I have both the arsenal and arsenal II. I am an amateur. That said, ordinarily it won't do anything better than you can do yourself and it won't be any faster. It can, not doubt outrun a rookie. Even then, on the down side, it may slow his learning speed. But then, I like toys. I may go back and play with the II some more.


Ignore my comment. If I could I'd delete it, I would. My comments due to my faulty memory are related to the first Arsenal release. It's been so long, I didn't realize I have barely used the Arsenal II though I've had it for a while.

There was quite a bit of discussion of this topic three or four years ago. A search should bring up some of those topics.

There are a few things to remember about the moon. The first is that it is a subject without much contrast, especially the full moon. The second is that it is illuminated by the same sunlight that illuminates the earth at noon on a very clear day. The third is that there are a surprising number of variables, most related to the photographer's location and how high the moon is in the sky. We know from the Apollo lunar landings that moon rock is gray, and that the surface appears a very pale orange if you are actually there.

Photographing the moon is best accomplushed as a Manual operation...across the board...including no Auto ISO and no Auto WB. You may be able to auto focus on the limb (the edge) of the moon, but you may need to focus manually, as well.

I have found that, as a general rule, the moon high in the sky needs about one stop more than a sunlit exposure on earth, most of the time. Da
An example would be 1/400 at ISO 400 at f/11. Daylight White Balance. If the moon is near the horizon, you will need one or two stops of additional exposure.

These are all starting points. You will need to bracket or experiment to get the proper exposure at your shooting location and time. Also...make sure that your camera is not set to a portrait mode or some other low contrast mode. There's not much contrast to start with, and you don't need to be reducing it any.

If you are capturing raw files, this is not a time to be exposing to the right. You need to be in the "meat" of the response curve in order to get the image information you will need.

So...Manual everything, be prepared to experiment, and when you think you have it all figured out, bracket anyway.

Good luck and have fun.

There was a similar explanation that stuck with me. Someone responded to my question by saying, "shoot it like a rock with a light shining on it." That stuck with me. Attached is D500, f14, 1/200 sec, ISO 900, 300 mm
Luck!

Read every response. Was surprised that there was only one mention of Drop Box. You have an iPad. Back up to Drop Box or One Drive. You can then access it anywhere and all your stuff will be safe until you get home. Luck.

I did figure it out many months ago. Doesn't do anything I can't do. Haven't used it in so long I'd have to learn it again.

I bought a Refurbished D850 from Nikon in May, 2021 for $2195. Shutter count when I received it was 2. Assume the shot I took to get the shutter count was #2. Everything about it was like new. You might want to take a look and see what they have available, including price and consider your options.

You may have Fangs in the morning. Of course, if you stand in front of a mirror to check it out, you may be invisible. Try your Z9, the 850 won't work.

I bought the first generation, in I think 2019, and out of pure curiosity I bought the 2nd gen in mid 2021. It arrived in February. I'm 74 but it doesn't do anything I can't do with my eyes and my fingers. No appreciable speed difference either. According to my wife I can't do anything right, so go on... side with her. Buy it ;-)

The shot is very well done and represents an artist at the height of her profession.

In defense of some observations regarding her composition, it has to be said that those observations are formed by life experience for the most part. I think of the emaciated children in other photographs. The difference is that the children are malnourished and weak. The artist is not malnourished nor weak. She is the opposite of both terms. It is the individual's life experience that colors their interpretation of what they view.

Where I find problems is in the demand by a viewer for the photographer to "toe the line" as to their model's image.

For a differing view of dancers. I suggest viewing a Georgian Dance group doing some of their dances. You Tube has several examples. The men dance en pointe. E.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSa54yp5bCo

To each dance type, there are distinct body shapes. Google International Folk Dance, particularly those in Africa.

It does take an appreciative eye for the photographer to move the expression into the shot.

Stephan G, you did such a better and more gentile a job than I did in my post. I agree with you completely.

Wow, I must be missing something. Could a ballerina successfully do what she does and be strong enough to do it if she were anorexic. Would any of you (doctors???) who made the diagnosis explain that? Musculature looks pretty tight. I find her gorgeous, but I'm a spectrum to spectrum kinda guy.
