PLEASE POST ONLY ONE (1) PHOTO PER 24HRS* in this thread

As a courtesy we ask that you keep your photos to under 640 pixels on the longest side. If you post a photo that is much larger than 640 pixels then it may be deleted from the thread. You can have your smaller photo link to a larger version but the embedded photos must be less than 640 pixels. If you need help on how to post a photo see below and read through the Forum Rules & FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

Please do not offer criticism of other's images unless specifically requested by the individual posting the photo. Criticism may be best accomplished by posting comments on Flickr or the OP’s photo posting source.

Please read the forum rules regarding the posting of images not suitable for family viewing.

Instructions on posting from Flickr are to be found here:

@spraynpray When you say "do not offer criticism" am I correct in assuming you mean negative criticism? Is it ok to post positive comments if you like an image? Because I believe the word criticism technically applies to both negative and positive opinions (though in common use the word generally has a negative connotation which is why I believe you used it).

Runway incursion

@MrFotoFool - Correct.

Here on NR we used to have 'like' and 'don't like' buttons on the PAD thread for each image but people got fed up with the don't like button being used (which isn't too different to the like button not being used) so the function was disabled then lost later during forum software upgrades.

Critique can be positive or negative but in the guidance notes I refer to the word criticism being used in the negative sense when not asked for.

That's what I assumed; thanks for clarification.

First test firmware 3.0 nikon Z6.
AF is fast and in AF-C with H* very good for BIF.

Just a test for firmware 3.0, only cropped and small adjustments.
Two photos from a series of 22.
ISO 200 - 1/1500s - f/6.7 - 200mm
Nikon Z6 with FTZ - 70-200mm f/4 VR
Dynamic area AF, AF-C, H*

I post 2 example photo's on Flikr from a set of 22 shots in AF-C, H* RAW and JPG. In all the photos the bird was sharp. I never shoot like this.

Auto-Area AF tracking, AF-C for BIF doesn't work, I wouldn't use it for that.

Single-point AF, Dynamic-Area AF, Wide-area AF(S) with AF-C and H* mode work for me, more quickly and accurate then before. For all slow-moving objects, after firmware 3.0, the AF system works fine.

This rather ragged looking fellow reminded me of the proverbial dirty old man standing on the street corner in a dingy raincoat flashing passersby.
