Even More Fun Pictures with Nikon

that 35 F2 does okay...:salute:

Yeah, it does okay.

Wow. (You mean the Nikkor AF 35/2 D ?)

 

[Corlan F.]

Ditto - the ZF gang

**Sounds like you had quite the same angle then MS was using a tad wider FL**


you like wider? the series. we were both using 70-200's on nikons

reuters shot--i think we were pretty close if you look at the line up--he cropped the top. it is amazing our camera's fired at the same split second. this is all while balancing two other bodies, one with a 200-400 on it that was used for the prior shot (which is why the cameras get beat up so much). fun stuff for sure!

...

I liked the first one you'd posted all the same

Actually, to state the truth and the whole truth, from the very first look at both -saw the Reuters earlier today when reading the news- i in fact significantly preferred yours (more stamina, better lateral angle resulting in better gesture separation etc.)... provided though a slight retouching in the background giving a better contrast to the fist than the guy's hat/head.

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to share all these great action shots, and for the detailed seies and comments.

Very, very instructive. :thumbs:

D3; 70-200/2.8 VR @ 200/2.8 ISO 1100 (grain not a result of the high ISO) (I'm noticing some vignetting on this lens wide open on the D3). Playing with a b/w conversion, going for a film-like grain. I put the grain in the background area by play with the green slider in ACR.

Fine portrait, Lloyd :thumbup:

Fulton,
I like the ones of Mr. Ishikawa the most. They have a story to tell. But I suppose Mr. Woods sells more newspapers and magazines, even though photos of him have been published on a couple of previous occasions as well if my mind serves me correctly

From my front porch, 15 minutes ago.

D3, 70-200/2.8 @ 130/9.5, ISO 200:

OK - you win hands down the "best-view-out-of my-porch" contest.

(terrific picture btw)

LOL.. Yeah, it's not too bad... but we do have some rough weather in the winter to sort of balance it out.

BTW, I shot the same view with my Leica M8 just a few minutes ago, using a 75mm CV lens. I posted that on the M8 thread.

Nice view too. :thumbup:

Here's the same mountain a couple of years ago. Again from the front porch:

D2x, 200/2:

One of the next peak to the south. At sunrise. D70, 200-400. Not from the porch, but from the front yard.

 

[Corlan F.]

For us mere near-sea-level mortals, it's good to think about that nasty recycling plant blocking the view from your bedroom window.

 

[viablex1]

damn lloyed wtf!!!

 

[ddk]

Where is this porch Lloyd? I love rough winters too!

 

[Jorgen Udvang]

An exceptional view, Lloyd. I'm envious. I can hear Mother Nature calling

Samut Prakan is on average a meter or so above sea level, and at the moment, most of it is flooded. The taxi driver last night wanted extra pay for probable water damage to his car
