*Nice near to far compositional relationship and good usage of rule of thirds as the distant figure is right where he should be for the composition to work best . Color graffiti on the right side ...

*I failed to mention that skin tones are the best of the leading digital cameras as well ... Very nice portraits (skin tones) are a testament to what you stated .

*Yes , I find the control points especially powerful ... I would love to see an expert do a video of using control points in a few different places in an image to see what else I might learn .

*1/10,000 of a second shutter speed ?  - Why so fast for a typical night scene  when 1/250th of a second to capture moving people would have allowed you to use a much lower ISO ?  ... Your ISO ...

Of all the major makers of APS-C digital cameras , I believe Nikon DX cameras with the 24MP sensors produce the best color rendition and image quality available (ditto for FX models too I might ...

Very clean cathedral images !

Normally one would be correct to assume a number of things because I shoot with a budget Nikon D3500 . To me , the D3500 or any other DXXXX APS-C  DSLR camera Nikon makes is merely a life support ...

*Thank you for the examples - very helpful ! While many prefer the Z7 / D850 for the 46MP sensor - the Z6 / D750 / D780 24MP sensor does have special qualities and a certain clean  , richness too ...

*I currently have a Nikon 18-55 f/3.5 - f/5.6 VRII walk around zoom on my Nikon D3300 ... It's a nice lens but there may be sharper with better IQ ... Your favorite 3rd party walk around lens ?  ...

It is my understanding that when setting the appropriate sharpening levels for prints - generally the sharpening may appear to be too high or excessive  when viewing on a monitor versus the end ...

*Do many use a small grey card to set WB for outdoor portraiture ?

*Between the Z5 , Z6II and Z7II - which model do you believe will provide the cleanest image quality at hand - held higher ISO settings for shooting things such as :  Lighted bridges , downtown ...

Curious for those who use Nikon Capture NX-D to process RAW files if you found any techniques / tricks you now use that may not be documented in the on-line user's manual ?

I would think that for higher ISO images shot at night of city scapes / scenes that the Z6II 24.5MP sensor would yield cleaner more noise free image quality ... Any other advantages in image ...

*Thank you - well stated !

Just looking to inspire others and "prime the pump" :

Introduced in 2016 , so due for an upgrade replacement  ... What do you envision will be upgraded / revised from the current GFX50S model ?

*Much love for the same Australia music period : Hoodoo Gurus ,  Midnight Oil , Divinyls, Icehouse (and of course the more famous INXS , Men At Work , as well as NZ's Split Enz) ... Yes , I hope ...

*If I see some interesting wall art that moves me enough to capture - then I will post more . Shop and building fronts are also of interest and depending on the look I am after I will stay with ...
