Yes, there's a dedicated "BKT" button in the control cluster on the top panel, alongside the drive mode button to enable auto bracketing (i.e. take the entire set at once) right next to it. It does have the infuriating caveat I mentioned in that it can't do solely positive or negative bracketing though. A really strange thing to miss out.

Oh dear, the bracket button on my D850 saves a lot of time messing in the menus. Looks like I will be off to take a look at the Z8, as this stupid little feature is something I miss on the Z7

Red boat is cherry here...

Great idea and great view.
Next step once tired from this view would be to install flat panel behind frame and show various images according to time and mood.

I like last image, seems most interesting. Only complaint is too narrow view, I'd like to see more.
Spring season seems to be on same stage as here, some green grass but no leaves on trees yet. And cloudy.

Great shots, convey well impression of wilderness.
Seems like safe place for frogs, nothing endangering them, at least from people. Here quite lot frogs live near city and on springs transit over road from winter habitate to summer "cottages". Previously lot of them died under wheels of cars, but now awareness is rising and during migration roads will be blocked and volunteers help frogs over road, collecting them into buckets and carrying over.

These moments when clouds gets lit underside are quite spectacular and worth waiting for. But more often than not you end up with nothing and need to struggle through dark and danger your way back :P

I think I had one of the front 'fn' buttons at the side of the lens mount assigned to BKT on the Z7. Still had to dive into the 'i' menu to switch the drive mode though.

Always carry a headtorch, that's my motto. Unless you forget, in which case it's 'danger of death' crossing a pitch black moor. It was nice to actually catch a crazy sunset for once, although I like to think I would have picked a much better location if I'd been expecting it.

Over the Edge

As well as lots of very green moss, the waterfalls of the Wood of Cree were showing their enthusiastic side thanks to the recent weather 😁

I tried my usual blending technique;

Lower down, the main falls;

You raise an interesting waterfall question. It is normal to see the water blurred in waterfall shots nowadays, I am guilty of this too. I rather like the spiky first shot which is perhaps truer to what we see.

I have often wondered if we each 'see' things differently. I know when I watch waves or falling water I perceive it as a rapid series of 'frozen' images in my mind's eye. The fashionable silky rendering is not at all how I perceive it, but I suppose one could make the case for it being an abstraction. Or perhaps some people do actually perceive waterfalls more in this way?

A nice sense of vertigo in the third.

I too see waterfalls as a series of spikey images. I think it is the fact that silky smooth water is a nicer effect in a picture. But it has become a bit of a cliché.
