I assume you shot this with z8 (Efix doesn't show). It's amazingly sharp in line with the small plant on the bird's right side. Very nice.

I see all the images you posted were shot by TTL, if I am not wrong that Exif shows: " Flash Fired Yes (Auto, return light detected) I think there isn't any exposure issue. I assume you shot all by Manual focus? As you stated, TTL has a big advantage in that you won't waste time for test...

Definitely, You can do all these -- When you receive (or even before) your new toy, just call Apple Tech support to guide you through the whole process including setting up the first time. You deserve this for buying a new Apple product. GL

Thank you for sharing. I think you have got some good results from using TTL Flash. It would be nice if there were some comparisons between TTL and Manual.

The chipset of my Mac Mini, M2 Pro, is the GPU. (I think it works both CPU and GPU functions) Before 2009, I used 2, 3 PC Windows machines and remembered it was always a pain to OS upgrading and virus attacks... So I plunged and switched to a Mac Mini early-09 model. Since then, I have...

Thank you all!

I use Mac mini M2 Pro with 32GB and 512GB SSD 2023 (double external monitors). Everything is smooth and fast (no issue with opening/running multiple photo editing programs at once). I believe for us 32GB is a must for photo editing. I also use external high-speed SSDs for photo...

Welcome! You are a new addition to our Z owners group. Look forward to seeing your work soon.

Correction: Doug Mills took the bullet shot at 1/8000" shutter speed...

It looks like the 1/18000" shutter speed still made a "long exposure" of the flying bullet. I wonder if it needs 1/100000" to freeze the bullet... I think the bullet photo will be the best "Action photo" of the year or ever...

#3 (the bullet) amazes me for using 1/18000 shutter speed with no sign of needing it before the shot (or the photographer was expecting the action?). * But I can't really see the bullet in that photo in the video. Can anyone point to the one that shows the bullet?

These are great, I especially like the last one (a highlight of the head). My suggestion on focus shifting: set a bigger aperture and run thinner overlap (much more images)—just my 2c.

However, the PDF file is still v4.6 :sick:

Thanks, Needa.

Your cat is looking at me now... :devilish:

I was just trying to figure out (and learn) how a small aperture would affect DOF in the case of Macro or close-up images. No criticizing or negative opinion on the picture you posted. AW, some parts of the image not in focus don't always make it bad. If I unconsciously offended you, I apologize.

That's true, but it would be a bit far away from the tiny insect where you may not even see/notice it. Surely luck is king.

Always wonder how one would compare Macro/close-up images shot by Macro vs telephoto lens?

You have the first image shot at f/19 and still can not cover the DOF to the wings and legs (and the nearby follower). Maybe focus stacking is the only way to do it... I often use AF-C to burst moving objects for continuously changing focus... this way I get various images of moving objects...
