Now that I have my Z8, I'm looking towards my next upgrade. I've been very happy with my 200-500 F5.6 paired up with an FTZ. I keep thinking that a more up to date, native mount lens, would serve me better, especially with AF operation. I've been looking and it seems to come down to either the Z...

Most of the members here are from the USA, and likely have never been to this park, and won't know things specific to it. Having said that, 600mm is generally a good focal length for most bird photography. An 800mm is helpful when either you cannot get close enough to the birds, or they are...

The only time it's made a palpable difference for me was when I looked up the time info on some sunrise beach photos. It had been a while since I'd been to this beach, and you needed to plan for sunrise at a specific segment of outgoing tide height, so I was trying to correlate a previous trip...

YOU'RE OUT!

The Pup and I went back over to Magnolia today. Things are slowing down, but still a few things to photograph.

I doubt she will use many of the features the Expeed 7 gives, but so far, she believes this was a decent upgrade from her D5600. I was willing to get her whatever she wanted up to a Z8, but she wanted small, light and easier to use. On a positive note, she has gotten fairly comfortable with...

This is a quick report on my daughter's camera. I got it for her earlier this year, but she hasn't really used it that much due to the weather. We sat down this morning and looked at a bunch of shots she has taken since the weather has cooled down. I must admit that I am impressed with the...

Here's one of my daughter's images. I really liked this one. She is very creative. BTW, that's a little umbrella that fits onto the hot shoe to protect the camera from rain.

When I bought Topaz a couple years ago, you got "free" updates for a year. After that it was $99 per year for Photo AI. I haven't updated after the first year. I have issues with tiling on many of my photos. There seemed to be no fix available at the time. I would gladly pay an upgrade fee, if I...

Some great images. I think some images from our group would stand up well against these.

My grandmother grew up there. I used to go with her on summer visits when I was a kid. I remember staying at the old family farm she grew up in. The first few times I was there it didn't have indoor plumbing, . The kitchen had a hand pump and a wood burning stove. I loved it.

Welcome. I live down the road a bit in the Charleston area. My wife's family came from a little town just outside of Chattanooga, Ooltewah. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

The general consensus on the Z lenses is that they are optically superior to the F mount lenses. Yes, they use more plastic than the old school lenses. This makes them lighter and potentially less robust than their all metal counterparts. The newer designs and larger Z mount allow the engineers...

There are some menu options that can help with the battery drain. I got a little annoyed with the display going dormant after a short period of time and changed it to a couple minutes. Battery life went down the drain. I quickly changed it back. Counterintuitively, the EVF consumes more power...

It's a new place for me. There is is an old bridge near the Charleston harbor that has been decommissioned. They turned it into sort of park and fishing pier. With the inter-coastal in front, the harbor on one side and marsh on both sides there are tons of birds around throughout the year...

Went on an outing to a new location for us. It's on the marsh next to the harbor and intercoastal. Got there as the sun was coming up and stayed for a while after. Nothing to alert the press on, but we had a good time.
