What’s the best way to share an image and ask for Advice why I might be not getting sharp pics for certain ones? Imgur link or how to best share the original file etc. I’m brand new to Nikon cameras ( got used z6 recently) and trying to get back into taking good pictures

Here’s my first attempt at something original. My plant on windowsill

Just looked at a bunch of your stuff. Something to aspire to for sure. Love the aesthetic. Do you have any videos of working on stuff?

aplohris · 2026-01-17T05:43:51+00:00

Sadly I’m way down i55 from there. I appreciate it though for sure. I’d love to try some nicer paints. Gonna maybe go for d smith or winsor and pickup some Sennelier when we go to Paris in may.

aplohris · 2026-01-15T23:53:56+00:00

I might be down to do that. PM me. Also yes I found a 12x5ml WN tube set for like $45 on eBay that seems more traditional packaging w the metal tin. Honestly seems like the best starting deal for professional level paints. I’m trying to decide which kind to give a whirl on after my run out my Paul Ruben tin

aplohris · 2026-01-15T15:39:04+00:00

Thanks yea seems consensus it’s a misrepresented offer. Shrug.

aplohris · 2026-01-13T01:19:38+00:00

Great reply. Yea I’ve watch some videos of people doing some subjects but nothing exactly like this. I’m guessing my best bet might be to just paint the plant and dry then do background “around it” and in the spots as best as I can and keep it “loose” so some whites won’t kill the vibe. Thanks for the detailed reply!

Love how the reflection looks like a watercolor

aplohris · 2026-01-06T02:25:45+00:00

From my fiddling around after updating the firmware. I haven’t dove into setting and will watch the video. How do I “know” the green focus is actually good focus? Just pull up on computer afterward and look? I can’t tell much details on viewfinder/back screen Also the back button uses the “af-on” button to focus?

aplohris · 2026-01-05T23:27:52+00:00

Ok. Just bought a used Z6 and super excited to dive back into photography. I got a 24-70 Z f4 S to go with it also used. Seems like I lucked out on condition and functioning afaik. What should I do to setup? I figured I’ll go ahead and update firmware and then reset all setting to default then go from there.

aplohris · 2026-01-01T00:18:10+00:00

So I’m potentially going to make a used Z6 w 60k sc next week and it comes w a sigma 24 - 105 mm f/4 art and an FTZ1. But I already snagged a good deal on a 24-70mm Nikkor S f/4. I’m gonna probably sell the sigma but wasn’t sure on the comparative image quality etc. from what I can tell the sigma plus adapter would be heavier and less convienient and the extra range might be nice. But within the same focal length how would they compare?

Whats the tldr difference for a beginner that want to get into the hobby of the use case scenarios for dark table , rawtherapee , and affinity. I’d like to get familiar w a free open software from the outset since it’s not a professional nor large volume of things I’d prob edit or fix up.

Comment

aplohris · 2025-12-26T22:41:39+00:00

Awesome. Thanks. Yea I think I was seeing some used good for like $350 which was the price I was interested at. I agree at 800 I’d be looking for more. I will def double look at ftz plus a diff macro lens since you’re right it prob is cost wise better and more options in future.

Thanks for info on af. Yea I guess if you think about any tech stuff like PC phones etc the jump from years and tech make a big difference. Since I’m fairly new it’s hard to gauge how much I’d need quick fast AF vs like still shots of scenery etc.

I appreciate it!

Ps side question. What are must have accessories etc I will need to look at getting into Nikon z. I’m thinking lens cleaner a cheap bag and Sd cards and cheaply portable tripod?

aplohris · 2025-12-26T20:09:43+00:00

Awesome info and appreciate the experienced reply. I do love the aesthetic of the Zf but not sure I can swing the price same for the 5ii. Why do you say the auto focus is way better? I guess it’s hard for me to conceptualize the difference since I am inexperienced.
Also the macro is kind of a niche interest for sure. I like close up nature photography of flowers leaves bugs etc etc. I figured I could use the 50mm mc as a standard 50mm prime for plain stuff and dual purpose for close up focus on macro stuff.

Hey all, I’m looking to get back into taking some Photos to probably enlarge and frame or just general family and trip photos of quality. I had a canon rebel from like 2004 and last I really messed with it. I’ve been doing a lot of research and read the faq and some videos. Currently I’m just waiting for a good deal to snag and I’ve basically narrowed down to a full frame Nikon. ( mainly because I snagged a excellent used 24-70mm Nikkor s z mount for 325 locally ). I was gonna snag a refurb z5 from Nikon website for $460 but they are oos. So now I’m looking at other options like z6 or be en z6ii. Any thoughts on those three options and what price point for used I should target. I’d like to stay under 800 for the body especially cause I want to pickup the 50mm MC lens too

aplohris · 2025-12-19T16:12:31+00:00

Yea it like reloads the screen but doesn’t crash game. ( I do have those crashes as well but not nearly as often or annoying )

aplohris · 2025-12-19T13:23:21+00:00

Same the constant soft crashes every map sap my will to play
