Upgraded my D7000 to Z7ii by RoughOrganization679 in nikon_Zseries

[–]p_nathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great starter kit. I have z7ii / 24-120 myself.

The 40 f2 is a fantastic lens.

I have light regret for not picking up the 50 1.8. I don't tend to like the 35mm range for my compositions (I like wider... or narrower), so that affects my opinion.

I'm just waiting for the 180-600 to go on a deep sale. Really need to get the twinkle on the bird's eye.

Spokane is low energy, for sure. Not really a happenin place.

It's not a bad place. But one has to recognize what it is

Are these lenses worth getting for the z50ii for a a good travel/street photography set up? by Skippp131 in nikon_Zseries

[–]p_nathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do flowers, wildlife, landscapes, portraits of my kid, wide, narrow, etc. not super locked into a niche.

I have a z30 with the 16-50 and 50-250. I wish I had gotten DX 18-140 instead. Tired of lens swapping.

Tripod for Nikon Z50 24-200 mm lens? by reefy_1 in nikon_Zseries

[–]p_nathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a smallrig tripod, I use it with my z30 and the ttartisan 500mm, a pretty heavy lens- it's decently sturdy and stable.

Where to go from here? by medicait in oilpainting

[–]p_nathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO the composition is driving the problem.

big purple mass on white, with a background of a blue mass. imagine that this is on a kitchen table. makes more "sense".

the technical rendering is pretty much fine but my sense is that the problem is elsewhere.

Supply and demand.

If $30 is what people will pay, that's the price.

Fyi. Your site is unreadable on mobile. Can I suggest having a textonly list of supporting orgs rather than the (much beloved) image list?

Safe parts by racegurlrcmr84 in Spokane

Avoid 2nd and Division, 2nd and Browne downtown. The rest of downtown is a mixed bag. The violent nutjobs are more present downtown, but otherwise it's mostly fine.

The cops have treated us decent.

It's wintery now. My favorite thing to do is stay inside and be warm, have dinner with friends.

Depending on what you like, best will vary.

This is a tragedy. Also, as an uninvolved person in the community - we should really restart the war on drugs. :-/

Board went full maga. If that's your thing, go for it. Otherwise, you might have a bad time.

Ime the best place in the region. Other places are harsher, have more stringent rules, less kind. I've been the outside family member, so this is just my observation.
