Photography

Hi guys! I'm just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it's the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it's rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I'm considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn't mind some...vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).

Taken ~15 minutes after sunrise, across the Columbia River from Vantage, Washington, with a Pixel 8 Pro.

I took about 30 raw 30s exposures from my phone propped up on the roof, stacked them with deep sky stacker, and I'm impressed at the result.

Shot with a 18-55mm lens on a Fujifilm X-Pro 1.

Edited and converted RAW in camera, then slightly adjusted the Jpeg in Darkroom.

Some negative space and symmetry, on a square in the Netherlands. Feel free to critique.

I highly recommend listening to these two talking about photography and stuff in general. I'm not a big podcast person but there's something special about this one, IMO.

Got up at 5:45, rode my bicycle to the nearest forest, put up my hammock and got this shot =)

I am looking for a new backpack for every day carry where I always want my camera gear with me (a DSLR, a filter and a couple of extra lenses).

I am looking at the Ramverk Pro Backpack (26L) with their small camera insert.

I like:

• The simplicity
• The design
• The large main compartment
• Being able to simply add or remove all camera gear by adding or removing the camera insert

I don't like:

• No water bottle holder
• No quick access to camera
• To few images showcasing the insert in the bag

Do any of you have this setup? Do you like it?

Would you recommend something else?

Shot on a Pixel 8 Pro, telephoto lens.

Tahoma is more commonly known by the coloniser name of Mount Rainier.

Just a nice snapshot I made with a phone.

Just some amateur stuff taken on my phone

Canon R5 w/ 70-200mm f/2.8

I dont think it's focussed that well, but hey, what can you do.

Shot with:

Canon EOS 700D • idk 1/200? •Auto ISO • f/4 • 210mm + Full-Frame to APS-C crop factor

Taken on S22 Ultra.

Taken on iPhone 12, so nothing special, and not recent (as evident by the snow capped mountains). I still come back to this as my favorite picture. I have quite a few CA nature photos that I’ve had the privilege of taking, but this is my favorite.

She an idiot with nice contrast. We love her.

We went to the Korean east sea and had a hotel with a great ocean view so I got up at 4:45 am to photograph the sunrise.

Interestingly the photo looked amazing on the back of my camera but once I pulled in the raw file to Darktable it needed quite some work to get it to look like the JPEG on the back of the camera, but I got quite close.
