Had a chance to visit St. Louis Air Show this year with friends and family. Perfect weather on this Sunday for an air show and took my good old Nikon D70 to shoot, as D600 is yet to be serviced by Nikon LA center. Cropped sensor coupled with Nikon 70-200mm came in handy for this event shoot. As I knew beforehand that it will be a sunny day, took my cheap ‘o Tiffen ND filter and shot the entire event with the ND filter ON.
Had a chance to shoot pictures for my friend (on Friday) who had Pooja & Bhajans at his home. He is an Ayyappan devotee who is observing 41 days fasting.
Shot this as my friend’s daughter was singing bhajans.
On a side note, I had a chance to put my hands on full frame Nikon D700 and some nice lens (Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8) on Friday. Another friend of mine, who had bought these recently was nice enough to let me shoot with his gear. It was a nice experience handling D700 – given the fact that I had to shoot at extreme low lights. I was amazed on how I could bump up to 6400 ISO with minimal noise.
For now I’ll be shooting with my D70, but I will keep on dreaming 😉
