  1. <p>Planned on taking fireworks photos this weekend, went to the location and could not get descent backgrounds, took photos anyway. On the way back home, I saw the landmark I wanted on the background, thought about image overlay on the camera and here is the result.<br>

    D7000 70-300vr @ 112 f/5 iso 100 1 second</p><div>00Z06r-377053584.JPG.3694de966a31d9175f8ccfa68c7e9a9a.JPG</div>

  2. <p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=6187339">Pavan Nagaraj</a> here is a link that may help with the baby photos: <a href="http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=15244&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=39161">http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=15244&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=39161</a><br>

    I think you will be fine with the 35. I would lean toward something like a 17/18-50/55 if you are buying a new lens because you will need to include the baby mommy and family in the pics.<br>

    Congrat and take a lot of photos.</p>

     

  3. <p>This is what the D7000 manual said page 208 about release priority and focus priority:"Regardless of the option selected, focus will not lock when AF-C is selected for AF mode. The camera will continue to adjust focus until the shutter is released"<br>

    I think what <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=19054">Ilkka Nissila</a> <a href="../member-status-icons"><img title="Subscriber" src="../v3graphics/member-status-icons/sub10plus.gif" alt="" /></a>said above should help you. The D7000 is less forgiving than the D90, therefore any mistake will be a bit exaggerated, but once you understand that(this will improve your photo techniques), this camera will be a pleasure to use. Enjoy</p>

  4. <p>Greetings everyone. I am entering this photo in The 2011 Iowa State Fair Photography competition. The theme this year is : OUR WORLD IN MOTION. For some reason the background color change once I re-size the photo.<br>

    Thanks <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5203249">Jennifer Meighan</a> for your comment on last Wednesday photo.</p>

  5. <p>Glen- Great advice here, but I have to agree, prime will work but they are not very flexible. I have used a Micro Nikkor 60 afs for basketball, and it worked well with limitations. With your seats a 70/80-200 or a sigma 50-150 and such will probably work best.</p><div>00YmFE-361821584.JPG.ca6f7edfc371a064a276b8af3b951efb.JPG</div>

    An important factor in this case is also the camera used. In general the same lens will not yield the same results on two different cameras like a D40 and a D300. So using a Nikon camera and a Canon camera to compare lenses in not an ideal solution, but it will just give you a start.</p>

  7. <p>Here is my conclusion after reading yours comments:<br>

    Richard : you are right on target to suggest that a new camera with improved af will help big time on sport photog.<br>

    Shun: Nice quote, you confirmed what I was thinking of from the beginning that for birding I have to look for maybe a 300 f4 afs + tc, and as you suggested I will steer away form the 80-400.<br>

    Eric: your suggestion of a light travel kit and standard zoom lens between 24 and 70 make sense for traveling.<br>

    Benjamin: you are probably right that 300mm should be enough for the trip.</p>

    <p>Summary: Definitely upgrade the camera body; I’m leaning toward the D7000, but first I will get the standard zoom. The 16-85 is the perfect zoom range but 5.6 is very limiting. Any suggestion for the standard zoom is welcomed. Thanks</p>

  8. <p>I have been reading many posts here, and people always seem to favor upgrading lenses before body (unless the slr is from 3+ years sort of speak)<br>

    I am using a D60 with Nikkors:<br>

    12-24,<br>

    35 afs,<br>

    50D,<br>

    55 3.5 micro ai,<br>

    and 70-300vr.<br>

    I do portrait of my son, lots of sport photog and birding (will like more reach than 300mm handheldable and subject background separation if possible )<br>

    I have been saving for the D7000, hoping that the possibilities to crop will do wonder.<br>

    (ex: 70-300vr+D7000 = maybe 10 mp digicam + 80-400 af)<br>

    In this situation, will D90+80-400af more tempting than D7000?<br>

    Or even, will D60+70-200vr a choice (this is a better financial investment)<br>

    We will be going to West Africa (Senegal) next year, and I will visit a bird and wild life sanctuaries (small safari).<br>

    Which route, do you think is more favorable?<br>

    Shun, I know from reading posts here that you used D300 +300 2.8 afs, and also D7000 + 300 2.8 afs. Do the increase in mp a big plus for cropping pictures?</p>

    <p>Thanks in advance, and merry Christmas or Happy holidays to you and yours</p>
