Is This The Worst Street Photography Fail Ever? #nikonz6
Street photography is the genre of photography I struggle the most with. Like anything, I assume it takes practice. So this is me practicing, using the Nikon Z6 and Nikkor 24-85 f/3.5-4.5

  • @lesleyh2007
    @lesleyh2007 26 днів тому

    I’m a little late on this conversation. For me personally I think most of us would love the latest and greatest camera that technology can create. The real question is do we actually need it. Big difference between need and want. I use a D500 and in reality I probably don’t use anywhere near all the capabilities that the D500 can do. On a Z9 that would even be more so. The D500 isn’t holding me back in any way right now for what I shoot and for my level of experience. I imagine that bird eye focus would be wonderful but that isn’t what I mostly struggle with. I usually get my focus pretty good on the D500. I still enjoy using the D500 and my Tamron 150-600 G2 plus in low light situation I use my Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 E FL ED VR Lens with a 1.7 teleconverter. It gives me 500 mm of reach at a constant f/4.8 plus f/2.8 without the converter if my target is close. Lots of good lenses available on the used market for those of us using DSLR’s these days. Not saying that there won’t come a time when I might use mirrorless but I don’t loose sleep on it and likely not anytime soon and this is mid 2024. D500 is still a great camera and produces wonderful photos.

    • @forced_perspective
      @forced_perspective 22 дні тому

      I am still in the same boat, barely scratch the features of the D500. The one camera I was going to take a hard consideration to just got announced which is the Z6 III, that eye AF would be a game changer along with superior video focus ad I do more videos. If the price point is right, I may take the plunge and hopefully get another camera I can use for the next 10years.

      @@forced_perspective In Western Washington it is mostly Garter Snakes. You could probably find Rubber Boas but I have never seen one. In Eastern Washington they have Gopher snakes, night snakes, racers, and Western Rattle Snakes. The Western Rattle snake is very shy. Unless you sit on a stack of rocks in the heat of the day you should be fine. They like to hang out in the rocks to avoid the heat. Eastern Washington has much more temperature changes between seasons that we do on this side of the Cascades. In the winter Eastern Washington gets much colder than in Western Washington. Essentially the temperature you endured while here is typical for Eastern Washington in the winter. In the summer they are much hotter. The reason the snakes like it there is it is dry. The Cascades create two very different environments. Moderate and wet on the west side, the ocean and Puget sound help stabilize our temperature while the mountains make sure the clouds dump the water on this side.

    You got some real nice pictures of the Harriers and owls. The grey ghost is a challenge. From what I have observed, the male owls and harriers are normally further out in the field away from people while the females are smarter and stay closer to the people so the eagles will leave them alone. I really like the GBH on the post. Bummer about formatting the card. Glad you got some of the images back. I am so glad you had a good time while up here even though it was the coldest we have been in a very long time. If you have seen my IG lately you will have seen I have been posting a bunch of juvenile Bald Eagle pictures. What I haven't said win those posts is that is my mother in-laws farm. It is common to see 3 eagles there. I know I am l lucky to live in a place with so many bald eagles.

    After shooting the Nikon D810 for almost a decade, I went mirrorless 5 months ago with the Z8. I got sick of waiting for a Z7 iii. I'm super happy with the Z8 and the few S-line lenses that I started with. I prefer the new Z-mount glass over adapting my old lenses, though it's hard on the wallet to replace many of my older Nikon D lenses, which won't autofocus on the Z cameras. G-mount glass works fine on the adapter, but the new lenses, to me, are just way better. I got the Nikkor 100-400 and 1.4 TC for landscapes cuz that's my main genre, but the Z8 did something unexpected for me-I started shooting birds for the first time ever! That has been a lot of fun.

    • @forced_perspective
      @forced_perspective Місяць тому

      That's so cool. Yeah I'm with you on the cost of a new body and the z mount lenses especially the s line ones. I can only wish. I did see that canon honestly has the most affordable bang for your buck but then I basically gotta switch out all my glass. Thinking of taking a loss and liquidating it all. But we will see

    • @marcusgrandon3640
      @marcusgrandon3640 Місяць тому

      @@forced_perspective As for switching out your glass, you'll actually end up doing that anyway. The jump to mirrorless provides you with an opportunity to switch brands if you want. When I looked as what was on offer in November, I stuck with Nikon because as a landscape photographer, I wanted the 45 megapixels. I love the quality and ability to crop at will in post. I trust Nikon RAW files for the colors that I like to shoot.

      @marcusgrandon3640 that's actually a good point. Thanks for sharing that. Now I know why video was waiting on the Z6III, because of the full frame file sizes being smaller and the low light capability. Lots to consider 🤔
