Oleee Aguinaldo! Love it. As Akira said, there is character in the tree. Strange and appealing. Beautiful light and sense of space. It becomes an habitat here that complements the slender being perfectly. B&w treatment fnatastic, as usual.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Akira and Paco.
This place is crowded with strange trees. I’ll soon post some more.

Aguinaldo, How hard is it to work with the EVF in the bright, blazing tropical sunlight?  I have not used a Z6/7, and my little Fujifilm EVFs are pretty feeble in brightness when used in bright sun.

No problem at all Keith. I’m loving this camera.
I’d like to see a comparison regarding picture quality between the D5 and Z6 to anticipate my move towards mirrorless.
In this trip I’m carrying both, but using the Z6 in more than 90% of the pictures. Ok, the D5 is attached to the 70-200mm and I’m more wa for my subjects. Maybe the lightness of the Z6 is forcing me to use it and leave the D5 in the bag.

This one has a surreal quality which again I really like; also the feeling of immense space.

Great shot, Aguinaldo. Subject and the black-white processing

Agree with you the Nikon Z6 is a very special Camera (if you are used to it)

How are your feelings about the 14-30/4 S  ?

Thanks John.
This lens with the Z6 is a dream come true. Its lightness is very important to me because I move a lot during the photo sessions.
Also, the sharpness and zoom range are great.
I'd like to see a comparison between this camera and the D5 and this lens against the Zeiss 18mm. Maybe I'll do it myself.
