NEW GEAR!!!
So, I splurged yesterday… Well, actually invested… I purchased another Nikon yesterday, the D70s – a great upgrade to the D70 that I already currently own. I’ve noticed that shooting in past events, it was VERY helpful and efficient having a second body to throw another (different) lens on.
Speaking of lenses, I got the 10.5 FISHEYE too!!! OMG, I’m sooooooooo excited about this bad boy. I’m afraid, though, that I’ll overuse it… I’ll have to find a way to LIMIT (did I JUST say that) the use of this sub-$700 lens!!! I’m still excited nevertheless for the 180 degree WIDE angle of it. If my application for any given image doesn’t call for that “fishy” effect, I have the tools to turn it to a rectilinear, wide angle panorama!!! I can’t wait to use it this weekend for Rose and Dennis’ wedding also…
While I was there, I picked up an SB-800 flash and extra Nikon battery too. I previously have been using the SB-600(and LOVE it), so the 800 will be great supplement to my slowly-growing arsenal. BTW, I need a new bag to hold ALL this gear. My lil LOWEPRO “lunchbox” can hold all of this anymore… I'd like to stick with Lowepro because I like the idea of the All-Weather technology they've implemented and with the unpredictable weather we have here in Seattle, it's very useful -- especially because I want to have a slot for my mobile workhorse too! I'm thinking about the COMPUTREKKER PLUS AW. Shoot, my 600 STILL hangs off the side of my old one, LOL!
All of this gear will be utilized at this upcoming wedding. Kit lens on the D70 and the fisheye/rented macro and telephoto on the D70s. I can’t wait!!! You know, I think LINDSEY is excited for the new gear too! Why? Because she’ll want to rove with MOSES and shoot too! Check back next week for all of our images. Until then, check out ROSE AND DENNIS'S WEDDING PAGE (www.asencilimaging.com/bonifacio) I’ve started and will continue to build through this experience. Oh, and it HAS been an experience… A GREAT ONE at that!!!
