Fun with Nikon Images

[Bryan Stephens]

Thank you lloyds. I should admit that I have a great subject muse in my wife. She is the competitor second from the right (#17). She has been competing for the past 3 years and really got me into photographing bodybuilding and figure competitors.

She looks great. Good you do it together. I don't know how only one person in a marriage could do it without the support of the other. How'd she do in this competition?

 

[Bryan Stephens]

She won her height class (tall), masters over 35, and the overall. We are at the Team USA Chapmionships in Teaneck, NJ this weekend where the top competitors can win their pro cards to compete in the IFBB competitions.

Got my D800e replacement for my defective D800e and have been getting to know the camera for a couple of days. This one taken of the Snake River, Colorado using my 35mm 1.4G lens, just a few minutes ago. I'm really enjoying this camera! Eleanor

Re: Fun with D800 Photos

The stars are close to being dots. The streakiness of stars are ?aberations? of whatever type...

Most lenses will not give pin-point stars wide open. A point light source is the best thing to show limitations of a lens. Stopping down two stops or more will tighten up those stars. To stop them from trailing, you will need a shorter exposure or a tracking mount. Tracking will make the ground blur. Welcome to the wonderful fun you can have shooting stars from a rotating platform.

Re: Fun with D800 Photos

nice images eleanor!

i too have the same camera/lens combo. imho, a great combo! i hope you enjoy yours as much as i enjoy mine. in addition, i feel a sense of freedom being able to go out with a small kit (compared to lugging around my tech cameras and hassy equipment) while still able to create high/gallery quality images.
