 Various shots taken in and around Norwich with a Nikon D7000

Still LIfe

Some still life images taken in natural light (no artificial lights or LED's etc) of various compositions, and in the footsteps of still life masters. 

Taken with a Nikon Z 7II, tripod and various settings (but typically with an ISO of circa 25K and 1/200 sec. @ f/22 39 mm - on a tripod!)

Every so often a photo opportunity - is just there. This is one of those times

British Countryside (Nikon Z fc)

Experimenting with a Nikon Z fc. The Nikon Z fc Mirrorless Camera combines iconic Nikon FM2 SLR design with Z series innovation and advanced technology. 

The compact and lightweight magnesium alloy body makes this camera highly portable and is ideal for both existing and first-time mirrorless camera users, I use it for travel and a compact alternative to a DSLR.

The top of Z fc’s body features three dials and a small window that displays the aperture. The dials control shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO, so this camera is super-easy to use. 

Here's the tech stuff; The 20.9 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor along with the EXPEED 6 image processing engine powers up to 11 fps shooting, super-fast AF, ISO 100-51200 (Expandable up to 204800), plus 4K and HD video features originally introduced on the Nikon Z 7II and Nikon Z 6II. 

It’s also the first Nikon Z camera to feature a vari-angle monitor, I generally find it easy to use and it produces reasonable results when compared to my D7000

Venice Jan 2021 with a Nikon Z fc

Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. 

A brief photo opportunity with just a day to explore the city once again, following an earlier trip some years ago. This time the shots were taken with my compact Nikon Z fc. travel companion with an attempt to not capture the more typical shots of the City

Venice has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.

Exed

Exed - experimental editing. Exed was a theme set by a social media photo group (Facebook)  that I'm a member of. 

The challenge was on - and while it's not my favourite subject these are some of the results. Most images taken with a Nikon D7000 and all edited with Corel PaintShop Pro X9
