    Post your Photographing the photographer.

    Lucky you!!! It sounds like a perfect (almost I guess) place for a wildlife (or bird) photographer. Do you know there is a thread - Florida peoples: do you ever get bored? from BGF? Quite amusing! I am honored to visit and meet you there for a tour (if I can ever make it). IAW, thank you for...

    Where is the place (in Florida)? How can the bird be so close to people and let them take a shot? Are all birds or animals alike there? Are they wild animals? Why are you so lucky there?

    Sensor cleaning needed

    D7100 has a crop sensor, and D810 full sensor. Let's know if also smaller when you get swaps for the full sensor. Thanks

    Sensor cleaning needed

    I am not sure my sensor is clean if I am not sure my aided vision is clear enough to see dust particles/smears even under a flashlight... Sorry (for me), I need to see it clean in an image shot before the field run.

    I am interested to know how the Viltrox Z DX 23mm F1.4 AF prime serves you as a wide-angle lens.

    Sensor cleaning needed

    Received the cleaning swabs and used it with success. However, it looks like the width of the swab (for full frame) is a little smaller than the width of the sensor (z6ii). Is that a concern? But thank you guys! Before: After

    Set tripod height for wildlife photography

    What is the standard tripod height you set for wildlife photo shooting? Provided under a general nature scene: up sky; mid horizon; downfield or water. You may find (moving) targets in the air, on the horizon, in the near field, or on water (not some specific scene e.g., around a steep hillside...

    Sensor cleaning needed

    I think my z6ii hit the dirty sensor issue (see the image below, shot with z186 + TC1.4, FL = 252mm). First I use Zeiss Lens swipes to clean both z186 and TC1.4 with no effect: can still see the left mid-upper dot in EVF. Then I activate the built-in sensor cleaning twice but still see the dot...

    How to de-haze or moisture?

    Thank you guys. I did this: RawT De-haze, Gimp tone curve, Topaz DN, and color balance. But I like Clovishound's color rendition best.
