An Experiment

[ckcarr]

My first experience using a mirrorless camera. Trying a new Nikon Z7 for landscapes. Yes, I had a few problems, mainly like teaching an old dog new tricks, etc. And not the best light or sky either. Anyway, this was the first time I'd been to this location in probably two years, and these days I was cringing as I got closer - expecting a group of fifty photographers... Fortunately, there were zero! Possibly because the Jeep road was, in fact, a real Jeep road full of snow and ice..

Anyway, my first day shooting with the Z7... The standard shot here.

I know that place, looks very nice. How you liking the mirrorless?

This is really cool Craig! You did well!

Yeah, I think I would be right there with you on the mirrorless camera learning curve. It does seem to be the future though.

You need some clouds - that sky looks naked. Nice to get somewhere worth shooting and have the place to yourself. Nice control with the DoF for a first day out with a new toy.

I suppose I could have just posted this in the Nikon discussion board since I'll offer my thoughts little by little of the body versus the D850. Still, when I bought it I then had to wait for a back-ordered FTZ lens adapter which made this my only shot thus far... Unfortunately, I didn't have control over those clouds though, although many times I really like the super clear Utah sky. And the right side is a little washed out because I had a direct hit from the setting sun almost right at 90 degrees (was trying to shield it the best I could).
