How does this diamond ring fit? #blackstar And a string of Bailey's Beads to go with that.

Solar protuberances on the front-end of totality. Infrared partial. This was a D600 infrared conversion with Nikkor 500mm f/8 reflex lens. I had to hand-hold because I could not tilt-up on tripod and see where I aimed. However I was so dazzled by totality that I forgot to pick up this camera...

I tried to take cellphone photos through my eclipse glasses. Very blurred. I think the camera wanted to focus on the filter material. But I was just giving a live update to everyone I work with, not trying to make art there. My setup...

Before we get the forum littered with everyone's eclipse photos, how about we get a thread for them all? I have 2 to start with. However I only have begun going through my photos. I made mistakes, but I also did some stuff right. I was in Benton, Illinois for this one. Northeast of Carbondale...

SB-800 is still a good speed light today. It was the best Nikon offered 15+ years ago. I have an SB-600 and SB-400 and both work great with my Z5. I usually just bounce off a ceiling in TTL mode. As an aside, since the Z series mostly don't come with pop-up flash like DSLR bodies have, an...

Stay tuned as I have not gotten home yet from my eclipse road trip yet. The Z5 was clicking and weather was as fair as can be hoped for.

Did you have to set your camera to Bulb mode? 😃

That is a filter. A piece of glass that screws on the front end of a lens. The lens is a cylindrical part that screws into the D60 camera body. Please tell me you were not removing the lens and trying to use the filter directly on the camera.

That filter will produce a very black photo unless you aim at the sun, then you get whitish circle. Do not use Auto mode on D60. Set to Manual. ISO set to 200, f/8, Shutter about 1/500s. No autofocus, it will have trouble with it that dark. You will have to try to do manual with that small...

I am thinking shutter speed of 1000 or even up 2000 and auto ISO. It is a matter of distance to subject and relative speed concerning the motion blur, so no exact recipe is the answer. But if you only have 1 shot to do it right, go faster. If there are other races to practice on before your...

If you are attempting to track your daughter, Dynamic mode and manually put the AF point on her face. Use high-speed burst mode also. The goal is a couple of photos with good focus in the burst group. My Z5 manual pretty much says Dynamic is for isolating an athlete in a group.

This question is so vague I cannot even begin to think of a question back to clarify the problem. :(

You believe you can get it delivered in time? I have been using the ICE solar filters from Amazon for my Sun photos the past 2 years. But it's too late for estimated delivery. ICE CO 77mm ND100000 MC Optical Glass Filter Neutral Density 16.5 Stop ND 100000 https://a.co/d/j2Nv3hH

The stars in photo are in good focus. That is a fuzzy green coma around the comet you see. I can faintly see a hint of the tail there too. The cloudy haze may be causing that. :)

Here are some examples I have done in my home-area.

You certainly have a fair kit to try wide-field subjects like the Milky Way. Here is what else is needed. A good tripod with a with a solid head that will hold rock-steady with the weight of your kit. With wider angle lenses it is not essential to get a star-tracker mount yet, but it helps as...

Why not a 14-500mm f/2.8? I would never change lenses!

Yeah, west-northwest horizon is all tall trees at my darkish sky spot. Just happy with 3 different nights of photography I had on NEOWISE in 2020.

This is a Nikon-specific forum. Nikon is not in the surveillance and security market directly. Your answer lies at one of the dozens of other sites I assume you also posted this question.
