As I like to say, photographers with their bags are worse than the ladies with theirs! :LOL: I have had both kinds, still have them, and the only use case I see for the shoulder bag is when I really have very little gear to bring. For example, with my current setup, I bring the Z7 II and the...

The Baccarat crystal glassworks were founded in 1764 in the eponymous town in the province of Lorraine (northeastern France). Their traditional products (crystal tableware, chandeliers, etc.) are renowned worldwide, but they have also branched off into jewelry and this “Psydelic” pendant is one...

Large historied capital from around 1100, Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand church, Poitiers, France (2022). Nikon Z7 II, Micro-Nikkor 85mm, ƒ/2.8 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ II adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light.

When I use flash, I don’t like to work with the light on the camera. Whenever possible, I set up my flash or flashes on stands that I position wherever needed. I set and trigger them via a radio gizmo attached to the camera’s hotshoe. With the big studio flashes (“monolights”, as they’re...

I agree with what has been said. Power and telephone lines are ugly and must be “disappeared” whenever possible. It is especially true when they are as in your face as they in the photos you showed us in this thread. I always remove them (as well as satellite dishes) from my Mediæval...

The dunes of Keremma (2015) This may look like the Bahamas or the Maldives, but in fact it is northern Brittany, on a tract of land known as Keremma (“The house of Emma” in Breton) and bought by the Rousseau family in the mid–1800s. The land remains in the same (and very much enlarged!) family...

If the Flavigny aniseed sweets have been quite well known in France for generations (King Louis XIV himself was a regular customer back in the 1600s), the small Burgundy village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, where they are made, is much less known. Even less known are the remains of the Benedictine...

Still life, 2019. Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z 50mm, ƒ/1.8 S lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Artificial lighting, single exposure.

Somewhere in Auvergne, one of those decommissioned and forgotten railways I like so much... and there you can truly see the light at the end of the tunnel ! (2016) Nikon D810, Nikkor 85mm, ƒ/1.4 G lens, handheld.

Well... welcome then! :giggle:

Nice portraits. A bit too centered for my taste, but the expressions are good and the bokeh is nice. Nice one in Oxford, too. You should go shoot some at Maryon Park... ;)

The question was not directed to you, Peter... :LOL:

Can I ask you under which EXIF you found the number of shutter actuations (not the number of photos taken)? The number of photos taken is under the EXIF ImageNumber, which also appears in my own software, which is KUSO EXIF Viewer. In my Z7 II, that count is at 8296, which correspond to the...

A bench to admire Venice... Nikon D810, Nikkor 24mm, ƒ/1.4 G. Handheld.

Another foliage macro shot taken in the garden and lit solely by flash (April 2020). This photo is, I think, interesting because it was taken with an older macro lens, the 60mm Micro-Nikkor non-VR which I bought secondhand for a very small sum, and originally just to go on the Nikon ES-2 slide...

A November 2019 crazy still life composition in which I basically put together anything that was lying about at the time, around the “hero” that was my old friend the F4. Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z 85mm, ƒ/1.8 S lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Artificial lighting, single exposure.

In the large church of Notre-Dame-la-Grande in the city of Poitiers (central western France), 2022. Nikon Z7 II, Micro-Nikkor 85mm, ƒ/2.8 PC-E tilt-shift, manual focus, FTZ II adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light.

Congrats !

This does indeed qualify as “damaged”. :LOL:
