Love at first click… : Nikon D3

Excuse me for the nerdy camera geek post which is to follow….. you’ve been warned!

I was lucky enough to be in the first group at my local camera shop to get one of the AMAZING new Nikon D3′s that came out a couple of weeks ago. Oh. My. Goodness. I don’t live that far from the Nikon headquarters so I’ve been considering driving over there and bowing down and telling them I’m not worthy. All I can say is WOW. It is one fantastic camera, but at the same time I have to say, it’s about time they gave us a full frame camera!

The first three shots below are SOTC/SOOC with only resizing and sharpen for web. I’m beginning to think I should send a love letter to Nikon. For the photographers who read my blog and are on the fence and thinking of taking the plunge, it truly is all that and then some.

Oh and the willing subject as my regular blog readers will know is my little sweetheart 6 year old.

I used the 85 1.8 on these.

and of course my little one thinks she’s Tyra Banks and needs to strike a pose every time she sees the camera…

CUTE!!!
Been thinking about taking the D3 plunge myself. Sounds like Nikon finally hit the jackpot with this camera. Thanks for the input!

Merry Christmas!

Gorgeous shots – of course. If I knew how to use my camera, and thought I had any potential as a photographer – I would offer you $$$ for your old camera ;) My New Year’s resolution is to become friends with my camera and know what ISO and aperture mean. Duh!

I hope Santa is good to you – although who could want with a D3 in hand! I would like just a little of that thick curly hair on your son’s head – which would mean Santa will be brining me product and a perm. lol.
