Much to like about this photo. The reflection the trail in the water . The subtle blue.But a little more of the scene in front of the bird. So it doesn’t look like he is leaving the frame.
Good point, I like the leading lines from the wake leading to the bird.

I don't even care for Ebay anymore.
I am a top rated seller on Ebay for over 10 years. The buyer is very protected, as soon as the buyer wants to return an item, their money is reimbursed. No questions asked.
I have found it a very safe place to buy products, the buyer is always protected.
But you must follow the directions, and they are very simple.
Even a 5 year old could do it.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.

Anyone ever deal with a company called Mercari?
It's supposed to be a consumer-to-consumer site. They claim that their policy is that they don't process your payment until three days after you receive a product, and that you can return it within the three-day period.
I've seen a few websites say they are legit.
Sounds Great.
They have a BBB rating of A
Sounds Great.
Their customer rating on the BBB site is 1.06 stars out of five (over 1000 reviews). WHAT? Given that some people misclick, I wouldn't have thought that was possible.
I see a listing for a Nikon Z 7 ii today for Under $400 -- with the 24-70 claiming that it has about 300 clicks. What????
My first, second and third reactions are this has got to be a scam. But if I'm not charged until I receive the item, I'm not sure I'm seeing what it is.
Anyway -- comfortable in the belief that if it looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is. I'm not going to bite.
But does anyone know what the play on the part of the seller is here.

Does anyone own this lens and if so I'd appreciate your impressions.
Thanks so much.
I used to shoot that off my D7200 camera, it is a APS-C lens so the field of view would be about 27-300mm. I used it for vacations and travel, liked it a lot, nice range.

Digital cameras don't work that way. Take the digital images and merge in software like PSE on your computer. Assuming 'double exposure' in the sense of exposing the same frame of film twice.
The camera does support AEB - Auto Exposure Bracketing - something you can use as input to a merged HDR image, using computer software. The HDR function doesn't appear in the User Manual for this model.
On Nikon, double exposures are easy in RAW. In fact, there is a page on two in the manual covering how to do it. Easy as can be, and it's on a DIGITAL camera. Below is an example. Moon was added easily with the Nikon system.

I am thinking of replacing my Tamron 150-600 Di VC lens. I have a Nikon D7000 and a new Z7ii. I have been very happy with the Tamron it works well on the D7000, BUT it does not auto focus on the Z7ii. As best as I can find it is the firmware/software on the lens and cannot be updated. I love the Z7ii and the focusing capabilities. I am thinking of the Nikon's F mount 200-500 f/5.6 E ED (used it can be had for 900 range at MBP) or the Z mount 180-600 f/5.6-6.3 VR (new 1,700 no used listed that I have found). I have the F to Z adapter. I have been happy with my past used purchases from the usual suspects (KEH, B&H). I have a few F mount lens those that autofocus work with the F2Z adapter and work on the Z7ii. I have two Z mount lenses 24-120 and the 105, both are S lenses and have to me outstanding image quality. I would be using this lens for birds and other nature photos. If you have either or both which do you think has the best image quality and would be my best option?

Has anyone ever produced a really good pancake lens? It seems all the ones I've ever seen just rate ok, not excellent. I would like to have a very good copy of one of these to do street photography with. In the z system, even the 50mm looks like a short telephoto and is more lens than I would like to show when doing discrete shooting.
Nikon had one back in the film days, it was really cool and produced great images.
As far as I know many camera manufactures have one, and they are really good and produce very sharp images.
When I do street photography I use a 70-200 mm 2.8 lens, and yes, it allows me to shoot from a distance, which makes me discrete.
And if I really like someone, I will ask if I can take there likeness, I have yet to be refused.
Besides, when you ask, you get a smile, and isn't that what you really want?

I just received a used Nikon D5 (in really good shape), but its firmware is 1.00, and the latest version is 1.50.
Can I just use the file that upgrades from 1.40 to 1.50 or do I have to find other upgrade files to upgrade by steps?
Steve Perry has a video on exactly how to do that.

How did they turn out, and where did you have them done?
I went to SFO over spring break to see my grand niece and took a few tours of the area. I got only ONE decent pic of the Golden Gate Bridge and I's like to get it printed, but if I used my printer, the best I'd be able to do would be 18x4". Googling, I closest match I found was that M-pix has a 5x30 paper print available (don't think it's available in metal), but I didn't check the price and I've never used them before. Opinions/suggestions?

I am interested in purchasing a used camera using E-Bay. I have never used the site before, and have several questions.
1. How do you know the item is actually as described?
2. If necessary, is there a way to send the item back and get a refund?
3. Are there any possible problems in dealing with E-Bay?
4. If so, how avoid them?
If any of you who have dealt with E-Bay have any advice, I would be pleased to hear it.
Thanks in advance.
If the item is NOT as described, the buyer has a month to return it. Ebay protects the buyer more than it protects the seller. There are many tools to address an item that is not as described. You can simple click on RETURN THIS ITEM. It is really easy for the buyer to do so.
I have sold and bought over 500 items off Ebay, and yes, there are crooks out there just like anywhere else, but they are few.
Every seller has a rating, I have a 100% rating and I am a Top Rated Plus seller. I do not buy from anyone who does not have a 100% rating and a Top Rated Plus rating.
