Fun with Nikon Images

Ok then....my first image here on the Nikon thread. :D

I ordered a very nice D2X from KEH (primarily to use with my Nikkor AIS primes) and it arrived here in Alaska this morning. I stopped by the only decent camera store in Anchorage (Stewart's, which has been in business since before the 1964 earthquake) during my lunch break to check out the various options for a do-it-all walk around AF lens (since I don't own any Nikon AF lenses) and came out with a 16-85G (thanks for the recommendation Jorgen!). It was the right lens at the right price.

Here is one of my first images with the camera, taken along the Alaska Railroad yards (my frequent lunch hour stomping ground). I'm really looking forward to using the D2X with my Nikkor manual focus lenses and sharing a few images here in the months to come. I will be spending a good part of this weekend getting familiar with the camera and seeing how those AIS lenses perform.

I apologize, I'll catch up tomorrow. A quick post, and then to bed. We have an early neighborhood "Disaster Preparedness" meeting tomorrow (earthquakes).

Rayyan, you have spent so much money on cameras and lenses, screamed my wife.
What could it be, I thought. Not PMS, not for a grandmother.
Even with all these cameras and lenses your photos are crap. Over contrasty, over saturated and over sharpened, she added. And meaningless, she woofed.
Why can't you take pretty pictures like the others. Ones we can hang on our walls.
It clashes, she continued, with our decor. And our color scheme, screaming.
But dear, I said softly, that is how I see. They just comes out that way.
Maybe a new camera might help, I suggested very politely.

This reminds me of a conversation between husband and wife I overheard in a fly fishing store recently.

Wife: "You have so many fly rods already—how many fly rods do you need?"

Husband: "Just one more."

Best,
Tim

So... I posted some pix of flowers and said we had a least a promise of Spring. Well, apparently I was mistaken! This is was greeted us this morning:wtf:

D3s, 70-300 VR:






Actually, the forecast of the coming week is pretty encouraging. Temps in the upper 60s for the most part.

Welcome to the thread Gary. I've been enjoying your MF film stuff for a long time. Congrats on the new (to you) camera and the lens. Nice shot here, and I'm looking forward to more.

That cracks me up!!! My brother is a fanatical fly fisherman (and an Orvis Endorsed Guide... he was recently selected by Orvis as the "Trout Bum of the Week.) I'm pretty sure his wife lost count of how many fly rods he has years ago. Just one more is NEVER enough. :D The analogy is well taken, however.

Here's the story Lloyd. I have just had a tooth extraction. The mouth is still
numb.
I had tried to save the tooth.
But listening to her on and on...I went into the dentist.
Now I don't have to answer her for sometime. Maybe prolong it for days!!

New camera! Are you serious. I am hiding what I have.

Thanks Lloyd.:salute:

Lloyd, the flower pix were lovely. But I didn't know you had gone North for the winter!;)

Anyways, these are simply lovely. The first shot is gorgeous. The snow really is adding a charm of it own to the trees.

The car cleaning should be a lovely bonus. Keep you warm.

Excellent pal.:salute:
