D600/D610 Owners Unite! Discuss and Post Photos

mods, can we have a sticky? It'd be great to post shots and discuss settings, lighting, and give/receive advice. I think we can learn a lot from each other and I hope everyone's as thrilled about owning a D600 as I am :D


taken with 85mm and 50mm 1.8 . f/2.2, iso100, 1/160. PP in lightroom

This was the first time I used off-camera lighting. For the second shot, the flash is behind me on a table pointing straight up. I did leave out the built-in bounce card on the NEEWER TT560 ($40 manual flash). I used the Yongnuo RF-603 wireless triggers which I'm sure many of you have heard of/used. Not sure what exactly the newer YN-622C does better...maybe iTTL?

I'm planning on getting a main flash to use on camera (and off)... I need it for events like weddings in the future, so I'm guessing either SB-800 or 900.

There is a D600 section that is just for that so I don't see what good would a "sticky" bring. Just feel free to open a new thread in the D600 section and post there once in a while to keep it open and alive.

Thanks for participating. I'll try to post some pics when I get a little more time but I do post some in my 365 thread.

Enjoy your Nikon!

ok. hopefully we can create a lively d600 community here :)


I think so. There are already quite a few of us with the D600. If you look at my Gallery, all my Vietnam pictures (link) were done with the D600. I've had to take care of a sick parent last week but I'll try to post something here next week for sure.

Thanks for the interest.

marcel,
Your photos of vietnam are magnificent, the compositions moving, the colors vibrant and gorgeous.
Hyogen, your photos are wonderful as well, especially the drummer photo. Great use of lighting -
both of your photos make me want to shoot more and get better.
Thanks for sharing them.

Here are a few I did today with my 50$ 28-80 3.3-5.6 lens. It's plastic but sharp and very light. I often just put it on the camera when I go for a walk.

These following pics are ones I took in seattle in less than ideal light. I know I should have at least used fill flash, but this is the best I could PP them in lightroom. Not very pleased with them. I mainly want the skin tones to look right, but that may not be possible with the yellowish street lights. As you can see some I PP'd to be a little more magenta and some a little more yellow.

Could you guys give me some advice about how I could have made these shots better? Also, how you would have taken them without flash. (I don't like using the built-in flash...maybe I'll look into a pop-up diffuser for it).

I'm pretty sure I shot around iso5000, f/1.8 or 2, and possibly 1/60 or so shutter speed. I think I realized that 1/50 shutter speed for a 50mm lens isn't quite fast enough for me in all situations :)

I could even post the RAW files if anyone is willing to have a go at them.

What I SHOULD do in the future is use a flash/diffuser....expose for the background....underexpose for the background a little?

Thanks!

Come to think of it, I'm not 100% satisfied with this one either:

Recent portrait photoshoot I did for a couple. More can be found at www.colourfx.ca under the Couples portrait shoot and mainly shot with Nikkor 50mm 1.8 and 28-70mm 2.8 with SB900

nice photos. the 2nd one looks a little noisy..what was the ISO? Also, where is that low flash coming from next to the guy's rear?

nope, I actually dropped it onto carpet.. the small mirror under the large main mirror got detached and I think a pin possibly broke. I got super lucky they didn't call "impact damage". I hate to imagine what would have happened to my camera had it dropped onto concrete....something my old Rebel has suffered on a few occasions, but still kept shooting............ After reading a bunch of horror stories about Nikon warranty service, I feel bad that I had such a great experience... They also cleaned my sensor :eek:

My wife hated my sherbet ice-cream edit of this photo...what do you guys think?
