I'm confident I won't top this photo by tomorrow.

9/29: Stopped for lunch at Horicon Marsh. No wildlife in the close-up sense and I am a bit crippled this month to walk out there. So some wide-angle of the nation's largest cattail marsh, or the small bit of it we can view at the southern end.

Nikon cameras won't send video in Bluetooth mode. You can only use Snapbridge as a simple remote control that way. This is why I think you are trying to do something impossible. In Wi-Fi mode your Z5 creates the wifi network that you join with the iPhone. That mode will send video data from...

I don't quite follow what your intended function is to be with Bluetooth. After you get a successful connection via Bluetooth, you petty much are limited to controlling the shutter-release and related functions. There is no photo transfers or LiveView available in app, certainly no way to change...

Congrats Woody! But wow, I thought I had a real contender here. 🤔

I actually have been extremely selective of which yo-yos and tops I threw into my studio light cube here.

@Robin W : When did you travel back in time and photograph my mother's back lawn? :D

In rural Wisconsin it is almost mandatory to decorate the front lawn with a bombed-out Ford. Here we have a GMC truck instead.

Even Jordan's review at Petapixel included all the footage of him bonking the camera to his face to use the missing viewfinder. 🤕

I know why marketing didn't do it, but let's be consistent in names. It should be Z3. Z30 is to Z50 as Z3 would be to Z5(II)

The extension setup is strong enough. And if you are like most, you will be using landscape mode more. I do not have the Bluetooth remote to comment on. I have been using the Snapbridge app for my Zf since the port for the wired remote was omitted on that.

9-23: Hey there cattle, I'll make you famous! ;)

It is best to stay away from the one-size-most type L-bracket and get one that locks in to your camera body with pins that stop twisting. I used Leofoto with great success on a D750, then tried 2 kinds for my previous Z5, and the 2nd one rarely was removed for 3 years. Here is the closest match...

Download and install Adobe DNG Converter (it's free still, but you may need to google search to get a link). DNG converter has color profiles for most cameras and can be accessed directly, or you can copy them to your own easier to find folder. This article shows how to apply them in...

I took the right photo last week 5 hours before the challenge went live. Sent back to the same city today, I tried recreating and did a few other angles. D600 720nm infrared converted on the Lake Michigan shore at Kenosha, WI.
