    Nice work with the Z8. A lot of Nikon users frown on the 28-75 lens comparing it to the 24-70z lens in terms of sharpness. However you just demonstrated to me how good it is as a portrait zoom. Thanks.

    Great stuff Manny! Love that you are showing what Nikon gear is capable of for others to see and that you explained how switching up the focus modes made a difference in that situation. The portraits were great, love your work!

    That Z8 and you Manny, match made in heaven. Beautiful images and not a razor sharp one among them, the feeling the images portrayed surpassed that.
  • @Philly2tall
    Seems like you're really enjoying that Z8. Can't wait for your review.
  • @szubal
    Reminds me of the Marylin Monroe shots on the beach :) Lovely work as always.
  • @MilmidStudios

  • @apstudios01
    Nice portraits Manny. You and a couple of other photographers have inspired me to do some work in the rain.

    I absolutely love my Z8 had three portrait shoots this weekend. I shot raw + jpg fine* and wow. Btw the jpg files especially the natural light ones, shot is standard profile vs say vivid etc and honestly I could have just sent my client those and unedited. My Z6ii will be my backup body for weddings or in situations I would rather not change a lens. The Z8 is so good. Now to maybe start learning about some easy video stuff :)

  • @Skipsul
    Lovely shoot. With the cold and rainy deserted beach I was reminded strongly of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
  • @silvere36
    this set of images have really strong retro vibes! Filmic and soft.
