Now we know we have at least two more z owners here. :)

Congratulations to Walt!!!

Though it was cast, cloudy, and raining, I took no more wait and went out for some nightscape (low-light) tests again. Due to the bad weather, no best night scene could be found only settled with no stars. IMO, the lens handled the low-light, low-clarity scene pretty well. Was impressed with its...

Is there some kind of optical or visionary illusion in this image?

Congratulations to Marcel!!!

Can't stand seeing Chris and Clovishound out taking wonderful shots with gimbal gear... So grab the day that sky opened a little after the past 2, 3 weeks and went out to try a little test and practice around the yard. The scene and subject (no BIF) weren't so much, but the feeling of using and...

How do I send PM to members? Or has it changed?

I have acquired a gimbal head and heavy-duty tripod set ready for use with my z6ii and sigma 150-600mm for BIF (and moon) shot. Now just wait until the (rare) long raining season is over and the wildlife refuge becomes busy again this year. Reckon before that, better rank up all techniques with...

Will I win the challenge if keep it and use it to enter? I doubt it... but you make me regret a bit. Oh well, old must go else new won't come. But let's see how you tackle this week's challenge, Peter.

Oh, great! Got my new ML camera, but just sold my old D3500...
