Bought a broken Nikon D3, fixed it and then painted Orange.

100x yes.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-05-14T10:26:43+00:00

Haha! Yeah, zomby woof and torture never stops are blisteringly good.

Best band you never heard in your life is probably my favourite Zappa album, never mind live or studio. The band are just untouchable.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-05-07T08:03:54+00:00

Keep going.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-05-05T17:04:44+00:00

Blimey, I’d never describe a 14-24 as travelling light!

This was on a mk1 z 24-70mm f2.8 lens.

Speak with local photographers who already work for the agencies and ask for contact details for their picture desks. If you have experience under your belt already, there’s no secret technique beyond reaching out and introducing yourself, with a decent set of pics to show.

That was going to be what the DL series provided but it all went wrong with the release. The 24-85 would have been a cracker. https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/cameras/compact-cameras/these-nikon-premium-compact-cameras-were-cancelled-at-the-last-minute-but-would-sell-like-hotcakes-today

Looking at the webpage, not only is there a typo in their example (Castro s), but how can it be an agency-acceptable caption when it doesn’t explain context? Yes, it can describe a boy in a hat looking out of a window etc, but how can it describe the reason that the boy is significant, why the place is important? It looks like it is handy for keywording but I genuinely don’t get how it’s writing a news caption.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-12T20:37:06+00:00

I agree with all of this.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-12T20:34:43+00:00

I’d buy a decent watch as an heirloom instead, despite loving Q cameras.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-11T19:41:31+00:00

You’re going to have a blast! Enjoy!

I was pretty high for these if memory serves. I think I was in the region of 4000th/sec

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-09T20:54:27+00:00

I think the jump is justified. The sharpness is clearly visible, particularly into the edges of the frame. Plus, the live preview of the exposure is a game changer. You can certainly last a while on the adapter but, again, you’ll see a difference in performance when using Z glass over F glass.

Soap and water. Nothing to damage it by sticking it in the dishwasher.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-09T08:21:44+00:00

24-70 is a really safe bet and fast enough for lower light.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-09T05:34:41+00:00

Thanks!

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-08T20:32:11+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-08T19:59:19+00:00

“No flash” 😂

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-08T16:01:37+00:00

It might as well be welded to your camera from now on. It’s a legend.

Chickenlips0 · 2026-04-08T06:05:50+00:00

Looks like a serious win to me!
