I love the close focus ability of the 24-70s lens, and the 24-120s is apparently even better.  For comparison:  The 24-70s has a minimum reproduction ratio of .3.  That means you can fill the ...

I think your blinking alert is normal.  I found an earlier thread on this topic, and I've been experimenting with my Z7ii.  As best I can tell, if Auto ISO is turned on, then whenever the camera ...

Thanks for your thoughtful and detailed reply!

Thanks for another thoughtful and detailed reply!

When you do HDR, do you use some post-processing feature like Lightroom's Photo Merge HDR to merge multiple exposure bracketed images? Or do you make tonal and other adjustments to a single image?

Thanks for the reply. I also shoot raw files and process with Adobe Camera Raw.  In that post-processing, I routinely make the same sorts of Lightroom adjustments you described -- I just never ...

The first photo seems underexposed to me, and it would help a lot to level the tilting horizon. In the second, I think I'd experiment with cropping out some of the mottled darkness in the right ...

I enthusiastically recommend Steve Perry's guide to Nikon mirrorless AF: https://bcgwebstore.com/product/secrets-to-the-nikon-autofocus-system-mirrorless-edition/ The book is very comprehensive, ...

Regarding the use of flash, I recommend the two articles linked to this old post: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65039291

I've got one of these and like it. https://www.lenscoat.com/lenshide-photo-blind-c-55.html?osCsid=01a14141f5f1473d3271a15c675ce90d I'm a little over six feet tall, but even so, this hide was much ...

Over several years, I went back and forth between PeakDesign and Black Rapid.  Eventually, I've settle into using the PD.  It's a very comfortable way for me to carry a Z7ii with a 500mm f/5.6 ...

Thanks for taking a look.

This was only the second time I've seen a yellow warbler. The first time was last summer, near Tucson. I took these photos today, in a wetlands near the Mississippi River about 25 miles north of ...
