If you don't own a CFexpress card reader, I would highly recommend you purchase one. They are not expensive, and downloading those large image files is extremely slow over USB connection. At least that is the case with my Z7ii.

I can't imagine why, but I could try my Z5 next time out.

Well, for me it was just about drawing the eye down and away from the tree and the sun. The first image posted has a minimalist simplicity with the contrast between the soft water and the harsh, crisp lines of the tree. Yes, there are the small branches and the reflection of the tree trunk to...

I hadn't thought much about the footprints. They don't really bother me, but it may clean things up a bit by removing them.

I tried removing the grey without success. I think it may be from the light fog we had that morning.

Thought I'd post this for contrast. I was giving the RAW files another look to see if I had overlooked something that needed editing. I found this image that was taken 3 minutes later from a different angle. It doesn't resonate with me as well as the first one. I did remove all the other root...

I worked on smoothing out the horizon to the left of the tree. Photoshop remove does such a better job than LR does.

With this site, planning is required. You not only have to look at the high tide times, you have to look at how high the tide will be. We thought we had it all figured out, and earlier this year we got up at 4AM and drove down there, only to find that the tide was still too high to even get on...

Don't know if this would be better in the evaluation section, but since I hope to get a discussion and some back and forth, I will post it here. I impulsively posted this image in the weekly challenge before I had thought the editing through. I would like to briefly go through the shooting and...

Congratulations!

TRT: Takeoff Rated Thrust

Be aware that the bellows posted has no electronic connections. That means that if you are using a lens without an aperture ring, like the ones you mentioned in your post, you will have to jump through hoops to change the aperture. I have a D3400 with the 18-55 kit lens, and tried several...

No, it was a 15 sec exposure. I tried some longer exposures and was getting elliptical stars.

Another issue is that at extremely high magnification, depth of field becomes razor thin. Even with small apertures, it is going to be challenging. If you don't go the bellows route a focusing rail may help. If image quality is a priority, I would look at a prime lens vs a zoom kit lens. Also...

Should have gone TRT.

Touch and Goes? Or maybe a max weight takeoff?

If I go out to the beach here in July, I'd have to bring a baseball bat to keep the mosquitoes and gnats from making off with my gear. Seriously, I found the exercise interesting, but I think I'll stick with macro and birds. If I didn't have to drive an hour to the beach and then hike a mile or...

No. I was pretty busy slapping the gnats, helping my daughter, and trying to figure out the basics to do an HDR. I should have. Is that what would have given me a clear image of the milky way?

Well, I just got back from the milky way outing with the CNPA. I was rather disappointed with the milky way I got. Not terribly obvious. I think I got the comet, though. I was using a 24mm focal length so it's not terribly large. Look in the lower right hand section.
