    Yellowstone Park

    Been their a couple of times and both of them was lucky to see a young beer messing around not far from the road. I would say landscape wise one of the main things to consider would be having some interesting cloud, the geothermal features do tend to be fairly flat so skys will often end up a...

    Nikon Df Battery Drain

    I do believe you've got it in one, never been so happy to make such a simple mistake, I blame years of shooting a D850 set to 30 secs and the small DF top plate LCD. ;)

    Sunrise

    Personally my Voigtlander 20mm 3.5 ends up being my best anti flair UWA, I'd guess a good combination of fairly modern lens coating but also a relative modest amount of glass in it.

    Nikon Df Battery Drain

    Finally gave in to my years long itch to try a Df picking up a used body with 9K on it for a decent price but I'm noticing what seems to be an issue with battery drain. I don't think its present(or at least not as notable) when the camera is off and the actual use itself doesn't seem to...

    Where do all the MegaPixels go ?

    I would say though the idea non pros don't need resolution can be a bit questionable, often I'd imagine it might be the opposite with a lot of pros never really needing to print large were as someone say taking a few holiday pics might reasonably want do so some big 30-40 inch print from them...

    MPB - how accurate are their "instant valuations"

    My experience is a few years ago now but I remember them always being accurate although I never sold anything to them which had more than some very minor wear so not much reason for them to quibble on condition.

    Wide angle for nikon

    I suspect this is one of the causes were focus distance plays a big part in lens performance given that test charts are going to be used at very close distances and the 16-35mm seems more optimised for infinity, it did much better on the lensrental(who test at infinity with an optical bench)...

    Zeiss announces ZX1 full-frame compact camera

    I'd guess it would have drawn more interest were the lens to be faster, seems like a camera that size could balance a 35mm F/1.4 lens.

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Honestly I think Nikon have been potentially smarter there, the 24-70mm range has allowed them to make a lens that's genuinely compact compared to the Sony and Canon 24-105mm's, As with their smaller primes as well they seem to be treating it as an "end point" release rather than something with...

    f/1.8 Primes for canon, below 50mm?

    I'd imagine because he wants to shoot wider than 50mm with an aperture faster than F/2.8.

    Slightly dopey novice question re flying to America and camera kit

    I would say be somewhat careful when it comes to putting carry on luggage with equipment in it into the overhead storage as it can sometimes get pretty crowded leading to people trying ram stuff in, really just keep an eye on things as to make sure nobody does this and if possible use hard sided...

    Beginner Why is it?.......Woodland photography

    I would say part of the issue is that perhaps people underestimate the importance of weather conditions when shooting in woodland relative to other kinds of landscape photography. I mean on one level woodland can actually be very well suited for overcast days yet personally I find its actually...

    HELP PLEASE - Pano Experts?

    It does seem a bit unpredictable what will work with automation and personally I would go with 1/3 overlap at least shooting wider. You do have the advantage as well that you get a final image with fewer abnormally shaped edges as well.

    I find the UK boring for landscape photography. Please change my mind!

    I would say the weather goes both ways, its unpredictability means that planned trips on specific dates can often fail but equally I think the shear variety of it can definitely work in your favour if you have time on your side. I mean I'v been taking pictures for sale in the Stroud area for 5-6...
