ZANY!!! I love that word 😄🌟 And I love your inspiring sentence too thank you!

I've found that the camera that feels good in your hands, with a quality lens, can bring joy. I still take my first camera, a Yashica FX-2... out with the lenses I bought in the 70s and 80s. The images are just as good... and the feeling is intensely satisfying. I collect Nikon DSLR cameras to get the same feeling. Although I have a D800, D700, and Z5, I seem to get the most joy from my D7200 and D300. In social media and small size printing, there isn't a noticeable difference. Yet, the ease of shooting and processing makes a big difference. As with anything, it's what you value.

This first sentence made me smile! 🙏🌟🌟 Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for your videos, Claire! I am still surprised from time to time when I come across a great looking pic that I think I must have shot on the Z9 with a trinity lens, only to find out I shot it on a D300 or D800 with a wacky lens like my 40 year old 500mm Reflex. It really is about the moment and the camera in hand. I do feel the D3 and D3x give me some special results - and they are just wonderful in hand. But never underestimate a D300 in the right moment either.

Thank you for this, I have to agree! I think the mirrorless system would be more about the silence for me having seen the results of the old dslrs. It is great to see the old cameras still holding up against the new tech 😊🌟

Killah shot @ 02:14 !!! Trees and long shadow lines are kinda my thing, and this one is Gooooood ! 😊

Ahh thank you! I love that shot too! I love the cost frost against the warmth of the sun and that light was such a moment seeing that 😍🤩🥳

claire your D3 photography in the freezing mornings are epic and showed the very lively scenes. I bought another one now D3s to add in my collection that has only 7k shutter and it will be a little upgrade to my D3 with 62k shutter. your new video is superb as usual.👍

thanks Claire I am not into mirrorless cameras but old school typo. keeping few classic flagship for my use with huge vintage lens collection. ​@@clairesschoolofphotography1767

Buy and use whatever makes you happy. Cameras are tools and the creative process comes from the one using the tool. New mirrorless cameras only make the process easier with screens that tilt, massive frames per second, and better autofocus.

Thank you I completely agree with what you are saying! I made a video coming up soon a few days ago which echo your words 🙏⭐️ the camera is a vehicle for what longs to be expressed 🌟🌟

Hi Claire.... I can only comment on the pictures. I use a D3 and a couple of D700's and am totally happy with the results i achieve. Perhaps I'm old school but that's ok ! I wish you well 🙏

Poor mans Z9 love that!!!!! 😄

The old "everything happens for a reason" half truth is a red flag for me. The true bit is that we can definitely learn from the things that happen. The False bit is the rather nasty implication that people who are victims of accidents, diseases and worse as part of a "plan" to move towards something. It always strikes me as something people say without looking at how unfair it is to victims. I liked the pictures but not the vagueness of the talk. I only used the D3 for a few months and it was a great camera. Potential mage quality from the camera is not the issue it once was. It is still about how the photographer works with the camera and the lens.

Thank you for your thoughts. Everything happens for a reason is a saying that has brought me comfort at difficult times in my life. Not something I use to dismiss other peoples suffering. The word victim is thrown around a lot too... what is your idea of a victim?

It’s a red flag for me which I prefer to reword. It is true that we can learn from the things that happen. If you look at it from a counseling point of view then it is probably better to separate the two implications of the phrase. When a person has encountered a loss or devastating event sometimes it the idea that it may have been either part of a plan or something that was deserved is not helpful. So I prefer not to use the phrase.

​@@Gr1ff1D0 yes I can see why you prefer not to use the phrase. And I appreciate your thoughts

What are you doing?? This has nothing to do with photography and the title of the video. This is click bait!!! I have seen your videos about photoigraphy, and they are good. Please do not mislead us. YOU are better than that 🙂

Hello I have just watched it back....perhaps where the title said 'shocking results from experiment' didn't fit so I have taken it out of the title as I am not talking about it in the video. The photography speaks for itself so that is fine. My intention is not to mislead you or anyone. I admit sometimes I just want the video to be seen after spending hours editing it. So much work for so little return makes you do crazy things 🙄😆 Thanks for stopping by!
