Another trip to Kenosha, the historic lighthouse is still there to photograph. This time with the light-keeper's house.

Zac, Do you not know how to transfer your photos from your camera's card? We need the photos in order to help you, not a screen-capture of you viewing the photos from your phone. What the goal here is to see if your camera knows what is going wrong. You already are reaching out because you...

When turned on, the shutter release will only operate when focus is detected at the selected point.

Just checked on my PC, full frame sensor will capture at 50mm in landscape mode, but a crop-sensor camera would need to rotate to portrait mode. And the star cluster likely would be obscured by the moon if Stellarium is accurate. I have it set to mimic visual conditions.

Can you try to upload a sample good and bad images into a reply to this thread? You don't mention your f-stop and that is the important 3rd leg of the exposure triangle. I and others can read that from the exif data of samples. Upload directly here as nearly every photo host site likes to...

It looks like it would be in a 50mm to 100mm lens required to capture in 1 frame, by estimate looking at the Stellarium phone app. I would have to check on the actual PC software to verify. The moon would look rather small in the image.

It feels like some release mode was active. Release on focus can behave that way. If this was early afternoon you were shooting towards the sun in the problem directions.

It's a variable in the equation. You have the best available battery.

Are you running an original Nikon EN-EL15 or is it an aftermarket battery?

@Vixen I continue to use RawTherapee and GIMP as my editing tools. GIMP just this year was finally updated to 3.xx version that has been promised for years. Think of RawTherapee as the replacement for Lightroom and GIMP as replacement for Photoshop. Not all the tools are available, but all the...

Once again, for reasons, I had to drive off from a photo without trying to take the picture. We all have done this many times I would assume. I usually feel down for a while because of it. Today it was a rustic log cabin near a pond that caught my eye as I drove down a back-road on my work...

Should be no problem at all. Z-mount lenses will normally have some advantage being newer and smarter. I think having a wide aperture lens helps most so the body can see the scene better.

On Lake Michigan shore, a very tiny kite-surfer in infrared. I more expected to be seeing rainstorms today, so I had the infrared D600 and not a long enough lens to use. I am learning that my 24-120mm f/4 is not very appropriate for infrared work, it meters too dark. It will eventually be...

I can understand this happening if you were in video mode when switching to live view and did not notice that. Shutter speed cannot be slower than video frame rate.

Lunch today along the Baraboo River. The sun emerged from the clouds just long enough.

University of Wisconsin Arboretum. The individual jars in the structure have pictures of wildlife, suggesting the name of the artwork. D600 infrared conversion with Zeiss 15mm Distagon lens.

I saw the announcement. I don't think there is any issue with skipping versions. There were only 2 listed fixes on the release notes related to specific settings not being retained after a power cycle.

Yes the 17-55mm DX lens can be used in a crop mode with the D850. But it will just be using the middle 24MP of that sensor. So not much reason to upgrade from a D500 is there unless you also invest in full-frame lenses?

Another non-Nikon solution (maybe). https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nctdw2w1bh8?hl=en-us&gl=US It also appears that if you might install something like RawTherapee on you computer for editing, the open-source RawLib extension is installed with that. So that may also make things work.
