A Wet Rose

[JimFox]

I captured this a few days ago with my new Nikon Z8 and 24-200mm lens. All of my camera's are feeling their age, especially my lenses, so I decided it was time to finally move up into Mirrorless. The Z8 is described as the upgrade to the Nikon D850, and that's what I have been waiting for. I would say it is indeed the D850's upgrade. Later I might make a post of all of my thoughts on it, and any issues in transitioning from the D850 to the Z8. But for now, let me just post this wet rose.

Captured with the 24-200mm at 200mm and f6.3 (wide open). I am very impressed with the sharpness of the 24-200mm. A constant aperture would have been great, but I like the extra reach it gives me from my old 24-120mm.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Gorgeous Jim... Happy for your new Nikon. I'll be interested in your opinions on mirrorless.

Very nice. The wet rose stands out against the dark background.

Congrats on your new toy.

Thank you Trent!

The Nikon Z8/9 were the first mirrorless cameras that I felt finally raised the bar above my D850. Prior to that they all felt like a lateral move.

Thanks Alan. Yep, lots to learn, lots of changes, but at least the Mode and ISO buttons are still in the same position as on the D850.

Thanks Jameel! It was still raining when I saw Joe cool the roses looked, so I had to be quick.

I appreciate that Jeffrey. I am happy it came out DSO well. This is almost straight out of the camera.

Excellent image, Jim. That camera looks like a winner.

Very nice shot. Good subject, sharp, good colour and pleasing background that sets the flower off.

Wet Rose Friday could be a thing for focal World.

Thanks Doug! It's taking a bit getting used to, but I think it's a winner.

Now there is an idea! Thanks Eric!
