That's the video that shows how I process the files.

Thanks all for the kind words.

Here's a few from the past week of photographing the local birds. All shot with a Nikon Z8 and either a Nikon 24-120 F4 S lens or a Tamron 70-300 F4.5-F6.3 lens for the Nikon Z system.

Thanks for looking. If anyone is interested, I can point you to a couple of videos as to how I process those photos.

nice ones

wonderful set

The Voigtlander 50mm F2 APO is the best lens I own for the Nikon Z system and yes, I own several S line lenses made by Nikon. That's not to say that the Nikon S lenses aren't fantastic, they are, however, that Voigtlander APO is a better lens across the frame. From what I have seen, if there is CA at F2 it's slight, rare and easily fixed.

I've owned several Voigtlander lenses, and all have been incredible. The 50mm F2 APO lens will be in my bag for as long as I work with the Nikon Z system, which at this point will likely be until I stop photographing, one way or the other.

well done

very nice. I've seen that guy a few times myself but have never gotten and image as good as that one.

Everyone has to do their images the way they want to do them. I 100% understand not wanting to change
the original look. It was only a suggestion. Thanks for sharing.

I like it. I'd be curious if you cropped out the sky if you would like it even more?

Nice work. Now take the monochrome and put a platinum gradient on it in Photoshop and back off the gradient to about 15% and see if you like that better than sepia.
