Frustrating having a new toy and no time to shoot! Busy week :(

This shot is of Onondaga Lake, near Syracuse NY. The lake is one of the most polluted in the country due to decades of dumping by Allied Chemical. Tons of by products from soda ash were dumped into the lake including about 25lbs of mercury per day. It is now in the middle of 15 year, $1 billion...

A home for my J3 shots, I'll start with "One of those Nights"

Re: New Nikon 18-35g Thread This crop is more than 100% at the focus point

Re: New Nikon 18-35g Thread This is from the excavator shot, the over exposure of the series. Below are some crops of the un-cropped original. These are at 18mm and no distortion correction applied, pretty good for an ultra-wide! Keep in mind that the extremes are far behind the focal plane...

A test in the RAW. Not many great subjects so I'm at my desk, 1/60th with flash (relatively low light). No PP except for sizing, 2nd shot is 100% crop, I think is great for a 1" sensor. Focus point is on the chip in the cup.

I'm at the end of my bananas:) This is a shot with the 10-30 kit lens at 30mm (translation is 82mm). This has vr, shot at 1/25th at f5.6, Jpeg!. Imagine what a fast lens can do! There is also an adapter available to use all of the standard mount lenses on this tiny body.

The Nikon 1 J3 was just discontinued so Best buy was selling them out for $349 (from $599) so I sold my P&S to pick up one of these. I was mainly attracted to the larger sensor, but all of the other features are very impressive. I'm amazed how small it is! Now waiting for the battery to charge.....,

Anyone know if these have that feature? I cannot find it in any specs.

Only one that made the cut,

Re: New Nikon 18-35g Thread A little orange

If you are really close to something, you will want to focus on a part close to you. I stick to the 1/3 rule with things a bit further away (say the 12' Jake mentioned). For example, in this shot I focused on the shovel, which was only about 3' away (and actually about 1/3 down from it's tip).

As an update I received this for Christmas: Amazon.com: DSLRKIT Full Metal Tripod Mount Ring for Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR lens: Camera & Photo It is very sturdy and the finger screw is very smooth. Mine is slightly different than pictured in the link:

Got my new bag, now I need more "stuff" and lenses! :) Can't seem to rotate the 2nd shot!
