Matt Laur Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Note: In the interests of balancing performance and quality, the topic of image file size and dimensions as normally posted to this recurring thread is under discussion elsewhere in the Nikon forum (the topic is obvious when you look) - please check in there and comment if you have thoughts to share! That's the best place to talk about that particular topic. For now, consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. 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: Guidelines for Nikon Forum Wednesday Image Threads. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit. Working on photographs and video tonight? No, no I'm not. Because instead I'm nursing along an older file server that decided both its power supplies would die on me at the same time. I guess that's one way to be redundant! So, creating a Frankenserver out of old carcasses to get the data extracted from the victim one last time. Always have backups! And backups of your backups! So here's some server hardware, roaring loud fans in my laundry room where I can close the door on the racket. Z6 with a 35/1.4, FWIW. Share some Nikon Wednesday Goodness! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Nice pic! The EXIF data is mostly missing, what shutter/f stop/ISO is it? How much cropping? Thanks. Here is a LightRoom screen shot of that image. Typically I use auto ISO to maintain a certain shutter speed for my hummingbird images. I captured that image yesterday, April 5. The light was strong enough that I set the low limit for the shutter speed to 1/2000, and auto ISO for this particular image was 3600. Sometimes I use 1/1250 or 1/1600 sec. Anna's hummingbirds are extremely maneuverable in flight and they can hold still or change directions rapidly. Hence they are not very afraid of human. I could get quite close but my limiting factor is the minimum focusing distance for the 500 PF. The 200-500/5.6 and the 200-400/4 can focus closer; I may experiment with those some time. But for hand holding, the light-weight 500 PF is excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybeach_1961 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 More dog photos using my D500. This venue is a dungeon, which is why I used my Sigma Art 50-100mm f/1.8 wide open at 95mm. Then pushed an extra stop (ISO 12800 equivalent) in Raw development, and heavily cropped: Better light at ISO 720, but even more clutter here. Also, less cropping since I was using my Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3E VR at 260mm: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
