Sad very early morning in my household. This is from 2006, shot with a D70s and Nikkor 50mm 1.8D. One of my favorite shots. Missed the focus on her eye but love her gaze.
Nikon D800
For sale is my D800. USA model, it comes with the original box, all supplied accessories and 2 additional Wasabi batteries. Less than 24k shutter actuations. I am the second owner and have used it for approximately 16 months. I've never had any issue or reason for concern - it has...
AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
For sale is a clean copy of the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED. Excellent lens that has served me well. I would rate this a 9 out of 10. Even though it is variable aperture, I have never been disappointed. If I hadn't purchased the...
Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D AF Micro
Selling my well used copy of one of the most under-appreciated swiss army knife of FX lenses - the Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D AF Micro. Small, light weight, pro-caliber with 1:2 macro capability. Comes with both caps and hood. I'd rate it a 8+ out of 10 as far...
From Slickdeals: RitzCamera via eBay is selling the EN-EL15 battery for $34.99 with free shipping - this is $12 less than Amazon, B&H, etc. Battery works with the D600, D610, D7000, D7100, D7200, D750, D800, D800E, D810, D810A and Nikon 1 V1 bodies.
From Slickdeals: B&H and Adorama are selling the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Card Reader for US$13 with free shipping. I have one of these and it is fantastic. To be honest since upgrading to a D800, I use the CF slot for overflow and it doesn't get much use these days.
From Slickdeals: BestBuy has the Samsung EVO microSD Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Cards at a great price - 64GB for $23, 32GB for $13 and 16GB for $9. Free store pickup or free shipping when you spend $35 or more. For those shooting the newer Nikon 1 series, this may be of interest. I picked up a 32GB...
Think Tank Photo, who are celebrating their 10 Year Anniversary, just announced a special offer. Whenever you order one of their Urban Disguise Shoulder bags between now and May 15th you will receive a Shoulder Harness V2.0 backpack harness by mail for free. The harness converts your shoulder...
My stepson had his first little league game today. He is on the autism scale so plays on a Challenger team. The little leagues in Eastern Pennsylvania all have organized teams for the special needs kids. The "regular" teams each take a turn every season shadowing the Challenger team. It is fun...
After recent trips to Europe for the Christmas markets and a Key West getaway where my wife used my V2, I showed her the J4 recently on closeouts. She liked that it was white and that the 10-30 PD-Zoom lens didn't have a cap. I've been pretty impressed with the sharpness of the lens versus the...
A few from Antoni Gaudí's Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. Construction began in 1882 and is projected to complete in 2028. We've visited twice and will go everytime we're in Barcelona. Truly amazing. Every corner seems to be a different architectural style that somehow comes...
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption also known as the Great Mosque of Córdoba, usually referred to as the Mezquita, is a fascinating place to visit. Built as a Mosque in 784, it was converted to a Roman Catholic Cathedral in 1236. These are just a few examples of the interplay of the...
From two years ago and my last major trip with my beloved D300. The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma de Mallorca, more commonly referred to as La Seu. The sunlight outside is blindingly bright but makes the most amazing magical light display inside the cathedral. The first image is a HDR.
Woohoo I'm as crazy as a kid in a candy store - or even @Bill16 with a new camera!! :p
I'll be listing the D800 next week-end though. :( Right after I tell Laurie about the deal I made last night on a 1 Nikkor 70-300. . . . :cool:
I just found someone on the FM forum that pulled the trigger on a D4S without permission from the family accountant which resulted in him selling the D800E for a great price. Pulled the trigger as a minor upgrade to my D800. Should be in my hands by next week-end.
All Nikon 1's shoot RAW. I recently purchased a J4 on close-out for my wife. The flash works well and can be adjusted via compensation as well.
I have a SB-N5 purchased when I had my V1. Now that I'm shooting a V2, I rarely even bring it because the pop-up does a very nice job of fill flash...
Some of you may remember a couple years ago when I purchased and reviewed Think Tank's Mirrorless Mover 20 which was one of the first bags specifically designed for mirrorless cameras. A few of you even accused me of getting you in trouble with the family accountant when you purchased one. :p...
Remember if you have Amazon Prime, unlimited photo storage is included as part of your annual service.
This is intriguing but the interface needs to be improved. It is pretty simplistic (see screenshot below) and screaming for Dropbox-like capability.
