This is an unusual shot just
for the fact that the Nikon D70s and Nikon 80-200mm/2.8 lens was used. I still
love that old camera and it still works great. There is really no comparison to
my newer, bigger camera but it works and under the right circumstances will
turn in a great picture. It is amazing how much digital photography technology
has come since the D70 was issued.
As a member of a really big
photography forum people are always asking abut the D70 because it is one of
the cheaper used DSLRs available. I usually post the same thing in response.
“It is a great camera with a few shortfalls including low light performance,
small file size and a small LCD screen.” The lens that came with it, a Nikon
18-70mm/ f/3.5-4.5 AF-S DX is also quite serviceable and still finds its way
into my camera bag sometimes. Even though the lens is not full frame it
occasionally finds it way into my camera bag and onto the D700, which
automatically senses it and shoots a smaller photo. In my opinion one of the
better kit lenses ever issued by Nikon. It did well down in Florida last winter
and took some nice shots.
Everything has been kind of
leading up to our band show on Friday night this week. I had to setup my stuff
at the band room last night and then tear down and unload it at home last night
only to throw it all back in the car tomorrow and set up and tear down at the
venue. Lucky I love to play and don’t mind the work. I really do need to find a
way to slim down my keyboard rig. It can be a nightmare to setup/tear down but I am
the one that wanted a Hammond Organ.
