I had a chance this past weekend to accompany a client to an event where they were showing off some of their wares. As it was 16-hour marathon, I had lots of opportunities to capture the scene around me.<br /><br />I put several cameras to work, including multiple Nikon bodies as well as some others (onboard two different drones) to capture some sights and sounds. If anyone's curious, here's a quick 3-minute montage.<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://vimeo.com/user27040244/review/107548303/0d8cc33aed">http://vimeo.com/user27040244/review/107548303/0d8cc33aed</a></strong><br /><br />But for this venue, it's three stills for the weekly thread.

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 <p>Hi everyone in Nikonland, I’ve been absent I know. It’s just been a horrible year. Too many losses & struggles for our family near & far. I’m hoping for a change with a turn for the better for the rest of the year. With this I’m hoping to get back to my photography, though the subject may become boring for most.<br> Matt - that looks like a fun experience. I bet it was loud :-)<br> Meet our new horse Jamestown. He’s only 17 months old so I have some waiting to do to be allowed to ride him. But lots to do until then & many opportunities to photograph him. Most probably I’ll bore most with my photos, but ultimately all I care about is what I want to photograph. Not so artsy I guess, but my photography has really been put to the side for a while now. Hoping for a change....<br> These are shot with the D800 paired with the 24-70mm f/2.8<br> #1 D800, f/3.2 @ 70 mm, 1/1600, ISO 400, -2/3 EV Shutter priority (My favorite photo of him so far)<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s12/v175/p1043820572-5.jpg" alt="" /><br> # 2 D800, f/5 @ 70 mm, 1/1600, ISO 400, -2/3 EV Shutter priority<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s4/v67/p571521304-5.jpg" alt="" /><br> # 3 D800, f/8 @ 55 mm, 1/1600, ISO 400, -2/3 EV Shutter priority<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s4/v66/p1044159629-5.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 <p>Nice to see you again, Lil. Lovely young horse, there. Nothing will make one pick up a camera more than something new and interesting in your life - he'll be a great subject.<br /><br />And yes, it <em>was</em> loud. I wore heavy duty hearing protection, and was glad I did!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 <p>Thanks Matt, he is a sweetheart & we've only had him less than a week, & you're so right :-)</p> <p>I'm glad you wore hearing protection. You could have damaged your hearing.....</p> <p>You know, I do check the thread at times, but don't comment. So I have been visiting. Always wonderful to see what people share :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 <p>Trying to decide whether to keep a 28mm f/3.5 PC-Nikkor I hadn't used much since finishing a film project several years ago. Occurred to me I hadn't tried it yet on the Fuji X-A1. So far the results look better than this same lens on the D2H. Now I'll need to keep it awhile longer and try it downtown on the renovated Sundance Square buildings, and some of the refreshed art deco facades. While a 42mm equivalent isn't wide on the Fuji, it's still adequate for many of the not-so-tall buildings downtown.</p> <p>And the PC-Nikkor's very finely tuned shift knob is handy for recomposing slightly without needing to reorient the tripod. If you've ever tried to finesse a composition slightly for a closeup after setting up the tripod, ball head, etc., you know how annoying it can be without a macro rail or geared head when you realize you're a fraction off the desired composition.</p> <p>This is the tree I photographed earlier this year that has some interesting natural graffiti, courtesy of some creative wood boring beetles. I'm a fan of graffiti and street art, so I'd like to meet the Banksy Beetle responsible for these etchings.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylebybee Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 <p>I recently purchased a used Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 EX APO HSM non OS for my D7000 under the advice of fellow photo.net member Eric Arnold. I couldn't be happier, thanks again Eric. So I know I've posted shots of my Boxer Lilly before, but she was handy.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
