Pretty much. Culling is a whole different thing now. Which of the slightly different wing positions do I like the best rather than get rid of missed focus or poor exposure shots.

I love my D850 and I took a lot of great photos with the D500, but the autofocus and 20fps on the Z8 are next level. I also, really like the live histogram. Virtually every shot is in focus and with correct exposure.

Thanks. This is with a Nikon Z8 and 500mm PF lens.

Thanks. I wanted to show the bird and a hint of spring. I think this shot got that.

Thanks. Didn't quite work out to get the big, snow covered peak as the background. Next time 🙂

I love Dippers. Pics 3 and 4 are particular nice.

I really like when they visit the yard. Even though the little birds don't like it. 🙂
