The D500: no U1 and U2 instant recall ...no built in flash (comes in handy when in a hurry). Forgot to mention those important features. The D7500 does have that.

Great video. Very helpful. Will definitely try this with the Standard Micronic Ruby SR G430 7 Transistor radio which I ordered online once it arrived. Thanking you from here in the Philippines!

It's really really interesting everyone getting angry at Adobe. No one gets angry at the gun store for the guns that get sold to Americans that kill people. I don't see thousands of people protesting against the gun store or the gun manufacturer. When people get killed by guns yet people get upset about software oh my gosh get a grip.

Why haven’t you mentioned CaptureOne

DXO Photo Lab and On1 Photo Raw are worth considering too.

Free is always a good price! Lots of power in these editing tool...but still miles over my head! LOL Make sure to have yourselves an awesome week ahead!

Good round up of various software, I have used Darktable which does take a lot to get to grips with but it is good. The video Robert was very informative and if you want to save money it is another way to go. 🐕👍👌🙏

I have never been willing to pay what Adobe were asking for Photoshop and made do with Elements instead. (A familiarity option you failed to mention.) The original price was mad and when they went over to subscription, so you never even got anything for your money, they would have had to threaten me with a gun to get my dosh. About five years ago I took the plunge and bought Affinity 1 then migrated to version 2 when it arrived. It does everything I want it to, but I don't tend to work with loads of layers etc, simply because I am to lazy to learn the techniques, and I settle for a few tweaks. I am very pleased with my puchase, as long as things don't change, because of its recent takeover. I prefer to just capture the moment and if the scene is not right, for any reason, I don't take the picture. I have the naive notion to feel that heavy editing is cheating somehow. If I wanted to create something from the shot, I would just do a painting. I still think that is is best to expose correctly, perhaps use filters and sometimes even a tilt shift lens, so heavy editing is not required at all.

It’s not everyday Apple gives us something for free. I have to say I did not know about this feature on Macs.

11:40 HSV Equalizer in RT is what you want there. It's more powerful than the sliders because you can have as many hue control points as you want. Sliders can be more convenient/ergonomic though for quick adjustments.

I have a handfull of dx lenses on my D500 such as the 17-55mm f2.8. But most lenses I use on my D500 are FX lenses. Esspecially in the wide angle department most dx lenses are not great. Lots of problems with image quality, AF accuracy, lack of corner sharpness etc.. My longer lenses like 70-200mm, 300mm primes and the 200-500mm work flawless on the D500.

After watching a ton of "Best lens for a Nikon " I purchased a 17-55mm 2.8 and WOW what a fine lens it is !😁 and only $327. from Japan in two days... no Duty.

Cool - enjoyed that. And it is indeed the truth! "f8 and be there.." attributed to renowned NYC noir-news photographer Weegee when asked about his 'technique'.

Glad you have got the van on the road and looks like its going to be a great asset for you, Some really nice images great colour in that sky, and as you said you have to be there . Hope your well take care mate !

With all my respect to Robert, yet the best lenses for my D500 are ones of 'golden trinity' , especially 70-200 reaching real 300 mm focus and wonderful 24-70. Those lenses are the best ones in respect of both autofocusing and picture quality. DX camera is using the best central part of FX lense, and this provides the best picture possible.

I am not sure about matrix, but as for processor and the rest it's definitely not exactly as same as one in D7500. What to say about D500's auto focus - it's just magic, it's easy to believe that D500 is just smaller clone of top camera D5. Another surprising thing about D500 is that it's JPEG files are almost as flexible when working in Lightroom as NEF files, I can't see there a big difference. Finally, the best pictures I have with D500 are made when using top Nikkor FX lenses, i.e. 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8.

Indeed, take get those lovely shots sitting on the sofa throwing treats to Otis!! lol My Otis I mean!! LOL Look at those beautiful skies!! Pretty awesome!!

Velvia is a slide film from Fuji that produces heavily saturated images. It was a favourite of landscape photographers.

Some cracking light Robert - you just had to be there cliche or not ! Great drone footage too and good to see the van ! Will you be in it on the east coast meet ?

