Street candid - faces in the crowd

Update: Faces from San Francisco (0607-001) on Photoduniya.com

 

Most of the time it is fun lugging the 10 lbs camera and a 10 lbs bag in the streets. Its funnier when a bunch of guys make it a point that you give them the best shot!

Street candid - faces in san francisco

They were skaters, young and enthusiastic. I could not change the settings on my camera quick enough to take a mono chrome, and had to change it in Adobe Photoshop. It is a plain desaturation without any specific changes to RGB channels.

Taken on Nikon D200 with an effective focal length of 600 mm f/8.0 on Lexar CF media.

I have written about Top (popularly known as Top Cat) before. he has been playing the saxophone for over 11 years now and runs teaching classes for kids. That apart, he is a regular player at many of the San Francisco Jazz clubs. Here is an image of Top playing in Geary Street.

Top Cat - playing the saxophone on Geary Street in San Francisco

 

The uniqueness of the artists is preserved through their dress. Top regularly appears in his traditional black cap with the impression of a skull, and his black hooded fleece jacket. That apart, what sets him apart in looks, is his goatee and the black pair of sunglasses.

 

The image was taken with hand held Nikon D200 with 17mm - 35mm f/2.8 lens and fill flash at -1/3.

 

 

Nikon D300 launched - Nikon steers well ahead of Canon again

Along with the latest Nikon D3, the company also launched the Nikon D300 on Aug 23, 2007. From the specifications, it is closer to D200 in features, though it uses a CMOS 13.2 effective megapixels sensor.

 

This is a DX format sensor, with the benefits of the improved auto focus mechanisms of the Nikon D3. It still uses the battery from Nikon D200, the EN-EL3e, which is known to have a very poor battery life.

 

Priced at about USD 1,900, the body is expected to hit the US & UK markets in November 2007, the same time as the D3.

Here’s a brief of what the D3 has to offer:
