Nikon Z 6 III and High-ISO Performance

Nikon Z 6 III and High-ISO Performance

by Reed Hoffmann | Sep 29, 2024 | Action, Exposure, Intermediate, Night Photography, Sports, Technology

The verdict is in – Nikon’s got a new leader in high-ISO performance: the Z 6 III. When I wrote my initial hands-on review after getting the camera in June, I’d not had time to give it serious, real-world high-ISO testing. Having fewer pixels than the Nikon Z 9 and Z...
Four days, 25 miles, 90+ degrees and 9800 images

Four days, 25 miles, 90+ degrees and 9800 images

by Reed Hoffmann | Jun 20, 2024 | Action, Advanced, Camera Gear, Intermediate, Lenses, Sports, Technology, Weather

What’s harder than 18 holes of golf in hot, humid weather? How about chasing 156 golfers around a course for 12 hours? That’s what I did last Thursday and Friday in Wichita, KS, covering a Korn Ferry PGA tournament for Getty images. Saturday and Sunday the field was...
KC Super Bowl Events: from Ecstatic to Horrific

KC Super Bowl Events: from Ecstatic to Horrific

by Reed Hoffmann | Feb 25, 2024 | Beginner, Camera Gear, Intermediate, Lenses, People, Sports

While I photograph the Kansas City Chiefs home games during the season, I don’t go along if they make the playoffs or Super Bowl. But that doesn’t mean I’m finished doing assignments involving them. This year, for instance, I was hired to cover their departure from...
Why Buying a $14K Lens Made Sense

Why Buying a $14K Lens Made Sense

by Reed Hoffmann | Apr 27, 2023 | Action, Advanced, Camera Gear, Lenses, Sports, Wildlife

When Nikon announced the new Z 400mm f/2.8 TC lens, lots of people asked if I was going to buy one. My answer? “No way, I’d be crazy to spend $14,000 on one lens.” So I guess I’m crazy, because now I have one. Here’s what happened that changed my mind. I owned Nikon’s...
My Favorite Nikon Z 9 Hidden Feature

My Favorite Nikon Z 9 Hidden Feature

by Reed Hoffmann | Apr 13, 2023 | Action, Advanced, Camera Gear, Intermediate, Photo Mechanic, Sports, Technology

I have a love/hate relationship with how fast my Nikon Z 9 can shoot pictures. When photographing sports or wildlife, I often set it to 12 frames-per-second, but sometimes 15, 20, 30, 60 or even occasionally 120. Yes, you read that right, 120 frames-per-second. That’s...
One Long Day – Covering the Super Bowl Parade

One Long Day – Covering the Super Bowl Parade

by Reed Hoffmann | Feb 19, 2023 | Advanced, Beginner, Camera Gear, Intermediate, Lenses, Sports

Photographing the Kansas City Chiefs’ home games throughout the season, if they make it to the Super Bowl, of course I wish them the best. However, there’s a downside to that. If they win the championship, it means I’ll have to cover the parade. A big party? Yes. A...
