An Ode to Winter with a Macro Lens

Still testing my new Nikon camera, this time with a macro lens Nikkor Z 105mm f/2.8.

Love this prime lens for its versatility. It’s very sharp and produces really beautiful portraits with a swirly bokeh. I can capture a dog running at me at full speed or a bird taking off from a tree branch or a feeder.

Having switched to the macro mode, I can fill the whole frame with a close up of a water droplet frozen mid-flight from a tree leaf at f/18, still hand holding the camera.

All this beauty was captured last week and now the Winter Wonderland has melted away and Spring is in the air. Can’t wait for the cherry blossom!

If you would like to lend me your dog to test this camera’s boundaries, please reach out. :-)

From Pennsylvania with Love - February 2022 edition

From Pennsylvania with Love - February 2022 edition

New Nikon camera with Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 again.

I had to bring this lens again into the woods as the light conditions were perfect to capture the sunshine reflected in every single icicle on the the branches. In my eyes the sparkly winter wonderland wins over the bright-colored fall foliage we enjoy in Western Pennsylvania

I wanted the snow fairytale and I got it and now it’s gone sadly. I must say judos to Joyka who patiently waited for me stopping every five minutes and completing our morning hike only by lunchtime that day.

If you would like to lend me your dog to test this camera’s boundaries, please reach out. :-)

Testing Nikon’s focus tracking in combination with an ultra-wide lens

Testing Nikon’s focus tracking in combination with an ultra-wide lens

I continue testing my new Nikon camera - this time with Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 on.

It was the last day when we could enjoy the light reflected from every single surface - leaves, tree branches, snow flakes before it all melted away. I thought that I needed an ultra-wide lens to capture the overall atmosphere of the ice kingdom while it lasted.

What I also love about shooting wide is this wonderful feeling of a participant in the scene, not a distant observer.

If you would like to lend me your dog to test this camera’s boundaries, please reach out. :-)
