All I can say is WOW! That must have been quite an experience. Your website and story about the shoot are enthralling. Thanks for stopping by and sharing this with us.

What is the post limit again? I don't remember anymore.

Today was "Nippi's" day! Went to the San Diego Safari Park and spent the day. Spent the whole day there...my body was dead by the end. I didn't need a cart though, so that is definitely saying something.

Nippi is quite a capable lens! I freaking love using it! Sharpest seems to be about f/4-f/8. She also seems to like distances from about 10 feet to about 70 feet. Before/After that, she starts to get a little soft. Still very usable and only pixel peepers will really take note. These photos

Nice set, Kevin. It really is great to have you posting pictures again.

I agree, square seems to work for the strelitzia. I found it a challenge to shoot. It's very directional and because of it, there just seems to be one angle to shoot from. Maybe time to return it to our garden and try harder, but yeah, square is good.

Yours is probably the third Z5 in here. It is indeed a nice camera and I couldn't ask for more. It makes manual focus a breeze. The thing I find most remarkable about these Z cameras(I also have z50) is the colour and white balance accuracy. I just shoot and ... done, a double edged sword as that gets boring pretty quick for me. Thankfully, there are still DSLRs.

Jasmine doing its thing. I ran this one through a Film Noir custom recipe in Silver Efex Pro 2.

Nicely done, love the tones and grain, and the swooping lines.

Largo Di Torre Argentina, it was uncovered during an excavation in 1929. Julius Caesar was assassinated in this area on the Ides of March, 44 BC.

On a lighter note, it is the home of approximately 200 stray cats. They are well cared for by volunteers and can often be seen sunbathing on the ruins.

Not sure if I'd rather get up close, or enjoy the entire Largo Di Torre Argentina without the modern pathways and railings.

Excellent work taking Nippi off to a safari park Kevin! The 135mm length is probably perfect for that location.

I will have to think about where all to take it around when it shows up in the Baltimore area.

This evening the egret was out hunting, she comes often and spends hours in the yard looking for mice, gophers, and lizards.

Nikkor 800mm 5.6 EDIF, a fantastic lens, too heavy and too long for most practical use, but optically outstanding.

The egret looks pretty and harmless, I photographed her the first time 4 years ago. Her beak is a bit worn now.

In reality she is a dedicated, patient hunter, waiting to strike!

And strike she does:

This my most careful processing in lightroom for sharpness and detail:

And the 800mm 5.6 delivers the detail! This is a 100% crop from the Z7, processed with utmost care, but processing does not add what was not there, sharpening was minimal but no-noise AI was applied as the Z7 at ISO 800+ is noisy for my taste.

Sharp focus thanks to focus peaking, when the eye iris glows red focus is nailed.

Here is the egret in youth, 2020, nice orange blemish less beak. Wonder how long they live.

For those of you that have a Z series body and not using the FTZ adapter, how are you keeping track of which lens is being used? Do you keep a log? I wish Nikon would fix what I feel is an oversight…if you have the non-cpu lens selected in-camera, it should show in the EXIF. Right now the only way this seems to work is if you use an FTZ adapter.

I might be getting carried away with the PP. Taking pictures, fun. PP, phew! I'm exhausted. I liked this one, so, sharing.

I remember this one. I could never have known that beaks age, too.
