am giving this a crack

Welcome!

Welcome!

yep, good points. I took this in "tourist" mode and, well, it looks like an average holiday snap! I thought the rolling mist with the rising sun would make a good shot but you are right as there is no object, it's just a bunch of city / river scenery. It is actually a stunning setting on the...

I think I have left the fields blank when it comes to exif data. I need to look into this (am using darktable). Yes, good point about the VR / IS. I used a tripod on the pier photo and resting on a platform for the river, so similar to a tripod. They look fine on the tiny screen but do come...

Thanks all - good commentary! Apologies for the double upload (#1 and #4) - lags in performance mean that I think it hasn't uploaded so do it again and then an image shows up twice. Regarding the sharpness, I am still trying to find out why that occurs. Camera body and lens are good quality so...

Magnificent!

fantastic!

thank you!

Good tips - thanks! I have shot a fair bit of sport (amateur) and have, through a trial and error process, gravitated towards all of your tips. The only additional tips that I would add is A) to get in a good position where lighting is favourable but to also move around to mix up the...

am running the 685 as well. If the next 10 YT videos don't enlighten me, I might reach out to see how you are doing it. Frankly, I don't use them often but I know they are part of the "secret" for getting better images.

this is my first submission to Nikonites! Please forgive me if I make an error - am keen to learn and work in with the group :) I dont know if the image has the relevant data built-in so here goes: 3 January 2025, Nikon Z8 Aperture: f/6.3 Shutter Speed: 1/100s (Electronic Shutter)...

Ha! To be fair, I only referenced the 7500 as "old" because I have had it for a few years, in fact bought it when it was a near-new release. I think all the Nikon crop sensor lines are good - have seen some great images from 3XXX and 5XXX series.

Hi all, thanks for letting me join. Am hoping to learn and be able to post an image here and there. Shooting a Z8 and occasionally the old 7500. Frequently confused and frustrated - most often with theGodox flash and trigger that needs an engineering degree and a Harry Potter wand to operate...
