Most people probably know that the Artemis II crew mainly used the Nikon D5. Of course, part of that comes from Nikon’s long partnership with NASA and the D5 already having proven spaceflight heritage.

But if we ignore those factors for a moment, do you think modern cameras in general could perform just as well in space now? Or do you think there’s still something special about Nikon’s durability and engineering philosophy as a camera focused company, things like vibration resistance, reliability, toughness, and overall robustness, that makes cameras like the D5 particularly suited for extreme environments like space?

Genuinely curious what people think.

Hi all, recently picked up this little camera from a yard sale for $10. I’ve been shooting on point to shoots and mirrorless cameras for a while but not sure of what this could be. Goes away when out of dark/super light environments and is visible on photos, which makes me believe it’s not the LCD screen.

I’ll still keep shooting with it regardless of the diagnosis, since I’ve never owned a Nikon before and I love the look of the photos they yield. I’m just curious what this could be + a potential fix for it- I’d assume this happens to other cameras too I’ve just never encountered it haha

update: did some more digging after making this post and I’m pretty sure it’s a sensor issue but not too hardware adept so I’m going to ask a friend to work on it a bit I think. I’ll probably throw some money at this since I think old hardware like this should be salvaged if possible even if it doesn’t really make sense economically.

A few years back, I inherited a nikon 60mm this was one of my first macro shots. bees make me think of astronauts, exploring strange new worlds, after taking this.

Hey everybody, I know it's been awhile but I thought I'd post a quick update for those who've been following the development and testing of my app! Many many thanks to the community, who without,none of this would be possible!

I took this shot of a merging supercell system creating maximum chaos in the sky for a few brief moments before it closed in on me. Shot handheld, 14mm, f/40, 1/40s, ISO 64. All photos taken by me, Adam Jackson, a Houston, Texas based storm chaser and photographer.

Shot on Nikon D850 / Nikkor 85mm 1.8.

Having fun with the manual focus laowa 15mm f/4 macro, you gotta get pretty close for the shot.

Hi. This is my first time photographing M31, or any deep sky object and I'm incredibly happy with the results.

It was also the first test of my SWSA GTi. I was pleasantly surprised after seeing pin-point sharp stars at 380mm 60s and I think I could've gone for 500mm but I only had about an hour of dark sky so I didn't want to risk it.

Camera: Nikon Z8
Lens: Nikkkor 180-600
Tracking: SWSA GTi

Aperature: f6
Focal length: 380mm
Exposure: 40 x 60s
ISO: 800
Bortle 4

40 biases, 40 flats, 20 darks.

Stacking and postprocessing: Siril, GIMP.

I pretty much followed one tutorial from YT as I never used Siril before.

After that, I did some small tweaks in Photoshop.

Got a new camera and tried some stuff (145.022-69 1970)

I am using an old model D60, with a DX VR lens as shown in the next image. I watched YT videos on how to solved this issue but can't seem to fix it.

Pls help.

What seems to be the problem?

I want to hear your setups because some users pointed out that mine is suboptimal.

Here it is:

• Fn button - Custom menu (fast access to obscure items), if it's not there it's on the bottom of the main menu and cycling through that kinda beats the purpose of even having a custom menu.

• preview button - playback so I don't need to reposition my left hand away from the lens and back. Especially if I have a heavy lens, my left hand remains where it is and my right hand with a press of a button gets me into playback which I can further cycle all with my right hand, then pressing the same button again I exit from playback.

I'd argue other stuff is pretty fast access, take exposure evaluation for example. Hold a button with your index finger and rotate command dial with your thumb to the right (for center) or to the left (for center weighted), pretty fast I'd say. White balance is a tricky one on my D7100 but that doesn't really matter because I run all my photos through Lightroom and perform necessary corrections there.
