I was actually somewhat cool this morning. No sweating rivers while trying to take pictures. Unfortunately, there weren't as many bugs out. Although they did become more active as the morning wore on. I discovered a beautiful narrow trail winding between swamps. I really enjoyed the scenery, but...

If this is anything like haggis, I don't want to know.

Thanks for the heads up. Firmware installed, although at the rate I'm going right now, I don't run much risk of leaving my Z5 off for an extended period.

Welcome. I spent a few years in Omaha back in the late 70s. I don't think you will regret the Z5 purchase. I've had one for about a year and a half, and have really enjoyed using it. The Z lenses are fabulous.

When you figure out how to hypnotize them let me know, lol! Well, first you need a very small pocket watch on a chain.

Félicitations Guénolé. Magnifique image

Have you tried hypnosis? Seriously, you just have to find a bug that doesn't like moving around that much. Some species are more mobile than others, bees and wasps fit into that category. I have yet to have a bee stay still enough to even think about focus stacking. Others, seem to stay put...

I have the Z5 with the 24-70 F4. I am quite happy with it. I'm sure that it would do the job just fine for what you intend to use it for, but I think BF Hammer makes some good points. If you plan on using it professionally, I wouldn't skimp on the equipment, if you can afford it.

Didn't the Beach Boys write a song about that?

Looking good!

I've had a Z5 for a year and a half now. I love almost everything about the mirrorless system. I also have the 24-70 F4 which is a great lens. Hope you enjoy your time on the forum here, and I look forward to seeing your images.

I decided to play around with it a little. Came up with this. I think I may like it better than the original, but not sure. It does have a certain simplicity to it.

I've been doing most of mine handheld. I'm shooting with a flash, so I can get small apertures and control the quality of the light. I move the camera forward and take a number of shots while slowly advancing the camera toward the subject. It's the same concept as a focusing rail, only without...

I downloaded NX and looked at it. It doesn't appear that NX Studio supports masking. I don't think you can accomplish this without masking.

It's silly, but anytime I was on the flightline and walked in line with spinning props, I always walked a little faster until I was out of range.

Went out again this morning. Ended up sleeping late, and then got rained out early. Still, I got a few. I stacked this one. Handheld, so just took a bunch of images while moving the camera forward and back. This was a HUGE caterpillar. This guy was doing his part to rid the wildflower bed...
