A very rough guide and initiation for those new to digital photography and to the Nikon D700. This site is absolutely independent, and unaffiliated with Nikon and its distributors in the whole wide world.
Born in Guatemala, living in the US almost continually since 1988, with brief intervals abroad (Spain, France, Guatemala) in 1994 and between 1998 and 2000. Only seven years ago I returned to photography after finishing my studies and getting a job at a nice, large university in which most faculty members have some type of creative hobby. Not being a professional, I can experiment and have fun, knowing I'll always go back to my reliable day job.
Just images, nothing striking or particular about them, except for the fact that they were taken with the D700 during the Middlewest Festival in DeKalb, IL.
I'd like to remember the name of this group from somewhere in Wisconsin. They managed to mix rock and folk in a pleasant way, avoiding the pitfalls of each form. The string players were good, as one can see...
I was using my AF 80-200 for this series. Even though I like shooting wide open, I chose here to go a bit off the beaten path and closed it just a little. However, for the image below...
... I went all the way to f16, 1/320, at ISO 1000 (why not? This camera can do it), just to make the star visible toward the top edge. Neat, huh?
More concert images to follow... and to prove that one can always have fun with this camera and a good hunk of glass!
