My new AstrHori Full frame 50mm F2.0 Manual prime lens for Nikon z fc z mount #astrhori #nikon #nikonzfc

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was looking for a budget(cheap) lens for my new Nikon Z fc and found one from AstrHori. It's a 50mm full-frame F2.0 prime lens and Z mount. Nicely fits on my ZFC. It's also within my budget. So, what the heck? It's fun to play and try out the new lenses.

Of course, I researched a 50mm lens. It's a manual and a third-party product for a Nikon camera. I'm a newbie in photography, and my first camera was the Nikon P950. I love that camera because of its zoom capabilities, and I still have it.

I love my Nikon Zfc; it's a different beast altogether. It's a Retro design with all the bells and whistles, but a different camera altogether from my P950. For starters, I have the 28mm and now the 50mm lens. The Nikon 28mm autofocus prime lens is a special edition for the Zfc.

When I bought the Nikon P950, I didn't have to worry about getting a lens. It has an 83mm optical zoom and a 2000mm digital zoom. I bought it because I can use it to take pictures and videos of the moon. It's also great for normal digital photography.

I love the look and design of my new 50mm AstrHori lens. It's manual focus, though, and it's not like my Nikon 28mm S.E. with autofocus and CPU link to my camera. So, you have to manually adjust everything. Which I actually like. Well, how am I supposed to learn if everything is auto?

That's why I don't like it when people give low stars in their reviews of products. You bought it because of what it does, not what it can't do. If you want a product that does what you want, buy it. Yes, it's definitely going to be expensive!

I bought the AstrHori 50mm manual prime lens because it's cheaper and within my budget. I might get a Nikon or other expensive and more capable lens. Heck, I've been watching videos of the latest Fuji X-H2/X-H2S camera. I like some of the sample videos shown on YouTube.

X-H2 is for videographers, and the X-H2s is more geared toward photographers. Or is it the other way around? Lol. A video or movie showcased by someone using the X-H2 is good. Which to choose because I love taking photos and videos.

I'm a total beginner in photography, and I just got my Nikon P950 and Nikon Z Fc. I would like to add to my collection of cameras and lenses. It's a new hobby of mine, albeit an expensive one. It's interesting, and I need to get more experience.

I also just started cycling, and because I like to cycle to parks, beaches, and nature reserves, I also started photography. Cycling and photography. Oh, I also have a YouTube channel and this blog. You have seen and read my blog, so don't forget to visit my channel too!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I haven't gone out for a while with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I've been itching to. But, the pandemic is still on and there's been news of new covid clusters. In malls and bus interchanges. Many bus drivers and staff got the covid-19.

In fact, one of the places that I recently went to was classified as a new cluster. My friend and I were damn lucky to escape from not being infected. We even went to the mall to have our dinner. If you're not gonna get it, you're not gonna get it.

The good thing is that both I and my friend are already fully vaccinated. All of my family and near relatives have been vaccinated too. That doesn't mean, we stop wearing masks or being careful. My relative's son-in-law and his mother recently died of covid.

I think both of them didn't get the chance to get vaccinated. So, if you have the chance to be vaccinated, go for it. Don't listen to that anti-vax. It's not worth risking yourself and your family over political or opinion differences. Use your common sense.



Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P950: Getting the Most from Nikon's Superzoom Digital Camera

Anyway, every evening sometime when I look at the sky from my window, the view is pretty amazing. I've taken some pictures and videos with either my Samsung Note 10+ camera or now with my P950. Since I've bought some filter lens, I thought I'll try them out. 

I decided to use the variable Neutral Density Adjustable ND Filter lens that I've bought. That's actually how I got the red version of the sky. You can watch it on my #Shorts video here. I'll also post some of the pics below. I only took a few.

Again, I'm an amateur photographer and only recently bought my first point-and-shoot camera the Nikon Coolpix P950. Although I mainly bought it because of the cool superzoom capability, I've always been interested in taking good photos.

That's why I bought all sorts of filter lens and still dabbling with the P950 menu settings. There are still lots of things, I'm not sure of. I've been reading lots of info on using a camera but, I can't quite get a grasp of some things. I'm not really in a hurry though. It's becoming my new hobby.

