I’m slowly moving to my Z7 (not Z7ii) with the Z70-200 for some of the action photography.  Part of that has been the updates, but mostly it is me getting use to the camera.  Anything that ...

I have had two cameras for the better part of almost years now.  Currently a D500 and a Z7. I will not be getting a new camera until there is a Nikon equivalent to the D500 both in performance and ...

I really like pictures of stairwells in multistory buildings.  This pic is very interesting and very well done. pic two is also really well done. I like the use of space. thanks for posting. John

In Vermont, our last few days.  The pictures were taken a almost a week ago, but there was no cell coverage so I had no way to share them.  These were all lake life photos from Lake Bomoseen, VT ...

I was going to reply, but Bill mostly covered everything I was going to say. The two systems are enough different that you should keep the D500 as a backup until you have a good handle on the ...

I use the 70-200S. If weight is an issue I have the AF-P 70-300 on a FTZ.  I have no need for a 70-200/4.  I would rather see Nikon get the lenses currently forecasted into the stores. In the near ...

I have kept my D500 for small birds and critters.  The 200-500 mostly stays with it.  The Z7 has the Z70-200/2.8. After getting that lens the 200-500 has rarely been on the Z7.  The long lens ...

You old softy you. Congrats on the lens. I look forward to seeing more pictures with this and the other lenses. You are very talented. And yes, I envy your interaction with the bird.

That’s some kind of blackbird??  !!

Trying to get the last drop. That is a fun picture. John

Still in Vermont but moved west to a camp near Bristol. going for the 1980's oversaturated look.  Set picture control to Vivid in post (Capture NX-D)

Stunning.  That should go on a wall. John

Glad your exchange went well. Thanks for the update.

the house was abandoned, no longer a home.  Sad, it was a grand place once upon a time.

Renting is a great idea.  Working without the monopod would be ideal if you can get the pictures.  Often space is at a premium, and there may not be space to set a monopod that is not being used.

I don't use a gimbal head for my long lenses on a mono pod, but my Acratec head has a gimbal like setting I use. It worked well. If I had invested in a gimbal head I would be very tempted to try ...

The topical storm that was Henri stayed away from us today (Monday 08.23.2021) so the wife and I went for a drive.  It was afternoon lighting but some interesting skies with waves of clouds from ...

Nice Pic!  Good on you for helping get the story out.  I’m tangentially involved with dog rescue (have done some long distance driving) and it is really sad what is going on. Great photos help to ...

I agree with the others who have posted. You have set the aperture and shutter speed to values which required the ISO to go up. Steve Perry has some good material, both written and video, on this ...

I would get the Z7II.  I’m traveling most of the time. It would be nice to do the updates in camera without a card reader.  Taken with the long exposure, and a host of other items it is a great ...