That sky was amazing. Ya got some good drone images too. Looking forward to the old van tour video.

Great video Robert, beautiful captures of the sunset really nice using the tower. Nice to see the 24-200mm lens in operation. 🐕👍👌👏

7:48 is beautiful, Maybe a long exposure should have been more better ?

1. I reckon there are so many folks with serious UI skills that could have a ball making this interface more inviting. Look at blender. If they can so can darktable. 2. I really wish you could work straight off a directory without importing. It makes working on multiple PCs a pain. This is one of the reasons I left LR many years ago.

Thanks for your input. My mind is set on the z30. i need it for portraiture and for general photography.

You could use gimp though gimp doesn’t handle raw images with darktable installed if you open a raw image in gimp it will automatically transfer it to darktable then just click DT off and carry on in gimp

What I love about the masking aspect is if you mask the shadows on say a sunset and you have several scenes it doesn’t matter if they are horizontal or portrait or even if you’ve changed viewpoint it will just affect the shadows in each scene without adding or subtracting

so far, the interface just makes me angry and I walk away from it. How can someone desig such an unintuitive and cluttered interface?

I would imagine you've learned quite a bit more about Darktable since making this video but I'm surprised you didn't notice how the histogram is shifted way to the left leaving the image very dark. Maybe that's the look you were after?

I can vouch for the Tokina 11-16. I bought it many years ago when I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D5100. Part of the decision to go for the Tokina was that it will cover a full frame sensor at 16mm and I was sure that I would eventually go that way. If anyone is considering this lens, the mark 1 requires a screw drive in your body. The mark two has its own focus motor and improved coatings. I went for the mark 2. Manual focussing wouldn't be a problem 95% of the time, but the f2.8 did make it a useful lens indoors where autofocus was handy. I did go full frame eventually and it did indeed provide me with a 15,5mm-16mm f2,8 zoom 'prime'!

Nice video, Robert. You got some great images. ISO 8000, I can only dream of such capabilities and not ending up with something that looks like a George Seurat painting.😂

Lovely❤️ i'm thinking about getting this little camera for nature photography 🙈

Hi there! Have you manage to use your tokina with z7 using “focus shifting”?? Mine doesn’t work.

Thanks for the Hack. I've just bought an Ebay new in box Hi-matic E and an Ebay Ricoh Elnica 35. Your tip has brought them both to life. Next step. Buy two rolls of film this weekend and give them a go. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Would you please do a review of Canon's DPP4? It would be greatly appreciated!!

So what is the guy filming you shooting with?

I am sorry i did not understand you how does this lens work with nikon z mirrorrless bodies with the adapter...can we use autofocus and manual focus or there are limitations could you please clarify.

Shift with the mask tool is crazy i never knew that

Does the standard lens got a good zoom,i mean i dont wanna pay for another lens. Maybe a bridge camera will be better ,Canon powershot sx70 ,what do you think ? 😮

Great video Robert, that was a difficult one to shot, you got some cracking captures really enjoyed that. Did you go deaf for two or three days? 👍👌👏🐕

Hello Where did you just get that raw file from at the bottom of the page? That looked so easy compared to what I have had to do? Okay, I just watched more of your video and this is amazing!! Thank you for educating me about Camera Raw.

Strangely mostly drone images instead of photography

Great edit walkthrough. I would say you helped a lot of the followers on this one.

My favourite lens alongside my 85mm F1.8. BTW love the dog cam !.

If you have a decent graphics card that supports OpenCL turning it on in the processing settings will make operations quite a bit faster :)

Great vid thanks! Subbed.

Love what you did with dehaze and white in the mask around the sun. Something I’ve always struggled with.

Whilst "what you like v what you don't like" is a good point Robert , as you sort of eluded to, perform your edits to how you remember the scene. The dehaze, texture and clarity worked really well in emphasising the godrays as well as the brush tool (That's new to me how you did that so I've learnt something!) Agree that masks too are an excellent way to edit. Shame about the blank film and hope you manage to fix the camera! All the best mate.

The 24-70 does seem to have better colors and contrast.

Teleconverter work with dx body? Can u share the one u use?
