Front Porch Photography

My camera jumped off a table and crash-banged to the floor. (Okay, so maybe some clumsy old fool bumped it, but my lips are sealed!) I had to buy a new one and after research and comparisons decided to switch from a Fujifilm Xt4 back to my first love, Nikon.

The thing about today’s full-frame mirrorless cameras with all their new technology is that they are super complicated. I spent 10 days reading the manual, outlining and jotting down notes, and watching YouTube tutorials before I even put my finger on the shutter button. (I’m not a point-and-shoot guy but insist on full manual control.) Doing my homework before taking it for a test drive has paid off, and I’m lovin’ my new Nikon Z8.

How’s the quality? Glad you asked. Here are three birds all shot while sitting on my front porch.

It’s fun to dive back into bird photography after several years prioritizing video.
