Nikon D7000 - initial photos

[DJDD]

Hi all,

here are some photos taken with my wife's new Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 35 mm f/1.8 lens at a recent party out near the otways in central victoria.

just thought i woudl show what the D7000 can do.


after struggling with the D80 this camera was a revelation...

no stacking-straight JPG from the camera (i think we deleted the NEF files).

all short exposures as there was some trailing around 15 seconds.


details are:

1. DSC_0314-25.jpg
camera = D7000
focal length = 35mm (52 mm equivalent in film)
F Number = f/1.8
ISO = 800
exposure = 15 seconds

2. DSC_0320-25.jpg
camera = D7000
focal length = 35mm (52 mm equivalent in film)
F Number = f/1.8
ISO = 800
exposure = 8 seconds


cheers!

thanks. looking forward to your photos now.


my shots were nothing special but i was just impressed with them when compared to the old D80.

my wife is again over in nepal, but with this camera on this trip, so i am looking forward to those shots.

Nice images ... amazing what a modern camera can capture in just a few seconds.

Nice shots.

I have seen astrophotos taken with a Nikon D200 which I think has the same chip as your D80 and the improvement is amazing.

hi i have the pentax k-5 it has the same chip and is amazing at 80 iso it has no read out noise even on long exposures and 14 stop of dynamic range, have a look at this link, stacks of only 3 no flats,darks or noise reduction

and its high iso noise is great, this owl was shot in the dark at 3200 is:eyepop:

so enjoy your camera

Interesting to note that the classic Nikon purple stars are still making themselves apparent. I liked my Nikon for single-shot moon and, believe it or not, planetary - but stars were always a distinct problem with their continuous purple flare.
