Pensive Gorilla

Andie @ukandie1 and I headed to the zoo today so I could do further tests with the Nikon Z7. Today my focus was on cropping - and how it handles it while maintaining details and clarity. I've continued to be pleased with this mirrorless. But I learned today the adaptor apparently only works with Nikon lenses, so I couldn't use my Tamrom super zoom with it.

Such an interesting learning curve for you. This is a remarkable portrait.

[*lynn]

fabulous lighting … so much emotion in that face, makes me feel sad for him ...fav

[Helen Jane]

There is so much to consider when you have got all of the kit. Im sure my head would explode. Looks like the camera copes well with cropping. There is plenty of detail here. I love his grumpy expression.

[Jane Pittenger]

Great expression, great detail despite cropping but how frustrating and disheartening re the Tamron. What to do?

[FBailey]

Incredibly powerful shot

[Dawn]

A fabulous capture

[Casablanca]

Very pensive fellow. How frustrating that you can only use Nikon lenses with the adaptor though! How is your camera? Is it recovered from its hospital visit yet?

[Mave]

Didn't see this yesterday. It is beautiful. Fav!

[Clare Gadsby]

so thoughtful. beautifully lit

[Joanna kate]

Better on black for seeing his rather pensive eyes

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful portrait- the details in the eyes are very catching.

[Rosie Kerr]

I struggle with the gorillas... so pensive and complex. Still, a beautiful portrait.

[Junko Y]

Pensive is exactly the word that came to my mind even before I read the title. Beautiful profile of a pensive gorilla.

[Pyrrhula]

Great portrait and capture.

[Vesna]

Great portrait!
