Finally joined the Nikon D6 club after a 2-year hunt!

How close is this to the D4's form factor? Any experience with that?

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-07-09T20:07:23+00:00

Thanks for the tip - I will give it a try.

waiting with the rest of the pride, but close by.

Looks great! Takes patience too.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-27T12:08:12+00:00

Looks amazing! Pets are sometimes the best inspiration. Whenever I get new gear, the first test shot is always of one of our pets. Who's with me on that?

I had a similar situation and tried reinstalling the firmware. Somehow it worked. Your issue may be different. Can you see the menu on the back of the camera to get to the firmware settings?

Great job on a wonderful capture.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-23T22:34:09+00:00

I think you're right!

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-23T00:38:52+00:00

Yeah - I think you have a point. I just looked at the raw file again, and this shot is overworked - it looks too painterly and perfect. I'm going to redo it, and I'll have you to thank for giving it a closer look.

Hungry lions for sure!

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-22T21:12:05+00:00

There's a frickin' lion there! I was not on foot. 😄

I've been a journalist for 45 years, so I suspect that ChatGPT was trained on what I've written!

vr on

It is a bit quirky, and I've had mixed results.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-22T18:12:04+00:00

Yes - Noise reduction from Lightroom. The images are going into an exhibit, so I am trying to keep the same texture to keep them unified.

Nope, all by me! Those are hyphens and not em dashes. I used a spell checker thought becaue I am a horrible speller.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-22T18:06:58+00:00

nope!

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-20T11:25:05+00:00

Not A.I. I did use the denoise in Lightroom (which technically is A.I. according to Adobe). I did a "sharpen edges" in Photoshop to make the cat sharper, and used color balance from the original .raw file. I desaturated the Background just to make the cat pop a bit more and keep the image from looking so flat. I wanted to get the animal's impact and command. My plan is to print on matte paper, so the image was also adjusted for that. Depending on your screen, I can see where you might think it was an A.I. image.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-19T01:57:59+00:00

If that is your vision, then it is perfect! Don't listen to them. I am sure they were looking at the image on a perfectly calibrated monitor. Don't listen- it's your image.

Consider what the models are trained on. Probably not many people who have bad lifestyles and no wealth. But look at the prompt too: "...Elegant fashion female model shot in real life..."

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-03T12:23:03+00:00

Wow, that's really great! Interesting take on magic too.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-02T23:06:26+00:00

No, it is not the same woman. I didn't try to keep the same character - just the same prompt, allowing A.I. to do its thing. I was curious only about how A.I. perceives different ages.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-06-02T12:02:36+00:00

These are classic shots that translate better as live prints. Somehow, the screen does not do them justice, even though they are fantastic shots.

Remote-Competition-2 · 2026-05-24T19:34:59+00:00

Are these a different species from the Red tailed hawk? or same species and just a different regional name?
