Nikon D3x style with Landscaping

To night's post is all bout  the Nikon D3x when it come to mid day landscaping,first we need to in about
your location for today shoots these were shot at


Karekare

Karekare is one of Auckland's most spectacular beaches and wilderness areas.  Part of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park, Karekare was made famous by the Oscar winning movie 'The Piano'.





  Nikon D3x   lens AFS 16-35mm    Focal length 26          F number 8     Exposure time 1/800




When it comes to mid day sun i use SD 440 DV Sunshade 4x4












With TiFFen filters

Neutral Density Filters
These filters reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene.  They are especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure.  Neutral Density filters also allow proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth-of-field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus.
  • Eliminates overly bright, washed-out images
  • Balances exposure
  • Controls depth-of-field
  • Allows slower shutter speeds to produce blurred motion effects



You can shoot great Black and Whites as well

High ISO in a Auckland City Pub.

I was out last weekend and i was using a Nikon D3s in a dark environment , so i pull out my
AFS 35 mm 1.4 f and started having fun with high ISO. This shot was across from where is was sittting.







                
                                                 Nikon  D3s , AFS 35mm 1.4 f  ISO 4000

                                                      Nikon D3s AFS 35mm 1.4 f ISO 2000

This is a close up of my dinner



                                                    Nikon D3s AFS 35 mm  1.4 f ISO 4000



and I use the window as my natural light


                                                Nikon D3s AFS 35mm 1.4 f  ISO 6400




                                             Nikon D3s AFS 35 mm 1.4 f ISO 6400

So my take is that this lens is very sharp in the right focal range and it tells you straight away
when you get out of its range.
Happy shooting everyone from the team of Sharp Photography
