    I May Jump Ship

    I've often made the argument as to why I couldn't see myself switching from Nikon to anything else, and I woke up yesterday feeling the same way. I went to sleep with a completely different mindset. Setting the stage, I shoot wildlife 90% of the time, primarily with a pair of D500s and 300mm...

    eBay Maddness and a Warning

    So I stuck my old Nikon gear on eBay since it's not getting any traction and within 5 minutes I got offers for the full value of the items asking if I could ship FedEx Priority Overnight today if I received payment immediately. I look and the buyer has zero feedback. I then remember that eBay...

    Z6 as a D500 Replacement?!

    So I picked up a Z6ii as my full frame camera after selling my D750 to sort of push me to a "have to buy" position, and was looking forward to it being my walkaround camera, figuring that my D500's would stick around as my wildlife bodies. In researching settings and focus modes I came across a...

    White Balance Shift from Lightroom to Photoshop with Z6 Raw File

    I've hunted through Adobe forums and have seen this problem reported multiple times but I've yet to find a solution. I just got a Z6ii and did a bunch of test shots with it and imported them into Lightroom and they look great. But when I go to edit them in Photoshop the White Balance has a huge...

    Is there a way to turn off the rear screen?

    I know the rear screen will turn off when you raise your eye to the viewfinder, but on my Sony a6000 I can set a function button so that the rear screen display turns completely off when I press it and will come back on when pressed again. On the Z6ii you can set a button to turn off the display...

    Highlight Display in Still Mode

    Anyone know if Highlight Display (zebra stripes) are available in still mode on any of the mirrorless cameras, or their 'ii' alternatives? Seems like this would be a nice-to-have in the EVF when shooting stills and not just for video.

    An 'Ethics' Question

    I'm guessing more than a few of us participate in various photography sites and clubs where there are "contests", most of which provide little other than self-satisfaction to the winners. Say someone is a member of an online site where these contests take place and they see an image that they...

    Which One?

    I need help settling a bet. If you were to score these two images which would you rank higher? Simple response is all that's needed (but I'm happy to hear add'l feedback), just say "Bird" or "No Bird"...

    Set Default function no longer in Lightroom

    I posted in another thread about how I thought a bunch of shots I'd taken with a remote trigger looked dark. They did, and I'm still working that problem, but when I imported a bunch of photos from my D500 yesterday I noticed that all the defaults I apply on import (camera profile -> Camera...

    Metering with a remote trigger (D500)

    Severely Underexposed Images (used to be about a remote) I did a bit of digging and I can't seem to find anything so I'm asking. I have my D500 on a tripod with a remote trigger to shoot nesting Flickers. The light at the hole varies wildly between sun and clouds. I have the camera set to spot...

    Backdoor Flicker Family

    About 3 weeks ago we noticed a male Northern Flicker enlarging a hole in an old, dead tree just off our property. The top of the tree fell into our shed about 5 years ago in bad winds (thankfully minimal damage) so we left the rest for the birds and woodpeckers in particular, so it was nice to...
