That is the Pioneer Farm at the park. The maintenance super lives there. It is a target rich environment for photos...

I just went out this spring and bought a Nikon S8100 point and shoot. It handles all of my day to day shooting as well as all my off-road adventures with the jeep club, or camping, or just a day on the river in the boat.




If I want to get fancy I grab this.

Or this (yes it is soaking wet check photo below to see why)

And do this.....

Ok, I'll play. Not as nice as some of you guys but pretty cool. Who knows how I took this pic?

 

[parrisw]

Simple but effective!

This is the pic that caused the soaking wet camera. The pic was an epic failure but I froze my ass off in an ice storm in the pouring down rain so I saved it.

TZ250... I'm envious... what a lot of different lens!!

just purchased a Nikon D2H from a horse photographer. She had just upgraded to D3X $$$.
was looking for a D2X when I found the D2H. still looking for a deal on a D2X.

just getting started acquiring lens.... besides several manual focus Nikor lens. scored a Nikon AF 8-210 and Nikon AF 35-105. both work excellent with D2H. still don't have any DX Micro Nikor lens yet.

I'm going out on a limb and saying sky diving.

I don't think so on the total failure, I like the image!!

Many shooters still use the D2H because of the colors it renders and the manageable file sizes. Be patient with the lens thing. I shot for over a year using just my 18-70mm kit lens. The amount of money I spent on glass this year would choke a horse. The crazy thing is the lens hood for my 300-2.8 costs more than what I paid for my 18-70.

That D2h should serve you quite well. My old D1x takes photos that are every bit as good as my D200 that has twice the MP. Peoplke get so caught up in the MP race that they just forget what it takes to create a photo. My little point and shoot is 12MP and can shoot 1080p video but the old D1x still takes way better photos.

I had to sell a car to pay for my 500 f/4P. Definatley be patient with lens purchases. It took me a lot of years to aquire the lens collection I have. The number of lenses if far outweighed by the quality of the glass I shoot. Just buying a bunch of glass just to say you have all these lenses gets really expensive really fast. 99% of my shooting is done with one lens. That is my 28-80 f/2.8. I'll get the 300f/4 out for the kids sports events, and the 15 pound 500 will show its mug about 3 times a year. Most of the time it rests in the red velvet lined trunk that it came in. Every once in a while I'll get out the 60mm micro or the 85 f/1.8

From what i've gathered the full frame gets everything you see inn the viewfinder. Some only capture 95%. I guess when taking photos you just have to try to make sure parts you don't want to lose aren't right on the edge.

That is actually the opposite of what really happens. When you look through the viewfinder you can only see 95% of what will actually be in the photo, so if someone is head chopping it is 100% operator error.

No.

RC helicopter???

Yes!

 

[Photog95]

No.




Yes!

Good guess.:camera: I thought mine was a wild guess and would be wrong, but that was a wild ass guess and turned out to be correct.

slowly getting up to speed with controls of D2H ... must have spent 5+ hours studying the manual just to figure out basics. amazing amount of manual controls on these early pro cameras. this camera shoots at an amazing 8 frames per second.

instruction manual was cryptic on how to use a non-Nikon flash with D2H. took me a bit to figure out it's all done in manual mode.

have not printed any large pic's yet, but the pro horse photographer I purchased D2H from, showed me several prints larger than 16x20 that was amazingly clear.

 

[Rudolf73]

Yes!

Pics of the chopper please Will...

Does any one use a 5d mark II? I've been looking at it as an upgrade from a t2i.
