I might suggest getting the D810 ... you'll enjoy it, I'm sure, like I have ... but be ready for a heavier feel.
Lloyd
Excellent ... I also love lighthouses.

These are some very nice images ... some look a tad soft in spots ... are you using Program Mode ? I try to use high ISO and Aperture preferred mode which allows me to shoot at f/16 or f/22 to maximized DOF. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.

Would be nive to see in color. Thanks.
Lloyd
Absolutely stunning. GREAT !
Lloyd
Very good. I would like to see the color version. Thanks.

I use aperture Priority to control the Depth of Field [DOF] ... either wide open to control the blurriness of the background or to obtain the most DOF, while taking pictures of flowers. At times, to attain the desired effect, I have to increase the ISO, or use a tripod, particularly using f/16 to f/22 in a poorly lit situation.
Good Luck.

First of all ... the 105 Micro NIKOR is an outstanding lens ... for clinical photography I use a ring light for lighting using this lens. There are several available, depending onyour needs and budget. B&H Photo Video is a good source.
