Raphael, The tigers, flamingos and sunset look fine on my monitor. FWIW I use the Nikon software which I find is fast and easy. In doing the prep for panos it allows me to edit 6,8,10 or whatever number of shots to export to Elements. Keep up the good work.
If a polar bear asks ...... just walk away and let it do what it wants ..... providing it's not to eat you for its dinner
Of course you will have a camera to come back to if it is Nikon on Nikon ..... if it has a red band on it like some manufacturers, then maybe you will be picking up the pieces ......
After straying away from DSLRs into mirrorless world of various brands I am back to Nikon DSLR. A well used D810. Clicked some random pictures using 50 1.8G and 58 NOCT and put them in Ligthroom. The files are unbelievably clean and "rich". I am also surprised, that the lack of focus peaking has made little to no difference. Happy as a clam I am.
Welcome back Amol and hope you post some Noct with D810 pics here.

Just bought a nice used d810 too myself having sold my Z6. Focus peaking is no match for the green dot !
Z7 + FTZ + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 ai'd & CPU'd, ISO 64, f/11 at 1/320s. The famous bridge of the Battle of Arcole 15-17 November 1796, won by Napoleon over the Austrian army.
Too bad this is not the original bridge, sometime after this shot https://www.napoleon.org/en/magazine/places/arcole-2/
they rebuilt the bridge as Philippe has warned me.
The obelisk from 1810 to commemorate the Battle of Arcole:
Z7 + FTZ + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 ai'd & CPU'd, ISO 64-180, f/8 at 1/1000-1250s.
From left to right: East, South, West and North façades.
The monument is surprisingly well preserved after 210 years!
From top left, clockwiset: East, South, West and North façades.
The base is surprisingly well preserved after 210 years, even though there are some scratches from barbarians visible mostly in the West façade.
Side, back and front light, so the different colours.
I saw an interesting public interactive art installation. There have been multiple projects displayed in this location, but, nothing was nearly as successful as this one. 55/1.2 Vignette was enhanced in Camera Raw. Quite a bit of spherical aberration, adding a gauzy and dreamy soft focus, so I played with it a bit. FUN LENS !
Ahh the trusty green dot. I miss it. I do have a couple AF lenses that light up the green square in the Z6, but surely it must just be a software update to make it do that with manual lenses
F5.6-ish, the EXIF is wrong, but relative (it was set for a 35/2 AI and is showing f4, or 2 stops down from wide open), I forgot to switch back to the 105/2.5).
It's close to MFD and the 105 really shines there.
Wow Sar, simply fantastic portrait, congrats.
But your raptors are trained pets, unbelievable how close they allow you to photograph them!
Final set from Arcole, now from the museum (Museo Napoleonico di Arcole, Italy), all with my trip's trusty combo, Z7 + FTZ + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 ai'd & CPU'd:
ISO 3200, f/8 at 1/250s. 42% cropped (19/45MP). Litograph of the Battle of Arcole depicting a scene from the first day of the battle 15 November 1796: Napoleon leading a charge against the Austrians.
ISO 1400, f/16 at 1/250s. 35% cropped (16/45MP). 4 focus-stacked image. Diorama of the Battle of Arcole, November 1796. Museo Napoleonico di Arcole, Italia.
And the coat of arms of the city/village, not surprisingly, with the napoleonic obelisk (and a ridiculous and not intentional selfie)
