Charles... The shot of Alex on the swing on page 126 is one of your very best, a near perfect photo in every way!
Don... I love the winding road shot on pg. 126. Simply outstanding! Was this taken somewhere in Door County? Years back when I was in Sister Bay, I tried to locate this road but couldn't find it.
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the compliment on my winding road shot
Yes, it was taken up in Door County, WI. The road is north of Sister Bay. Just stay on Hwy 42, go past Ellison Bay, all the way up to the tip of the peninsula to Gills Rock and just past where you would take the car ferry over to Washington Island. It's a beautiful scenic drive. I was hoping the colors would be peak, but we had rain and 50+mph sustained winds two days prior to my trip up there and a lot of the leaves had fallen. I still enjoyed the trip, none the less.
Thanks again for your comment.
Best Wishes,
Don

Got a new toy. Originally was looking to replace D700. I gave up the idea. D700 stays. I accept this is just curiosity won over rational. It would have been D750 otherwise, but I got Z6. Hope to like it. It will be a while till I figure out RAW conversion as I use standalone version of LR. Shot JPG. Standard jpg is a bit cooked 
will try neutral.

Spain ! That will be a major move. From one beautiful place to another. Sounds great. I am very envious of your 'SPRING" shots though

I was pretty much set to get D750 to replace D700. When I thought about my MF lenses. I came up with my poor, expensive justification to get a Z6. These shots do not justify that, but I do like he weight of Z6 + ZF.3 35/1.4 is pretty reasonable. This lens is impossible to focus with D700. D810 was better. D850 would have been great, but Z6 does pretty good and forgiving lower MPs. Shooting JPGs is no fun, so I need to think about conversion. Probably start with Adobe converter to dng. Does anyone know if you lose anything by converting to DNG beside time and storage space ?

Adobe DNG Converter. Shoot Raw, run chosen raw files through this, then you can edit the DNG's in LR or PS standalones. Extra step but cheaper And no, you don't lose anything.

Z6 is so great fo MF lenses and pairs nicely with Zeiss classic lenses. I';m considering buying a MILC for my ZE lenses specifically. I can't decide which to prefer keeping in mind there are EF electronic aperture control (and autofocus) converters to Sony E and Nikon Z mounts. Time will tell - I'm holding off till April.
