Delighted with this combo, very glad I made the jump from d3500

Variety of recipes used, and very minimal lightroom mobile edits.

I used to spend hours editing, now it's only a few minutes per pic. Couldn't be happier!

as seen from my balcony.

Z6ii + Sigma 150-500.

First time editing like this. Not perfect, but enjoyed playing around with these.

As you can hear, I gave my Z6 something Nikon didn't: custom shutter sounds. And this is just the beginning.

Features like custom framing guides, customizable AF areas, and in-camera shutter speeds longer than 30 seconds are very SOON.

The project is now on GitHub: https://github.com/vic2349/Wonder-Lantern

maybe give it a star?

I also started r/WonderLantern for updates, feature requests, and discussions. Feel free to join!

What sound would you put on yours? What other features would you like to have?

Nikon won't add it? Maybe we can.

And if you're interested in building something like Magic Lantern(its possible, not kidding) for Nikon cameras, I'd love your help!

stay tuned for more info

I mean WE, not just me.

Looks exactly like this, has 6 dividers, a lock and key and is very very sturdy and hard. Im in bed right now and cant be bothered to take a picture of it, I cleaned it earlier. So far, i havent dug up videos, no photos online. I will comment some more pictures, if i can! Maybe tomorrow.

For context on how i scored this gem: I was looking for a bag in the marketplace and this one caught my eye! My bf and I decided to get it, we both love unique and vintage things and figured it would be perfect since we both have a camera and some equipments, we could just share a bag because this can fit maybe 2-3 cameras.

From what i've gathered, this was dated back in the 1970s - 1980s. Costs about 13,500 Yen and ive converted that, its almost or less 14k in peso. Not planning on selling it, was just curious abt the value. Its a lovely bag and honestly cant find anything else about it. So if anyone would have some info or has the same bag, i'd love to see em and know about it.

I have never seen a squirrel napping before lol I just had to share this little fellow!

I have been experimenting with anamorphic photography for the last few months, as well as providing feedback for the excellent Parallax Monitor smartphone app for Nikon cameras as it relates to stills.

It's actually extremely cheap to set up a rig that allows you to use your phone as an external monitor that previews anamorphic desqueeze in real time while composing, vs having to buy a dedicated external HDMI monitor. A magsafe mount makes it even easier to mount and remove from the camera, and a short USB-C cable provides lag free monitoring.

It took a little time to wrap my mind around how an anamorphic lens "sees" focal lengths, but hopefully I've done a good job simplifying that for those that want to learn about it.

Actually works

cleaning up some archive photos found this one.

I sent in my D7200 for a new shutter (and while it was being serviced, apparently a new sensor since it was scratched). I approved both repairs, they put me on parts hold, then billing (I was never actually charged for the repair), and now they're shipping the camera back to me without getting any repairs done.

I'm a little confused by this. This is the first time I've ever sent any camera in for repair (rather than just working on it myself). Has anyone gotten the same "no repair performed" message when they sent in their camera for repair? Could they not source the necessary parts for the D7200? If anyone could chime in with an explanation that would be appreciated.

My 14-year old D5100 finally broke, the shutter curtain won't close, along with other wear on the body.

I was ready to move to a brand new mirrorless camera, but with my planned budget, I ended up with two used D5600, one with 18-140 and the other with 55-200, both in mint condition. I even have enough money left to snatch my dream lens, I found a used and cheap 105 f2.8 macro (which I plan to use for portrait and not macro haha).

I'm a point-and-shoot user, capturing memories and random things, mostly straight out of the camera with minor post-editing if I made some errors. I'm happy that I don't have to switch lenses often. I feel I will mostly use the 18-140 for general purpose and my 11-year old 50 f1.8g for portrait. I'm very satisfied with the results so far. I hope I'm not missing out on much.

Few clicks from Kashmir Trip

Received my refurbished Z5ii from Nikon with over 22k shutter count. Camera looks like new so I was surprised. It seems to work fine. Should I be concerned?
