NIKON D700 + 20/2.8+ 1/80 @ f/22

After hearing the bad news about Nikon's camera business today, I was motivated to look at some old NEF files. Even tho I no longer shoot with a Nikon DSLR, I continue to shoot with Nikon LF lenses and I run an occasional roll of B&W film through my F3. Nikon was my first choice since the 70s, and they will remain legendary in my photographic heart.
Kind regards,
Darr

What "bad" news did you hear today darr? I've heard so many times on the internet that brand X or Y is going belly up while in actual fact most of them are still around today that I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Nice shot btw. I like the "depth" you've created with the composition and letterbox crop (or croporama as some people call it).

Hi Pieter,
Thank you for liking my image. I felt it needed the letterbox crop as the foreground although beautiful, (a hill with flowers), took too much away from the lighthouse.
The news I read about Nikon came from this article. My intention was not to pull an alarm (never want to contribute anything that may hurt future sales), just feeling the growing pains of my time in photography. Like many others, I have been a photographer for decades and have seen a few photographic manufacturers disappear (Polaroid) or diminish to a slow drizzle from their haydays. I do not think Nikon will get out of the camera business, but when Nikon publicly stated "Its Cameras Need to Justify Their Existence as a Business," that got my attention. Of course a business has to make a profit to survive, and I assumed Nikon did make a profit from their camera division. Change is inevitable, but I want to see Nikon camera not just survive, but thrive. I am being a bit sentimental and perhaps a little selfish since I am a Nikon fangirl. Forgive me.
Kind regards,
Darr
I think its a natural thing going on for Nikon, while heavily investing in the Z system, and spending a heavily amount of money, 3 new Z-cameras, a row of lenses to be developed, together with their other systems - to start with being too optimistic.
They don't have the marketshare like Canon, and therefore not the same sort of huge equity (hope its the right word). It will take time to get a solid and healthy position in the market with their new systems, I think.
I have almost always had a Nikon, but only in my "longer end of life", has learned to appreciate its splendid and effective way to handle much more, where previously I considered it as a sort of bit boring natural premise.
So it has become "my camera". So they have to survive. But I'm confident and optimistic, and I recommend the splendid Z to whom I can..

. But I'm confident and optimistic, and I recommend the splendid Z to whom I can..super splendid Peter!, the mood from more careless used cameras, where the mind has been set more free, and we help the camera to rule in its own, often unpredicted way, can often result in such dreaming "fotprints". Often I'm longing for that...Haven't shot with Nikon in years - but I used to enjoy using one as a walk around snap shooter - this one from a series I did with my new 'then' D200 + 15mm

Glad you like it Thorkil appreciate your comment ! Just use a slow shutter speed and snap away - movement is under rated in photography and one good thing about digital is we dont have to worry about the cost of each frame -super splendid Peter!, the mood from more careless used cameras, where the mind has been set more free, and we help the camera to rule in its own, often unpredicted way, can often result in such dreaming "fotprints".

, I have done it a lot of times..but life is often a sort epochs in a row, and somehow one often forget to jump around through previously behaviors and epochs. Don't know what it is, different moods in different times..I guess But I will get back to it, while it also feels liberating and often lead to a smiling "confrontation" with people..which can sort of jump into the heart..but sometime one has to be in the mood ("I don't give a damn"-like in the "positive-spreading" way), to go for it..
