    Maybe - controlled test as clovishound suggested using the procedure he stated will tell a lot. Your Z8 test will tell some things, having ibis and advanced subject tracking I suspect you will see results from those things. As well as a much larger megapixal sensor will change a lot. I...

    help with focus

    In looking at image 3146 and addressing focus the players and action are super sharp to me. In this image everything "worked" perfect. Just my opinion, but the vertical lines in the background and reflections are causing the effect you have noted. I think getting the background more clear is...

    The Z8 will certainly perform better, but you should be able to get better results with your D750 I went back to be sure but I'm sure using sport VR when shooting on a monopod is a Nikon recommendation. It will not harm anything to try. Tripod shooting is when it should be off.

    Yes, in my research the white bars visible on the wing (near the end of its body) would not be there on a Whippoorwill also we have seen Nighthawks there before. North central Ohio is not a place you normally see Whippoorwills. The over enthusiastic crowds at Magee Marsh are very interesting...

    I'm pretty sure this is a common nighthawk, the "crowd" was thinking it was a Whippoorwill

    We made our visit to Magee Marsh for the Biggest week in Birding, just three days this year. We had a great time and met some interesting birders. The little guys were extra challenging this year it seemed for photos, here are some shots from this year. Cape May Warblers were everywhere

    Stretching a little for me in editing

    I like the last edit best myself. I should/could have been more clear that the naturalness of the branch looks just fine to me. When I see images where birds are tucked in, its a more natural composition, but this is my personal taste. I do like the reed removal a lot though. I was trying to...
