Folks have pinged me asking for my D750 Settings, so here you go. The D750 has its movie settings separated out in the Movie Menu now, I really like that! Keep in mind, these are just my preferences and this list doesn’t mean these are the only ones. These are simply a starting point for your photography. I truly enjoy shooting with the D750 and hope of have the video up for it shortly telling you why. Many have asked if I have a favorite lens for the D750. The answer is, whatever the subject requires to tell its story.

Terry White just posted about Aviary this morning and with that vote of coolness, I had to grab it. This is a photo editor unlike any out there for your iPhone / iPad / smart device that right now is FREE! And if you have an Adobe ID, you can get the ENTIRE Bundle of effects / filters / frames for FREE as well (I’m all about that)! You might have noticed that I’ve posted a lot of images on my Instagram page taken with the D750 or Nikon 1 V3 via their wireless capabilities with the iPhone / Ipad. I’ve been playing (when I should be writing) with it doing that and processin in Aviary and I’m here to tell you, it’s damn cool! It’s all FREE right now so you might wanna grab it yourself and play. It’s fun!

In 1976 was the first time I entered the Nikon Photo Contest and I won an Honorable Mention. It was the latest of life’s signs pointing me to a career in photography that being a junior in high school, I needed. The deadline for the contest is quickly approaching and I want to encourage you to get involved. I bet you’re a much better photographer than you think and this is a great way to prove it to yourself!

Yep, I’ve added the D750 to my camera bag. It would seem in an earlier post I said I wouldn’t and I’m very happy to say I was wrong, very wrong! Now why did I do that? There are a couple of reasons the main one being, it simply does a great job real easily! For example, these shots of the AZ Ground Crew Gang (a HUGE favorite of our K&M Air Adventures). I had two goals, be able to share instantly the fun on social media and big time image detail. The D750 has built-in Wifi so one can instantly connect via the Nikon App to a smart device, in my case an iPhone. Then I can instantly sent the image out like to Instagram which I did. And the image quality … I offer you this …
You can see below the crop of the boys doing what they do best. Shooting with the D750 / 24-70AFS @ f/2.8, I took out the slice below in PS after applying OnOne Perfect B&W 9. The D750 delivered on both needs handsomely, so much so I’ve added the body to my bag. I’ll try to get a video and my settings posted within the next week.
