I visited the middle of the North-West hemisphere this past Sunday. Latitude 45N x Longitude 90W.

It helps to shoot this when the sun is low in the sky. The light is softer, less intense. But the short version is that the meter in the camera is averaging the too-bright Sun and too-dark shadow and unable to resolve it intelligently. You can also use the exposure compensation to lighten or...

Who knows, this could be your path to a monetized account and nearly free money. About the analytics: you might be underestimating Google's ability and willingness to spy on it's users. If the user is viewing in Chrome and have a Gmail account, they are not anonymous at all. And the location...

Have you thought to turn off the VR and see what happens? In my mirrorless Z5 with the VR on normally, I sometimes see the image "jump" as the VR tries to steady the image until it is overwhelmed.

Your problems with this lens are consistent with the professional reviews. https://www.imaging-resource.com/lenses/nikon/z-14-30mm-f4-s-nikkor/review/ Except for Ken Rockwell, but he is often more forgiving of faults in equipment. In his review he started out (blaming) listing any mistakes a...

It's the Mona-Lion!

Same source now has the firmware dropping first week of July.

Before I lose the link, here is a user manual online: https://www.nikonclassics-michalke.de/Prospekte/F4-F4S_k.pdf I might shine a light in the battery cavity of the F4 body and look for any dirt, oxidation, or obstruction on a electrical contact. You can use white vinegar on a Q-tip to clean...

Set Dad loose in the wild and take photos of him to cover all the holidays today. :D

Some sources of the news said it would be available this coming week. https://nikonrumors.com/2025/06/12/nikon-z8-firmware-update-version-3-0-is-rumored-to-be-officially-released-next-week.aspx/

Please share which lens you are using. Not every vintage lens can have the aperture controlled by the camera body.

Should be about the same, but a mirrorless also shows that inside the viewfinder so the sunlight won't wash it out.

DSLR image review shows what you just took. Mirrorless displays what you are about to take as you compose. You can set the view in the finder to reflect the exposure settings, and see the changes applied as you change them with the command dials.

You got better feather detail than I did last year with my blackbirds. But I looked, was using matrix metering and no compensation. I also was not planning to photograph blackbirds at a place named Goose Pond. ;)

I am not sure it is available yet. Remember tariff uncertainty also.

I can sympathize. I can sometimes start to get vertigo looking through a viewfinder from a very elevated place. It has happened to me photographing from a fire tower in a park. I also had to give up on playing any 1st-person-shooter type video games 30 years ago when the CPUs finally became...

I am having a nostalgia trip just reading the hardware. I am sure I had that Tamron lens and a D7000, but not at the same time. The Tamron was such a frustrating slow AF to use on my D80's that I junked it after getting a similar Nikon screw-drive 70-300. But I do have a relevant story for a...

Ray, I am just going to chime in with my own solution with free software. NX Studio is a perfectly good solution, but there are more powerful alternatives. I had been importing photos with NX Studio but I have been using DigiKam lately. The organization options are more powerful. Free software...
