Here's a couple available light shot in the wildflower plot out back this afternoon. It's followed by a couple flash shots after.

I also shoot RAW + JPEG, but for a different reason. I have the camera save JPEGs to my SD card, and NEFs to my primary CF Express. I use the JPEGs strictly as an emergency backup. I can shoot for months before filling up the SD secondary card. I much prefer to work with RAW files, but can live...

Great dragonfly image. I notice you shot this with a long tele. I like the working distance that provides, and the really nice out of focus backgrounds, but....... I've had focus issues. Perhaps it's because I'm used to shooting macro with a 105 and flash, giving me the flexibility of using...

I switched to shooting RAW a while back. I have been shooting some pre-release capture images with my Z8 recently, and they are JPG only. I had forgotten the limitations of JPG images vs RAW. IOW, I'm with Browncoat, shoot in RAW and forget the in camera Picture Controls. You will have more...

Normally, the price you pay for a longer zoom ratio, the difference between minimum and maximum zoom, is poorer image quality. My recommendation is to get a 70-300mm zoom lens. The good news for these is that they were the included lens in a lot of kits, and are available quite inexpensively...

Same bug, different victim.

OK, enough of the weird and somewhat disturbing looking critters.

Could bee!

Went out this afternoon in between bands from the tropical storm coming by. Caught another bug eating bug image. And these two were still at it. :rolleyes:

Welcome. Photography is a great retirement hobby.

The stuff of nightmares: I'm sure glad these things aren't the size of a pony.

MPB has the 28-105 for $129 in excellent condition. MPB 28-105 Nikkor They also have he 28-85 for the same prince in good condition. MPB 24-85 Nikkor One nice thing about MPB is that the pictures they have are the pictures of the actual item, not a stock image. That gives you a better idea...

That's the way I read it before updating, but I wanted to make sure that Nikon didn't pull an Apple trick and try and brick things when it detects a non OEM component attached.

Another bugs eating bugs image. I found these bees settling down on some thistles for the night.

It depends on the camera. Most, if not all, Nikon Z cameras support charging through USB connection, as do some DSLRs. You should be able to use a standard cell phone backup battery and the appropriate connector cable. Check your model's manual to see if you can charge via USB connection.

The starburst through the window really makes this image. Nice job.

I updated with a Nikon Z lens attached. I then tried using some non Nikon extension tubes. I now have a large crater in my back yard. OK, just kidding, it worked fine. Of course, I'm pretty sure the extension tubes don't have any electronics in them. They do have connections between the lens...

Here is an example: This image was shot in early morning. The light was fairly even, as opposed to harsh daylight. The tree behind the birds is in shadow, this would make the meter try to even things out and expose just a little under for the shadows, and a good bit overexposed on the bright...

Just because the meter says it's the correct exposure, doesn't make right. When you have a scene that has a large difference between the lightest parts of the scene, and the darkest, there will be portions that are either under or overexposed. In this case you have a lot of the scene that is in...
