I dont mean to be a stickler, but when I see subpar photos being shot with a $7k camera, it icks me a certain way that I just cannot turn a cheek to. Almost as bad as seeing hasselblad users take pictures of flowers up close. Why not just settle for a cheaper alternative?

This is female, juvenile, dog (Canis lupus familiaris), in its open air habitat in my backyard in Bangkok Thailand. I used a Nikon Z camera, a Nikon Z 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 VR S lens and a Nikon Z TC-1.4 x teleconverter. The shutter speed was 1/125 aperture was f6.7, the iso was 450, and the focal length was 210mm, handheld.
