Photography is often about the moment. When I saw this ship out on the Potomac sitting in this little bubble of light, I knew I had to move fast. This is my first frame – by my third the clouds had shifted and the ferry was in the dark.
You’ll have to forgive me this post because it’s probably going to get very technical. This weekend I’ve rented what I consider to be the “wedding kit” – a full-frame body with excellent low-noise high-ISO capacity – here the Nikon D3. This combination of lenses totally blows me away compared with what I normally use. I have a nickname for my regular gear, too – my “bang around” stuff. Not that there is anything wrong with the Nikon D80. In most cases, you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference between the two cameras. It’s when things get tricky that the camera really shines. Like here:
Basically every morning in the winter, I get up and go “woah” at what is happening outside my window.
