Cincinnati Photoshoot

Went out on a photoshoot with a couple of local photographers to Cincinnati on Saturday.  Spent the afternoon shooting around Vine Street, and then went out again at night both in the city and across the river to Covington, KY to catch the skyline.  I'll post some photos once I have a chance to go through them.  A couple of us are going to try to do photoshoots in cities around the midwest.

Cincinnati at night.

As always had a good time walking the streets after dark.

It's that time again. Haven't posted in a LONG time. No excuses, just been busy doing other things. Still taking lots of photos however.

OK, here's what I've purchased since my last post. I upgraded to a Nikon D300s DSLR. This replaced my D200 which is now my backup camera. The main reason I purchased this camera was the high ISO ability. This suits my photo style very nicely since I do lots of late might photoshooting.

Also, I just purchased a uber Nikon lens, the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED. Wow, this lens far exceeds my expectations. I took it out as soon as it came in. Plug alert, I purchased it from B&H Camera in NYC. This piece of glass is to replace the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 that I posted about earlier. The Tamron is a fine lens, it's just that it didn't focus fast enough (or at all) in very low light situations. In most lighting or photo situations the Tamron will work fine, but I needed something speedier, and I think I found it. Love it so far. The downside is the huge price (I do this as a hobby so $1,750 is huge) and the weight. It's one of the heaviest lenses I have.

Here is a low light, hand held shot I took the other night. I had the camera set at apeture priority, f/2.8 and auto ISO.

 

I'll try to update more often.  In the meantime, pick up your camera and shoot something.  I do.
