My combination for this week will be the D300 and AF Nikkor 85/1.8 D. 

 

If anyone else wants to shoot any single lens with me for a week, feel free to post what you get in this thread.

Walking the dogs at Kennack Sands, followed by an evening stroll at Penrose.

Today, I only had time for a quick available dark session in the garden. The flower is some type of wood anemone.

More flowers from the garden today. During my lunch hour, the light was far too hard for such a contrasty lens. These were shot as soon as I got home from work. This meant that I had a reasonable amount of light to work with, unlike yesterday.

A walk in the woods this morning

 

Oh, and these ones...

I may try and jump into this and shoot a few with my 70-200 over the weekend...mounted on one D4 unless I decide to put it on my other D4...don't have the mount to put it on my Nikon 1!  I will do my best to take some time to get some shots!

Far too hard light midday again today. I went for a little walk at dusk instead.

 

I'll start with this one, just to surprise Dean again... They aren't exactly rare on Swedish roads. This is one of the few angles where the GM abominations still look like Saabs.

A trio from our walk yesterday evening. These two are OOC jogs because I didn't have time to even mildly tweak them...

 

 

This one, 'the one that got away' is very heavily cropped (50mm @ f1.4) and the camera was set to Auto-ISO but at a base setting of 100 and I didn't have time to change it. The camera defaulted to ISO100 and a shutter speed of 1/60th. It wouldn't work in a David Attenborough documentary but I quite like it.

A couple from this morning...

Nice pics, Dog. You have a good eye!

 

For what it's worth, the image quality in any of David Attenborough's recent docs blows me away!

 

And, if you can't afford a 4K or higher TV, you may as well leave the DVD in the store. LOL

So here are a few from last week with my D4 and 70-200

 

I had to include at least one action shot...my son is trying to teach himself to throw a net to catch bait fish.

 

 

He has had some success, but definitely needs work...I also wanted to get a photo of the weather vane on top of the roof of our dock...

 

 

 A couple of general photos - landscape across the water and my neighbor's sailboat.

 

 

 

A general shot of our dock and a passing sailboat...

 

 

 

And a humming bird who happened to show up for a visit...
