Nikon D7000 in the Studio

Since i have had the D7000 i have used it for types of photography except the studio, I had some friends over the day after thanksgiving and thought it would be nice to have a quick studio session as their son was over for the holidays, I set my Elinchrom D lites up and set the camera to 1/125 @ F14 and shot off various poses of our friends, Yina is a keen photographer and she ended up shooting us as well, It was only a quick session but fun which is how it should be, I normally shoot the D3s in the studio but the images from the D7000 came out very well, Nice and sharp with lots of detail, A good tool combined with the 16-35VR, My 24-70 is in for repair which is the lens i would normally use but the 16-35 on a cropped sensor gives around 50mm so not too bad and good for the group shots

Here are a few from the shoot

And yours truly

Click on the images to enlarge and then use the back button to return, So far the D7000 has past every test that i have put it through and continues to impress, For the money its a true bargain and a real jack of all trades

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
