Nikon just posted another Ambassador on Ambassador interview. This time with Rod Mar and Joe McNally. Enjoy!
Robert G Allen Photography sits down with Nashville photographer Chris Hershman about his photography journey and his departure from the Nikon Ambassador program.
Overall, I highly recommend the Nikon P950 camera for what it’s intended for, zooming in on a faraway subject. If your subject is in good light, and you make sure AF is locked on, you will be rewarded with photos that are perfectly acceptable for website use, social media and even for making prints to frame and hang in your home.
As I have written before, with the release of the Canon (R1) and SONY’s (A1 II and A9 III) flagship cameras, Nikon now has the receipt they need to make sure the Z9II eclipses both of those competing flagship cameras. This sounds easy enough since they now have the answer as to what specs the Z9II needs to have. But, both SONY and Canon cameras abilities are not static due to the option of firmware updates. And that’s exactly what just happened with both of SONY’s flagship cameras.
Within a few days of taking delivery of the complete professional f/2.8 zoom trio, Nikon announced the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, replacing the original NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens I had just purchased. For now, I’m staying with the original 24-70 f/2.8 Z lens for now, mostly due to the price difference. Once the novelty wares off and the price comes down on the new version, I’m sure I will eventually purchase the II version and sell the original one.
After receiving the Nikon Z5II, I immediately took it out for a test drive. I could not be more pleased with the results of this little gem of a camera. Check back often since I will be adding to this collection periodically.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
This latest release takes the version number from 1.9.1 to 1.10.0.
The following changes are included with this update:
October 7th was the annual harvest moon. Where I was located, the atmosphere was very clear so I thought I would take out the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 and see what I could capture. This image has not been cropped and the P1100 was fully racked out at 3000mm. It was run through Topaz with noise reduction and minor sharpening.
Using his Nikon Z9, photographer Prasenjeet Yadav gets the October 2025 cover shot for National Geographic Magazine.
From Nat Geo: “Prasenjeet Yadav had one goal: capture the perfect image of a pseudo-melanistic tiger for his story on India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve. Easier said than done.” Well maybe easier said than done with another camera, but not if you have the Nikon Z9.
Here, you will find everything I could scrape together about this gem of a camera. I love my Nikon Z6II mirrorless camera. I hope this page serves as an inspiration as to what can be accomplished with the Z6II.
Nikon is no longer producing or selling the SB-500 Speedlight small flash unit. I have the flash and I use it for family events. It’s small and light and is powered by 2 double AA batteries.
