Fat Bikes + Photography + Down East Maine = FUN!! Lubec Maine, December 2012
Winter is only boring if you can't get out and take advantage of all she has to offer. I love riding the Mukluk in all conditions, believing in my heart of hearts, that it is the ultimate go anywhere bike. Last year I had some great winter adventures on the Ti Muk and with any luck, this winter will be no different.
It is easy to go out shooting, armed with multiple bodies, and all sorts of lenses. You are sure to find some combination that works for capturing what you come across. However, if you want to push yourself, to grow not only in your vision but also your mastery of your gear, then every now and then, grab a single body and a single lens and go make images. Figure out how to make it work. The simple act of not pulling or pushing a zoom that gives you some visual spread, but instead, actually having to think about how to capture an image with a single lens... Well that is sure to help grow your skill. If you really want to double down, then do the exercise with a wide angle lens and see where you get.
Today, I grabbed the D800, my trusty Zeiss 21/2,8 and the little Hooligan and went in search of images that captured the day.
At long last Nikon has released the much anticipated successor to the aging D700. They have released two versions of the camera with the distinction being the D800E has the anti-aliasing filter removed. This will theoretically provide much sharper images for those seeking fine detail images such as landscape photographers. As is now customary with new camera releases, Nikon produced a video showcasing the low light video qualities of the D800. From what I can tell, this is nothing short of amazing. When you watch the video, pay attention to the low light skin tones as the bike works its way through the streets.
For adventure travelers, this is obviously not going to fit into the world of 'ultra-light' but Nikon has made the camera smaller and lighter than the D700. It is my belief that if you need this type of image quality and already have an investment in Nikon glass, this is a great candidate for travel photographers. More details on the camera can be found on Nikon's site. Amazon is now taking pre-orders and you can help me out by using my Amazon links when placing your order.
