Podcasts about nikon z9

This week Brad shares about his incredible success photographing Roughed Grouse with the Nikon Z9's auto-capture abilities. It's exciting to hear about his testing and multiple tries and getting some amazing results from it! I share about a recent morning out in the South Carolina marshes and at a wading bird rookery all shooting the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 TC lens. Lastly we wrap up with a listern question discussing what gear to buy in a certain situation.

In episode 5 of the PhotoWILD Podcast, Jared Lloyd and Annalise Kaylor discuss what it takes to plan a trip to Yellowstone National Park in the winter. This year, they spent a month photographing wildlife in this winter wonderland and discuss the many different considerations they make for preparing for their time there. From equipment choices to timing based on statistical averages for weather, if you have ever wanted to photograph in Yellowstone in the winter, you won't want to miss this episode. Key Takeaways While the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has the greatest species diversity of mammals in North America, there is an incredible array of avian species to photograph this time of year such as bald eagles, golden eagles, black-billed magpies, snow buntings, and the endangered Rocky Mountain trumpeter swan - to name just a few. Lens choices are made for very personal reasons based on the exact type of photographs someone wants to create - close up portraits, environment photographs, images of wolves, images of bison, etc. Identifying what the opportunities will be and specifically what type of photographs you want to create of those species should dictate what equipment you bring on a trip like this. Historically, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem experiences very deep cold in January and very snowy conditions in February. If you want frosty bison, you should travel to the region in January. If you want photographs of animals in heavy falling snow, statistically speaking, you should travel to Yellowstone in February. Low pressure systems impact wildlife behavior. The day before a big storm hits an area, wildlife activity increases exponentially. Successful wildlife photography often comes down to understanding the very unique windows of time that certain opportunities can be found. For instance, if you want moose in the snow, you should come to Yellowstone as early as possible - December to January 15th. Moose are the first species to loose their antlers in the ecosystem. By the end of January, you will be hard pressed to find a single moose that still holds antlers. Jared's Yellowstone kit includes the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 with built in 1.4 TC, the Nikon 800mm PF f/6.3 lens, 2 Nikon Z9 camera bodies, the Sony FX6 cinema camera, and Sony 200-600 f/5.6-6.3 lens. Annalise's Yellowstone kit includes the Sony 400mm f/2.8, the Sony 200-600, Sony A1 camera bodies.   Want to join us in Yellowstone next year? Each year, Jared and Annalise lead workshops to Yellowstone National Park in the winter. If you would like to join us in 2024, which will be Jared's 31st trip he has led there, then check out https://www.jaredlloyd.com/winter-wildlife-yellowstone

In this episode, Jared and Annalise discuss photographing pelagic seabirds at a nesting colony along the Caribbean Coast of Panama. While many different species utilize the island, the red-billed tropicbirds and brown boobies stole the show. The word “pelagic,” means open ocean. These are species of birds that spend their entire lives on the wing out over the ocean, returning to land only once a year to breed. Of all the many species of birds around the world, pelagic seabirds are both the least understood and also the most threatened group of birds on the planet. Key Takeaways in this Episode When it comes to photographing birds in flight, backgrounds are everything Contrasting colors are one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing how and where to photograph a species. Experiments are beginning to suggest that turning off eye detect autofocus increases success rates with birds in flight Understanding how to use close-focus priority autofocus area modes will dramatically improve your bird in flight photography. Equipment Considerations Bird in flight photography is always easiest when hand holding a lens. But when it comes to photographing from a boat, this is a must. Finding a balance between weight and focal length is important. On this particular trip, Jared used a Nikon 500mm PF f/5.6 lens with the FTZ adaptor on a Nikon Z9. While this is a fantastic little lens, Jared said he will never do it again. The weather sealing of this lens was just not up to par with what was demanded of the equipment this year in Panama. And by the time they were in boats photographing pelagic seabirds, the 500mm PF lens had condensation INSIDE of the lens itself. This dramatically impacted the lenses ability to find and accurately lock focus. Instead, Jared had to switch to his Nikon 120-300mm f/2.8 lens instead. This lens, while perfect for photographing monkeys and sloths and various mammals in Panama, was not brought with the intention to be used to photograph birds on the open ocean. Next time, Jared will bring the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 w/ built in 1.4 teleconverter instead for this situation. Annalise used the Sony A1 with the Sony 400mm f/2.8 and had no trouble with weather proofing. While a heavier lens then most would opt for using to photograph birds in flight, the superior glass, weather sealing, and autofocusing capabilities of this lens proved to make the additional weight well worth the effort.

