A little background, a lot of Charleston SC buildings were damaged during the "big one" Aug 31, 1886. Instead of rebuilding, many of the damaged homes were repaired using "earthquake bolts'. These were large, extremely long bolts that spanned from wall to wall in the building. Caps were placed...

MPB includes shutter count on a lot of it's cameras. They also include a picture of the actual camera being sold, not a stock photo.

Unfortunately, at over 10 years old, it is unlikely anyone will have a copy of a superseded firmware still on their computer . Good luck, maybe someone will have it.

The Z7ii can be powered by the USB C port. Just plug in a USB C cord to the camera port, and the other end to a power source. Either an external battery, or a wall plug converter. I would prefer the battery. It is far more portable. They are readily available as backup for cell phones. You could...

The latest firmware for that camera is A:102 B:101 Here is the link for it (just click on the Firmware tab) : Nikon download center

I was going to do a quick wash of the car today and discovered this guy sitting on the roof. I quickly dropped the hose, and grabbed the camera. I wish it were a better background, but decided to try and get angles where it didn't look like it's sitting on a car. OK, this may not look like a...

Another question for Bingo76. Are you using a tripod? I don't do sports, but I sometimes shoot birds in flight, which has many of the same elements and challenges. If you are shooting in bright conditions, a tripod may be more of a hindrance than a help. The advantages are it will help you...

Did they take your friends? Sorry, couldn't help myself.

All three posted pictures show an ISO of 100. A lot of folks think that you have to shoot the lowest ISO to get good pictures. While low ISOs are great, a sharp image with a higher ISO is much better than a low ISO, but fuzzy shot. As was suggested before, shooting in manual mode with auto ISO...

I went out back this morning and carefully set up my tripod and shot one image without the filter. I then shot another with the filter and at the same aperture, changing only the shutter speed. This was in bright light, so the long exposure was only 3 sec. I could not tell any substantial...

Looking at the full sized version under magnification, I would say the eye is as sharp as the rest of the bird. This was one of the first few images I used Topaz on, and unfortunately I over sharpened it a bit. Like many, I got carried away with the new software toy before settling down. Not...

The VR version is much higher rated than the older non VR lens. My daughter has the VR version, and it is a good performer IMO.

I normally try and get birds from eye level as much as possible. The big issue I have with that is that often there is foliage growing along the banks and it can be a choice between getting the shot from a higher angle, and not getting the shot at all. The last was shot through a small gap in...

The subjects I want to use it for are ocean waves splashing among trees in the surf. I looked at the full sized image on my computer. I think I somehow missed focus. I probably was concentrating on the long exposure so much I didn't really pay attention to where the AF was focusing. I just now...

What lenses do you have, and what kind of photography are you interested in?

Another trip to Cypress Gardens this morning. I went to try out my new ND filter on some moving water, while I was there I checked out the trails and swamp. Found an easily accessible wasp's nest. I grabbed several images, but decided to exercise the better part of valor when they started...

I've been wanting to try my hand at long exposures, with a mind to using this technique at a local beach. Here is the beach. This photo was taken at 1/6 sec. It has the look of motion, but I want to try some much longer exposures there to get that "fog" look. So, I bought a 10 stop ND filter...

Glad it worked for you.

Thanks, I really didn't think about compatibility. I assumed all the 3000 series were inter compatible.

My daughter has the Nikon AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR lens. She got it as an upgrade from the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED kit lens that she already had. It is a very good lens IMO. It has several advantages over the kit lens. It is more robust(should last longer and endure...
