blurrist Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I really missed my 2013 Nikon Coolpix A, so just bought another with only 330 actuations. I love the way this little DX compact makes images. And it's easy to carry. This sample was taken in a historical museum when I caught the 19th century one room school teacher giving me the eye. The docent on our tour said, "She's a bit glamorous, don't you think?" [ATTACH]1307440[/ATTACH] Yes, she really is, esp. in old school mood.

lahuasteca Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 "Anda de Compras" (shopping) I guess this is where I should be posting these. Images are from a Nikon D60 at a "tianguis" (flea market) in Port Isabel, Texas. These are candid street portraits. The purpose was to give a try with the D60/16-85 lens in preparation for a long-awaited and posted about "La Ruta Maya" trip to Guatemala in July 2020. I'll be doing a lot of candid street and landscape (Tikal and other ruins in the Peten). Sure, I could spend a lot of money on newer equipment, and maybe I will, but I have to travel very light, and I don't want to risk a lot of very high tech equipment in the heat, humidity, and dust. Please tell me if I'm on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahuasteca Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 More D60 images from the flea market in Port Isabel, Texas, 11/3/19. "Vendedora" (vendor at the flea market). Nikon D60/16-85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahuasteca Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 And another candid portrait - "Pareja" (a couple). Nikon D60/16-85. These are examples of what I would like to do in the western highlands of Guatemala - visiting modern Mayan communities for markets, fiestas, and danzas tradicionales (traditional dances). Discretion is the key. What should I take. The larger equipment with the fast zooms gets noticed like real quick. Stay with the D60? Update? I do have a D700/24-120/70-200. Big, loud, and obvious. Thanks. Gene 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royfisher Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 D200 and 18-55mm AF-S VR II kit zoom (a DX lens, but the 2014 version tweaked for 24MP, so not really old-school). Taken about 12 minutes after sunset, 1/3 second handheld at ISO 400. From the raw file, processed with Darktable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrankin Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 All of your D60 photos are very good, and your market photos are lovely. I like the subjects, composition, dynamic range, color and exposure. This camera should serve you very well. I had a D80 with the same sensor, and loved it. Good travels!

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm in a real quandary about what to take - I know the D60?18-200 is antiquated; there's much better AF, sensors, and lenses out there. But I'll be backpacking and traveling light. Here's another un-cropped image from the D60/18-200 (much maligned lense), taken this past Sunday 12/15/19 at the fl ea market where I'm practicing my subtle un-noticed street photography.

desmobob Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The D200 makes a perfect "beater" camera. I bought a low shutter count specimen that was having command dial issues for a hundred bucks, then repaired it at no cost. Now I have a great DSLR that I'm not afraid to take with me anywhere. Lenses are a bargain, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
