Walt Lafty and Nick Perri Performing at Brooklyn Bowl in Philadelphia PA on December 18th 2021.
This is the second show i've shot in two days with the Nikon Z9. The show the day before this had almost ZERO front like, which made things a lot more difficult.
Brooklyn Bowl in Philly on the other hand has an AMAZING lighting rig and people who know what they're doing to run it, which makes for better photos.
Now that i've gotten to shoot in terrible light and better light, how did the camera handle? The Auto Focus still is more jumpy then the Canon's and Sony's. What I mean by that is, it's easily distracted by other moving things in the frame. For example, it should stay locked on the face or eye of the guitar player and not be thrown off by the guitar itself.
With Sony and Canon it's much harder to get the systems to miss the eye or face when you have face and eye detect on. Those stay sticky unless you force it to focus somewhere else.
The colors are great, the files handle well at higher ISO, the cameras super responsive. The quickest of all the flagships when it comes to turning on and turning off. It's instant. Canon takes a little bit to turn off...aka power down...then power back up. And the same is true for the canon.
Banding is not an issue so far. Yes you may see some banding from the LED lights in a few images, but there's really nothing you can do about that regardless of the system. So, it's really a non issue for me so far.
The lenses are still where the system falls short for me. I still don't feel as if they are able to focus as quick as the Pro canon and Sony glass. The glass is nice, but the 1.8's are just much slower, in terms of focus speed then the Pro glass from the Sony and Canon.
Now before you say, but Jared, Canon doesn't have a line of 1.8's...yes, you would be correct. They have a line of 1.2's. 85 and 50. Speaking of the 50, Nikon's 50 1.2 is nice, but still not as fast focusing as it's counterparts.
I still have trouble knowing when i'm actually shooting photos. You could snap of 20 and not even know you were taking photos. Yes there's some modes like adding a black frame after you take a shot, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the "blackout free" viewfinder.
All and all, so far so good, I am enjoying shooting the system. I wish the glass was faster, I wish the focus was stickier, but again, this camera is a million times better then any of the prior Nikon mirrorless options.
I will continue to use this camera in the Real World and share my thoughts along the way.

Partially done handle with only tool used to make it.
For my new two-handed file, I decided to make wooden handles. Since finger positioning is important to maintain constant angle and pressure, rounded handles are not the best choice. I know, that traditional Japanese kitchen knives with octagonal cross-section handles are quite easy to control because it has flats. But eight facets is too much, because positioning is different from one for kitchen knife. So, my choice was hexagonal shape. To make it more comfortable, I made it slightly tapered in vertical axis.
Material: thick dead maple branch, naturally dried.
Tools: straight cutting edge knife (kiridashi).
Technique: shaping with knife, then - slight burnishing with another piece of maple wood. No flattening with plane, no scraping with knife.

I take this robin image in a short hiking trip near my living place.
I consider myself lucky because it's not necessary for me to take the car to find such small beautiful places with wild animals and play with photography.
Happy to avoid fuel burning pollution just sometimes and for all the day long!
Even if each one of us give a small contribution for the environment preservation the global result shall be huge.

To 50/1.1 is pending customs inspection for 3 days now. I was hoping to bypass import duties, but it looks like I'm in for...
But, now for some good news, just bought a mint 35/1.2 and it's here in front of me, waiting to get manhandled ;) Now if I could only find a nice and cheap R2A...

In the handle of the Big Dipper you have the stars Alkaid, Mizar & Alcor, and Alioth. The scoop of the Big Dipper is just out of frame towards the top left. These labeled stars are between 78 - 104 light years (ly) away and they reside in our galaxy, the Milky Way. There are a few other amazing galaxies in this constellation as well. The Whirlpool Galaxy at about 23,000,000 ly, and the Pinwheel Galaxy at about 21,000,000 ly are shown here. I haven't shot the Sunflower Galaxy yet, but it is also hiding in the top-right corner at about 29,300,000 ly. Each of the 3 photos that make up this composite image are a stack of dozens of shots taken one after another (using a tracking mount).
Widefield: 40 x 1 minute exposures at f/2.4, ISO 100, 50mm. Taken 3/14/2020.
Pinwheel: 53 x 30 second exposures at f/5.6, ISO 5000, 300mm. Taken 10/09/2017.
Whirlpool: 65 x 50 sec. exposures at f/8, ISO 640, 300mm. Taken 3/22/2020.
Same handle, just different POV, was a hard decision from the 2, maybe this would had been a better choice, who knows :)
anyway, I like this enough to share this one too.
