Only have use of the Nikon D700 for another day or two, so I was keen to squeeze in one last shooting session. Decided to duck down to Dee Why to see what I could find. I like the challenge of photographing some place I see all the time. As usual, if you look, there are endless possibilities…

Had to head over to Sydney for a couple press functions, so I took the Nikon D700 along for a bit of a play. Ended up grabbing a few snaps… (a great camera!)

A few days ago I got my mitts on one of the new Nikon D700 full-frame DSLRs*. So, I loaded up a fresh battery and a blank CF card and went picture taking in Sydney…
The D700 turns out to be a lovely camera to work with. I was up and shooting without so much as a glance at the manual. And the image quality… wonderful!
For those of you interested in the tech stuff, I was using AFS Nikkor 24-120mm lens.
*I’ll be reviewing the D700 in due course, but if you’d like to learn more, then check out Margaret Brown’s comprehensive report on the Photo Review Australia website.
