Sun Backlights Cactus by taffy

Sun Backlights Cactus

One more (at least) image from the California trip. I'm so appreciative of your positive comments on my two animal shots. The flora was every bit as interesting there, and the light cooperated for Junko and me.
I'm off to visit my mom for a few days, and not taking my camera. I'll either continue to draw on the California trip or use my iPod or take a short break from photography...
Update on Z7 for those interested...today, I noticed the battery cover has fallen off somewhere...no idea when that happened as I haven't changed the battery since the Living Desert. Not impressed with the Nikon quality at this point with the problems with the sensor on now the battery door. Feels like they could have put a bit more into the design. I still like the images it takes, the feel in my hand, and think it will eventually be a great camera.
This is a cool shot .. Bit poor on Nikons part ..

That is a lot of fun. Loving the backlit spikes. Hope you have a good trip to see your mum.
Pants about the Nikon quality at that point, despite the camera itself being brilliant. Hope they take notice of your comments and do something to correct it!

Fabulous shot.
So sorry to hear about the problems with z7, it's really not good enough for such an expensive camera. No serious issues with the z6 yet.

Amazing capture of the prickly pear - somehow very sinister ! fav

Beautiful backlight Taffy! Have a great trip to see your mom. Bad news about the quality of the camera body. Hope you get it sorted! Safe travels!

This is so interesting looking. I love how the cactus is lit.
December 4th, 2018  
beautiful light and silhouettes. Sorry for the camera. It was useful though, because it prevented me from buying the Z6 :-)

Superb capture of the backlighting

Great use of backlight.

I love how you processed it to make it feel like it’s night. Have a safe trip to visit your mom. I’m so sorry to hear re your continued Z 9 frustrations
December 4th, 2018  
Cool use of the lighting! It really looks like it's one of those "negative" treatments people do in post processing.
December 4th, 2018  
It is a really intriguing shot. So much detail despite the dark. The backlighting is spectacular. I'm sorry to read of your troubles with this camera - enjoy your mini photography break.

@inthecloud5 @caterina I’m going to decide this weekend whether to return and get Z6 instead. Would handle the same and maybe they’ve fixed some things. Christine has liked hers.

Cool picture.

Is it equally sharp?
December 5th, 2018  
@jgpittenger it should be. But only 24 pixels. Faster shutter. All trade offs.

Beautiful back lighting. So very sorry about your continued frustration regarding the new camera. Sometimes, it is a good thing to just put the camera down and step away for a bit. :)
December 5th, 2018  
Fabulous capture.
December 5th, 2018  
Cool shot!
December 5th, 2018  
This is positively spooky - super shot with that lighting and the atmosphere it creates.

@caterina only had the the Z6 for a couple of weeks but it's a delight to carry around with the kit lens 24-70, so much lighter than my other camera. Have yet to test it properly with my other Nikon lenses but no complaints so far.

@inthecloud5 thank you very much for your note. I will really appreciate any future comment on the subject
December 5th, 2018  
Love it
