I have State Farm too what about tripod and other gear too?


I didn't add the tripod, but I did add a new monopod to the policy. My tripod is not that great. I'll eventually upgrade it and when I do I'll add it. I added cameras, lenses, filters, and cases.

State Farm required that I have SN and receipts, which I had.

Hope that helps. Durango

Very nice pics. I agree the D600 and the 24-70 do make a great pair! ;)


Thanks Db7423. You and a few others suggested the 24-70 to me a couple of months ago. It's a great lens!

I hope to get better and do it justice! Thanks for taking the time comment.

Thanks, Durango

OK, I have invested a fair bit of money in my camera, lenses and accessory items. Not as much as some of you, but a small fortune to me...

So, now I am concerned about loss. My homeowner's insurance will cover theft, fire, etc. with a large deductible. But, for a nominal annual charge, I can get the same coverage without the deductible.

However, the insurance does not cover damage during use. So, if I drop it and it is damaged, no coverage applies. If I drop it overboard on the lake/ocean and it is lost... no coverage.

The question then, is: Do any of you have insurance that covers your camera equipment while in the field? I know that there is a lot of money in that equipment, so I am guessing that there is insurance available. Can you provide some insight here?

I just(today) added my camera and lens to my Personal Items Insurance, which is an add on to our home owners policy. We have State Farm. It cost $1.49/$100.00 a year. Well worth a piece of mind. They are covered if stollen or I drop them etc.

I would photograph from the front or at a slight angle as she sprints and as she gets closer you can "fill the frame" .


Thanks Bubu for the tip. I'll try to get in front of her and shoot a little sooner.
Thanks Again,
Durango

I would consider taking the shots back where the blue background is.
Try to fill more of the frame with her running.
Looking forward to seeing more!
Hope this is helpful!!

Pat thanks. The starting blocks were just past the blue padded area. The finish line was just before that. Thanks and that is something that I do need to try to avoid. By fill the frame do you mean zoom in closer on her? Thanks, Lou


Yes, to see her better!! Leave a little room out in front of her so she has room to run.
Don't try to zoom in and create the perfect shot. Leave room her to crop back on the computer.
Maybe, you can find an area that is not so busy.

I think they look pretty good as thumbnails... You have a very good camera and an excellent lens. I would think ISO 3200 would still look pretty good with a D600. Also at 70mm that lens still has very good resolution even wide open at f2.8. At a 500th of a second you should be stopping the movement pretty good too. Something might be tricking the autofocus, at f3.5 you don't have much depth of field so focus will be critical. You might want to check the download box when you post the pictures so we can get a better look than just the thumbnail that you get otherwise.

Thanks NikonJohn, I'll try 3200 and turn off the ISO senseitivity, and give f2.8 a try. I did notice that in some of my photos all the runners were blurred, like it didn't know where to focus. That is definitely something that I need to work on. I need to understand how the focus points work and how to control that. Thanks for the tips. Lou

I took these photos of my granddaughter's indoor track on Sunday. I was in manual mode. I have a Nikon D600, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. I shot most at 1/500, f3/.5, ISO 3200, but Sensistivity control was set to 'On', spot metering, and hand held. I think the photos look a little soft, slightly blurred, one is out of focus, and grainy(too high ISO). Any suggestions on how to improve would be appreciated.

She has another meet at the same place in month. She also has a cheerleading competion in two weeks at another indoor gym. Thanks, Lou

F/3.5, ISO-6400, 1/500sec
