Did they shout out " NYPD!!!"  as they do on the Films I have seen ----

So I’ve been vigorously researching different cameras in my price range, different lenses for those cameras, and different companies as a whole, and I’ve finally sort of come down to a decision. I’m going to begin saving money for either the Sony A7III or the Nikon D780. I originally was crazy about the Canon R6, but ultimately decided it was just too expensive, and the lenses I could afford from Canon, just weren’t my favorite. Sony and Nikon have more lenses in my price range (which is pretty much $1,000 or lower except for the occasional splurge). If the Sony A7IV comes out before I finish saving, I’ll probably instantly jump fully onto the Sony bus.

I took my Z50 out this weekend to take pictures of birds, and experienced the full annoyance of the slow autofocus. Sometimes it straight up couldn’t focus on the birds. Then again, I was trying to take pictures of bald eagles and barn swallows.

I loved some of the sunset shots I was able to get on my Z50, though!

There are four of them...

Two are deconsecrated.

Mikaelskyrkan.

Originally built by the state church for the working class in the north-east part of the city, it has been used by the evangelicals and the Salvation Army and is now used by Uppsala City Mission for their work with those who live in social vulnerability and homelessness.

Equipment used:

Nikon Z6II

Nikon FTZ adapter

Nikkor AF-S 14-24/2.8G ED

We always tell beginners to go for glass before body. This can lead to some ridiculous-looking combinations, even if everything works really well...
