Well, it's not called "people on the street" photography.

The Pup and I got up early and headed up the road to Swan Lake. Didn't do as well as when we went in the spring. Here's a few.

I got mine from my dad. When I was a kid, I liked to go watch him develop film and prints in the darkroom he had set up in his shop. After I got married, I got the bug and set up my own darkroom. Now my daughter and I go on photo outings.

I guess I'm too old school. I started off with a Argus C4, rangefinder camera. Not that I want to go back to the manual everything, film days.

Well, I went out back this afternoon and set up my camera bag as a target and tried several different modes. I think I may need to switch to continuous mode more often. It seems to work well enough on absolutely stationary subjects.

Do you have access to another Nikon camera to try this lens out on?

"Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away!"

If I were buying for my Z right now, I would likely spend the extra and get the Z 180-600. Don't get me wrong, the 200-500 is a great lens, especially at it's price point. The Z lenses I have are definitely a cut above IMO.

Enjoy your new to you camera. We look forward to seeing some of your work.

When I got my Z7ii earlier this year I noticed I was having issues with soft images with a number of different AF area settings. I found that single point gave me good results, and I have been using that for almost all my shooting. When I'm not shooting macro, I use my 200-500 with an FTZ...

Try setting your aperture to it maximum aperture. Turn off the camera and take the lens off. Look through the lens and see if the aperture is small, or if it is wide open. If it is small, then the aperture mechanism isn't working properly. It could either be an internal fault in the lens, or...

You could probably make do with a 14 MP camera. That is especially true if you are primarily posting on social media. Having said that, I'm sure you will be happier with a 24 MP camera. If nothing else, it makes cropping much easier. I have found the AF-P 18-55G VR to be a surprisingly good...

Did you sedate him to be able to get that close? I've found woodies to be very skittish.

You mentioned using the flash. Does it work properly when you are not using the flash, and adjusting the exposure to the correct exposure for available light? If so, the issue may be the flash. There could be a problem with the communication between the flash and the camera. If the camera...

Went out late this afternoon to shoot a fountain long exposure at a local park. Discovered they had a Halloween festival going on. Went to another local park nearby since I was out. The light was almost gone, but I had my tripod with me. I had trouble deciding between color and B&W. I should...

Are you sure she's not looking at you with lunch on her mind?

Yes, that is an absolutely top notch image. It highlights the humanity of of the nuns. We often have a stereotypical idea of them being somber. The immediate reaction is a dichotomy between behavior expected and behavior observed. In reality they can enjoy an ice cream and a good laugh just like...

I appreciate the help. I will go out tomorrow night and see if I can spot it, weather and trees permitting.

Finally edited the last of the Birds of Prey images. Whew! Here are several.