Had a chance this week to go and enjoy some incredible sketches and watercolours at the Ashmolean in Oxford.  The artists?  The Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood - one of my favourite groups of artists.  Somewhat uncharacteristically, we also developed some Ilford XP2 film (our daughter wants a film camera) and I've been testing a few old boxes we've had laying around for the past 20 years or more. The results, if I was being charitable, weren't a disaster.  But they weren't great either. And that's in stark contrast to the camera I am using daily: the Nikon Z9.   This camera is so utterly good that it is literally changing everything I have believed in since I first picked up a DSLR.  Have a listen and see if you agree with me (or not!) Would love to hear your thoughts. Also, a quick reminder, if you're listening to the BEFORE 20th September 2022, Sarah and I will be presenting on the Graphistudio stand at the Photography Show at 1pm - grandstanding as usual - and you can also catch us on the BIPP stand, doing business and portfolio reviews. See you there! Cheers P. If you enjoy this podcast, please head over to Mastering Portrait Photography, for more articles and videos about this beautiful industry.  PLEASE also subscribe and leave us a review - we'd love to hear what you think! If there are any topics, you would like to hear, have questions we could answer or would like to come and be interviewed on the podcast, please contact me at paul@paulwilkinsonphotography.co.uk.

NOTE: This is not an official Nikon USA show. This is a podcast first and foremost, and Nikon was kind enough to allow my guest, Mark Cruz, to come speak about the Nikon AF system options. This is not intended to be a technical training, but a conversation with Mark to better understand the choices you have in customizing the current line of Nikon camera AF systems. Obviously, there are still some constraints here. I try to keep the shows at a reasonable length - for some behind the scenes reasons related to the podcast versions of the show - and my guests often have limited time as well. I have a lot of people that listen to the audio only version of the show, and so there will be times I inject myself into the conversation to be sure the topic we are discussing is absorbable by those without video, as well as to moderate time so that we can at least get to all of the planned topics. Still, my hope is that explaining the AF options one-at-a-time in some detail will help you to get more out of the camera system you have. I recently did a special episode taking a detailed look at the current Canon Auto-Focus systems, and now it's time to do the same for the Nikon users. As I explained in the first show in this series, my relationship with auto-focus systems hasn't always been a great one. Like most photographers, it's so easy to say "the camera missed focus", or "it front or back focused". The problem is that's not the case more often than not. Don't misunderstand me, these issues are real. Cameras and lenses are not perfect, and the software that runs anything today can have issues, but focus issues often relate to the end user not having the AF system configured correctly, or not understanding how the system really works. Cameras today are complex electronic systems, and for many end users the process of customizing the AF systems is a daunting task. This results in many users leaving the camera at it's default settings, and while for many that may end up working, with a bit of customization these AF systems are capable of amazing speed and accuracy. Camera manuals are written by people that already understand the tech involved, and as "plain English" as they try to be, there just isn't enough detail in the text to make the menu options useful to many end users. My goal with these two shows is to demystify the camera AF system options available to you. For this show I am joined by Mark Cruz, a Senior Manager, Product Digital Cameras with Interchangeable Lenses (DCIL) at Nikon USA. Mark is responsible for bringing new digital imaging products to market, including the latest Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras and NIKKOR Z lenses. He also helps manage marketing and educational efforts for Nikon products across a variety of platforms and social media channels. Previously he was a Senior Technical representative for Nikon Canada, responsible for spearheading business development through technical sales and services. In 2019, he moved to the U.S. to join the Marketing department at Nikon USA. Together we are going to go through the auto-focus menu options available to you to better customize the AF system for your shooting style and needs. Our example camera for this show will be a Nikon Z9, and while you may have a different camera body, most of the options will apply to most of the current Nikon mirrorless lineup. For those that use older Nikon DSLRs there will still be some overlap to help you, and if you use non-Nikon gear it's my hope that the concepts we discuss will help. Join Mark Cruz, a Senior Manager, Product Digital Cameras with Interchangeable Lenses (DCIL) at Nikon USA, and me as we take a deep dive into the amazing auto-focus systems available in the current line of Nikon cameras, using the Z9 as the example, on this Behind the Shot.

The Lensrentals Podcast is finally back, and today we're tackling questions that many people have been wondering about - comparing the three latest flagships from the Canon, Nikon, and Sony. Join Ryan Hill, Joey Miller, and Zach Sutton as they walk through all the features of each camera, to determine which one is best for each use case. Though the Canon R3 was released in late November, the Nikon Z9 was released in December, and the Sony A1 was released in early 2021, supply has been incredibly limited on all three systems. As such, many people haven't had the opportunity to get the cameras in their hands, leaving us with a lot of questions. In this episode of the Lensrentals Podcast, listen in as we try to answer all your questions, and share our opinions on which one is our personal favorite. Rent the R3, Z9, or A1 and try them out for yourself.   The Lensrentals Podcast is a production of Lensrentals, founded by Roger Cicala. Our production staff includes Drew Cicala, Ryan Hill, Sarah McAlexander, SJ Smith, Julian Harper, John Tucker, and Zach Sutton.
