Even though Barbara has been struggling a bit with settings on her new camera. She always manages to share photos that drive our discussions. Learning how to us a new camera brand is an issue for many of us. Different terminology, menus, button placement can take a while to get used to. But that hasn’t stopped her from taking her new Nikon ZF on her walks and continuing to make photos.
Barbara shared photos for her street photography portfolio. She uses her Nikon Zf’s black&white mode to improve the visualization of photos in black&white. A handy & useful feature of this camera.
Barbara continues her black&white and color street photography porfolio using her Nikon Zf and OM Systems cameras. A collection of various images around San Diego including the Rock-n-Roll Marathon.
Barbara’s portfolio for May-July 2026 are of her street photography favorites. Since purchasing a Nikon Zf with the 40mm & 50mm primes, she’s focused on exploring street-style photos. Using the Nikon’s built-in b&w live view, she’s been shooting more images in black&white.
May Images
Barbara had some great Cloud images taken with her Nikon Zf. Unfortunately, I did not track them down until after the meeting – sorry Barbara. The b&w bench photo is a favorite with some amazing clouds. She also had a beautifully bokehed blue flower image and a sun-star tree photo.
Barbara continues to explore street photography with her new full-frame Nikon Zf. She also loves photographing birds so, of course, there are some great bird photos. Using her tried-n-true Olympus/OM System gear, she caught some wonderful insect-flower images.
Barbara continues to practice with her new Nikon Zf with 40mm f2 lens. Coming from micro-four thirds Olympus/OM Systems and a variety of lenses, the larger Nikon full frame camera is quite a change. Barbara hope the full frame dynamic range and sharpness is worth carrying the extra bulk. She shared a group of images from a vintage car gathering at Liberty Station, and a colorful hummingbird photo.
Barbara went to Ocean Beach during Dec 5th’s King Tide and the small surf was perfect for surfers shots but not dramatic high-tide waves crashing. She makes great use of her OM System camera and lens for sports, birds, insects and wildlife. But tempted by the Black Friday sales and the group’s persistent full-frame gear-talk. She was inspired to buy a new full-frame Nikon Zf camera with 40mm lens. We look forward to seeing images from her new camera soon.
Barbara shared two photos at November’s Zoom meeting. A moonrise over the San Diego skyline photo from our Shelter Island Oct full moon meetup. She does not do much post-processing so this image is a single exposure from her Om Systems OM1 Mrk II with 40-150mm lens. Her second photo was taken on a San Diego River Trail outing, same camera but wide-angle 12mm (24mm full-frame equivalent) lens – wonderful afternoon side-light.
Barbara is recovering from an injured arm/shoulder so she hasn’t had much opportunity to get out with her camera. She was able to photograph some beautiful flowers in her backyard and share a ‘street-type” image of some young people reveling on a date.
