Bit of macro practice with the Z7 + MC105 S lens.

Nikkor MC 105 f/2.8 S lens + Z7. Tried out focus shift shooting for the first time....

Couple of very impromptu shots on the Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8.

Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8s.

One from a couple of months ago that has never seen the light of day until now. Z7 + 70 - 200 f/2.8 S lens

Still trying out the Z MC 105 on my Z7....

First image taken with my new Z MC105 f/2.8 macro lens on my not so new Z7.

Z7 + 70-200 f2.8 S.

Performers at the Birmingham International Dance Festival.

Finally managed to get out and shoot something with my new 70-200mm f/2.8 Z lens. Z7 + 70-200 f/2.8 S. 1/125s f/8.0 ISO64

Nikon Z7 with AS-S Micro Nikkor 105 f/2.8 G ED on FTZ adapter. ISO 400, 1/40s. f/14.

Decided to go way back into the archives for this weeks post; particularly as I've been "re-working" some old shots etc. These two go back to October 2016. Both taken with my D800 & 24-70 f/2.8 lens. Both at 1/160s @ ISO 100 and lit with some off camera flash etc.. The 1st is at f/3.5 and the second at f/4.

Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8 S lens. ISO 1000 1/80s f/4.5 at 70mm. Natural light and processed with a film look style in C1.

Just messing around with the ProStandard profiles in Capture One 21. I don't think the colours are as true to life as they claim, but they are still quite pleasing nonetheless. Nikon Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8. All shot at 1/125s, f/2.8 and ISO 320 (3rd Image at 640)

Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8. ISO 320 1/80s f/4.5. Guess I'll be opening a few of these over the next couple of days.

Not sure what I'll be raising a glass to, but I don't think it will be to 2020 being a great year...

Z7 and 24-70 f/2.8S lens.

When your model not only brings a real sword along, but also knows how to use it... you don't have much problem with people interrupting the shoot!

(Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8 S lens. Lit with an Elinchrom ELB 400 in HS mode, hence shutter speed of 1/8000 and aperture of f/2,8 @ ISO 100 etc.)

Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8 S lens. The more I use this camera & lens, the more I like it!

Still getting used to my Z7 & 24-70 f/2.8. Fortunately I have a couple of patient subjects who put up with it... (its now also the desktop wallpaper on my Mac).

Iona. All shot with D800 & 24-70f/2.8. Mixture of ambient light & and ELB 400 etc.

This is Ollie. D800 & 85 f/1.4.

D800, 24-70 f/2.8. 1/250s, f/5.6, ISO 100. Lit with an Elinchrom ELB 400 on camera left.

Hi Tim, unlike Matt Laur, I didn't mean to start the thread with any theme. With Nikon Wednesday, two weekly image threads on the Nature Forum, Facebook, etc., it is hard for me to keep track of which images I have posted where. Therefore usually I try to use images I have captured within the last week so that at least they couldn't have been posted to previous Nikon Wednesdays. And I was at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum on this past Sunday to photograph hummingbirds.

 

I was in Antarctica a month ago and of course took a lot of pictures. There is always some risk that I have posted that image earlier.

 

Speaking of that, Bill Boyd's nice whistling duck image was posted to Nature Unlimited last week, but of course there is no rule against using the same image more than once on photo.net. I just try to avoid that myself.

Hi Shun. Sorry, I just happened to make the remark in an "off the cuff/flippant" sort of way. Even when we have a theme, we don't always stick to it. In fact I'm one of the most guilty when it comes to that etc. It's more important that we share our work; again something I'm not all that great at...

The thread seemed to start out with a bit of a landscape theme, so... Not exactly my forte, but "what the heck" etc

D800 with 24-70 f/2.8 @ 1/2000, f/2.8 ISO 100

Recent business trip back to Scotland so a return to The Helix to photograph The Kelpies was in order. D800, 24-70 F2.8 at 70mm, 1/400, f/8.0 @ ISO 400. B&W conversion in Filmpack 5.
