framing is good on all the shots.

Thanks.
 
All animals are cute but I love big cats in particular.

Nice shots.
 
Lights, smells, sights, sunrises, sunsets.

All you have is today, especially in these times.

Thanks. I'm very happy with the lens, it's better than I expected it to be, very good value for money in my opinion.

It was an overcast, rainy day so I brought two SB-5000 with me; one on camera and the other off side on a stand. Mostly just to find something to shoot for practice with my flashes. I don't use them nearly as much as I should/could.

From my trip east. Something for my "West that Was" collection.
