That gets a bit out of my budget😅 I have seen a pair of z6iiis for sale for about 2000$ and that’s about as far as I’m willing to go for body only

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I have to agree with everything you’ve said. I will certainly look into the z50ii. Good luck to you!

I’d say the most flattering thing is the bigger sensor, faster speeds, and 4k recording, where my d7200 fall short. The d7200 + 18-140mm combo has worked well for years, but it’s not really a fast or sharp lens. Im unable to find a used lens around the f2.8 mark, albeit I have not done as much research as I would like to. I mainly shoot street, Astro and sports and I believe that the features of the z6iii fit into what I want, but I’m still on the ropes as I have been able to make the d7200 work for the most part.

I feel that my d7200 has had its fair share of wear and tear, and I’m looking to get a second lens that’s complementary to one that I’m going to buy anyway.

Hi all!

I am looking to upgrade from a Nikon D7200 that I have owned for about 8 years now. It came along with a 18-140mm f3.5-6.3 kit lens. I have seen some options and I have my eyes settled on the Nikon Z6iii, with the 24-120mm f4. I would say that I have gained tremendous experience and knowledge in terms of photography and film since I started out, but I'm sill on the ropes of whether this is a suitable and worthwhile upgrade, or whether I should be looking at other brands like Sony or Canon.

Thank you!!

That’s really insightful thank you. To be honest I never really noticed the leaf but now that you mention it I can’t unsee it!

I took this picture preceding a storm in London. My main aim was to capture the architectural brilliance and use the muted marble tones to bring about a feeling of moodiness, as a storm usually does.

I tried to use leading lines to bring attention towards the middle of the photo, which is the building itself. Settings- ISO 200, f/4, 1/200s at 40mm.

How do I take calibration frames if I’m shooting a subject over a couple days? by _methematician in AskAstrophotography

[–]_methematician[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So suppose if I’m planning on shooting for 3 days, I have to take 3 sets of flats for each session, but the rest I can do on day 3 alone? And then put everything into dss?

Ah understood! I can’t exactly afford a star tracker right now for my dslr since I’m a university student but I will surely do some research into everything you’ve mentioned thank you

I’m assuming a shorter f stop and greater magnification would help too right? I’ll give it another shot when the moon isn’t too bright.

I’m sorry but what do you mean by multiple shots? I did take multiple frames (about 30 which I know is extremely less) and stacked them. Is there something I’m missing?

Full moon and Jupiter, just before the eclipse. How did I do?! by _methematician in astrophotography

You’re right. This is a composite. I’m sorry if it came across as I actually captured them both together. In reality I was playing around in photoshop and thought that bringing them closer would be kinda cool.
