I was thinking that I wished I'd had a high magnification setup to get just the eye of the toad. I thought I'd just get an idea of what it would look like by severely cropping the second photo above. I was surprised at how well the image managed with rather extreme enlargement. I did run it...

Walked out in the backyard this afternoon and found this guy. He was very cooperative.

The one time I don't double check my links to see if they work....... Thanks for the save, Woody.

Great WD photos. I was a little obsessed with getting some decent WD pics earlier this year. Around here they are normally very skiddish. There was a small group of them at one location that grew up there with a fair amount of people around. I was able to get fairly close and get some nice...

If all you are looking for is remote release, this should do it quite inexpensively. remote release If you prefer a Nikon brand, they run a little more, but are still fairly affordable. Alternately, you could just use the camera timed release feature. I use that whenever I want to release the...

I only shoot RAW. I could have the camera save a JPG as well as the NEF, but really have no use for a full sized JPG at this point. If I want to see something I shot on a bigger screen while I'm out and about, I have a small card reader that will plug into my 10" tablet and it will load NEF...

Here is a comparison of straight from the camera and after post processing. This is straight from the Z5. Original NEF file with no presets. Subject is a little underexposed, and overall it is a very flat image. Here it is with a little processing. Perhaps a little too saturated for some...

You probably just haven't watched enough Dr Who. The series started in 1963 and is still running, so there are a lot of episodes to choose from.

The Tardis was a police box, not a phone booth.

I don't worry much about the "look" of a file straight from the camera. With certain conditions I can get a fairly saturated, normal looking image straight from the camera. Most times my Z5 gives me a rather bland image. I process every keeper picture I shoot, and it takes very little time to...

While I appreciate the quality and value of a 50mm lens, I find that with a normal zoom mounted, I rarely take pictures around 50mm. I'm most often at one end of the zoom or the other. Back in my film days, I had a 50mm lens for every camera I owned, except for the Rollei, which had an 80mm...

She's my daughter. I'm Clovishound, my daughter is Clovispup, and my wife would be, well, nevermind. I already spend too much time in the dog house.

I would mention that the C-130s do pretty well with turbine engines and and props, but the point is well taken. I used the Pup's FX 105mm micro for a while, adapted to my Z5. It worked fine, but when it died, I got myself the Z mount 105mm micro, and couldn't be happier with it. I am tempted to...

Full disclosure, I have no connection with MPB, other than being a first time customer. Given the Pup's proclivities in choosing something different to photograph, and with Christmas coming up, I talked with her about what to have under the tree for her this year. She shoots with a D5600and has...

The extra reach of a crop factor is one of the reasons the D500 was so popular for wildlife. My 200-500 on a D500 would be effectively a 300-750 at the same F5.6 max aperture. I have put that 200-500 on my old D3400 a few times to get the extra reach, but I've gotten so used to the Z5, I have a...

They are very good photos. It's impossible to compare them to a DSLR without looking at the full sized images.

Well, the D500 has been considered the go to wildlife camera, mainly due to AF capability and fps. That is, until the higher end Z cameras came out. If you are looking to upgrade for this type of photography, I would look at the Z8 or Z9, if your wallet can stand it. Between the higher...
