By illuminating this leaf with extremely warm light—while at the same time illuminating the stone surface with daylight-colored light—the leaf stood out a bit more from it’s surroundings. Nikon D850 | PC-E Micro Nikkor 45mm f/2.8D ED #NikonNoFilter #NikonAmbassador

A very simple image that uses only two Speedlights, a very sharp lens, and some inexpensive twinkling lights to create the circular shapes in the background. Nikon Z 6 | AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G | 5000K White Balance | 1/60 @ f/1.4 #NikonNoFilter #NikonAmbassador

The temperatures may be getting colder, but we’re still growing, full bloom ahead Cherry blossom 📸 Nikon Z 50 + NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR.

obsessed with this flower. the trichome details Pinched fingers shot on a Nikon Z6 + #Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 macro lens

Tossing em' back- on a cool rainy morning in Oregon, an American robin feasts on holly berries. Toxic to human, the berries are an important winter food for many birds. Shot w/Nikon Z6ii and the amazing AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR lens
@Obong
Intertwined... I love being surrounded by fall color, looking up toward leaves of gold and a deep blue sky is always a treat for me, I feel so immersed in autumn! This was photographed with my NikonUSA Z 7II and NIKKOR 8-15mm lens at 15mm.
@Obong
Early morning light and colorful reflections created a great opportunity to photograph this duck. Shot with my Nikon Z 6II and NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens close to water level to surround the posing duck with reflections of vibrant fall color.
@Obong
Patterns, colors, and textures of a butterfly. Light reveals the beauty to the lens—in this case, the razor-sharp new Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S—and the Z 7II camera records every intricate detail.
@Obong
The delicate bristles of a fan paintbrush, illuminated from below and behind, reproduced in monochrome and finished with a slight cyanotype tint. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | ISO 125 | 1/125 @ f/14 |
@Obong
Handmade paper and translucent plexiglas combined to produce an interesting background—and light source. Nikon Z 7II | F-Mount Adapter FTZ | PC-E Micro Nikkor 45mm f/2.8D ED | 5750K | RAW Capture | ISO 250 | 1 second @ f/20 |
@Obong
A pyramid of colorful pencils, an interesting background, and some strong directional lighting to reveal the texture in the freshly sharpened tips. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | ISO 250 | 1/160 @ f/16 |
@Obong
Wading birds, a heron and an egret make a pair of beautiful silhouettes when surrounded by colorful reflections in late afternoon light. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm & 2X converter was perfect for covering a variety of shots in quickly changing light conditions. Happy Holidays
@Obong
I approach product images like a beautiful landscape: Light, depth, color, tone and texture are all interesting elements to be explored and captured. Nikon Z 7II | F-Mount Adapter FTZ | PC-E Micro Nikkor 45mm f/2.8D ED |
@Obong
The ideal camera is one that removes any friction between the picture you imagine, and the picture you create. That’s the camera to have. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S | ISO 400 | 1/1600 @ f/4.0 |
@Obong
Took delivery of my NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S production model and found that it lived up to all of the reviews and more. Here are images made of my Aussie and enlargements of the original NEF.
@Obong
Shooting swan portraits and reflections with the new Nikon Z 9, FTZII adapter, and NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF lens was an amazing experience! Most impressive is the proactive autofocus system, it locks on and stays focused on erratically moving subjects.
@Obong
This Egyptian goose was photographed 30 minutes before sunset with the Nikon Z 9, FTZ II adapter and NIKKOR 500mm PF lens. I was mesmerized by the reflections, and by the performance features of the new Z9!
@Obong
Before I turn my pristine Z 9 camera into a used Z 9 camera, I thought I would make some macro images of some of my favorite contours of the new flagship. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 1/80 @ f/4.0 |
@Obong
Leaves are gone, winter’s moving along. Still one of the prettiest sunrises I’ve seen, in the chill of this morning’s dawn.
@Obong
Always have felt lucky & proud to be a Nikon Ambassador. Never more than today. The future arrived in a box. It's bright. Onto '22, camera in hand! Thanks to Nikon, & Thumbs up for the engineers who create genius tech like this. Opens the door to more picture possibilities
@Obong
With New Year's Eve looming, TimesSquare is trending. Here's a view of what the Coca Cola sign used to look like, circa the 80's. Changed the bulbs by hand.
@Obong
Days do dwindle down. The colors of fall in NYC are surrendering to the chill of winter. Shot this just a bit ago in Central Park. Using now simply the best ball head I've ever used, a Series 4. Supremely stable & Fun to use.
@Obong
These butterfly wings are very small—perhaps the size of your thumb—but captured at 1:1 they feel much, much larger. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 5500K White Balance | 31 RAW Captures | ISO 800 | 1/6 @ f/11
@Obong
A final image of my pristine Z 9, before it becomes a well used Z 9. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 1/250 @ f/4.5 |

“Found objects” are often the most fun to photograph precisely because they’re NOT a typical subject. This is a plastic sleeve used to protect a makeup brush during shipping. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S
@Obong
Not sure if I will be able to match the conditions we experienced in the Rockies a couple of years back in January: Awesome ice formations coupled with some great colour! Looking forward to finding some alternative things to point my camera at this winter!
@Obong
Really enjoying the sub zero temperatures this week! Every time I go out it's like a new adventure as ice transforms my local haunts into something magical. Persuaded Jack to join me for this shot too!
@Obong
Goose, with watery reflections, I love the gracefulness and action of the wings. The Nikon Z 9 tracked with the eyes during the entire wing flap, keeping focus with every movement. It’s such a joy to watch and have the opportunity to capture every detail.
@Obong
This makeup brush has too many bristles to count, but they were certainly fun to light and photograph. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 57500K White Balance | ISO 200 | 1/800 @ f/5.
@Obong
Let’s wrap up the year 2021 with this beauty. From this morning's Nikon Z9 tests. Greategret preening, breeding, plumage in the early morning light at the Venice Area Audubon Rookery, Venice, Florida. Shot with Nikon Z9, Nikkor 600mm f/4, 1/1250s, f/4, ISO 72, Wide-area AF (S) With much love from Andysheridan Photography 2021, I wish you a prosperous 2022 ahead
@Obong
A remarkable face, shaped with carefully positioned light, and an aperture choice that reveals silky transitions and beautiful bokeh. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | ISO 31 | 1/200 @ f/3 |
@Obong
This is a small spool of thread—no wider than a finger. But at a magnification of 1:1, or life-size, the lustrous thread is revealed to resemble metallic links that are finer than a human hair. Nikon Z7 |
@Obong
Interesting scenes sometimes need one additional element—like a person walking by in silhouette—to show scale, to give context, or to simply add motion to an otherwise static scene. (c) Andysheridan Photography 2022