By the way, have you guys seen the latest Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera? God damn, I love the design alone. I want to get it when I got the money. It'll be great if you're on holiday or just out and about. It's definitely lighter than my P950 although, you can't zoom far with it. 

Check out the evening sky photos that I've taken with my P950 using the variable ND filter below:

Kinda cool to play around with the ND variable filter. You can make the scene brighter or darker. For the P950, I tried it on auto and the night scene. I think it looks nice. Of course, that's my opinion. Also, you don't have to go out to take great sky photos.

We can take great photos from our own near surroundings. Only that, we didn't notice it. I only really start looking at things now that I have a camera. Before, like everyone else, I didn't see the beauty in everyday things. In today's fast phase world, it's time to slow down and enjoy the very simple things in life.

What do you guys think?

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Botanic gardens - Ever seen a Big Badass Black Lizard?

Nikon COOLPIX P950 83x Optical Zoom Digital Camera (USA 26532) with 16PC Accessory Bundle Package – Includes: SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SDXC Memory Card + 2X Extended Life Battery + 57” Tripod + More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I went to my local botanic gardens and took some pictures and videos with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I dabble a lot with the setting, switching between Auto and Scene. Especially, for the close-up shot. Personally, I really like the pictures and videos that I took. Have a looksie here!

I'm still not sure what I'm doing. The LCD screen is not really helping as they don't really show the quality of the picture I've taken. Sometimes, I'll think the picture is a little washup but when I upload to my PC or laptop, they actually look great. I'm glad, I didn't delete a couple of those shots.

I'm learning though. I like playing with the ISO. It's easy to access and quickly adjust the lighting. I also keep forgetting that I'm already using the UV filter. So, the pictures are already affected by the filter. Which gives the pictures and video a little more color.

Take a look at the pictures and videos and tell me what you think here. I might also want to get the photographer's guidebook on using the Nikon Coolpix P950. Little tips might improve the quality of my pictures and videos in the future.

I really need to buy extra batteries for the camera. Halfway through taking pictures and the battery went dead. I didn't think I'll need an extra battery. As I was sure I won't be taking that many pictures and videos. I was planning to just stay at the botanic gardens for maybe 1 or 2 hrs.

I did bring along my power bank and managed to charge it to half full for around 30 mins. It's pretty slow to charge. I'm not sure if the latest power bank could charge a little faster. But, I took the time to relax, eat and drink some water.

I haven't done this much walking for a while. Not just because of the  Covid-19 pandemic. I'm kinda a homely person. I only go out of my house if I have to, like work. Other than that I just stayed home and do my own things. Maybe, because I'm getting older.

When you're young, you hang out with your schoolmates and go places. When you get older, most of your friends are married with children. When I had a girlfriend, they're actually the ones coercing me to go out with them. Now, I'm single again and going out because of my new camera. Lol.

I'm not complaining though. Like I've said, I've always been interested in owning a camera and taking great photos. In recent years, I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone as the main camera to take pictures and videos. But, having a camera is very much a different kind of ball game.

Right now, I'm still learning how to use a point-and-shoot camera. It's becoming my new hobby. With social media, you can easily share all your works. And, of course, an added bonus for my blog and youtube channel. I also have to remember that sometimes not everyone likes my pictures and videos.

Check out these one original and two edited sample photos were taken from my P950 edited using FB editor (I don't have any photo & video editing software):

The original pic was taken from Nikon Coolpix P950. Admittedly, it's a little washup.

My sis gave me a damning critic of my photo whereas my ex-colleagues at work praise how bright it is. In the end, I told her that everyone has their own opinion, and that doesn't mean I have to accept it. In any case, I'm still getting the hang of it and I'm already thinking of other types of cameras. 

You've got to start somewhere right? And, people usually edit their main pictures for imperfection. I don't know why my sis and one of my friends asked me to use a flash in broad daylight to take outdoor photos. Yes, I've seen pros working using lighting effects outdoor before. 

I'm not a pro photographer and I don't have money to buy expensive equipment. I'm not in the photography business. I work with what I have and if most people are okay with it, I'm happy. I'll learn and improve as I go along with this new hobby of mine. So, keep visiting my blog and channel!

By the way, check out the big badass black lizard at the near end of my video. At the moment, the Nikon Coolpix P950 is still the only camera I have, and loving it. Yes!
