I shot my school's annual cardboard boat race today and I killed it. Nailed a ton of great shots and my D7000 355 1.8 DX and 70-300 VR really earned their stripes. I shot at F8 and ISO 1250 so I could freeze the water droplets. I also took some great video I'm editing soon.

Here's one of my favorites as a scaled down sample, and I'll link to my facebook album

What the D7000? Water damage, dropped or what, is it repairable?

Tried your link but got nowhere...

:lol: The camera is OK, he killed the event with the camera!

It seems to have performed well but on a sunny day a little fill-in flash might be also needed to reduce the blown highlights.

That is the problem with all these social media sites they want you to have a login to see anything!

You have to log in?

Not signing up to Facebook, no way! :rofl:


Sharon (my ex wife) recently spent an hour trying to convince me how useful it is, I was unconvinced.

:popcorn:

Sorry about the slang there haha.

Here is the Google Photos link: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/107856959498960681285/albums/5736510363983861809

A fill flash would have been nice-but I would have lost some time while it recycles (at least on the on camera flash)

Barring any damages to my D7000, I'll be sticking with it for some time. No need to upgrade (FX is nice, but not pertinent) if I'm getting results like this.[url][/url]

Probably my fault, I have led a sheltered life!!!

Good set of images, all made of cardboard? A liberal coating of resin should make them pretty strong? Or is that against the rules...

I'm not sure if you could use resin but there were some limitations to what you could and couldn't use. I'm not sure if this is an officially official rules site, but everything matched up with how the event was run. http://www.rothregatta.net/rules.html[url][/url]

This was a fun read. Obviously theman1050 is much younger than some of us on the site - I won't mention names. Sometimes I need an interpreter when listening to conversations involving my sons and their families. They have an entirely new language they communicate with.
:rtfm:
