Marcel's 2018 Nikon and Fuji shots for 2018

[Marcel]

With patience, come results. I've been trying to get decent images of our visiting hummingbirds.

After a lot of waiting, I think I got my best so far.

 

[Marcel]

This morning's pick.

Ze fly

These black wasps are so nasty that they scare our hummingbirds. I even saw one that came out straight on the back of a hummingbird while it was feeding... They don't seem to be scared of humans either.

Morning around the flowers in the garden.

Flowers.

Good Morning!

When it gets too hot, there is one solution: The chair.

Summer will eventually be over.

Went for a 6 Hrs drive to get to a special scrap yard yesterday. I took the D810 with the 16-35, 24-120 and 70-200 F4. The 70-200 never left the bag...

 

[Marcel]

Got a few bird shots yesterday morning (the hummingbird done before but processed just yesterday).

Playing around to freeze small flowers from the backyard, I thought it would look nice on a plain background.

Same with black background.

This morning's shots.

 

[Marcel]

Heavily cropped from D7200, 200-500 + 1.4 TC, iso 2000.

 

[Marcel]

Summer's ending soon.

Long lens view of Sherbrooke, my home town.

High iso and heavy crop make for a loss of sharpness, but I feel I'm still getting acceptable images. These Hummingbirds are so small and fast that I consider myself lucky to even get them in the frame when they are not on the feeder.

 

[Marcel]

I wanted to compare my results of the D810 vs D7200 so I did a few with similar (2000) iso. Previous post was 7200. I think the D810 focusses faster than the D7200 but it's kind of hard to really judge.
