nice rods man but you didn't use your d80 for this shoot, did you?

[touringcamry]

The photos were taken with a D70.

Nikon d70s, nikkor 18-70mm, nikon sb-600.

I was also trying out a DIY flash diffuser / reflector. Some of the shots, I used direct flash as I noticed the flash was firing at full power with the diffuser / reflector.

Prefer to use bounce flash instead of direct, but theres nothing to bounce off of outdoors.



The other photos I posted (zoo & airshow) were shot in better lighting (day time) and with a different lense (sigma 70-200mm f/2.8).

what's the f/ rating on the nikkor lens? i would assume 4.5 or something.

the 2.8 lens is amazing, however. also, amazing are the pics you took with it.

f/3.5-4.5

The lens came with the camera (i bought a kit). For the money its a good lens, but theres obviously better lenses out there.


Now that I think about it, some of the pics I took at the airshow were shot with this lens. All the in flight shots were with the 70-200mm f/2.8 though.

the 2.8 lens is amazing, however. also, amazing are the pics you took with it.

Yeah, the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 is a sweet lens. I'm very happy with it and the pics it produces. Its also about half the price of a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR.

I may buy a 1.4x TC for it, so the lens becomes a 98-280mm f/4. Taking the 1.5x focal length multiplier of the camera into account its 147-420mm f/4.

Few pics taken with the 70-200mm f/2.8. I don't think I posted these, so I'll post them in here instead of starting a new thread.
