I need to do the tonality and details at home from the RAW.
My phone editing is not good enough for these fine shots
D500 + 300PF + TC 14 v3

Lovely Frank.
Plus these are the light & wind conditions i remember when climbing on one of these back in the 1970's
(rarely been on one since!)
My favourite is the first one.
Looks like you've moved East to Asturias?
Not using any Z kit on this trip?

Ay, Colin. In fact I had a hard time choosing kit this time. I really got a lot of kit these days. Concerning battery life and speed and "reach" as in "crop what I throw out anyway" the D500 is still my favourite in these situations. Plus I love the ergonomics of the beast anyway. What is missing for me is a Z9 body with a DX chip.
Yes, you can use the Z9 in DX mode to "crop on the go". I guess you can even use it in CX mode...
I guess the best kit for yesterday's situation would be a Z9 with 4/600 and the affordable kit in price and weight for airport situations would be the z9 plus 5.6/500PF.
This time I worked with what I have and I did not plan for surfing:
D500 + 1.4/58 + 1.8/85 + 1.4/24 + 4/300PF + TC14v3
And I am still on the border of Galicia and Asturias
