Well I finally did it! I had a birthday and turned 40! Well actually, I haven't had my actual birthday yet at all. It sure felt like it this morning when my lovely husband presented me with a D700 as an early birthday present. Well, I have been dying to try it out all day, but being the usual busy day, I waited until this evening and decided that that was actually most appropriate seeing as...

I had been out a few evenings ago shooting some night time shots with my D7000. Now there are loads of discussions on the web about the D700 and it's phenomenal light performance. I had to test it out. With the D7000, I was struggling with the usual manual focus only and noise issues. With the D700, I was able to auto focus under the light of the moon, not much focus hunting around either. Impressive! Examining the shots on the back, they seemed pretty good but I certainly was very impressed when I cranked them onto my big screen. A whole heck of a lot less noise! Yay! This suits me very well as I like to shoot and often choose to shoot in challenging lighting conditions. This camera and I are going to be firm friends! I can tell already.

    I am a visual person. I find that surrounding myself in creation, feasting my eyes on what is before me and daydreaming a little is great refreshment for my soul. I also read avidly about trends, techniques and technicalities associated with visual art. When I can, I love assigning large chunks of time responding to what I see and crafting my own art. Here is a place to put that down.
