LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY with the Nikon Z 30?

So I decided I needed a better camera to record my videos in the studio and I had been eyeballing the Nikon Z-30 for awhile. Then I realized something, I'm getting older and carrying heavy gear when I am hiking isn't any fun. I thought why can't I shoot the Z-30 in vertical and stitch the images making the equivalent of a 50 megapixel camera? So that is what I decided to do! Check out my results!
Happy Trails!

Hi Thomas, I enjoyed the video. Thank you so much. I just purchased my Z30 camera with 16 - 50 and 50 -250 kit set. These lenses have build in VR that makes them really easy to use and VR is very effective. I sold my D810 and Z7ii and purchased Z8 this year. I am supper happy with decision. This new Z30 will be my travel camera. I like the idea of stitching multiple images. This summer, I will be traveling to Turkey. There are so many archeological landscape sites. I will practice the stitching multiple images just like you suggested. Thank you for your creative ideas. Happy Travels.

Hey thanks so much for watching! Check out my Angels Landing video, I carried the z-30 and got some great images. The panoramic I took from the top was hand held using the level to keep it straight and it turned out amazing!

The Z30 is an epic little camera, I’ve been shooting with my z6ii for about a year now and I love it but it’s dedicated to my 200-500 landscape/wildlife photography and I’ve put my 35mm s on the z30 and it’s my take everyday everywhere camera at work on road trips or exploring abandoned places it’s become my favourite tool

Hey thanks so much! I used the Z30 while photographing wild horses in my last episode with my 150-600 Tamron lens and it worked great!

The word you were looking for is foray. I just bought the z30 3 days back with the 16-50 kit lens. Your video was helpful in providing good tips. Thank you.

Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Just 1 note: as the sensor gets smaller, the fraction kicks in sooner. You should never really go beyond f8 to f11 on an APS-C sensor. Hope that helps! I bought a Z30 for fun and use the Z8 professionally.

great little camera. Saving weight is always a good thing. Thanks for zooming in on the image to show how sharp it is. I think you last shot with the train tacks would be an awesome shot with some train engines running through.

[@tomaswmitchellphotography]

Yes trains would make the shot perfect!

Foray... cute camera 📸 for a cute guy! 🥰😍

[@abbelgustavo3691]

excellent, a question... what is the main camera you used in this video?

[@tomaswmitchellphotography]

Thanks for watching! My main camera for these video is the DJI pocket 2 with the wireless microphone.

I got the Nikon Z30 but I'm a little worried about the EVF missing. I can still return it and buy an Sony A6400 which has an EVF for ~200 EURO more. What do you think, should I keep it or switch to the Sony with the EVF ? I mention this is for a beginner with absolutely no experience (it is the first camera).

[@tomaswmitchellphotography]

The Z-30 really is a vlogging camera BUT you can do a lot with it. It has been an adjustment for me not having the EVF so I found this cool item. www.amazon.com/Hoodman-H32MB-HoodLoupe-Outdoor-Screens/dp/B074N4Z4J1 this works really good when I’m shooting with a tripod. I would keep the Z-30 and try it for a while. I’ve been doing photography for a long time and have lost track of how many cameras I have had. In 5 years or less you’ll be wanting another camera so you can learn everything about this one you can then move on.😁

I like the Z30 so far except for the missing EVF, muscle memory I keep bringing it up to my eye! 😂

[@tomaswmitchellphotography]

😅 It happens to me!
