Wanted to try out my new-to-me D700 so ...

... I spent the last couple of days taking snapshots here at home. I thought I'd share a few that I think turned out half way decent.

Please, keep in mind that I haven't really done any shooting in quite awhile, drink two pots of coffee a day, edit using Picasa 3 (have had LR4 for a year and have yet to use it) and all the shots are handheld.

I think I'm going to like this D700. I've got a D200 too so I've already got some gadgets that are compatible with the D700 which always helps.

These were all taken using both a Cosina Voightlander 58mm f1.4 and Micro-Nikkor 105mm f4, manual focus lens'. I hope that you like them and thanks for looking ....

Oh! I mixed a cell phone picture in with the rest. Can you tell which one it is? Also, can you find the ham or should I say hams?

Sinatra

Caterpillar

Gate stuff

Hmm ...

Hmmmmm!

Forest floor stuff

I just know there's a Dilla in there ...

I'll jump!!

Yeah ... right

He went this way

I've had enough of Dilla hunting ...

Lunch!

Thank you!

I'm working on getting my 100%, genuine macro shooting things together so I'll be seeing you over at the True Macro-Photography Forum, soon.

I've only used the D700 for a couple of hours so I'm not real familiar with it, yet.

I have noticed though that while looking through the viewfinder, I'm seeing a big, fat, huge, gigantic, annoying focus indicator or something right smack in the middle of the frame that is pretty annoying and makes focusing a little troublesome. Had I known it was there before my purchase, I might not have bought it. I need to read the manuals that I received with the camera to see if there is something that I can do to remedy the situation.

Hmmmm .... no guesses from anyone as to which is the cellphone pic? Maybe they all look like cellphone pics? lol!
