    Here, I shoot some street photography near the financial district in downtown Toronto. It was a rainy day, I knew that going I'm, but I decided to venture out anyway. I'm glad I did, because I think I walked away with some keeper images.
    It started to rain more and more as the day went on, which made it a problem as my camera (#NikonZ5) isn't weather sealed. What I did to avoid water damage was to hide underneath the construction barriers found on busy street corners, and then when walking around exposed, I hid my camera in my coat jacket. It worked out nicely.
    Sometimes you just want to go out and take some photos, despite the weather. Also knowing that the poor conditions can really help when telling a story with photographs, the umbrellas really became the theme of the day. I really like the shot of the colourful umbrella.
    I shot BTS using a DJI Cosmo action, I had it clipped to my backpack

    It's 2023, and I'm being tempted to go to the Z mount. My D500 and D7200 will never be sold. I have started with the Z50 since it came out in 2019, and now will get a Z5 as I move to the FF Z bodies; aiming to get either the Z9 or Z8 or whatever new body Nikon comes up with in the coming year. You have certainly shown how despite its under-rated status, the Z5 does produce quality photos. Of course combined with that skilled human being behind the viewfinder, buttons, and dials. Cheers!

      the green box highlights what's in focus. The Nikon Z5 is not particularly great for autofocus, but for street photography and subjects not moving too fast, it's great

    Adam. I am thinking of adding the Viltrox AF 24mm f1.8 Lens to my Nikon Z5 but I am reluctant to go third party. What is your experience with Viltrox? and would you recommend such a move!

    • @AdamKozak100
      @AdamKozak100  2 года назад

      I own the Viltrox 24mm for Nikon z. I like it, but its far from perfect. lots of fringing in the corners at 1.8. However, its useful, and relatively cheap. The aperture ring is like molasses trying to change it, maybe I got a sticky version. If you enjoy the 24mm focal length, I would go for it, just don't expect a perfect lens.

      @@AdamKozak100 Thank you! . Other reviews have said as much. I am kind of a "BMW" type guy although I don't own one right now and so I know I will never be happy with less than a Nikon Z lens. BTW I have forwarded two of your Toronto Street photography RUclips videos to a few friends who really are inspired with what you have done with the "mundane" P.S. I never shoot Portrait ( vertical) mode but I will do so now.

    • @AdamKozak100
      @AdamKozak100  2 года назад +2

      for weddings its great. I upgraded from the d750 and I'm really glad I did, but I also got my bodies on a big discount. Haven't had a chance to try out the 28-75mm form Nikon z, my favourite lens is the Viltrox 85mm and my adapted Sigma 35mm..I really din't think the Viltrox 24mm is very good at all.

  • @ruff1draft
    @ruff1draft 8 месяцев назад

    In my personal opinion when it comes to the future Nikon Z5 Mark 2. All Nikon needs to do is have a flip out screen and add unlimited recording time limit and 10 bit colour science and have both 4k and 6k internally and keep the two SD Card slots for the Nikon Z5 Mark 2 to compete with the Sony A74, Sony A7C Mark2, Panasonic S5 and Panasonic S5 Mark 2 and Canon R6 Mark 2.
