Digging for two. Or something like that.

The ubiquitous Nikkor 40mm f/2 on my modifed Z5 was pressed into service again. One can never be sure what the lens delivers and that's part of its charm. No need to worry about IR hotspots either.

Ian, if you chose a better angle you could use foreshortening to make your dog look a little less long.

Do I get extra credit for alliteration?

Here is an example...

For the greater part i have tackled the issue by locking the focus point in a central position. Over
time i noticed that it s a thing that happens more often among the mirrorless also different brands like Sony etc.
Cameras misfocus or don't focus at all, etc..

Thanks for the suggestion, David. I had to look up foreshortening. I can see how it would work when drawing. Is the angle that you have in mind a bit higher?

My x-t3 also has a temperemental auto focus
Settings that work on my D800 behave differently and I rarely get the sharpness I can obtain with the D800, specially with moving subjects,  static subjects are usually not a problem

Yes  :D

Any angle where the head of your dog is closer to the lens than the tail. :)

A short telephoto such as an 85mm or 105mm on 36x24mm format helps without being obvious.

Dachshunds make sweet pets but they are also fierce hunters. I miss Moxie. I miss all my dogs.

Today's meta - Pentax K10D (https://bergholt.net/10d) with a vintage SMC-A 50mm 1.2 lens. Taken with a Nikon D3 & Zeiss 50mm Milvus lens.

The project with the K10D makes me want to get a Nikon D200 or Nikon D80 sometime soon.

In LR, the lens profile is not 100% reliable as it yields pincushion distortion, while the lens shows a very low barrel distortion that I do not bother correcting 90% of cases.

Heinrich Heine


Doktrin

Schlage die Trommel und fürchte dich nicht,
Und küsse die Marketenderin!
Das ist die ganze Wissenschaft,
Das ist der Bücher tiefster Sinn.

Trommle die Leute aus dem Schlaf,
Trommle Reveille mit Jugendkraft,
Marschiere trommelnd immer voran,
Das ist die ganze Wissenschaft.

Das ist die Hegelsche Philosophie,
Das ist der Bücher tiefster Sinn!
Ich hab sie begriffen, weil ich gescheit,
Und weil ich ein guter Tambour bin.

Lying in bed (Pacific time zone )(8 hours different from GMT), looking at a tablet, I came to the realization why I enjoy just flipping through the monthly blog.
Nikongear has been, as far back as I remember, the stopping place for photographers who are mature and respectful of the art of photography. 
There are rarely newbies to photography who haven't yet accumulated enough skills to actually make a fair to good image and who mistake their lack of knowledge and experience for breaking new ground.

So, I can see well done photos that display different areas of interest and style without being distracted by just bad technique. 

What a real treat.

As for me, This is one of the styles of street photography I like a lot.  All that is connoted by the phrase aides memoire.

I'm not interested in exploring new ways of 'saying' things; I want only to remember specific moments in all their texture.

Realistic setting, clean, nice colors, sufficient surroundings to convey the sense of place, people in the process of being, definite composition that guides the viewer.

3 dimensional, layered look

Enough elements to guide story-making yet usually no attempt to drive to a specific story.

Currently temperaturs rarely climb above thr freezing point and we are "blessed" with dense, cold, and wet fog all thoughout the day. Today the fog reminded more of "London smog" and at times visibility was just a few metres. The camera lies and makes the sight a tad better than what meets the naked eye, though,

It appeals to me for the same reason. NikonGear is about photography and only photography. No drama, just mature and respectful enjoyment. Not to mention considerable talent! (Myself excluded ;))

Fair enough. However I would hope that an inexperienced photographer would not be deterred from coming to learn. Everyone here has been most courteous and helpful whenever I have had questions about technique or art. One can also learn much from the photographs posted and the discussions thereon.

Quote

Yes! I have come to realise that this is the style of photograph that I enjoy most. It was David Hobby who termed it "capturing slices of life." My preference for the 35mm angle of view (on full frame) follows naturally.

Thank you for sharing the photographs!

My 400/4.5Z proved to be popular amongst the others ... Frank is seeking long-lens support in a relaxed manner.

Thank you, Fons.  Again, I was surprised how easy to take the night sky images of this quality nowadays.

Many thanks Birna, I was surprised that the Raynox works so well with only 40mm. I attached the 43mm macro lens with a step-down adapter to 58mm.
Normally I would use the Z 105mm but say for vacation this combo is excellent.
