Photos taken with the Nikon D200.
...and now for the Nikon D200. For two or more years now I have been using a Nikon D100 as my primary camera. Although the D100 is an extremely advanced camera it is too complex. However, after 30 sec out of the box I was taking good quality photos on the D200. It seams to me Nikon has a winner here. The controls are where they belong and very easy to figure out. Day one I just started out by taking pictures of everything. I have several thing that I have photographed before. Below is a rusted gate, chain and lock. Except for the color change on the lock all of these pictures are as is. The next picture is a gate ornament on the same gate.
I have been practicing all summer. I now have a good feel how to make consistently good photos. This all comes with a high price. I had a vary toxic observer. My neighbor has a privacy fence to protect his yard. This fence, however, is in affect is an observation point. I did think of this until a couple of days ago when he pretended to be talking on the phone and was up agents his privacy fence. His one sided conversation consist with providing a list of all of my actions in my yard for the summer. He explained in his speech what each photos was and its intended use. He also talked about what his has had access to on my Facebook page. This indicated that all aspects of my life are being monitored.
Summer 2009 photos.
Year end 2009 photos.
The following photos were taken using a Nikon D200 and a Nikon Micro Nikor 60 lens. The background is blue poster board and I had two florescent shop lights overhead. I used a piece of ultra white to set the white balance. I used aperture priority and was set to twenty something. The shutter speed on these three was about five seconds. Picture two demonstrates a series of dominos being knocked down at about one second intervals right to left. Picture three is a series of dominoes standing, while several dominoes are dropped on them.

The next four photos were taken with the same camera and lens. I used the largest f number I could set for the mannequin. The exposure was twenty five seconds. Notice the wood grain in the mannequin. The jewelry was taken at f10.
