I liked my wind turbines from the beginning of the month. But it took me 3 work trips to finally walk away with a streetcar photo I was looking for. So if not my favorite, it was more satisfying.

I only tested Imaging Cloud when I got my Zf. But connecting to a Wi-Fi router in general has proven to be a road full of potholes. I find best to use the 5G option and there is some option for authentication security. By default it is Auto, but that was a fail for me until I changed to a manual...

OK, not a train. An overhead-electric very light rail streetcar. In Kenosha, WI and it's pretty sneaky too.

I think you will want to use every bit of the field of view from the 14mm. I did do some early milky way work with a D750 + Sigma 20mm f/1.4 but I always preferred the extra width of the 15mm f/2.8 I later bought.

Stick to Nikon's FTZ-II adapter and you should have the least trouble. There are aftermarket adapters out there but none have a great reputation right now. Most are not compatible with autofocus.

And he did it with a bad heart. With the urgency of someone who felt like he was on borrowed time.

I stumbled into this video on Wisconsin Public Television about 2012, and never was able to find it again. Until today that is, looks like it was uploaded 6 months ago. I have to admit that I had never heard of Art Sinsabaugh before that, and discovering his large-format photos of places I am...

Welcome! I spent 2 years using a D750 and Z5 at the same time as I grew comfortable with the mirrorless. I eventually fully transitioned to the Z5, then recently traded off both bodies to use a Zf full-time now. I regret none of it.

KEH also does repairs on photo gear according to the website.

Yeah, for action sports I would get out of Aperture Priority and use Shutter Priority with Auto ISO. ISO 1800 is still very acceptable for a D750 (I used to use one) so maybe you should consider not going to the noise reduction so heavily, if at all. That would mean turning off High ISO NR in...

Your method of sharing is making it very difficult to help here. All the EXIF data is stripped off, could be Google doing that. So now I cannot see your choices in shooting mode, AF mode, and if you are really using 1/4000 f/8 on all. No ISO data. What I do see in at least 2 photos is the ball...

I have had a clear plastic disposable cover in my kit for years but have not deployed it once. I tend to put the camera away in a case when drops start to fall.

Or they change the number sequences for different national markets to weed out gray-market purchases during warranty claims.

Use a new lens instead of a vintage? :D

Minimum equipment for moon is tripod, telephoto lens of 300mm for DX body, but more is better. Much better to photograph the moon at the quarter phase or as a crescent, since the light won't blow out the detail as much, and you get shadow along the terminator for additional detail. A single...

Sometimes people try holding a phone to a telescope eyepiece, but it doesn't work well due to contrast issues and motion blur. This is a rapidly changing field of photography. Posts from 3 years ago can be completely out of date now. The most basic wide-field night landscape works the same but...

Ribbon cables are notoriously fragile. I do not believe it is a short, but a crack that opens up as you close the screen and the ribbon cable is being folded over the most. An open-circuit rather than a shorted-circuit. I have often wondered just how tough that metal foil glued to Mylar is on my...

May 8, I lunched at Goose Pond on the way to a customer no-show repair job. A little slow out there. And at end of the work day, I stalked the wild Sebastian, who is extremely camera shy.

A true macro lens can focus down to 1:1 magnification without aid of an extension tube. So when you do your slide scans with the adapter, the image would just be able to cover the sensor at the minimum focus distance. Adding extension tubes would allow magnifying beyond 1:1 by some formula that...
