nikon z6ii

I am unfortunately selling my Nikon Z6II kit as I no longer do photography. The camera was purchased brand new from B&H Photo in 2021. It has very little wear, still looks new to me and has so much life left in it where it deserves to be used rather than sitting around. It's an amazing camera...

I saw my cat sitting besides the grass I grow him and I thought of this photo, had to take it. Nikon Z6II + 24-70 f/4 Kitty in the Jungle by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I haven't been shooting much as of late. I did dust off the camera and go outside today without any intentions, was just messing around with some settings and I actually liked how this one came out. It has a moody filmic feel that I enjoy.

Everytime I walk past this tree, he comes out and sits on this cut off branch. Its funny, so I had to go back inside and grab the only telephoto lens I had and took a picture of him...I got as close as I could physically without disturbing him. Nikon Z6II + Nikkor MC 105mm f/2.8 Watching by...

I've always wanted one of these pancake lenses, they are super small and when I got this lens in mint condition that came with my Nikon N2000, I had to get an adapter to mount it on my Nikon Z6II and go shoot with it a little. I am very impressed with this lens for what it is, it resolves...

I was just about to go to bed and I checked on my Instagram and somebody made story about the northern lights, I had no idea. So I went outside and checked the sky and my jaw dropped. I was STUNNED. I quickly ran back inside, grabbed the tripod, my camera and my 24-70..even my phone! I never...

These little tiny purple flowers pop up every spring, when I see them I typically know warm weather is right around the corner. Not this week however since we are getting ANOTHER 2 feet of snow. But I managed to get out and take some photos of these little cute flowers before the snowstorm. Why...

I haven't done a proper self portrait where I actually put some effort into it. It's been a rough part of my photographic journey where I am having a difficult time finding the inspiration and motivation. Anyways the other day I thought of a cool idea for a self portrait that I haven't done by...

I saw my cat, Luke sitting in the sunlight for a whole 60 seconds for me to take these pictures and thought it would be a good idea to do some natural low key lighting.

Just messing around with this cheap mirror having an attempt at being "creative". Haha. Nikon Z6II + Z 50/1.8 S

A photo that I been sitting on since October. I kept going back to this but couldn't figure out how I wanted to process the photo and today I finally came up with this and I'm actually pretty happy with it. Nikon Z6II + Z 24-70/F4 S A road less traveled by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

Well this photo may not be my strongest because its unconventional composition. I tried something different and perhaps this is just too "instagrammy" type of film inspired photo. I don't know. The reason I shot it this was because the light was in the worst spot, there was so many distractions...

Yesterday it looked like winter wonderland here. Very heavy wet snow fell which caused lot of outages. My power was out from 3am until about 9am. It was a crazy and stressful day but I managed to get out to take some photos. I know it's nothing special but I liked the way this leave was wedged...

Woke up to about 4 inches of heavy wet snow...power went out at 3:33am (perfect timing) and didn't come back on until almost 10am. But managed to get out to take photos, didn't get anything I liked that much but I liked the colors in this. Nikon Z6II + Z 50mm 1.8 S

I been trying to collect some interesting cameras for fun, I don't have much intentions on using them unless they use film that's still being produced today. My goal is to find interesting cameras only while thrifting or yard sales/flea markets rather than just finding them online. It's gives me...

Figured I'll share a few of them here :) I was able to get out and do some nice walking this week on the backroads where I live and managed to capture some photos that I'm pretty happy with. I’ll Sit Here and Watch the Leaves Fall by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr Sugar House by Nicholas Erwin...

It's been a busy last couple of months so I haven't spent much time here on the forums. Anyways I picked up this Yashica FX-2 at a flea market (more like a yard sale than anything) for $12 that I couldn't pass up. Came with a couple lenses too. The camera was in very rough shape but as you can...

I was chilling out on the couch and started hearing all the crows going crazy. I looked out the window and there was a fox just outside the door! Quickly grabbed my camera, the longest lens I got is my 105mm macro. But I made it work.

I haven't touched my camera in weeks, I just haven't been inspired or motivated to take any pictures but since my grandmother turned 80 years old this past weekend, I decided to brush off my camera and try to document this excellent milestone. She may be 80 years old, but still goofy as ever or...

Okay well its not "bizzare" but not one frequently seen around here. This is due to forest fires from Canada making the sun visible with the naked eye. I live in a small country town as you can tell and it was funny to see people come out of their homes to photograph the sun going down. Someone...

I've had this lens now since last summer and I'll be honest it was kind of an impulse buy. Nikon frequently runs good sales on the Z lenses and this one was $150 off at the time so I snagged one up. I've always wanted to try this lens because I heard many mixed reviews about this time and I...

It's that time of the year here in Vermont. Decided to use my hardly used 35mm 1.8 lens lol. Nikon Z6II + 35mm 1.8 S Young Couple of Fiddleheads by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I was doing some lens testing betweens these too, nothing crazy but I was surprised how little difference there was. I'm a big fan of focusing up close with just about any lens because I feel like that's where the biggest differences are. I'm also trying to decide between them as I really don't...

I made a mistake. Please delete.

Yep the dandelions are popping up now. I saw a bumble bee today which I don't normally see in April here. But I saw this bug collecting some pollen on this dandelion, I assume it's some kind of bee. I got nice and close as I could with the macro. I'm pretty happy with it overall. It was cloudy...

I know this isn't the best photo I've taken and I'm not looking for a serious critique because its overall, a snapshot. I was about the head out the door for something and I really liked the way my cat, Luke, was laying in front of the door with his paws out front and the expression he had. So...

Nothing like some rain drops on flowers that are almost ready to bloom! Nikon Z6II + MC 105 2.8 VR S

Something about raindrops on fresh grass blades. Its beautiful. Nikon Z6II + MC 105 2.8 VR S spring raindrops by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I took these two photos a month apart. Thought it was kinda cool to see the difference one month make from March to April. Nikon Z6II + MC 105 2.8 VR S

Found these while walking around my property, it was raining pretty good but figured Nikon cameras are pretty well sealed so took the chance. Nikon Z6II + Z MC 105 2.8 VR S

I was out walking around with the macro lens and this leaf stood out to me like a sore thumb and so it peaked my interest to photograph it. Nikon Z6II + MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S

I liked the way he was laying on the bed, looked comfortable. If you think about it, cats have a pretty good life. Always fed, fresh water, endless toys, treats and scratching posts, litter box gets cleaned out. We really are slaves to them 🙃 Nikon Z6II + Z 50mm f/1.8 S

I know it's not a good photo but I thought it was interesting to see the root system of this tree that's been exposed due to years of washouts from storms. Nikon Z6II + Z 50mm f1.8 S expose your roots by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I been pretty discouraged with my photography lately but I was messing around with the macro lens and I made this image which honest I am pretty happy with for once. Nikon Z6II + MC 105mm 2.8 VR S summer vibes by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

Yep, it's just a rusty ol' bolt. But the way the sun was at the time it stuck out to me so I took a picture. Macro photography is something I've always struggled with, I like challenge it has but I'll be honest I take a lot of crap macro shots lol. I just don't have the vision for it but it...

So I have the Nikon Z6II and a few lenses, the 24-70 f/4 S, 35 1.8 S, 50 1.8 S and the MC 105mm 2.8 VR S which are all amazing lenses. I have really no issues with them...well besides the 35mm but that's for another a different discussion. The problem I have is that while the camera is and...

It's been months since I've done much of any photography. According to Lightroom I've taken less than 100 photos in the last 6 months and most of them are random photos/test shots just to keep the battery good. It's finally spring here in Vermont and Crocuses are popping up. I know this isn't...
