Now that the Nikon Z7 is out and part of the bigger picture, I’ve had a lot of people asking me if I would make a video comparing the Z7, the D850 and the D500 in terms of auto focus performance with what I like to do, wildlife photography and Bird in Flight. I went…
Early in 2018, I had the great pleasure of visiting Corkscrew Swamp an Audubon sanctuary in beautiful south Florida. Visiting Corkscrew is much like taking a time machine back in time.
