Sometimes it’s just the timing. Last year my sister and I were walking along the path in the local Conservation Area. The skies were black. Then suddenly a beam of sunlight hit the willow trees turning them a rich golden colour and letting me catch it on my new camera. 😉

Yes, the vision is more important than the camera, but there’s something to be said about new technology. A photographer always wants lighter, newer, more pixels….. I did upgrade to the Nikon Z7II. The learning curve is much greater than I had anticipated. The menu has the same look and feel, but there are differences. A touch screen on the back viewing panel over rides menu choices. So something as simple as how I want to save the files needs to be done with the I button. The number of pixels is twice what I had on the D750. Now file size is also twice as much, so I have to be even more careful with file storage.
So, to make things even more complicated, I bought a new Laptop. Faster, bigger, better….
But I need to download my photography software and learn Windows 11.
2024 has been the year of upgrades and learning for Porte Photos.
I may have retired from my career job, but I will continue to plod on with my passions……
