Nice. I find starting out it is best to put the sweet spot in the center until you get use to it. If you put it all the way to the corner, it will not be the lenses sharpest image. Gradually move the sweet spot away from center and test the shapness.
I purchased some accessories to help with macro photography for me this Christmas. Example a chip soldering arm/holder and plate. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1ZZ9Y2V
All I wanted for Christmas was my two front teeth. I received only one present. Can you make a tooth out of a lump of coal?
Personally, I have ff and crop on both Nikon and Canon cameras. My opinion FF is not “better”. Under some conditions and genres of photography it has some advantages, but I don’t think it is worth the expense if you are on a budget… It really depends on what you are shooting. In your example, you are downgrading your camera. 750 has 1/4000 shutter speed. If you are shooting wide open it may not be fast enough. The D810 has 1 stop faster shutter speed and one stop lower ISO (ISO50 but yes you can overcome this issue with an ND filter). The D810 could use your DX 55-300 lens in crop mode at 15 mp. Anything above 12mp is good without cropping in editor in my opinion. The DX camera when shooting through your ff 105 macro, cuts out the poor performing edges off the lens leaving only the best quality center of the lens.
I would say stay with what you have, the images you have posted look great. When you save your pennies, buy a z7 used. They are 1000 dollars (used and new factory referb) now but as more new models appear that price used will drop. You will also need to buy an adapter for all you lenses to work less than 100 used. Wait for a camera that is a true upgrade. That is my opinion. Also, I seen a D810 for 500 dollars with lens on craiglist, it is gone now but I am sure you can find some good deals while you wait.
I am not great at figuring out how to limit distractions in nature. In this case and many you don’t have the luxury of walking around to different positions because they are gone. But this one worked out well. Thanks
Thanks, Yes, Especially when I think back on some outings where I got skunked. One picture made the trip worth it.
Thanks. I have not seen any collars or ear tags for any wildlife here but my eyesight is not that great and I don’t get close (long lens)
They are, they are monuments to copper laid to rest underground, long ago. LOL I like your images as well it has almost a blue quality to it.
Thanks Tersha, Yes it made the trip worthwhile. I hope to go again. Pretty soon the bald eagles will be coming and I want to get up there several times this year
I don’t think I have seen one until I went up into the mountains and looked for them. There are also those white mountain goats, have not seen them yet.
Thanks, wish I would have seen more. I did see 2 others up in the mountains but they moved out of sight before I could get in position to shoot them.
@loki Agreed. BUT, sometime cheap does not mean cheap junk. 2 Black friday’s ago BH photo video was blowing carbon fiber travel tripod Vanguard Velo 2 (new model was already being sold)for 59 bucks. I have had Vanguard before and it is good quality 5 year warr. it will support 9 lbs and is super light. Has worked great for me instead of carrying the monster aluminum tripod for my gimbal and stupertele lens.
