RB Melbourne Group meet - Xmas 2007 - lots of pics...

Thanks for organising Mel/jJo, i had a great time and had a ball taking these pics… !!

All photos taken with available light. Note the changes in colour as the evening starts with harsh sun, then sunset light then no light from the sun at all (artificial).

Nikon D3 and 50mm 1.4 lens combo rocks…

Noob!

    ah cheers, the lighting was really bad in there with no flash. WB was set to the coldest (K+2500) and still pics were too orange/red.

    Holy crap, what ISO was that, I have a D80 and I can’t even get that clean of photos in low light! Hats off to the D3!

  • earthairfire

    earthairfire, 8 months ago

    Brian – from about halfway through, they’re all ISO6400.

  • Adrian Rachele

    Adrian Rachele, 8 months ago

    Hien you suck. Bloody D3. Soooo jealous. I was thinking about selling the D80 and opting for the D300. You just made it even harder. I just came back from the US and spent $2000+ over there just to save me 30% on the UK markup. Purchased the 50mm 1.8 while i was there. So cheap and so very good those little 50mm’s are they not.

    Anyhow very jealous. here i sit all on my lonesome. No one to inspire me but myself and the occasional brouse of RB. It’s a sad existance.

    Your all so photogenic as well. How do you all do that?

    Great shots BTW Hien. Use that D3 to it’s limits mate. I would if i was mad enough to put myself in such a dept. Maybe a that’s why white lies were invented. Tell the wife it only cost a thousand.

    6400. Bastard.

    ^^ LOL !!

  • Stephen Colquitt

    Stephen Colquitt, 8 months ago

    Hien – Thanks so much for letting me have a play with the D3. Stunning pics, low light is no longer an excuse for bad photos!

    Oh, and for those that dont know that is me in the first picture.

    Cheers
    Steve

    PS: Crotch shot! HA!
