Matt Laur Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! The non-photographic life ruled again for the last week, which I've spent rigging up a rack of new servers and networking hardware for a relocation project. Well, some of those servers will host image files, so it's SORT of photography related! But after a week of servers and routers and switches and power supplies, it's all a blur, sort of like this image. Brighten my week! Share some interesting work on this Nikon Wednesday! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Nikon Z6 with 70-200mm/f2.8 AF-S VR II, F mount + FTZ The silent mode in mirrorless is great for these occasions, but I miss the sound feedback when the camera captures an image.

Andrew Garrard Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The silent mode in mirrorless is great for these occasions, but I miss the sound feedback when the camera captures an image. Hmm. I'll add "haptic feedback" to my hardware feature list. (I guess the problem with a smooth shutter release is that it's harder to feel the clunk when the button passes the trigger point.)

ShunCheung Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Shun, what ISO? Sorry, I got mixed up earlier. I was shooting both still and video in that occasion. Ideally I should use mirrorless for both, but since I wanted silent shutter for stills and I had only one mirrorless body, 4K video was done with a D850 and the 70-200mm/f4. I had the 70-200mm/f2.8 AF-S VR II on the Z6 via the FTZ. It turns out that 200mm wasn't quite long enough so that I had to crop. Below is the entire frame and then the pixel-level crop. The lens was set to 200mm, wide open @ f2.8, 1/250 sec and ISO 2200 to stop any right arm/hand motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Schaefer Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) D810 with 16-35/4 VR at 29mm, f/8, 1/320s, ISO 64 Nikon Z7 with 24-70/4S at 24mm, f/8, 1/250s, ISO 90 Natively, the 24-70/4S has a large amount of barrel distortion that gets automatically corrected in certain post-processing programs - but not, as I found out, in photomatix when I initially processed the image above as an HDR. I ended up starting the processing in DxO PhotoLab 2 and finished in PS using ACR as a filter.

(I guess the problem with a smooth shutter release is that it's harder to feel the clunk when the button passes the trigger point.) Since it was a violin recital, I switched on the silent mode on the Z6, but the EVF still "blinks" for each capture so that there is feedback, but after some 40+ years using SLRs, you kind of expect the mirror vibration and sound. Otherwise, if I don't switch on the silent mode on the Z6, there is still sound feedback for each capture, just not as loud and not the kind of vibration from an SLR. And I really like high ISO from the Z6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, if I don't switch on the silent mode on the Z6, there is still sound feedback for each capture, just not as loud and not the kind of vibration from an SLR. Yes; I've had the same "did I actually capture anything?" situation when doing the silent shutter thing with the D850 - modern Nikon shutter releases are smoother than I'd think given that I'm used to something mechanical happening, and I guess what I would have attributed to a notch in the shutter release movement (where there clearly is resistance - I don't actually know how it's implemented, e.g. whether it's like collapsing-spring keyboard keys) has actually been partly down to the camera mechanics. A buzz like a cell phone would be unacceptable, but the level of vibration when you press a keyboard key or activate the fingerprint sensor would be nearly silent (as an option) and still tell you something had happened. Of course, vibration is generally a bad thing to introduce to a camera, so it would have to be managed carefully. Whether extra hardware would be needed or whether the IBIS could be configured to "thud" enough to feel, I don't know. And I really like high ISO from the Z6. Looks decent. I've been way less scared of high ISO on the D850 than I used to be, even though it's only a stop or so better than the D810. I used to get nervous at ISO3200 on my D700, and by ISO6400 on the D800/D810 (since there wasn't much difference between them, and arguably the D810 was worse at higher ISO, it's been a while since I've seen an upgrade). I'm amazed by what ISO12800 gets me on the D850, although obviously I'd prefer to stay lower; now I know what D3s/D4/Df users have been getting! I hit ISO12800 infrequently enough that I now get surprised when the image falls apart - and sometimes even good denoising does a worse job than just letting the image stay grainy. I still know my place compared with a D4s or D5, if anyone would like to donate. :-) I've yet to see how well the Z6 holds up in sensor tests - I assume it's at least equivalent to the D850 and ahead of the D750 at higher ISOs, if they've got the same dual-gain amplifier, and I think I saw at least one comparison suggest it was getting into D4s territory, if not D5. There are still times I like the pixel density, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonychristians Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I agree with Matt, non-photographic life, and snowy weather has kept me somewhat busy. But speaking of snowy weather, did go snowshoeing a couple of weeks ago. It's so amazing how blue and clear the sky is when you get above the pollution. D3400, 1/400 at f11.0, ISO 200; Nikkor 18-55 mm at 24mm. While on the trail there was a lady with her sled and dogs that went flying by. Didn't really expect to see that in Utah. 1/500 at f11 and ISO 100. Nikkor 18-55 at 45mm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
