NIKON Z8 | 50 - 250mm | CINEMATIC SHORT | MORNING RAIN #nikonz8 #cinematicshort



(Note: All links will open up in a new tab)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to do a videography on my new camera, the Nikon Z8. I'm still learning and trying out some settings. I did a reasonably good job. I've been checking out some other videos on YouTube and I got an idea of what kind of video I wanted to do.

I currently have a problem with my left knee. So, I can only walk a little. Been itching to go out and try out the Nikon z8. I've been wanting to do a video during the rain. I used to hate the rainy season. I prefer the beautiful blue sky for photography.


Later on, I realized that rain can be a positive thing. It can add a bit of drama to the photo or video. We can use natural light to make the picture more in-depth. That's what I believe anyway. This is my first try and I hope there'll be positive feedback.

Of course, I don't expect everyone to like it. Everyone has their own preferences. Sometimes, that's one of the reasons stopping me from taking photographs or making a video. I always wondered why I even bothered. Then again, why should I care what others think as long as I'm happy?


You can't please them. Anyway, I've been uploading videos on my YouTube channel for a long time. Some popular videos got high views. Because of YouTube's new #short videos, most views have dropped. My video views significantly dropped too.

One positive thing from the #shorts video is that it helps me get more subscribers. I also get many views from my #short videos. #short videos are easy to make and quick to upload. So there are cons and pros to YouTube's #short. You just need your phone to take videos and upload them.


I love making videos. That's why I decided to get the Nikon Z8. Yes, it's expensive. But, it's an investment. I'm still new to photography but the Z8 can make me a better photographer and videographer. It's a great hybrid camera if you love both.

My first camera was the Nikon Coolpix P950. I love the zooming capabilities. Watch this video I made with the P950. The second camera I bought is also a Nikon, the Zfc. I love the Nikon Zfc too. One of my favorite photos and videos I took in this video.


I used the Nikkor z dx 20-250mm to take the video. I plan to get the latest 28-400mm for my z8. I love the prime 28mm lens that came with my Zfc. I want the 28mm lens and the 400mm range. I've used the zoom in my P950 that's why I love lenses with different zoom capabilities. 

I'm getting the gimbal or the cage for my z8. But, they are pretty expensive. Using a handheld seems ok. If you plan to take some action videos, you certainly need them. I'm still testing and doing my own research to make good videos. If you like my "Morning Rain" video pls like and share!

Yup! I love my Nikon Z8!

My new Viltrox 13mm F1.4 AF lens for Nikon Zfc unboxing


VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens for Nikon Z50 Z30 Z6II Z7II Z6 Z7

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I got the chance to test out my new Viltrox 13mm, f1.4 AF lens on my Nikon zfc, and I love it. Though, it's not for all situations. Especially, when I want closer shots of my subject. Sometimes, it's too broad. Hence, having to change the lens frequently. Lol.

I was planning to go out again today and use the Viltrox 13mm lens but, the weather forecast says it's gonna be cloudy the whole day. It's actually dark in my room right now. I was hoping for some bright blue skies. Anyway, since it's a holiday, it's a great chance to rest my body aka body maintenance.

I really like how sharp the 13mm is. It really does give a little difference in the view perspective. Most reviewer says it's great for landscape. I usually set my camera to auto. And, it works well with the viltrox lens. It does give a little wider view.

The lens is a tad heavy. You can really feel the build quality and how much you pay for it. As I'm using it with the Nikon zfc, it really gives my camera a distinctive look. Yup, I know people eyeing my camera while carrying it around.

Maybe, it's because I'm like the only one carrying a camera. Well, there is this one other guy with a bigger lens than mine. Kinda funny, cause he's probably wondering why mine, the lens, is shorter if I'm gonna shoot some birds.

I didn't really go to the Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve (Google Maps) to get some bird shots. I also wanted to try my new Nikon Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm lens. I'm also loving the lens. Though I couldn't get much closer shots, I can still enlarge and crops the pics later.

Well, you need to go out there and start shooting photos if you want to improve and I certainly learn a lot by doing it. Every time I went out hiking or cycling to interesting places to take photos, I discovered what kind of lens I should or not use. 

I basically got myself the Nikkor z dx 50-250mm because I like zooming in or out to get the shots that I want or preferred. When I first used the 28mm prime lens, I really miss the zooming capabilities of my Nikon Coolpix P950. Of course, the prime lens offered a different perspective too.

When I went to the wetland reserve, I wasn't thinking of getting bird shots. Luckily, I had the 50-250mm. So, I managed to get some good bird shots. But, I soon realized, I'm a couple mm lens shorts. I couldn't get any closer. Now, I'm thinking can or should I get a teleconverter? 

I just saw this Nikon Nikkor z 400mm (without a tc) and have been watching some reviews and Nikon official videos on it. Looks like pretty amazing pictures and videos. I also like how some reviewers say it's much shorter and lighter compares to other big lenses.

Check out some of my 13mm and 50-250mm pics I took at the Sungei Buloh Wetland reserve below:












The last pic is cropped from a 50-250mm shot. The lens couldn't get any closer but I can enlarge and crop it. Still looks good. Also, using the 13mm is also great for a vertical shot. Useful, when taking a pic of the tall tower. You don't have to stand further out.

Because I'm lazy, I shot mostly in jpegs and just edit a bit of color, brightness, saturation, etc. For more pics and videos of the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Check out my video here. Pls like, share & subscribe!
