The shots were so good man, regardless of the gear. ❤

Hello Lukasz,
great video as always (I've seen it 4 days ago with a different thumbnail, which was actually very nice). But what impressed me the most was your choice of clothing to perfectly match the waves at 11:23 . Amazing!👍

Have a great day!

I always find your street photography very inspiring, actually your videos is why I started to more seriously try street photography this summer, but it turns out you're a great landscape photographer too!

Lovely images and narration as always! It's always so refreshing to hear you talk through your process when shooting compared to a lot of other creators on YouTube. And very excited to see your print shop open! I've been wanting a copy of Slide for a long time now.

Awesome video with great shots from both of you! I'm amazed at how detailed the cropped pics are, and how clean the long exposure pics look regardless of the wind. My camera and stand would probably shake too much in wind like that. Does your cam have some kind of stabilisation during exposure?

Another winner from Viltrox! I love their 40mm and 85mm, I want the 20mm next, this is a bit too wide for me. Great 3 lens setup for a low price.

Enjoyable video and pics. Nice change of pace. Super venue and storm preview. Expected Godzilla to emerge from the sea and stomp on the lava rocks😊. “Cloud hat” new photo term. Hot pixel bit a plus.
Is the lens weather sealed?
Re ND filters, do you prefer single over variable NDs? Reason and preference might make for a good vid.
Yes, I always watch good YT channel posts to the end. Cheers!

With the recent firmware update to 1.09 there is a choice for "mapping" which you assign to either/both fn1 or fn2. Can you explain what this does and how to set it up?

does the viltrox 16mm get much corner pinching distortion?

At least on Nikon the Low and High "Extended" ISOs are digital. It takes a photo at base ISO (64 in case of the Z9) and then multiplies it down by 1 EV to get to ISO 32. The trick the camera does to not get blown out highlights when doing this, is to underexpose by about 1 EV while *not* in Low Extended ISO, which pretty much every Nikon since the mid-2010s does. The reasoning behind it is "highlight protection"; when you shoot JPEG your Nikon can use that extra highlight data for "Active D Lighting" and miraculously bring back detail. So when you're at ISO L1 the right end of your histogram really is the end, but at ISO 64 and above you usually get some extra highlight data in your raw files.
