Nikon Showcase nikon Z6 image thread

Getting the hang of this camera more and more. Have not been able to put it down since I got it. All other gear is being neglected. LoL

Was able to grab some video of anyone is interested. Shot at 1080p30 and 1080p120(for slow mo shots). Only used the 24-70/4S.

No grading, sharpening. Basically SOOC except for the transitions and the slow mo, done in premiere elements 2019.

I just the some YouTube friendly track on so it is not too boring. LoL.

Enjoy!
 
Z6 with the Nikon 300mm f/4E PF lens.

I'm still not used to the tracking, and the D500 has basically ruined all other cameras in regards to tracking performance for me.

I just need now time to go and get acquainted with it in the Z6.

Got the 50mm 1.8G because I didn't want to fork out the cash for the z-mount 50. Finally got a chance to get out and really work it.

The G 50 is great. I was hoping for better wide open performance, but you can only really tell it's weakness there if you are pixel peeping.

My second attempt at a "winter walk" this season - enjoyable, but also a bit of a scare because I slipped and fell with the camera in hand (and turned on); however, I didn't hit the ground at all hard (I was wet and somewhat dirty afterwards, but nothing hurt), and apart from some cleaning it needed, the camera doesn't seem to have suffered at all. Let's hope that this impression turns out to be entirely true. The camera acquitted itself very well otherwise - it was wet (snow melting, water dripping from branches everywhere) and pretty murky, and apart from some AF problems with very small targets in front of busy backgrounds, everything worked as expected. I really like the results, too - the 24-70mm f/4 is at least as good as the Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 optically, which I think is quite a feat.

P.S. @gryphon1911 If you want me to keep out of this thread, just tell me; I think it's time for a Z 6 image thread (or a 24-70mm f/4 S one ...) anyway.

Nope, the more the merrier. I think I'll update the title to be more accommodating of the Z6 image thread. I'm fine with posting any pictures here.
 
portrait shoot with the Z 6 and 24-70/4S

So I went to your site, and looked at your Santa photos. Were there family members next to you, using iPhones while you were taking pictures?
Yes, there were.

That event is a special case where I partner with my local parks and rec department. They pay me a base fee and I provide the images for download for no fee to the families.

I have done lots of events for a school for free. I don't think parents realize (or maybe they just don't care) that they end up splitting the subjects' focus, with 1/2 looking at your camera, and 1/2 looking at them (or some other split). Lovely pictures, but messed up by the parent over the shoulder.

Great portrait work, btw. Enjoyed the site.

Yeah...luckily the parks and rec director understands what goes on. We've worked together since 2006.

Appreciate that you took the time to check over the site.

I gave up trying to stop others form shooting my setups years ago. Instead I just stop and tell people they are free to shoot as long as they're behind me so everyone's looking in the same direction, rarely have a problem when I handled like that.
