Nice image!

I just want to make sure you understand the difference between capturing in Adobe RGB and posting in it -- so ignore this if it's moot for you ;)

Capturing (and editing) in a larger colorspace is generally beneficial as you have more data to push around as you edit. However posting in one is not always a good thing... Older computers and/or browsers and/or hosting domains may not accommodate a colorspace other than web standard sRGB, and so the colors of an image in any larger space get distorted as the browser "trims" all colors outside the sRGB space for viewing. This can lead to an image looking flatter and less saturated than it does when you're viewing it on your own color-managed system. So generally speaking, it's still best practice to convert an image to sRGB before posting it.

Thank you Jack.

Until recently I posted only sRGB photos. I am doing some experiments using Nikon’s version of Adobe RGB and checking the results on different systems (older Mac Book Pro, newer Mac Book Pro with DCI screen, last gen iMac, Mac Mini with LG screen, iPad Pro and Windows 10 PC with office display). I also tested DCI P3 photos a while ago, and HEIF/HEIC photos more recently, although the last ones not online because browsers do not yet support the format.

I will return to sRGB very soon for online photos.

Thanks Jorgen :D

For those of you that can recall...
A few days ago, I was listening to a song by the group ' The Doors '; ' Light my fire ". Spurred me into a ' nothing special ' action.

The result...


Z6, 24-70/4S

p.s suddenly reminded myself to listen to Stevie Wonder.

this afternoon, with the new Z7-firmware 3.0 AF is quick, and certainly improved, but still got some backfocus issues I have to sort out (why it was spot on at the start of its life, I can't figure out, and backfocusing now I don't get)

You should try the new animal eye focus for these -- I think you'll be VERY happy (hint hint)!

thank you Jack :), yes off course, forgot to think about it, that I have to try out! and if only I could find my focus pyramide too, and get it on "deer distance"...perhaps I should start with the +10 John Brew recommended

Ps. but its only for cats and dogs...:shocked:..:ROTFL:

PPS the focus pyramid ain't that good, perhaps better place some 10 matchboxes with an inch between, but nevertheless I've come to a result adjusting the 70-200/4G til -5, for the time being..
