Landscape Photography and Testing the Nikon 70-200 FL f/2.8e Lens on the Nikon Z8
Переглядів 303Місяць тому
I recently purchased the Nikon 70-200 FL ED VR f/2.8e f-mount lens. In this video I took it and the Nikon Z8 out for some Fall Colors Landscape Photography in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennesee. You will see me use the Nikon 70-200 Lens on the Nikon Z8 to produce some stunning photographs with this combination from Nikon.

Nikon 70-200 f/2.8e FL ED VR - I bought it and I unbox it here in this video
Переглядів 728Місяць тому
I purchased the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8e FL ED VR lens on sale at my favorite camera store. Nikon was having a sale for $450 off retail. I bought the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8e FL ED VR to use on my Nikon D500 and Nikon D7100 DSLR Bodies. This is the reason I purchased this lens and I can also use it on my Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z50 via the FTZii Adapter. This was the most versatile way I could go and cover al...

Переглядів 4152 місяці тому
I recently purchased the Nikon Z50 used from MPB. I wanted this camera because of it's compact size. Having several other Nikon Camera's like the Nikon Z8, Nikon D500, Nikon D7100 this was a perfect addition to my kit based on it's size and Nikon APSc Sensor. When I purchased the Nikon Z50 used from MPB I did not purchase any lenses for it. I thought I would try it out first with my existing Ni...

    We used to snowmobile and found that the camper heater still used a ton of power because the fan needed to run to push the heat thru the camper vents. Hubbie installed a catalytic heater on the wall just opposite of the bathroom door (because we hung wet ski clothes in there and kept the door open, so the toilet didn't freeze) and pretty much all of our snowmobile buddies followed suit after they found out how nice and warm our camper stayed without needing power to run the heat. Of course, we had more than one carbon monoxide detector in the camper. Another thing we found out that needed to be done if there was any chance that it would freeze inside the camper was to leave a gallon jug of RV antifreeze in the bathroom and to drip at least 1/4 cup in the toilet every time it was flushed (and after the camper got parked at home) to keep the seal between the toilet and the tank from freezing also to help keep the stuff in the black tank from freezing and rattling around in there like a rock as you drive down the road. A good lock to go on your Trailers hitch with a combo lock, not a keyed lock, so you could give the tow company the combo should you ever need to have your truck towed and have to leave the trailer alongside the road. We just put our lock on as a matter of fact whenever we unhooked the trailer.

    Great job Ron! I like your videos because you are real and transparent. I think you have something here my man. I'm even considering starting my own UA-cam channel. I've been thinking about it for some time and finally might make the leap. I've been doing some 2025 planning for shoots and Tennessee is definitely on my schedule several times. Who knows, maybe we can meet up and hit a few places. Always great to personally meet fellow photogs. Keep up the great work!

    Remember that the 10TB drive was formatted by the Syn box....not by a PC running Windows. Wait for the rebuild of the RAID pair to be completed by the Syn box and then reformat the 10TB drive with which ever machine will work with it. If a PC then format us NTFS file format. If Mac, format using APFS file format.

    I have a D500 from the blind video that comes out Wednesday. I made it in October but I thought it was funny that these two videos are coming out just a few few days apart lol I liked the nuthatch picture and the bird on the pocket three was great.

    I also subscribe to the notion a 'hide' can be out in the open. Standing mostly still and not fidgeting allows some very good closeup work on birds.

    Do you use the A6700 for livestreams too? If so, what USB-C cable would you recommend? I really appreciate this video about the battery. Most other UA-camrs didn’t even mention the fact that the camera comes without a battery.

    • @rdphoto2

    @CP23798 Місяць тому

    I own a D7500. I would call it a good all-rounder. It has electronic front curtain shutter, mirror up, and exposure delay, all good for use on a tripod for landscape photography. It doesn't have a depth of field preview lever, but one can take a shot, then zoom in 100 percent in playback to check sharpness. I use the Nikon 10-20mm dx lens as well as the sharp 40mm f2.8 dx micro. In my opinion, the camera is refined and well built.

    • @rdphoto2
      @rdphoto2 25 днів тому

      Recently, Nikon had a Refurbish Sale going on where you could have purchased a D7500 for about $550. That's a bargain. I have several DX F-Mount Lenses still. I have the 10-20dx, 18-55 Kit, 55-200 Kit, 12-24 f/4, and the 70-200 f/2.8e FL ED VR Lens. Still alot of life in this older gear.
