EXPERT INSIGHT FTZ ADAPTER
Neil says... I enjoy using the Z system’s native lenses – Sally used the Z 24-70mm f/4 S
and Z 14-30mm f/4 S – but as an existing Nikon user, the FTZ Mount Adapter was a
must-have. The Z lens line-up is only going getting bigger, but in the meantime, I’m able to
use my F-mount lenses, like the AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR we used on this shoot.and a tighter crop was used. Finally, a
10-stop ND filter reduced the exposure to
20 seconds. Super Shot 3 was sorted.TURNING THE TIDE
The final subject was to be a groyne, near
Teignmouth’s Grand Pier. Sally used
everything she’d learned through the day
to frame the shot and input the necessary
settings – in this case ISO64 and f/10.
Neil noted the fast-moving seawater and
suggested that Sally use a slow enough
exposure to indicate a sense of movement,
but not so slow that it would blur the sea
into an undefined milky mist. He dropped a
six-stop ND filter into the filter holder and
Sally eventually settled on a shutter speed
of just 1.6 seconds.
Just like Super Shot 1, timing was key and
Sally released the shutter just before the
waves crashed against the sandy shores.
Neil confessed that this is almost ever yCamera: Nikon Z 7
