Shot one night witih the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S in the White Mountains of Inyo National Forest.
The road being closed, it was the only night I could muster the strength to mountain bike the 5 to this point. I rode back at night, which was pretty nice.
Below, some focus stacks from the Nikon Z8. I was/am very happy with the Nikon Z8 “focus shift” feature. While it often takes extra frames past INF focus, you never lose-out on infinity focus. Best implementation on the market.
