A Beautiful Golden Sunset Over Marina Bay
Sometimes I’m so obsessed with getting a shot that I’ll repeat it day after day until the conditions are just right. Every once and awhile though, the weather gods smile down on me and give me the chance to get it all in just one take – in one perfect (all be it brief) window of time.
And like I said yesterday on Facebook and Google+, Even with all the careful planning, the special consideration made for sun positions and cloud formations, even when I know I’m about to witness something truly remarkable, mother nature can still blow me away.
This is also the second shot that I’ve released from my Nikon D800 and I can honestly say that the details are razor sharp. I’m totally sold, but my computer on the other hand, is still not happy about it. :)
Wow! Another amazing shot, love your work!
I just got my D800 a few weeks ago, and would love if you can share a little about what you do to get the most out of it? Not the whole process, just what makes it different than your old equipment? I know I have had to change quite a few things moving from my D200, looking for feedback on your experience.
Not much different, if you can believe it. Be careful with the autofocus though. It seems to be a tad inaccurate at times, so make sure to double check it before you shoot. Other than that, it’s business as usual.
Love your work! This is a really great shot, and yes, the weather gods were showing off a bit in this one.
I’ve looked around to see if I can find the settings you use for your photos, as I’ve found that to be a great way of learning for me…. seeing a great photo and realizing what the ISO or the f-stop was. Is there some way to access that on your photos?
Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Hi Cheryl, If you find it helpful, I’ll try to add more f-stop and ISO data to some of my posts.
