I was able to attend a sumo wrestling during the premier event last Saturday. Fortunately, our sponsor had very close seats available for us. Here are some of the pictures that I took. Fuji X10 with Nikon SB 800 X10 Sumo 027 by gqtuazon, on Flickr 1. Nikon D7000 + 70-200mm f2.8 @115mm...

A few days ago I was able to use my D7000 for video. I used the rig below with a Nikon ME-1 mic in order to get a stereo sound. A Holiday Concert from my daughter's school concert. I hope you like it. D7000 + 70-200mm and later on shifted to 24-70mm due to closer distance. Setting was 1/50...

Here is a small tribute to my fellow veterans. In commemoration for your courage and sacrifice, thank you for your service. Nikon D700 + 70-200mm f2.8 VRII + SB 900

Just splurge a little over $1k on a tripod and ballhead excluding the camera and lens plates. This is getting more expensive than what I had planned. What was I thinking?:confused: I hope it's all worth the investment. All I need to do now is improve my skill(s). :( Good luck on that one...

Annual parade that's held here in Japan. I thought of sharing them with you using the Nikon 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. Please pardon the larger picture sizes to those who uses a smaller monitor or an older version of the web browser. 1. Mikoshi_276 by gqtuazon, on Flickr 2. Mikoshi_203...

Just a sample image taken during my short visit in Singapore. The tall building is the Sands Hotel and Casino which provides a spectacular view if you visit the roof top. Too bad they prohibit the use of tripod. D700, Nikon 16-35mm f4 VRII, @ 25mm, f9, 5 secs, ISO 200

I just received my D7000 and Nikon 16-35mm f4 VRII back from Nikon yesterday. I sent both units to Nikon in El Segundo CA to have the focus and calibration checked since I was suspecting an error or slight softness when using this combo. Both units were still under warranty. Anyway, Nikon...

I just received my new (used) Nikkor 300mm f4.5 Ais MF lens today. I bought it because it was reasonably cheap and I wanted to try MF. I entered the lenses information to the camera (similar to the D7000) which includes the focal length and max aperture and it was ready to go. Please pardon me...

I'm not sure where to post these images but I thought of sharing them to the group. These were USO volunteers who perform for the troops. The band who visited us here in Japan are called bowlingforsoup. BOWLING FOR SOUP Taken with D7000 + 70-200mm VRII + SB 900 with green gel (fill flash)...

I haven't mastered the features of the D7000 and one of my biggest frustrations is getting the correct picture control and auto white balance settings which would mimic the settings of my D700. Initially I did not like the yellowish or warmer AWB using Auto1. Recently I discovered that if you...
