More beach and landscapes from Hilton Head Island. This series is the first deep dive into my new Nikon z7ii and Nikkor Z 28 – 70mm f2.8 lens. Thus far I have been impressed by the extended dynamic range, low noise and detail as compared to my D720. With the extra resolution, I’m retraining myself to not crop in as close. Not only does it provide more composition opportunities in post, but this also allows squeezing out a little more depth of field when desired.


If you’re viewing on a monitor, you can really appreciate the output of the Z7ii by clicking on an image to see a high resolution version. Thank you for taking time to visit, and please stay safe. The end of the pandemic is in sight!
Cheers,

Very impressive results with your new camera. The first B & W shot is stunning. Looks almost like a dream or mirage on a hot day.

Another nice set Sam! I think you could do a very nice show with your beach images. They call out to be printed, framed and seen. My favorites are the first 2 with that misty humid feeling.
