Simple Clicks – Finding Fall
D600 – Flyin High!
A lot of folks have been asking me what I think of the D600. In a nutshell, I really, really, really like it! Had the opportunity to do an air to air with my friends at the Texas Flying Legends Museum. I used the opportunity to shoot with the D600 and it did a great job! The weird thing I’ve yet to figure out is, I have no problem handholding this small body like I do with the D800. While I’m not going to be writing a field report or anything like that, I will simply say, the D600 would be the body I would recommend to folks over the D800. Simple reason, besides the gorgeous files, it has the same “e4” flash custom setting like the D4

Nikon J2 …
Well…I’ve been shooting with the J2 w/10-30 lens and have to admit, it’s fun! Will mirrorless be replacing my D4? I don’t think so! Do I see why folks like shooting with it? Hell ya…it’s fun! The shutterlag is really non-existant. The exposures rich and pretty damn sweet. This is a Raw (10.3mb) file processed with ACR 7.2. So I only have a little time so far shooting with it but I can say I like

D600 Observations
Kinda stuck in Boston so went for a walk this evening with the D600. It’s been a rainy, drizzly day so finally just before beer time we went for a stroll. I took the D600 with a 24f1.4 attached just for fun and to get use to it. There was no light but I shot anyways. The first thing I noticed was it’s a great feeling camera! And when you shoot with it, it has the old time, F3 clunk when it fires. I like that. What you see here is a HDR, 3 image HDR. Ya, while Nikon gave the D600 the ability to disconnect the camera and flash exposure comp, they only gave it a 3 image bracketing system. That aside, my initial, (repeat initial) feeling is a really like the D600 files. The 14bit Nef is 31MB of gorgeous info. So it’s like all photography, the ying and the yang and so far, the pros out definitely out weighing the cons.
