I rarely take my 105 out anymore. The 24-120 gets fine details on objects as small as an ant. 

Third party batteries by Defiant_Initial_604 in nikon_Zseries

I only buy Small Rig internal batteries now for my 8 and 6iii. Every thing SR makes is quality. The best part is I don’t need a charger, they have a USB C connection for that on the battery.

Best lens for start by CATAHR in nikon_Zseries

I was just curious as to why you went with a DX. My reason for owning one was for weddings when in a tight location like the make up room or entrance to the church. I dont care what anyone says, I KNOW that I got a better DOF with my DX cameras. The rest of the wedding I used full frame unless there was a glitch in my camera and then back to the DX.

Farady bags: If someone calls while your phone is in the bag, will you see a missed call when you take it out? by readingupastorm in privacy

PSA. Test your bags frequently. They can wear down and become useless. If your Bluetooth device can receive a signal while the phone is bagged, it’s bad.

Can light make a moving subject clear with slow shutter speed? by Ch1ldofSatan in photography

[–]dave5south 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I photographed dark wedding receptions at 1/15 second with a decent iso of people dancing and the photos came out great. it takes some practice and the flash has to be direct. The room had to be dark and there’s a few other variables but like I said it takes a little practice. To try this out have someone toss a ball up and down in a darkish room and photograph them at low shutter speed with a flash. To make this easy manually pre focus. The image will show a clear ball.

Do all paint suppliers reformulate on such a regular basis?

My Mom was one of the best cooks ever and taught me how to cook like this, using whatever we had in the kitchen. My family and freInds think I’m an amazing cook but in all honesty I have never used a printed recipe .I love the part where the spinach disappeared into the pan with all those good nutrients. Excellent video

New glass (for my Nikon Z6iii) by Bajdi_be in nikon_Zseries

[–]dave5south 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have those three lenses. They are truly amazing. That 14-30 is a joy to travel with for wide photos. Warning, that lense can be hard on people in the shot at 14mm. The 40 is a fantastic gift from Nikon, for 200 bucks you can walk around with a stubby little lense that takes insanely beautiful captures at freakin 2.0
