I have recently dug up my old camera (D610) as I wanted to do some performance comparison with my new camera, the Z 6 II. I will have a few comparison posts coming and this will be the second one of the lot (the first one you can see here). Now there is significant ISO […]

I had thought a lot about the new camera I was going to buy, but I made decisions, plans and started executing it. The decision was that the camera would be a mirrorless one. I went down this path because it’s almost inevitable, Nikon is phasing out their DSLRs (such a shame). I decided not […]

Since acquiring my travel tripod, I have noticed the increase in tripod related photographic activity. I believe it is related to how easy to transport the tripod is. Because of its size and weight, it is easy to store in an accessible location, making it easy to just grab and take it. The other reason […]

I just couldn’t help myself, I ended up buying a reverse graduated ND filter (circular). It arrived on Monday (26/04) and I have not yet had the opportunity to use it. But I can’t wait to try it. I bought a Kase filter, which I was under the impression was a German brand – don’t […]

The title is just to show that this post is a continuation of the discussion introduced in my previous post. So I decided to, out of curiosity, check out my lens options going to mirrorless. Just from a pricing perspective: Nikkor F mount 50mm f/1.8 (all photographers should have one of these) – AUD$350; Z […]

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to look at short and long term decisions as they will severely impact our ability to complete the track. We need to focus on the current and the next step we are taking, but we need to make sure we are in good shape to take […]

I have talked a lot about filters and the advantages of using them and have pondered a lot about if I should or shouldn’t buy a square filter set. The conclusion is that, for now, the circular filters are enough for the work that I have been doing. That does not mean that in the […]
