A very short blog from me today as my time is being taken up preparing for tomorrow’s little work excursion to Birmingham (all will be revealed later) which involves quite a bit of reading. Here’s why. This new bit of kit arrived earlier this afternoon and I’ve very little time to familiarise myself with it before it’s pressed into action tomorrow.

The mirrorless Nikon Z9. It’s a bit of a beast.

Whilst it doesn’t look too dissimilar to the SLR Nikons I’ve been using for decades there’s substantial differences in how it operates and where the controls are. Now I have to unlearn years of experience with the D3-5 family where everything had become instinctive and relearn this new system so it becomes just as instinctive to use as the old cameras. This may take some time!

Expect a rolling blog tomorrow as I begin my travels at silly o’clock. There’s a gale blowing outside again tonight but I’m hoping it’s not going to cause me any travel issues tomorrow. We shall see…

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
