Even More Fun Pictures with Nikon

For a change in scenery, from a series of early summer apricot trees here's a counter illustration of a natural law:
CZ50mm 2M - f2 -soft focus on purpose - from RAW - no crop - only light is the setting sun
Hello Corlan F,
Very nice apricot image. You have really captured the texture of the apricot. Best regards, Leica 77

Impressive skyscraper inner architecture.
Especially with the second one... how did you shoot it ? Did you lean over or just the camera ?
On a larger scale it reminds me of the Luxor hotel in LV, with these hallways pretty much directly open into well, the void, one keeps wondering by what repeated miracle no lethal accidents happen all the time.
(...esp in Vegas with all the gaming involved...)

Many thanks for your positive feedback. I carefully put the camera towards the well by extending my arms as much as I could. I suppose one can use a parachute as an alternative...

Funny how the defocus makes the image look like you were shooting a miniature.playing around with the 24 T/S and the D3
(post processing grain added, not normally found in a D3 file.. but i don't like 'clean' images
)
(more pics but with the IR D90 and this lens can be found at

Or... their worst nightmare ? :ROTFL:
Carlos, as mentionned some days ago, love your latter ballet series. Extremely well done. :thumbup:

Thanks Corian! Shooting ballet (and stagecraft in general) is always very challenging. Hopefully, the upcoming D700x will match the D700 in low-light performance and I can add that to my repertoire for larger format images as moving to MFD is very cost prohibitive at the moment and may not give me the performance level I need to do this kind of stuff. Landscapes/Urbanscapes on the other hand...

I know it's not exacty the right place, but what is the D700x is supposed to bring ? I've heard video but it's certainly not what you refer to.
I'm quite happy with the D700 performance for the moment, not in a hurry
Still have to try in-depth some of your CV lenses, though. I planned to, but kinda stick to CZ -great products.

The D700x brings 24.5 mpx to compete with the Canon 5D Mk II. I can use that level of resolution especially with some of the tight crops my customers ask for.
The CV lenses are quite good and have the advantage of being chipped so that all Nikon auto modes work correctly with them. Just set the aperture the highest setting on the barrel of the lens and set the it on the camera body. Works like a champ. I only use my AF zooms for show work, the rest of the time a CV prime is clamped on my D700.

Nice one, Tim. Never would have guessed that it was with a Lensbaby.
