I often use the shadow protection slider in NX Studio. The Nikon raw files can be pushed a fare amount.  I’m using files from the Z7 and Z9.

My neighbor from the Washington DC area caught unaware.  I now live in Tucson but my friend and his dear wife visit Bahia de Kino, Mexico often to see friends.  This year we joined them.  This is ...

John, I too will recommend you look at ebooks from Steve Perry and Thom Hogan.  On you tube there is a very good setup video by Hudson Henry that has been recently updated to include the some of ...

I agree with Kai, great images.  I posted photos just before you. I was not paying close attention and posted my pictures in the wrong week.  In fact it was likely my post that led you to post in ...

I have not tried.  I just don't like the idea of using my phone.  My other Nikons did not have that feature (D70, 70s, 300, 600, 500 and Z7).  The Z9 has it and I am one of the lucky early owners ...

Thanks for the complement.  This was a fun exercise.  This trip was about visiting friends so I took only the Z7 and 24-70/4.  There was some down time and I took these. It was late in the ...

Some pictures from the little hotel we stayed in while visiting Kino Bay, Sonora, Mexico.  It is off season there now.  I walked around just as they were getting ready to close for the day so I ...

Yes the pictures are great and I agree, that Im very glad you're able to get out.  Welcome back. John

When I first started digital with the D70 in 2004 I soon started taking a pic of a grey card and setting the WB from it. I was shooting jpg at the time. It made a real difference.  When the D300 ...

Yes the z9 is my first flagship camera. Other Nikon cameras were FE2, N6006, D70, D70S, D300, D600, D500, and Z7. I enjoyed all the cameras but because of income and later family responsibilities I ...

The 85/1.2 is coming just in time  …

I think the pups like the lens.  It, the lens, leads to play time.  Great pictures!  I really like the two together and the one with the retrieving training toy.

I agree with others that he is out of his depth with this lens.  I might be more inclined to listen to his views on the upcoming 85/1.2 when it comes out.  But he has never impressed me in general ...

These are inspiring!  I feel a road trip coming on.  Thanks for these and the others.

Congratulations!  Here's hoping it is not that long a weight.  I was thinking about this lens, well dreaming really, and I agree that it is likely a better choice for most.  As long as the funds ...

Wow, I am so sorry for your family’s loss.  I feel so much better giving my cameras to my brother’s children now.  Some have used the cameras others have not.  But what if…. Glad the camera could ...

I had to do an update.

I traded in my D600 and several lenses for a Z7, 24-70/4 and a FTZ just about four years ago (Jan 2019).  I kept the D500, 105 macro, 70-300 and 200-500. With time the D500 sat on the shelf at home ...

Wonderful work!  Your work while not being the same, reminds me of Nick Carver's work with a full format film photography.  This is just beautiful use of light and composition.  Thanks for the ...

I am thinking about getting a Z 50mm lens for family, friends and pups pictures. I am just about convinced to get the 1.8 but every time Lance post something taken with his 50/1.2 I think about ...
