The first time in 7 years…

The first time in 7 years…
I am touching the end of my Nikon D700 test shots. This is exciting for me because I can finally make a decision and devote more time editing photos rather than pixel-peeping.
Just a little recap, this is my first experience with the Nikon D700 professional camera and as a satisfied Nikon D7000 user, I wanted to know the differences of both bodies and just how much better the professional body is at over double the price.
Disclaimer: When a camera body 2.5 years older than another body which has newer technology is still double the price, I have to be convinced that the older and more expensive one is better.
Yesterday was a pretty important day. It’s the first time I held and looked through the viewfinder of a Nikon full-frame camera. I decided to make a comparison of the shots between the professional camera D700 which has a full sensor and the professional-standard camera D7000 which has a crop sensor.
My special friend, my daytime companion, my baby girl.
…Then one fine day in late September of last year, we came home from school and I knew the thinking had to cease and the doing to start. So within 5 minutes, I grabbed the things I knew I wanted to use and set-up the shots in my 5 meter square garden.
The second of the series is all about our family’s Christmas cake this year and my pocket camera.
Now let’s get started. This is a set of tips for Christmas week or Christmas morning.
Welcome to this new series that was borne out of my personal need to regularly do something creative. If you are new to my page, I’m Lily and I have three little children and a camera, so I guess that qualifies me as a MWAC {mum with a camera}.
I’m in the middle of heavy editing and feel like a break is in order, so I’m writing this. If you are not into photography, stop here as this will bore you.
I have been playing around with my lenses to keep them from getting too dusty! Here are a few shots taken with the old and trusty 50mm 1.8.
