Harbor Sunset

[TimMc]

My area is not doing well with the Corona Virus and I am making do with what I can shoot like this nearby harbor. The background buildings block most of the color after sunset. To compensate I try to leave the sun like it is in this picture. I end up really under exposing the foreground and bringing it back in post processing. All of that was to explain the fun part. I finally found banding from the Nikon sensor all the early reviews complained about. And when I print the picture, a 12 x 18 isn't big enough to show the banding. I think most of those reviews need a better perspective.

Beautiful image and well thought out. I agree, I used to read all the pixel peepers on other forums, this one is dedicated to good results.

This certainly works for my eyes at this resolution. Nice sunset.

Neat image, Tim.

Pretty cool indeed Tim! I think it's great that all of us probably got out to the extent that we could during the Coronavirus. That's a pretty cool looking harbor.

Which Nikon is it that you shot this with?

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Tim!

Thank you Jim. I shoot this with the Z7.

Thank you Jim. I shoot this with the Z7.

The Z7 is supposed to be really cool!

Does it have an optical view finder or a EVF?

I have never used Liveview ever, until now with my Deep Space Astro it's coming in handy a little bit. So I have started to think about the Z7, or maybe it's successor since I use the D850.

The Z7 has an EVF. I got it as the step up from my D810. I am really happy with it. I have 2 native lenses, the 24-70 f4 and the 14-30 f4. The 24-70 is easily an equivalent to my old 24-70 f2.8. The 14-30 f4 blows away every wide angle lens I have used. The FTZ adapter takes Nikon lenses well, but is a frustration with the 3rd party lenses I tried.

I also picked up a Z50 as a backup. Great little camera but I just am spoiled with full frame for landscape.

I like it too, Tim.
