Granville Street Twilight

If there's one thing I like abiout the D800, it's the ability to bring out detail from the shadows which I did here. Just terrific...and you can do the same thing with highlights.

Another sample of the difference in quality between the D800 and D700 under low light conditions.

The quality of the D800 on the bottom is just a bit better than the D700 on top. Quality difference comes out in low light conditions.

I stumbled on the quality differences of the D700 and D800 while shooting low light at a stage play. The natural colours are sre so much more solid on the D800 (photo below) as opposed to the slightly blown out photo of the D700 (photo on top).

choir

Senior year for my daughter and so my last as well. I've been taking the choir group shots for so many years now. This is about the best of the shots. The group was well arranged and the lighting came out right. Have basically tried the same light setup but never quite getting it right. This was practically out of the camera with only lens correction and WB changed.

city in fog

We've been getting a lot of fog lately and I thought shooting the major buildings would be nice. However the Shangri-La was more a stroke of luck as my wife likes to go to this area. And I saw the fog hit the building. Unfortunately I rushed it and I couldn't quite figure out a good composition. The streaks along the side of the building was interesting and unexpected.

Whatcom Falls Almost Fail

Quick visit while the wife was at the mall. To my horrors found that I didn't have the little attachment for the camera that connects it to the tripod. Holding it on top of the tripod wasn't very stable so I thought to connect it to the tripod directly. It worked but maneuvering the tripod was slow and unwieldy, Oh well at least I got a few nice photos out of it as well as explore more of the area. I'll be back...

Farmer's Market, Los Angeles

Farmer's Market, Los Angeles, a photo by SlowManLuis2011 on Flickr.

The Grove without the TV glitz is a fairly humdrum location to shoot. But the surprise for me was to find that the Farmer's Market was adjoining to The Grove. Something that I found out when I walked to the end of the street and discovered the building with the Farmer's Market sign. I rarely came to this market back in the 60's but 3rd and Fairfax somehow sticks in my mind. Talking to this man about the old days was quite interesting.
