Setting up for my dramatic sports shoot tomorrow and called in a friend to stand in for lighting setup. Unfortunately, he didn't have his gear tonight, but I got the lights set up and I will shoot him in gear another night. The best part, Big Mike is 6' 6" and over 300 lbs., so if Big Mike fits in the frame then I will have no problems with anyone else. So tomorrow it will be full football gear and artificial sweat.

Great night shooting and making these baby skinned athletes look a bit grittier and tougher. The last one was the only one that I could get a "tough" response out of. The others would just laugh and couldn't do tough.

This baby-faced small kid was so difficult to toughen up. Kittens are not afraid.

(Image is not quite done, just a cursory edit for the parents to select from.)

So, how do you like it so far? It might take you to another level of photography, not so much because of the way it treats the images, but the way you relate with it.

What I'm finding, which confirms what I have read, that it's not quite as sharp as some of the higher megapixel cameras. However, I'm thinking this may be a real benefit for portrait work concerning skin. Kind of matches what I found when comparing the D800 with the D600. The D800 picked up details you couldn't readily tell were there with your eye.

I do love the sound of the shutter, different from all my other cameras. Looking forward to shooting with her.
