February 9, 201511 yr I can see star motion at 25s at 20-24mm on a D800. Quite pixel peepy, but it is there. 30s at 14mm is okay though.
February 9, 201511 yr They are called autoguiders. Good luck with that rabbit hole. I almost got an astrophotography setup but then I realized that with the hours I work I'm not willing to stay up until 3am taking photos. Edited February 9, 201511 yr by Dreadhead
February 9, 201511 yr They are on Flickr. The story is key. Doh! I missed the progression at first look ... thought you were doing something like photo a week or such. Very nice set, and enjoyed the story.
February 9, 201511 yr This is the first of the 4 most important photos I will take all year. Click through to Flickr. It is very important you view these in the right order. This is #1 byLord Nikon 12, on Flickr
February 9, 201511 yr One of the most heartbreaking but yet satisfying volunteer projects I've been a part of. Today I went to a local pediatric oncology ward with 3 classmates and we hung out with some of the coolest kids ever. This was one of my favorite shots from this morning. On the right is Ana, who wants to be a pediatrician. On the left, is Jerimiah, who at the ripe age of 20 months wants to give everyone 'fist bumps of love' forever. We got to spend just a few minutes with each kid as they awaited their treatments. Just as we were getting comfortable, we got a constant reminder that they were there for chemotherapy. An awful plight but the incessant hugs and being asked to give everyone piggy back rides made it somewhat ok.
February 9, 201511 yr Kelida being wheeled away to the bathroom. She kept up her spirits throughout and gave us some beautiful smiles. Unfortunately, the treatment caught up and she did not feel well. Her grandmother did not speak English and Kelida was translating for her the entire time. She only spoke French and both of them kept laughing at my constant repetition of, 'feuille de papier' - the only french I remembered from last year.
February 10, 201511 yr Good timing - Nikon aims for the stars with the D810A, world’s first full-frame astrophotography camera http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5786202951/nikon-d810a-astrophotography-camera
February 10, 201511 yr ^ That is awesome! Man I want to get into the hobby but I have too much stuff going on and it's only going to get busier with a 3rd kid in the next week or two.=.
February 10, 201511 yr That's a pretty expensive conversion. I thought there was a company that modified that filter for like $250 or something.
February 10, 201511 yr That's a pretty expensive conversion. I thought there was a company that modified that filter for like $250 or something. D810a is $500 more than the D810 (MSRP) NOBODY in Japan has a very good record for getting pro-level cameras right enough that they don't need a recall or 2, in the last few releases anyways. Having a warranty is probably worth $250 this early in the game. I'm curious if Nikon will ever make a B&W version. I mean, I would much rather have a GR-monochrom, but I imagine that a D810-monochrom would be very practical for micro-photography and other non-color-sensitive documentation.
February 10, 201511 yr The additional settings and functionality available also make it more than worth it.
February 12, 201511 yr Froze my ass off tonight trying to shoot some night shots with the D750/20f 1.8. Caught a plane heading in to DCA
February 12, 201511 yr Nicely done, Jeff. Some really nice images there. Now go warm up with a nice beverage or three.
February 12, 201511 yr Was about to pull the trigger on the 20/1.8 but will wait for the sigma 24 now. Looks like a great lens.
February 12, 201511 yr We'll see how that Sigma turns out. It's a lot of extra bulk for 2/3 stop on a less wide lens. I like the aggressive pricing by Sigma.
February 12, 201511 yr Nicely done, Jeff. Some really nice images there. Now go warm up with a nice beverage or three. Really like that last one of the statues! That last one is haunting yet beautiful. Wow! These!
February 14, 201511 yr I have not yet grown bored of the GoPro. Or tried to take it apart and broken it. I'm a bit more amazed by the second part, really.goproheart by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr In the highly unlikely event anyone cares, I shot this from the back, and flipped it which is why the signs are all messed up.
February 14, 201511 yr Holy distortion Batman. Wide lens is wide. Clever use though - flipping the image.
February 15, 201511 yr From a while back. The sky was a boring blue grey so tried selective color. 'Separated by Water'
