Nikon 16-85vr Thread

[eurotrash]

We didn't have enough time to shoot video of the .50 unfortunately this weekend! :/
I am bummed, but did create this video with the 16-85 on my D7000...

What VDO-Editor are you using. Right now I am using AVS Video Editor 4.

Your VDO is smooth too, my VDO's are not smooth at all, that's why I stopped recording

I just use iMovie. All others are much too complicated for me to want to learn honestly.

Shot the video at 30fps, shutter speed of 1/60th. There are a few rules to follow when shooting video, but there are tons of threads on that in the forums so I won't regurgitate them here.

Also, I don't really know iMovie all that well honestly. I still have to learn from 16 year olds on YouTube while I'm doing a project

Used the 16-85 for a wedding (I know, it was insane, but I can't afford my 70-200 QUITE yet, a few more weeks!!)

All in all, I think it did pretty well. Could have been better (and a tad brighter) but not bad.

Another, trying some 'dreamy' type effects in Photoshop (which I know next to nothing about.) I plan on buying a book or something Critiques very welcome, I'm thinking of sending this print to her but hate how I cut off the bottom in-camera When framed, that could be an issue..

I think you might want to crop tighter, lost of dead space on the sides

Siam, I've noticed a lot of your shots are taken from what appears to be a standing position pointing down. Do you have some that have a different perspective? Also we need to start posting our focal length.

I'm also going to shy away from treating this thread as my personal 16-85 photo dump because I know that it'll get way too large, way too many pages deep. I think the intended purpose is to show off what the lens can DO, not what it does every day, you know? I'm going to only post my best pics with the lens because of this.

​Excellent shot!

The 16-85mm is great for landscape too. I like it a lot

 

[Michael J.]

In not the best light condition the 16-85 performances great

Nice shots Michael!

Just messing around after finishing painting the house and then the damn dryer goes out...AGAIN! NO rest for the wicked!
Anyway got to take a couple of pictures of one of our cats last night with the new lens and am impressed.
