[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 778811, member: 50197"] As posted in the HDR subsection, the Pup and I went to Boneyard Beach this morning. I was able to give the Z5 a workout. Had one issue with trying to get into self timer mode to fire the auto bracketing without a hand on the camera. My fault. I had figured out how to do it the day before, but in the semi dark, with the short window of good light breathing down my neck, I choked and couldn't find the right button. I just carefully used the shutter button on a fairly stable tripod. Might invest in a wired remote. They aren't too expensive for this camera. Yes, Snapbridge will fire the camera, but it wouldn't fire more than one shot at a time. Not what I needed to shoot 5 auto bracket shots at a time. Other than hitting the screen with my nose a couple times and changing the autofocus point, it performed extremely well. Again, this is a solid feeling camera compared to the D3400. I know that doesn't translate to better images on it's own, but it makes the experience more enjoyable for me. I've started processing the images, and I must say I am quite happy with the clarity of them. The images I got from this location with the D camera, were not as crisp as I would like. Also, the shadows were somewhat muddy. I'm processing most of today's pics using HDR, but the singles I have worked are very similar, and in no way inferior to the HDRs. All in all, I am quite pleased at this point. Now I need to decide what to do about a tele. I can't justify the cost of the new 100-400 by Nikon. I will likely fall back on an FTZ adapter and the 70-300 F4.5-5.6 ED. The Pup has one she uses on her D5600, and it seems to be a solid lens, at a reasonable price, so I'm thinking about getting one for myself. I'm open to suggestions on what might work well for me. Looking for getting out to at least 300 mm. Here is one of the HDRs I took this morning. It's 5 shots at 1 stop increments.
