My Love for Nikon started with D90, one of the earlier superb from Nikon. The love for D90 is simply because of the ease and speed with which it performs. When the new replacement for D90 was announced it was like, why? But with the release of D7000 the question has changed to Why not!!

D7000 was released on late September and it was an immediate hit as soon as it hit the markets. Apart from rating this a replacement for D90, it is purely an upgrade to the caliber of D90. The WOW part about D7000 is 16.2MP resolution and a full HD 1080@24fps movie recording with continuous focus option. The D3100 did show a glimpse of what full time focus on movie mode can do to your DSLR and D7000 completes this. Although I am not a great fan of shooting movies using a DSLR, but this works great! Priced at around $1200, D7000 comes in competition with Canon EOS 60D or the Pentax k-5. Earn money and get yourself a DSLR. Play simple and interactive betting games at 겜블시티 보증.

The general feature outline will be :

DX-CMOS Sensor or APS-C 23.6×15.8mm

16.2MPUpto 25,600ISO

3inch LCD Screen

Upto 169 Lense options

100% View finder coverage

Movie mode with continuous focus (auto)HD video recording with 1080@24fps

these features are great and really help you to choose this camera over any other in the market. D7000 offers a 6frames per second shoot and the 100% view on viewfinder marks D7000 out from competition.

In addition, it comes with a magnesium alloy Top and bottom covers which is a plus. Although sad that it misses weather shield. D7000 offers a 39 point focus system and also uses a 2016RGB sensor which is much superior to what competitors offer or what D90 had ( 11point focus, 420p sensor). With the 39 focus points you also have the option to choose from the 21 or the 9 active points. Although the reviews does show that at a time only 9 focus points get active for shoots. D7000 comes with a dual slot for memory and also an option to plug in external microphone, so now that is a plus for video recordings.

Sad part about the package is the kit lens that comes along with camera which is 18-105mm DX VR lens which is all plastic and should be replaced with better quality glass. With the kit lens on, the 16MP resolution rarely shows effect and you can easily get the feel for a replacement after first few shots.

I will recommend a 70-200mm 2.8 VRII Nikon lens or Sigma 70-200 2.8 lens to start with.Another negation as you may find is the low priced options from Canon on the same end, although I will easily recommend a canon if you wish to shoot movies using your DSLR but for traditional photography and a hint to what looks on the pro side of photography, D7000 is a must have camera.

There is something about certain pictures that you’ve seen that just doesn’t look right. You know the color is off, but can’t figure out how to fix it. Is it your DSLR lens? Or is the camera’s sensor broken?

No, the color quirks in your photograph are a completely natural, yet undesirable function of your camera and lens. That overly blue tint, or fiery redness consuming your photograph can be dealt with. But first, let’s examine exactly what white balance is and why it’s so important.

Every kind of light in your photograph–and in the real world–has a temperature that makes it appear blue-ish or red-ish. Ordinarily, we expect red things to be hot and blue things to be cold, but color temperature works in exactly the opposite way. So sunlight, a “warmer” temperature light, is actually bluer than household tungsten bulbs, which are cooler in color temperature, yet produce a red light. Both of these temperatures are on the extreme ends of the temperature scale, so your camera tends to misinterpret the colors in both of these areas to the extreme as overly blue (outdoor sunlight) or overly red (indoor light). The trick is to either adjust the lighting on the scene that you want to photograph so that it is a nice, in-between color temperature, or to tell your camera to compensate for the extra blues or reds.

So, the definition of white balance allurs to just what it sounds like. You want to balance or correct the color on in your photograph so that the parts that are white when you look at something in real life are also white in your pictures. Not only that, but you want the blues to be blue (not purple or green) and the reds to be red (not purple or pink). You want every color in your photograph to represent what is truly there is real life.

Why is this so important? Well, whethere you realize it or not, the mood and feel of your photograph (and of your surroundings) is largely determined by the color temperature prevalent. red can give a more cozy, antique, personal, feeling while blues give a colder, static feeling that’s better suited for non-living objects.

So how do you adjust the white balance on your DSLR camera? Some camera’s auto modes have the options within their menu marked “WB” in which you can tell the camera what type of lighting you’re working with so it knows what to adjust for. Or, you may be able to instead change the light in the area you are photographing. If indoor light is casting way to much blue or red, open a window or door, or turn on an extra lamp. Another option is to buy a set of filters for your camera lens that will adjust the light coming in. Or, you can adjust the color temperature in Photoshop or a similar photo editing software.

An good artist, whether by paint, drawing, sculpting, or photography, pays attention to the mood, the feelings, the vibe, the emotions that his/her art throws at those who view it. He/she wants it to truly reflect what it was meant it to. So, whether telling a story with portraits, objects, or just documenting a special events, take the time to consider what your color temperatures are saying to your audience and make adjustments so photographs will tell your story the way you want it told.

This May Be the Last Year for Production of Kodachrome Film

“Mamma don’t take my Kodachrome away…” Paul Simon, 1973.

My uncle served over in Korea way back in the 1950’s. While he was there he bought a camera set at the PX. I guess the soldiers were allowed to buy electronics over there and bring them back duty-free. The outfit consisted of a 35mm reflex camera, a portrait camera that flipped open on top and had dual lenses on the front, a metal tripod that was made out of chrome and brass, and a brown leather carrying case. He gave me the outfit a few years ago and I still have it in my closet. It has several rolls of film and a couple of 50 year-old batteries in it. Recently I found a photo lab here that sells 150-film for the portrait camera. The film is really wide, much wider than 135 mm. I was lucky to find the stuff, but evidently they still make it. I understand that it’s used mainly to take photographs of medical x-rays and that sort of thing. The camera still worked after all that time.

I remember my first camera that I got as a child. It was one of those Polaroid “Swinger” models that used black and white film. It was an instant camera that you took the shot and then pulled out the film. This broke open a packet of developer that was in the film. The only problem was the picture curled up as soon as you pulled it out of the camera and then you had to coat it with this really nasty, smelly, sticky shellac type substance that was almost impossible to get off of your fingers. Later Polaroid would add improvements such as color film and eliminate the sticky coating. But the 35mm reflex and Kodak film was the standard by which all other photography was measured. It was, after all, what the professionals used. If you are looking to invest in some equipment, you might want to consider playing some fun sports betting games via townvibe since they could be really expensive.

Then along came the digital age. Polaroid may have sacrificed some quality for convenience, but now with the advent of digital cameras, consumers could get high quality photographs with the convenience of either printing them out or storing them in their computers or on a website. They could even take pictures with their cell phones and send them to each other.

According to a report on CNN, (www.cnn.com), some professional photographers fear that the days of Kodachrome may be over. Kodachrome is a meticulously crafted photographic film that is extolled for its sharpness, vivid but realistic colors, and archival quality. Only one commercial lab in the world, Dwayne’s in Kansa, still processes the film. Kodak now only makes the film in one production run per year and the current lot is due to expire in next few years. Kodak refuses to say whether the current run will be the last or not, but many professional photographers are either reluctantly making the switch to digital, or stocking up on their supplies. Some of them say that while digital photography is crystal clear and realistic, it’s almost too realistic. The Kodachrome film just seems to add a certain ambience to the photography that digital just can’t capture.
