What a morning! I’m incredibly fortunate that Bill Pekala & Carol Fisher at Nikon NPS have made it possible for me to shoot with a D3 right now and OMG! I mean, OMG!
The DLWS gang spent their first morning shooting at Fishtown and what a subject rich environment, perfect for my first run with the D3. The camera just rocks! If you shoot with a D2Xs, getting comfortable with the D3 takes seconds. The large viewfinder and FX sensor is just to die for. Shooting again with a 14mm at 14mm brought tears to my eyes. The AF system is awesome, the metering and dynamic range is better and 9fps is simply the sexiest sound in the world! The new color engine and AWB are really nice and the dual card CF works beautifully. If I wasn’t in the middle of teaching, I would go on and on and on and on about the D3. It’s SO much more than a high ISO stud! I’ll keep posting D3 images as long as I can produce ‘em. Can you tell….I’m dam excited!
