Perhaps if I hide behind this tree no one will notice me…
I had a nice weekend.
My children were over on Sunday for Father’s Day and we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Bonnie made deviled eggs, her famous bang-up barbeque baked beans and a homemade peach cobbler to accompany the dogs and burgers–no one went hungry. I [...]

I searched today for a YouTube video on setting up a Nikon Dxxx camera to do hands free bracketing burst. I’d previously set this up on my D300 but wanted to be sure I didn’t forget any of the settings on my D700.

I received my Nikon D700 late yesterday evening and in this post have I’ve jotted down my first impressions. Many of these observations you’ve perhaps read in reviews of the D700 but it’s things I took note of at my first hands on.
Very similar in size, weight and physical control layout to the D300. A [...]
