Just read this article on Photography Life. I have always found them to be pretty reasonable, but when I read this title I have to admit that I was surprised. Regrettably a lot of the influencers on YouTube and the web in general have sold the Z6 and Z7 short. It is clear, once you take some...

I belong to a few pages on Facebook that focus on the Z cameras. Yesterday Al Powers, a pro photographer, posted some very cool shots from a job he had. He was one of the Photographers at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. The only cameras he used were Z Series. He explained that he used the...

I realized today that I have had my Z6 for about two months, and I have to say I have been more than pleased with this camera. It has been nothing sort of amazing to me. I came into the year planning to upgrade my full frame camera, and I was torn between the 750 and the 850. The 750 made...

One of the things I have really gotten hooked on is the EVF on the Z6, I was really unsure how I was going to feel about it, but it took about two or three photos to realize how amazing it is. It is bright and clear and it contains a wealth of information in addition to the standard DSLR info...

Pat has decided to go back to work at least on 1/2 days for a while. It is a bit strange. She has been home since mid December and pretty much dependent for help except this past 3 weeks or so. I kind of liked having her home. Now I have to get back into my old routine. Today was my first...

I was just fiddling around tonight. It has been gray and overcast all day and I wanted to just take a picture of something so I went for Jersey Girl. She is a reluctant model. She hates the camera, but I finally got her to sit still and took a couple of shots. The room is kind of dark. One...

This was an interesting short little article. Especially the goal for AF tracking. https://nikonrumors.com/2019/03/30/imaging-resource-guess-what-z-mount-really-does-help-lens-design-and-af.aspx/

Well, after a lot of consideration, reading and video watching I pulled the trigger today on a Z 6 with the 24-70 f4 and FTZ adapter. Given what I enjoy shooting the most it made sense to me to take the plunge. I love the D700 and I am not sure I will be able to let it go, but I wanted to...

First opportunity to lift the camera to my eye this year... Pat is home... Her memory is still on the fritz, but it is getting better and that wound is healing so quickly that it is blowing the doctors minds, (but Pat and I know it is answered prayer). Just a foggy morning in February watching...

I just wanted to get a post out there about my wife Pat. She is in the hospital and how she got there is kind of strange. Last Wednesday Pat told me she had a kind of a large pimple on her abdomen but it did not have a head. Thursday it was a bit bigger but still no head, but it was getting...

Saw this article on Photography Life and thought it was a quick read worth sharing. It is a pretty quick read that covered some key questions I have had in the past. https://photographylife.com/7-things-all-photographers-need-to-know-about-copyright

Hey, Don Kuykendall seems like Steve Perry likes your idea of using a gimbal head on a monopod. He made a nice video of it. Wanted to share the video. https://youtu.be/6wbQgQKqglc

Just saw this on Nikon Rumors. I did not know this. THought it was pretty interesting and worth sharing. https://nikonrumors.com/2018/03/29/how-to-identify-a-refurbished-nikon-camera-or-a-lens.aspx/

I have seen a couple things with people talking about a new selection tool coming out in Release 19.1 that just hit recently. I watched this video by Matt Kloskowski that was pretty interesting. Thought it was worth sharing. Selecting things in PS has been one of my biggest struggles and this...

Wow. Makes a good case for meeting at the police station. Nobody is bullet proof. https://fstoppers.com/news/two-men-dead-after-photographer-attempts-retrieve-his-stolen-camera-gear-210915

I decided I am going to venture out into the world of the Project 365 again. Made it all the way in 2016 and took a lot more photos. Going after it again in 2018 and push a bit more.

Saw this article this morning. Thought I would share it. https://fstoppers.com/legal/man-steals-image-gets-sued-calls-photographer-malicious-200673

Saw this article on FStoppers. It has a map with a slider that allows you to estimate peak colors for your area. Thought it was kind of cool and worth sharing. Just scroll down and click on view the map. It opens with a slider on the bottom...

Last Thursday was one of my many scheduled Doctor days. Pat took the car and was going to run to town and get us some breakfast. Doctor days are just a hassle and I do not enjoy them and this week I was going to part ways with one. Well, she was gone about 10 minutes and I hear her coming...
