Has anyone heard from our friends in Australia as these fires continue to spread. I was just wondering. I had not seen anything from Scott or Kevin for a while or @Ironwood. It just looks bad on the news these days.

I know that most people know how to do this but I saw Steve Perry had posted a new YouTube video on how it is done and I thought it worth sharing in case there might be some that did not know how to do this. There was one recommendation he made that I was not doing. It was about adding my name...

Just kind of a little different start this year. A PSA for bicyclists... I know there are some out there. The road I live on is just a little to wide or just a bit to narrow and just a bit to nice to deter cyclist... This was a capture yesterday coming out of a blind turn going into a blind...

I know it has been a long time since I have mentioned anything about my wife Pat's issues with memory from that infection last year. That was because there was nothing to tell. We had seen only marginal improvement and no one could give us a diagnosis. There is a reason they call medicine a...

Here is a review from Monochrome Memirs. He is a wedding photographer that uses the Z6 exclusively for weddings. He bought the Z50 for his walk around camera. This is his review. I like his approach. It is not real polished. It is straight forward and honest. https://youtu.be/8IET1CJMZkw

William Hall is a professional wedding photographer. He has been using 4 Z6 bodies exclusively. This video is his experience; good and bad. I like his his approach to videos. He is just straightforward. https://youtu.be/v2Bmd433cM0

I went out to look at the product support page to see about lenses that are compatible with the Z cameras. Initially there were very few, but now they have made a bunch of changes in the firmware and most new lenses are available. The detail section explains compatibility...

First I am not in the market for a tripod right now but I was on YouTube checking out a couple videos and came across this video about super tall carbon fiber tripod with no center post, and it had this crazy title... "One of the Best Tripods You Have Never Heard of". So it was a 10 minute...

I just saw this video from Steve Perry. It is a new Monogimbal. I have used my gimbal on my monopod, but it is pretty heavy. This looks to be pretty nice for $180 dollars. Steve does a good review. https://youtu.be/Fgj8bMviZOw

I am a cotton fan If I am going to be out and about. I am kind of unstable at times and I like having both hands free. I just received an email from Cotton with a new kit. It putts together a sling and their secure system on a belt as well as a way to carry a lens or water bottle. This just...

You know there is one thing that I have noticed over the last little bit that has really amazed me and that is the virtual silence of the focus motors in the S lenses used on my Z6. I have the 50, 24-70 f4, and the 85 S lenses and when I hit the focus button it is silent. There is no whir or...

Ricci, is a Nikon employee that periodically does simply direct comparisons of lenes and cameras. Lately his focus has been the Z Series bodies and Lenses. This latest test was kind of interesting. The intent was to help owners that might have different F Mount lenses to help them decide...

A friend of mine sent me a link to the Journal of Wildlife Photography. I am not really familiar with this group at all. Reading the site background it sounds pretty interesting. but I thought I would post it here just to see if anyone here was familiar with the site and get some opinions...

With my Z6 I often use my phone or tablet as back up since it only has one card slot. This works pretty seamlessly and if I get a shot I want to share on Instagram or Facebook it is pretty easy to do. I know that the program really did not work well in the beginning but recent updates have...

There is a guy on YouTube that has been using the Z6 since last year exclusively in his wedding photography business. His page is called "The Monochrome Memoirs" and the link is below. I would liken him to a Steve Perry with less polish, (he is jut getting started with youtube). He is a...

I had never heard of this hack to change lenses on the Z6 or Z7. The way the camera works now the sensor is exposed. The best way to change the lens is to keep the body facing down and try not to do it in a dust storm. PetaPixel posted this article along with the offending hack...

I saw this video on using the intervalometer of the Z6 being used to capture self-portraits and those family photos where everyone wants you to be in the photo. I have never tried the self-portrait because of the hassle of getting the photo in focus. I have taken those photos where the...

It looks like Nikon is going to announce another lens for the Z series bodies. This is one of the three I have been very interested in. There really isn't much to the link. The formal announcement is predicted to be made next week...

Just got an email today from Adoroma regarding a decent kit for their Flashpoint EVOLV 200 which is just their brand naming the Godox AD 200. It looks to be a decent combo for $269.00 dollars for the rest of the day. It is made. If I were ready for it I would buy it but I just bought two...

I just read a review by Thom Hogan of the Z6. It was very well balanced and very thorough. I have never read any of his reviews before and I have to say it was one of the most detailed I have ever read. If you are thinking about the Z6 or Z7 you probably want to read this review. Forget...
