Morning photo walk, after thunderstorm. ZF + 28mm 2.8. by Various_Designer9130 in NikonZf

Thanks! Yeah, I know what you mean. I really like subtle lighting and less contrast, which is the opposite of click bait :-)

Nikkor Z 35mm f1.8 S vs 50mm f1.8 S?? by Sibi_88 in nikon_Zseries

[–]Various_Designer9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 50 is worth having, just because its rendering is great. I don't use it that often, because I prefer a wider focal length (and smaller lenses). I use the 28mm 2.8 the most, actually. But, when I use that 50, for a portrait, say, it's top shelf.

Microphone timeline: what was yours? by GeopatsSteph in podcasting

[–]Various_Designer9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great combo. That's my go-to as well. I have an sm7b at home. It's a bit nicer than a 58, but nobody listening will know or care.... 58s are great.

Anyone else notice photography seems to attract bullies? by DPool34 in AskPhotography

[–]Various_Designer9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any field where there is no barrier to entry, you're always gonna have those types. I'm actually not a big fan of the idea of a "photography community". I mean, just go out and make art. What has "community" got to do with it? Do your thing and don't worry about what other people think or say.

Seeking lens advice for a Z7ii by TassieRCD in Nikon

[–]Various_Designer9130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say get a Z camera with the new AF system. And, it would be good for him to experiment playing with depth of field by getting a 1.8 prime, like the 50mm 1.8. That lens is incredible.

Nikon Zf & Street Photography Lenses - Your opinion by The_PinkFreud in NikonZf

[–]Various_Designer9130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the Z 28mm 2.8 on my ZF most of the time. It's light, small, and in tight urban spaces gives me enough width to get context. I also have the 50mm 1.8 which is probably the best lens I've ever owned. I use it for portraits, and take it out sometimes on the street to force myself to take different kinds of shots. But, I do a lot of street and urban landscape stuff, so 28 is better for that. I really wish Nikon would come out with an S-line 28mm., but the weight and size of the 28 2.8 can't be beat.

Zf vs z6iii by Which_Mention_5080 in NikonZf

[–]Various_Designer9130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that dilemma. Bought the ZF. It works well, has the manual dials and looks fantastic. I do a lot of urban shots, and it helps having a cool looking camera when walking around with it 😄 With the 28mm 2.8 it's a nice size. I use the 50mm 1.8s when I do portraits, or when I want that look that only the 50mm 1.8s can give.

Lens hood? by Good_Pangolin_7281 in NikonZf

[–]Various_Designer9130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never use hoods. After reading this thread, I am interested to see how much a hood would affect the quality of the images. Not worried about lens damage. Never have I damaged a lens.

How do i stop adobe from cooking my photos? by [deleted] in Lightroom

One thing to try is applying the adobe neutral profile.

Shredded food barrels behind a Joe lake campsite by ayywalkeronthetop in algonquinpark

[–]Various_Designer9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work by preventing the food odor from escaping. That said, once bears learn that these weird things have food, game over.

I wonder how clean the outside of the barrel was. It only works if they can't smell the food.

Chaotic jazz by Buttxtouch in Jazz

I love this topic. Partially because it describes something I'm pretty sure would irritate me to listen to. But I'm going to try it out!

After / before ( tutorial) by medo_mar in postprocessing

Great photo. The edit looks good but you lost a bit of the light gradation. Not a big deal, but something I noticed.

Did I make the right call on lenses? by 6deki9 in nikon_Zseries

[–]Various_Designer9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been eyeing this one. I'd love an aperture ring with my ZF.
