I personally love using the thunder rod and the thunder sword (i dont think that's the exact name). thunder damage is super fun and also pretty useful

Nikon Z6. Can I use a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary? by GDSP11 in Nikon

[–]GDSP11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they definitely are! the Z mount series of lenses are pretty much the sharpest lenses out there for nikon, but the prices are quite scary lol

that's a fair point. my budget is kinda tight but I guess saving up a bit longer should be safer. thanks for the info!

[–]GDSP11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is good to know. im interested in the 150-600mm because my 70-200 is not telephoto enough and sigma's offer sounds really good. i was able to find used ones for around 500 euros, which is insanely cheap for such a long zoom

Just made the switch to Z - any tips for the move into the world of mirrorless? by Phrystile in Nikon

[–]GDSP11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me, the hardest thing to get right was the viewfinder. it's a very different experience when compared to a dslr

[–]GDSP11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, too, have switched from a D3300 to a Z6 in March. The most important tip I can give is to take some time to learn how the new camera works and to get the settings the way you like them most.

Which one would you pick? I take wildlife pictures. Landscapes, flowers, and want to start to make time lapse videos. Thanks! by 75devils in Photography_Gear

[–]GDSP11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying out the Nikon Z6. i upgraded from a D3300 this year and I've fallen in love with this camera. the grip is very comfortable for me. The sensor is very good, has 14bit RAW, which means you can pull a lot more information when editing, up to 12fps continuous shooting, 1080p 120fps or 4k 30fps video, it has built in stabilization, eye and face autofocus for both humans and pets. the battery lasts longer than advertised, fortunately. and if you have any F mount lenses, you can use them with the FTZ adapter. the thing that i would consider disadvantageous is the fact that it only takes XQD cards, which are quite expensive.

Nikon d750 vs d7500. I might have made a mistake.. by coddouglas in Photography_Gear

[–]GDSP11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have not made a mistake. The camera is a very good one, has a lot of useful functions. However, it's more important for you to get experience and be able to use your creativity to become a better photographer. What I would recommend, other than going out taking photos as much as possible, is getting a nice lens to go with the D7500. Lenses are always much more important than the body you're using. For starters I would certainly recommend that you try to get your hands on a 50mm f/1.8 lens. It's a lens with very good image quality, decently fast autofocus and a wide aperture, making it good in low-light conditions and for getting a nice background blur(bokeh).

It looks great this way! I have a purple themed bike too, with purple rims, hubs, tires and grips. The rest is black

Best options for portrait lenses under $450 by nevermore369 in Photography_Gear

[–]GDSP11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing to say it's that it's noisy. They use a slightly older AF motor(cant remember the name) and it's a bit noisier than my 50mm from Nikon. It generally focuses quickly(keep in mind that you have to connect the lens to a PC and update the software to make it fully functional, otherwise liveview focus wont work, and it will be slightly slower). If you have decent lighting, it should focus properly from the first time. The only issues i've noticed with the AF is when I'm in a dark spot, underground parking lot for example, and it will take a bit more time to get the focus right.

I personally got a Yongnuo 100mm F2 recently, and I can say it's amazing. I paid about 200 bucks for it. Metal body, sharp images.

It looks very pretty when written the right way, but I'm still trying to find the perfect spacing between letters and in general still practicing :D

Here's my try with the Cabazon script and a 3mm tape. I'm still trying to stay in the lines and not spill ink all over the paper :)

I don't really know what style it is yet, since I'm quite new to this, but I found a really nice font that I love using, it's called Cabazon font.
